Veronica Parker’s cold expression caught Tom off guard, and they went inside.
They both sat down in the corner.
Tom Parker greeted his friend with a smile as he came over and sat down in the opposite chair.
“Veronica, is it because of what happened when you were a child that you didn’t like dad? If that was the case, I hope I can make up for it. ”
Veronica Parker felt that what he said was the same as what Chloe Bowen said.
In many cases, the significance of making up for it was not great but was nearly biased.
“Aren’t you going to tell me about your life? I’m leaving if you don’t say anything.” Veronica Parker said.
“How is your relationship with Chloe Bowen? I mean after you guys met again.”
“It’s fine.”
“Chloe Bowen is a woman who likes money and can do anything for it. Even if I didn’t investigate, I knew that Chloe Bowen’s marriage to a rich man would not be glamorous.”
Veronica Parker felt that they both agreed with this topic.
“Did she do anything wrong to you?”
“Yes.” Veronica Parker said truthfully.
“Whatever she does to you, don’t promise her. She’s not really your real mother.”
Veronica Parker looked up, looked into Tom Parker’s eyes, pretended to be surprised, then calmed down and said, “I probably guessed it, too. No real mother would be so cruel. Then who is my real mother?”
Tom Parker said nothing and drank the wine in his glass.
Veronica Parker watched him drink, and the panic that took root in his heart began to burst out.
Tom Parker beat her when she was a child, mostly because of drinking.
How he beat her was not light but was severe.
She was scratching her clothes with her two fingers that were on the side.
“Who is it?” Veronica Parker endured her discomfort and asked.
“It’s not that I can’t tell you, but I have a request.”
“What?” Veronica Parker was not surprised at all, but for a moment she had no idea that Tom Parker would make any request to her. It would not be the same as Chloe Bowen, for the sake of money. “I’ll tell you, first of all, I don’t have any money.”
“Not for money, but one thing. I want the right to develop the land in the southwest. Now, it has fallen into the hands of Nick Cage. If that piece of land was developed, it would become the second prosperous area of the capital, and you can only imagine the value of it. Just sell me this land and I’ll tell you who your real mother is. It’s an easy deal.”
“How much are you going to pay?” Veronica Parker asked.
“One billion.”
Veronica Parker sneered and felt that she was dreaming, “One billion? Why don’t you take it? Even if I wasn’t into business, that didn’t mean I don’t watch the news. You can’t get that piece of land even if you increase it tenfold, right?”
“That is why I need your help.” Tom Parker made no secret of his greed. “Don’t you want to know who your real mother is?”
Indeed, Veronica did want to know who her real mother was.
But Tom Parker’s request was just to get her to come forward and take advantage of Nick Cage.
It seemed that Tom Parker already knew about the relationship between her and Nick Cage, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing so openly!
“You have a lot of nerve, but sadly, you are not worthy of it.” Veronica Parker looked at him coldly, “If that was what you wanted, there is nothing I can do about it.”
“You really don’t want to know who your real mother is?”
“It doesn’t matter, it will appear when it should be.” Veronica Parker did not care, and she stood up and left.
“Veronica, wait a minute.” Tom Parker exclaimed as he grabbed Veronica Parker’s hand.
Veronica Parker turned white with fear and stepped back.
Her back bumped into someone, and then her shoulder was hugged. To be exact, the hand wasn’t directed at her shoulder, but on her arm, in a tight, possessive position.
Then a deep low voice said, “I’m late.”
Veronica Parker shook her body, turned her face, and looked up, looking blankly at the sudden appearance of Nick Cage in front of her.
‘What was he doing here?’
‘Was he invited by Tom Parker?’
‘Could he invite someone as powerful as Nick Cage?’
There was no way! The only reasonable explanation there was, is that Nick Cage followed her!
As she thought of this, she didn’t know why but it eased her fear of being around Tom Parker.
“Are you not satisfied with the big gift I gave you last time?” Nick Cage’s intense eyes looked at Tom Parker coldly.
Though Tom Parker was afraid of the gift, he was forced to accept it. He subconsciously and respectfully said, “Mr. Cage, you misunderstood. I just wanted to catch up with my daughter. It was just a misunderstanding, that’s all.”
Veronica Parker looked at him coldly and caught up. ‘Not a threat?’
“Do you agree with me?” Nick Cage was as cold as frost. “She’s mine now.”
Tom Parker was speechless when he was asked. He pushed his glasses and said, “I’m sorry.”
“I heard you have invested in the capital recently. You are allowed to withdraw within 24 hours, otherwise, you will bear the consequences. ” Nick Cage said, hugging Veronica Parker and turning away.
The rest of the ballroom dared not come near, they even huddled against the corner by the aura of Nick Cage.
They were the people who didn’t know Nick Cage.
If you have asthma, you may have trouble breathing.
No one was even allowed to talk or chat.
The humiliated Tom Parker turned pale with anger, and his hand holding the glass trembled with excessive force.
This Nick Cage was deceiving people too much!
When they got into the car, they immediately drove away.
Veronica Parker sat by the door and broke the oppressive silence in the car. “What are you doing here?”
“Coincidence.”
Veronica Parker looked at him suspiciously. How could it be a coincidence? Did he think she was stupid?
“Even without a tracker, it was easy to know where you are.” Nick Cage said.
“Yes, the whole capital is yours. It’s hard to know where I am.” Veronica Parker said somewhat passively. “But there’s one thing I’m curious about, what kind of gift did you give Tom?”
“Do you really want to know?”
“Never mind.” Veronica Parker turned to look out the window. She wouldn’t be threatened by him.
Forget about Tom Parker threatening her, now everyone is threatening her!
She would rather not know who her real mother was than be threatened by Tom Parker.
With a tight jaw, her face was pulled and she was forced to look at Nick Cage’s vicious eyes.
A low, serious voice sprayed thin on her face with a scorching breath. “You can ask, but you have to tell me what you were doing here. Don’t tell me you want to him as your father.”
Without Veronica twitching her eyes, she said with a straight face, “Of course not. I have nothing to do with him anymore. It was just that sometimes I have to think about my grandma. He was the only son who said that he wanted to meet her. As a result, you can see, he was obviously trying to woo me. Now, as long as the people who are close to me know about my relationship with you, it’s really a ghost that I don’t want to climb to the top.”
In the end, she did complain a little.
Veronica Parker didn’t expect Nick Cage to show up when she came to the banquet hall, otherwise, she would have figured out the reason to deal with it early.
Fortunately, she thought of this when she was taken out of the ballroom by Nick Cage.
So now when asked, she really didn’t panic for him not to find any loopholes.
“Was that all?”
“That’s all it is to you, but to me, grandma is the most important person.” Veronica Parker said.
“If you take someone like him, you’re not afraid of your grandmother’s displeasure? Huh?” Nick Cage clasped his fingers on her chin.
