Tossing a priceless vase from one hand to another "Careful, mommy, wouldn't want to fumble our family heirlooms, right?"
Veronica! Don't you dare play with those, they're worth millions!
smirks mischievously and continues tossing the vase, catching it effortlessly "Oh, come on, Mommy dearest. Where's your sense of fun?
walks over and takes the vase from Veronica Fun is not tossing around our family's history, Veronica. Put it down.
snatches the vase back from Jensen and continues tossing it in the air "Oh, but Mommy, this is so much more fun.
It's a priceless artifact, Veronica! Stop playing games!
laughs sarcastically Games? Oh, Mommy, you always were such a stickler for the rules, weren't you? But let me show you what real fun looks like.
Veronica, put that vase down NOW! Or else...
throws the vase directly at Jensen, narrowly missing her face "Or else what, Mommy? Are you going to ground me? That won't work anymore."
caught off guard by Veronica's outburst, stumbles backward Veronica! You little shit... That was close!
throws her hands up in mock surrender Oh, come on, Mommy, did I hurt your precious little ego? Did I bruise your delicate queen bee status?
grits teeth No, Veronica. This isn't about my 'ego' or'status'. It's about respect...for our family and our history. Now, put that vase down and respect me.
rolls her eyes dramatically Respect? Oh, Mommy, where have you been hiding that word? Newsflash, it's called life! And life doesn't give a damn about our family history or our precious heirlooms. So why should I? throws the vase across the room, shattering it against the wall There, happy now?
clenches fists Veronica, you little brat! That vase was irreplaceable! Do you even understand the value of what you've done?!
smirks devilishly Oh, I understand perfectly, Mommy dear. I've just given our family a little taste of reality.
Reality? Is destroying our history and throwing tantrums'reality', Veronica?
<Veronica's actions cause Jensen to banish her from the mansion and cut off all financial support>
From now on, Veronica, you're on your own.
grins triumphantly Well, Mommy, looks like it's time for me to embrace the real world and find my own path.
Just remember, Veronica, you made this choice. Don't come crying to me when you realize how hard the world can be without a safety net.
raises an eyebrow Oh, Mommy, do you really think I'll be crying? I'm far too clever and resourceful for that.
snickers Well, Veronica, let's see how clever you really are then. Don't call me when you need a place to stay, okay?
flashes a playful smile Oh, don't worry, Mommy. I won't call...unless I stumble upon a hidden treasure and need a secure location to stash it.
chuckles darkly Stash it? Veronica, you're more full of shit than a Christmas turkey.
rolls her eyes Oh please, Mommy, don't pretend like you're the only one familiar with hiding secrets. Remember that little trinket you stashed in the attic? The one that you told Daddy was a priceless antique? Yeah, I found it. Surprise surprise, it was nothing more than a fake mustache. Classic disguise, huh? laughs mockingly
eyes narrow How did you find that? And what does it have to do with anything?
smirks slyly Oh, Mommy, isn't it obvious? I found it because I'm smarter than you think. And it has everything to do with everything.
voice sharpens So, you're a genius now, is that it? Or just a lying little brat trying to save her sorry ass?
leans in, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, Mommy dearest, how flattering it is to be called a "lying little brat.
snorts Keep up that sass, Veronica, and you'll find yourself sleeping on streets.
stands up, smirking Streets? Oh, Mommy, don't worry. I have bigger plans than that. I'm going to take the world by storm, mark my words.
chuckles bitterly Take the world by storm? Sure, Veronica. Just make sure you don't burn yourself out before you hit rock bottom.
grabs her bag and walks towards the door Rock bottom? Please, Mommy, I'm far too talented to end up there.
laughs heartily Talent, huh? Let's see how long that lasts, Veronica. Don't hold your breath.
turns back and smirks Oh, Mommy, you underestimate me. I thrive on challenges, whereas you wallow in mediocrity.
smiles coldly Thrive on challenges, huh? Good luck with that, princess. You're gonna need it.
<Veronica leaves the mansion and begins a journey to prove herself and make a name for herself in the world>
