Leonardo's POV
"The Nelson name opens doors that money can't buy. Playing matchmaker here works in my favor big time. When Mr. Nelson gets back on his feet, I know Cecile will make it worth my while. Why would I pass that up?"
I could hear every word Veronica spoke through the gap in the door. She wasn't about to spill her real motives to anyone.
Smart move - painting herself as some shallow opportunist chasing cash and connections. Nobody would guess what she's really after.
Her little chat with Altair hit my ears crystal clear.
Damn it. I knew this woman had an angle.
To me, Veronica screamed gold-digger - hunting for Nelson money and that coveted Mrs. title.
Altair bought her act completely. A slight grin crossed his face. "Perfect. Look after my brother. Get him healthy, and I'll see you're taken care of."
"Much appreciated, Mr. Nelson."
