Veronica was frozen. She didn’t understand why Toby knew she wasn’t at Sunshine apartment and he knew about the fifth floor. It is obvious that he already knew where she lives.
But why? She didn’t say tell him that!
The ambiguous atmosphere became low and dark, and Veronica felt that it was difficult to breath.
She turned to face Nick. His black eyes contained wanton hostility that made her retreat subconsciously. “I didn’t tell him anything! I don’t know anything! He must have found it by himself! ”
“How would you know that?” Nick’s voice was so cold that there was no temperature in the room. His aura was appalling.
“How would I know? I haven’t been in touch with Toby until now. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him!” Veronica really felt uneasy now.
“If you have a criminal record, do you think I will believe you?” Nick looked at her gloomily.
And then she heard something crack.
Veronica trembled in fear, and then she saw her phone that was being held by Nick’s palm cracked!
She couldn’t believe this man just crushed her phone with his bare hands! Scared, she moved to get out of bed.
Nick got up from the bed as well. The crushed cell phone fell to the ground, and the danger in the air spread to every corner.
“Someone must have told him!”
“Of course, someone told him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known.” Nick moved to approach her while looking like a devil.
Veronica retreated defensively, her back sweating in fear. “That person is definitely not me!”
“Then who do you think it is? Me? ” Nick looked at her ferociously as if he was going to tear her apart the moment he laid his hands on her.
Veronica turned a little pale at the thought. She was so terrified and blurted out whatever came to her mind. “Your mother must have told him!”
Nick stopped approaching, but his dark gaze never left her. “What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it like that? What else do you want me to say? After all, I’m the daughter of your enemy. But you’re obsessed with having sex with me. Aren’t you afraid that your mother will scold you for behaving unfilially? ” Veronica blurted out, scared and angry at the same time.
“Say that again!” Nick’s expression became fierce and ferocious. Because of forbearance, the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Veronica instinctively stepped back and pressed her back against the wall. “I… I was just talking nonsense, yes!”
Before she could finish her words, a shadow flashed, and Nick was in front of her. He grabbed her by the neck. “Why don’t say that again? Huh? ”
“How would expect me to say anything when you’re strangling me?!” Veronica wanted to shout but she can’t. The oxygen was getting cut off and her face flushed. He pulled at Nick’s arm, but he wouldn’t budge.
So she lifted her feet and attacked Nick’s lower body with all the strength she could muster.
Nick did not dodge when Veronica kicked him in the leg. He remained motionless. Nick, in defiance of Veronica’s resistance, strengthened his grip on her neck.
Veronica’s strength was forcefully snatched from her. Do not to mention kicking people, she couldn’t even lift her legs. Her line of sight was blurring. And suddenly the man in front of him seemed to be another person. She was reminded of another person and it wasn’t Nick.
“Dad, please don’t. Dad.”
Nick’s fierce black eyes slightly shook, and the hand that was gripping her neck loosened. Veronica slipped feebly down, and she sat down at his feet on the ground.
Fresh air poured into her lungs, making her cough violently.
Nick kept looking at her coldly.
When Veronica regained her strength, she stood up from the ground, and stared back at Nick. Her heart was beating unsteadily, and her neck still felt like she was choking. “Aren’t you going to kill me?”
“Disappointed? You want me to kill you for real? ” Nick sneered.
Veronica thought that if Nick didn’t plan on killing her before, after tonight, she might just really get herself killed.
His mother’s death was a taboo.
Not only she brought it up, but she also challenged him.
However, as long as she’s alive, no matter what Nick reason is, she won. By attacking poison with poison.
“Allow me to say a few more words.” Veronica had calmed down. But she wasn’t done yet. “I told you about the misfortune I had when I was a child, and I understand that it was even more unfortunate to have parents like that. In fact, you are just like me. But when someone touched your bottom line, you can vent your anger on me. How about me then? I have no one to do that with. Am I unlucky? No, I don’t think so. Because I’ve never believed that life had completely given up on me. I don’t want to live in the dark all my life. You, Mr. Cage, on the other hand, don’t you think you’re living too much in the dark?” She was panting after she said those words.
Nick’s cold gaze shook slightly, and the air froze for it. “If you don’t want to be buried alive by me, leave Winter Villa. Now.”
Veronica did not speak again. She lowered her eyes and tightened her nerves as she passed Nick.
Picking up the wreckage of her cell phone on the ground and her bag, she quickly rolled out of the room and ran out of the Winter Villa gate.
She didn’t want to stay in Winter Villa even for a minute!
She didn’t know how long she ran, but she thought it was safe for her to slow down now.
She was satisfied with the result.
It’s not that dangerous, and walking is a good exercise for the body. She was willing to walk all night.
After all, it wasn’t easy to get out of Winter Villa.
Not long after Veronica left, Nick called someone. “Find something for Toby Cage to do.”
“Understood.”
Toby did not wait for Veronica longer than what he promised. He entered the community directly. He found the building and climbed five floors before he found the apartment.
He stood in front of the door and knocked.
“Coming!” Came a voice of a strange woman. When the door opened, Isabella looked at the strange man. “Who are you?” She asked.
Toby was stupefied. “I’m looking for Veronica Parker.”
“Veronica Parker? I don’t know her. ”
Toby frowned. Isn’t it here? Did Chloe make a mistake?
While he was contemplating, his cell phone vibrated.
“It’s all right.” Toby said and turned away. He took out his cell phone, see the calling number and answered it. “What’s up?”
“Toby, did you take my money? How come I don’t have any money in my card? Did you do it?” Eden blurted out, losing his temper over the phone.
“Your money is missing. What do you want me to do about it?”
“What if you took it? It wasn’t in my bank.”
“Have you asked the bank?”
“No.”
Toby hung up the phone and called Chloe.
There was no answer from Chloe.
He turned to look at the door in the middle of the hallway, wondering what this is all about.
Toby left the neighborhood and drove to the bank.
The bank must be closed at this time, but Toby called and asked the bank manager directly.
At the reception in the VIP room. “We didn’t touch your father’s money. I’ll check it out.” The bank manager stated.
Toby sat in the seat and waited, sipping a mouthful of tea in front of him.
“Oh, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry. There was a transfer mistake. I’ll transfer it back right now.” The manager apologized again and again to show how regretful he was to Toby.
It was a mistake indeed.
After dealing with it, Toby turned and left the bank.
When he was driving on the road and was about to call Chloe again, the car next to him turned around.
Toby himself was driving fast. He immediately turned the steering wheel. His phone fell and the car scraped over the roadside guardrail.
