Chapter 673 Veronica & Monica vs Hiroshi Sisters
Day Seventy-Three…
~~*****~~
While Vincent and Alexander discussed their next moves, Monica was also preparing for her evil plan. She contacted Veronica regarding the poisonous weapon she requested from her.
"Hello Sissy, Are you done with the weapon I asked you for?" Monica asked Veronica as soon as she answered the phone.
Veronica scoffed from the other line. She hated how this woman was calling her sister. She had no idea that her sister, Monica was alive. However, today, Monica planned to reveal the truth to Veronica—no more reason to hide. Besides, Jane and Nathan have already discovered her true identity.
"Stop calling me, Sissy. I'm not your sister!" Veronica snarled at her.
Monica just let out a soft giggle. "Who said that I'm not your sister?"
Veronica's eyebrows were drawn together when she heard that. "What are you saying?" Disbelief could be seen in her eyes.
"I'm your sister, Monica. I'm alive. Can't you recognize me? Although I've altered my face and my voice, I remain your sister. If you have doubts, we can undergo a DNA test," Monica revealed the truth with a matter-of-fact tone.
Veronica, exasperated by Helena's mention of Monica, retorted, "Don't toy with me, Helena. I don't have time for your games."
Monica sighed deeply and continued, "You're quite naive, Sis. Do you think I would come to your aid if I weren't your sister, Monica? I've even forgiven you for your past attempt to harm me. I know you had Marco try to kill me because of your obsession with Nathan."
"Marco is affiliated with Vincent," Monica added, a mocking laugh escaping her lips. "I'll always be aware of your wicked schemes, dearest sister."
Veronica fell into a momentary silence, her world thoroughly rocked by this revelation. Could it be possible? Was Helena truly Monica?
"How is that even possible? I witnessed your death. We cremated your body," Veronica stammered, still deeply unsettled and unable to come to terms with the situation.
Monica calmly responded, "The woman who died in my place was the real Helena. She was obsessively in love with Nathan. I, on the other hand, only have affection for Vincent, so I allowed her the opportunity to be with Nathan under my identity. She willingly chose to die for him. It's not my fault. I can't fathom why both of you are so crazily in love with Nathan," Monica continued, her tone laced with mockery.
Veronica, her anger building, retorted through clenched teeth, "How dare you! You're the one who came between us! Nathan should have been mine if you hadn't approached him. If you didn't like him, why did you seduce him in the first place?" She was seething with fury.
Another giggle bubbled up over the phone. "My dear sister, I can't reveal everything to you. Who knows you might betray me again. And you might choose Nathan over me."
"Then how about Ethan? Is he Nathan's son?" Veronica questioned her with utmost curiosity. She couldn't accept that her younger sister managed to trick everyone, including her. She failed to see through her plan. If she was evil, then her sister was worse. She was a great manipulator!
"Oh, Ethan?" Monica paused for a moment. She was cautious with her answer. She couldn't trust Veronica completely so she had to keep the secret from her.
"Of course, Ethan is not Nathan's son. He is Vincent's son… and my son."
"You are so cruel, Monica. How could you use your own son to deceive Nathan?! You and Vincent are crazy!" Veronica couldn't stop herself from ridiculing Monica's actions.
But Monica just laughed at her reaction. "You have no right to judge us, Sis. You did so many evil things just to get Nathan. But in the end, you still failed. You allowed Abigail to seduce Nathan. And now, the man you were obsessively in love with was in love with another woman… Phantomflake. The patient you kept alive."
That revelation was another huge blow to Veronica's ego. Who would have thought that Nathan would fall for Phantomflake– the person Nathan hated the most?
"You are lying to me. You just want to provoke me." Veronica refused to believe her.
"I'm not lying to you. The reason Nathan doesn't hate her anymore is because… he already found out that I'm alive. Phantomflake revealed my identity to Nathan. This is the very reason I need to acquire that weapon. I can kill Phantomflake through that. And I can also avenge you from Abigail."
"We are allies, dear sister, so there's no need for anger. Our rivals are Abigail and Jane. Let's direct our hatred and frustrations toward them. They must be dealt with," Monica asserted with unwavering conviction. She then inquired, "Now, where can I find my weapon? Are you done creating it?"
After a while, Veronica heaved a sigh of defeat. "Yes. I already shipped the serum yesterday. It was an express delivery so expect the cargo to arrive by tomorrow."
A sly smile formed on the corners of Monica's lips. "Very good. Have you seen the news? Abigail and Dave are having their engagement party. Hmm. During their celebration, I am going to use the serum to test its effectiveness." After saying that, Monica burst into a peal of sardonic laughter.
"Best of luck. Just ensure that the next news I receive is about Abigail's death, Sister," Veronica finally acknowledged Monica. She recognized that dwelling on the past served no purpose. Moreover, Monica's point had struck a chord. It was more sensible to focus on targeting Abigail and Jane instead of harboring resentment for her own sister, Monica. Veronica had only resented Monica before due to her connection with Nathan, but now that she knew Monica was with Vincent, that resentment had lost its hold.
"I love it, Sis. We should work together to destroy those two women. I hate them the most!" Monica declared. The sisters didn't realize that they were up to Hiroshi's sisters. Only Vincent knew the connection between Abigail and Jane.

[ At Sparks Mansion… ]
Crash!
Ethan's glass of milk tumbled to the floor in response to the conversation he overheard between Monica and Veronica. Anger welled up within him, visible in his eyes. He found it difficult to come to terms with the fact that his biological mother could be so cruel and evil, even going after Abigail and Jane.
'I… I can't let her harm my mom… and Aunt Abigail. I have to stop her no matter what!'
Ethan immediately moved, grabbing his laptop. He made sure to download the recordings. But then again, he remembered that some details in the conversation must be cut down. He couldn't let Jane and his father know that he was not Nathan's biological son.
Ethan meticulously edited the voice recording before sending it anonymously to both Jane and Nathan. He was well aware of the urgency of the situation and the need to expose Monica's wicked scheme. Ethan had full confidence that Jane and Nathan would stop at nothing to shield Abigail from harm, and this revelation was the catalyst that would force them into action.
'I'd rather betray my biological mother, as long as I can protect Mom and Aunt Abigail,' Ethan thought to himself.
Aside from sending the voice recordings to Jane and Nathan, Ethan also took action, tracking the parcel that was sent by Veronica.
