Fast and salty, Clare Parker knew, so she asked, “Why am I fit to drink a warm drink?”
“If you drink a warm drink, you have to drink it slowly. It suits your gentle temperament. Isn’t it right?” Veronica Parker gave her the water cup. “Take it. I’m afraid my hands are unstable.”
Clare reached for the water cup and wondered what Veronica was thinking.
What she said was all good, so why was she pretending to be a good person?
The corner of Veronica’s mouth raised a few invisible radiance when the kettle flickered and the water poured into Clare’s hand–
“Ah!” Clare screamed from the heat. With a shake of her hand, the cup fell on the ground and broke from Clare’s hand. It was red on the back of her hand because it was mixed with salt, so it still had bursts of tingling.
If the water burned the skin at 100 degrees, wasn’t it sprinkling salt on the wound?
“Oh, I’m sorry. Is everything all right? It’s a good thing the water is not very hot, otherwise, it would be bad!” Veronica had an apologetic look on her face.
Clare glared at her. “Veronica, did you do it on purpose?”
“How can I? It was an accident!” Veronica said innocently.
“Is it all right to say something carelessly? Get on your knees!”
It was as if Veronica didn’t hear, “What? On my knees? Am I your lackey?”
Clare seemed to have two ice picks in her eyes, “Anyone there?!”
The servant came to Clare. Clare said to her, “Hit her in the face! She’s being so ill-bred, so I must teach her a good lesson!”
Veronica looked at her coldly, waiting for the servant to come and hit her in the face. The servant raised her hand and Veronica grasped the pot as if she had grasped the cold weapon and was about to smash it.
“What are you doing?” Tom came. “You rebelled, didn’t you? Get out of here!”
The servants were busy.
Clare, pale and haughty, asked, “Dad, are you trying to protect her? Is my hand burned in vain? In any case, I am her sister, so she has to know the difference between superiority and inferiority even if she bullies others.”
Tom saw a red burn on Clare’s hand and asked Veronica, “What’s going on?”
“I told you I didn’t mean to. I haven’t poured water for anyone. I’m sure my hands will be unstable.” Veronica explained.
“It was an accident, Clare, so forget it!”
Veronica watched Clare lift her dead fish eyes and said impatiently, “Where’s the wine? Bring it here. I’ll go to Winter Villa in the evening.”
Bringing the wine, Veronica then dragged away.
When she got to the door, her foot kicked over the trash can at the door.
Tom Parker had nothing to say.
Clare clenched her fist. “How much longer do I have to put up with it?”
“It won’t be long! The wine was given to Nick Cage by Veronica Parker, and she said Nick Cage would definitely say yes today.”
Clare sneered and looked at him. “Why don’t we make a bet? Do you think the development right in the southwest is just a piece of cake?”
Tom hesitated for a moment and said, “Even if he doesn’t feel like saying yes, he will still have to say yes.”
He had something to suppress Veronica! He didn’t have much patience!
Veronica went back to her apartment after work at the TV station.
Once back, she put the wine on the coffee table, sat cross-legged on the foam board, opened the wine, took out the bottle opener, and painstakingly got the cork out.
Her nose smelled it and it was pungent. She took a glass and poured the wine into it.
Her small mouth sipped into the wine glass–
“Ah.” The wine was so strong that Veronica stuck out her tongue.
The more expensive it was, the harder it was to swallow.
It was not as good as sparkling water!
Veronica poured the wine into the sink and had her glass take some tap water and poured it into the bottle.
While adding water to the wine, she shook her head sadly and spoiled it.
On the way back, Nick was sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce and was holding his cell phone, admiring the bad Veronica Parker.
After spoiling, the wine was packed intact and set aside.
She wouldn’t buy this kind of wine, and no one on the TV station would give it to her, so that was why she would get it from Tom Parker.
Nick Cage’s dark eyes were deep, as the wine was not for Veronica Parker, but for him.
At 08:00, Veronica rushed into the villa.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Parker and Clare Parker were sitting at the table outside, talking and laughing.
Veronica just went over angrily with the wine in her arms and slammed on the table. “What do you mean? If you want to hurt me, just say it!”
“What’s the matter?” Tom was surprised, “Didn’t you order this wine for Nick?”
“He drank it, and then he said it was fake wine!”
“Fake wine? Impossible! It took me a lot of effort to get it. How can it be fake wine?” Tom immediately denied it.
“Who did you get it from? What makes you think they’re not fooling you? Is it so easy to get such good wine?” Veronica questioned.
Tom couldn’t believe it. He poured some wine into the glass, drank it into his mouth, and tasted it.
“Is it fake?” Veronica asked.
“I can’t drink it.” Tom wondered, “Did Nick Cage really say that?”
“If you don’t believe me, take this wine and have it tested!”
When Tom got the wine and he was overjoyed. It was from someone who was a little cosmopolitan in the capital. Thinking about his relationship with Nick Cage in the eyes of outsiders, Tom took the initiative to look for ‘good wine’ from those people in order to give it to Nick. It took a lot of time!
How could he expect it to be fake!
“Then. What did Nick say?”
“What else can I say? Very angry! If it hadn’t been for my plea, do you think he would have let you stay in the capital?” Veronica was emotionally agitated and could not breathe steadily. “I don’t even know how you do things! With you holding me back, it’s no use no matter how good I am!”
With that, she turned away angrily, went into the living room, and went back to her room!
Tom was confused as he did not understand why the wine would be fake. If those people knew about his relationship with Nick Cage, would they dare to fool him with fake wine?
“Clare told me about it and thought your daughter would never be able to do it. Sure enough!” Sarah North said sarcastically.
Clare drank her tea silently and did not speak, as if everything was according to her expectations.
“I suspect your daughter is lying,” Sarah said.
“You’re saying that this wine is not fake?” Tom asked and immediately denied, “If the real wine she’s saying is a fake wine, such a lie is easy to expose.”
“Didn’t you give Veronica a driver just to monitor her every move? Why don’t you just ask the driver?” Sarah said.
Tom reacted, ‘Yes! That’s what he meant to equip Veronica with a car.’
It was impossible. He believed what Veronica said.
He got the driver over.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Parker?” Asked the driver.
“Did you pick up Veronica Parker after work in the evening? Where did you go? What have you done?” Tom asked.
“I picked her up. I went to the TV station after five o’clock.” The driver said.
“And then what?” Sarah asked.
“And then we went somewhere. Yes, it’s called Winter Villa.” The driver said. “After she went, I thought Miss Parker would live there, but at seven o’clock she came out angrily and wanted to go home. Did she fight with Mr. Cage? I didn’t ask. I just brought her back.”
Sarah and Clare didn’t realize that Veronica wasn’t lying. She really went to Winter Villa.
In other words, Veronica saying about the fake wine was also true.
Standing on the balcony, Veronica looked at the family of three and the driver below and knew what he was asking.
