Veronica patiently left the study.
Veronica didn’t go out during the day. Instead, she watched the video of ‘Children’s Words Mowgli 2’ that was played on stage last night.
She silently thought to herself, ‘Look at what you look like when you host and find out your shortcomings.’
Now the main media was playing ‘Children’s Words Mowgli 2,’ and the amount of patronage was amazing.
The netizens were almost attracted by the children’s loveliness and the Children’s Words Mowgli, as they played countless hearts.
‘Oh, my God, how could it be so cute! My maiden heart!’
‘Was it a lie to have a baby?’
‘Could there be anyone who has such a lovely child without getting married?’
The weak asked, is there a group to steal children?
‘Was it illegal to steal children?’
…
When Veronica first became the host, her credibility was questioned by the people on the TV station because she was unknown.
But Veronica herself did not lose heart. She believed that the quality of the program had nothing to do with the fame of the host.
As long as the show itself was interesting.
The point was that she was taken to the show through a hot search.
Lisa, who previously hosted ‘Children’s words Mowgli 1,’ was also nominated. They were saying that if Lisa had not been reckoned by Bella, it would not have been Veronica’s turn.
Veronica was not taken aback by such sour words because it wasn’t true.
She believed Lisa would still do well in season 2.
Of course, people were picking up Veronica’s messages in the comments. It was nothing special when the comments were scanned.
She didn’t want them to find anything on her. What she wore in the early days were the accessories given by the sponsors.
She wondered, ‘If only Peter could see Mom on TV.’
Then she excitedly realized, ‘He would have a chance to see it! After all, if he watches cartoons on Winter Villa, he may see the program ‘Children’s Words Mowgli 2’.
She was hopeful about that.
Veronica put down her phone and froze slightly.
In fact, she would be in the villa. She was just waiting for a phone call.
Just as she was thinking, her cell phone rang.
Veronica glanced at the unknown number and answered, “Hello?”
“Miss Parker, we found what you asked for. But it doesn’t seem to be anything special so far.”
“Well, say it.”
“Saxon Raglan’s father, York Raglan and Tom Parker used to be friends. But when York was alive, he made a big bet and secretly gambled using the company’s money until he died in a car accident. After that, the heavily indebted company was acquired by Tom and did not go bankrupt. For the sake of an old friend, Saxon had been assigned to the North family’s company since he graduated from college. It was just not being reused. By the way, when York was alive, people close to Z city and who were married to the North family knew that Saxon was Clare Parker’s fiance. But later, the Raglan family declined and Clare didn’t like Saxon so the marriage was canceled.”
Veronica recalled the details of the day in the room at the bar.
Clare Parker and Saxon were the farthest away. Clare was ambitious. She liked Nick Cage, but it seemed that Saxon didn’t care much about Clare’s appearance.
Was Saxon really not interested in Clare, or was he hiding his feelings?
“After Saxon returned to Z city, the project he was in charge of had been replaced by someone else, and then he was almost like a diner in the company.”
Veronica was not surprised. It was probably a risk to put him in charge before. But once the risk was over, they had found someone else, and the benefits were not given to him.
In that way, it seemed deliberate.
‘Tom, where is the orphan who took care of an old friend? Did you try to kill Saxon?’
‘Would a shrewd man like Saxon not notice?’
Veronica knew very well how terrible gambling was. Once you get addicted to it, not to mention if the company was at stake, it was possible to take away life for it.
Then it dawned on her.
‘Gambling?’
Gambling.
Veronica asked immediately, “What’s the name of that gambling company?”
“Caesar’s Entertainment Club.”
Veronica frowned slightly, Caesar.
That night, Veronica sneaked into Tom’s study again and turned on the computer. In one of the file folders, a share dividend was hidden in the middle of the secret Mom data.
It was Caesar’s Entertainment Club that took a stake in the company!
Last night, when Veronica was looking for a video, she glanced at it and got a bit of an impression. That was why she asked.
It did matter.
Even if Tom had nothing to do with Caesar at the time, York Raglan’s company was heavily in debt because of gambling in this clubhouse. Therefore he should know how to avoid suspicion if he hated it.
But Tom was better as he bought shares directly. People had to wonder how much intrigue was involved in this big gamble!
Gambling, car accidents, acquisition of companies. If it wasn’t Tom, it would have been a ghost.
Veronica returned to her room quietly and glanced at the time. It was 02:15 AM.
She sent a text message and went to bed.
She stared at the curtains with her eyes wide open. She gently bit her fingers in her mouth.
When her cell phone rang, she looked at the caller ID and answered, “Hello?”
“Is it you?” Saxon’s voice was slightly heavy and unexpected.
She asked, “Was it an accident?” For him to be able to call so quickly showed that he was sensitive to the text message she sent to him.
“What does Miss Parker mean?”
“Nothing. I just sent you a text message.”
“Caesar’s Entertainment Club?”
She replied, “It must be the place where your father gambles, isn’t it?” Then she bluntly said, “My father didn’t tell me. I checked it out myself.”
Saxon paused for a moment and then hung up the phone.
Veronica smiled faintly and put the phone on the nightstand. She fell asleep.
The next day, Veronica, who was temporarily busy, left work on time. But she didn’t go back to Tom’s villa.
All she had to do was watch out for the study.
‘Tom and those shady things that he could only do in the study!’
Veronica came out of the elevator of the apartment and walked to the house.
As soon as she turned at the corner, a dark shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and a sharp blade with a cold glow was pressed against her chest.
Veronica’s face froze and she directly asked the purpose of the visitor, “Would you rob me of money?”
The man said, “What is your purpose? If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you! The moment I flick my finger, you won’t even get a chance to shout for help!”
Veronica recognized whose voice it was. She then said, “Mr. Raglan is a guest. So why don’t we go inside and talk?”
“Open the door.”
Veronica reached for the key, opened the door, and was pushed by Saxon inside.
“Close the door!”
It was dark inside so Veronica asked, “Do you mind if I turn on the light?”
When Saxon remained silent, she turned on the light.
With the bright light inside the house, Veronica saw a Saxon Raglan that looked similar to the one she saw that day.
It’s just that his eyes got sharper and more murderous.
Veronica turned around and said, “Please have a seat! I’ll get you a glass of water.”
She poured water into the glass, put it in front of Saxon, and sat down.
But Saxon was not interested in the water and stared at Veronica coldly.
Veronica wheezed, “I can’t believe you found this place. Isn’t it awesome? However, you did not come here to kill me, but to test me. Otherwise, there is no need for so much trouble. I’m not safe here, but you can’t come near me.”
“Nick Cage?”
“It seems that you know a lot about me.” Veronica slightly raised her eyebrows and said, “To make the long story short, I was personally checking on Caesar’s Entertainment Club. I’m afraid there’s something wrong with your father losing so much money. Mr. Raglan, you’ve been checking up on my father, right? It’s just that you could not find any evidence.”
Saxon’s eye color had changed as he looked at her incredulously. He realized that the person who looked clean and simple in front of him was very resourceful.
“What is your purpose?”
“It’s simple. I want us to work together to destroy Tom Parker’s company. You can get back what belongs to you. And I can get what I want.”
