=Becoming a Mother=
In 1982 she witnessed a robbery, and was brought in for questioning. She was questioned by Jett Wellington, who started hitting on her. One thing lead to another, and eventually she was raped by Officer Wellington. As a result of this, she became pregnant. She then dropped out of school, and out of sight while she was pregnant. She couldn't let anyone know that she was pregnant. She was ashamed of what happened.
Her parents passed her daughter off as her sister. Meanwhile Veronica was too ashamed to return to high school. So instead she turned to prostitution. She made a little money, but it was never enough. She wanted her daughter to have a better life than she did.
=Opening the Brothel=
In 1996 at the age of 30, Veronica opened Club 969 a brothel. Many protested the opening of a brothel in town. But she used the influence she had gained and blackmail to keep the brothel open. Club 969 flourished. And when Jett Wellington was named Chief of Police, she blackmailed him into keeping it open -- telling him that Allison Avery was his daughter.
She hired many girls over the years including Mikki Ramos, Colette Emile, Ferrari Allen, Virginia Simms, Daisy Addison, Venus Mercado, and Linda Weston. The club was located in the lower quarter of Ruby Springs.
=Opening the Bank=
In 2000, she opened up AA Bank and Trust in order to make sure that her daughter would always have some money. She knew that if she went to jail, or if she died, Allison couldn't run Club 969. So she opened up AA Bank and Trust with AA standing for Allison Avery. She explained this to her daughter, but never explained that she was her mother.
=Angels of Death Investigation=
During the investigation into the murders in Ruby Springs, Veronica continued running the brothel. She was named a suspect, which lead to many keeping a close eye on her. She and Kristian Hagen continued working together, though often their interests would conflict. Her number one girl -- Mikki Ramos wanted Tion Jones-Jennings a Lt. in Ravenwood dead. Even more conflict came up when she was asked to support Whitney Whitner.
=After the Angels of Death=
After the investigation, Veronica continued running things at Club 969. She never married, and never had any other children. She tried spending more time with her daughter as it was the only thing that made her happy. She eventually handed the club over to Mikki Ramos, taking more of a backseat. She and Kristian Hagen stopped working together shortly before he went to jail. She did however help Daisy Addison look after his daughter Georgia Hagen. She also used the information that Jett was her daughters father in order to have Colby Dobbs suspended from the force.
