“Is that what I’m trying to hide? No! Mom won’t let me talk about it. It’s not like you don’t know that she loves him! I want to give him another chance for our mother. What can you do?”
Elton looked at the man who had been beaten beyond recognition on the ground, and he was getting angrier and angrier. He couldn’t really beat him to death!
“Besides, there’s this woman, Veronica! With Nick behind her, you don’t really want the North family’s foundation to be destroyed, do you?” Clare was rational. “Even if you have to deal with them, you have to wait until you are sure.”
Elton frowned at her. “Can’t you handle the lecherous Nick?”
Clare’s face changed slightly. “How do you know he’s lecherous? And what do you take me for?”
“That’s not what I meant. Why are you so fussy? If Nick is not lecherous, what does he like about Veronica?”
Clare didn’t bother to argue with him about this topic. The woman in her brother’s eyes was either a face or a figure. When she was about to turn around and leave, she stopped and asked a question she longed to ask and was curious, “What do you think? Who looks good more, was it me or Veronica? Who is more attractive?”
“Do you really have to ask it? Of course, it’s Veronica!” with his reply, Clare didn’t dare to speak again and went ahead.
Tom was finally taken to the hospital, with 11 broken ribs. It was one more than Sarah! He couldn’t take care of himself in the hospital alone.
North family’s brothers and sisters didn’t want to go see him nor Veronica Parker showed up. She was busy babysitting the six children.
Tom’s inner anger was burning like a raging fire! He wanted to kill everyone in the North family! How dare they let him be so humiliated like this! When he became rich, the first one to perish was the North family!
He just couldn’t understand why there was a monitor in his study. Was the monitor still there? Who put it there? When did someone install it? He couldn’t believe he didn’t know anything about it! What was the purpose? That person couldn’t have known in advance that he was playing Sarah. If the monitor had been installed a long time ago, would it mean that that person had seen all his activities in the study? Who could that be? Anyone in the North family who could enter his study must’ve been able to come and go freely! The servant dared not because there were only a few of them!
Clare and Elton were impossible to be the culprits. If they did, then they would’ve known from the beginning that Sarah was beaten by him!
Was it Sarah, then? After all, the woman was so suspicious about him having a love affair with another woman. Especially after his affair with the landlady, she often secretly checked his cell phone at night. He just pretended to sleep, but he knew it clearly but didn’t expose her. So, if she suspected he was doing anything in the study, why didn’t she just install a camera from then on? No, if Sarah installed the monitoring, she would know when he was watching the flash drive unless she was really the one who installed the camera later that day.
Another thing that made him wonder was why Veronica still stayed in the villa. She couldn’t be so obedient. She must be looking for a chance to find the flash drive. And put a camera in his study? Would she? They were all eating at the table. She was there when Elton got the video. After all, Tom had no evidence and he was just relying on his guess, and he couldn’t reveal the loss of the USB flash drive!
But between Sarah and Veronica, the one he wanted to dike more was Veronica. At four or five o’clock, Tom called Veronica and she answered him when she picked up the phone with, “I’m busy.”
“You seemed calm when I was beaten? Was it because it’s not unexpected?”
“If I had been really calm, I wouldn’t have run away that morning,” Veronica said. “But I’ve been busy all day today without asking you why you called Sarah?”
“Her mouth was broken because I hit her on the spur of the moment.” Tom knew there was no need to hide because anyway, everyone already knew!
“You really impressed me. I was beaten by you when I was a child, and now you still haven’t got rid of it!” Veronica said coldly. “Is it because you can’t find a way to solve the problem, or do you feel uncomfortable if you don’t hit people? I don’t understand. Why is Grandma so nice and you have such a bad temper?”
Tom pushed his glasses. “Maybe it has something to do with her natural character. Besides, when you were young, I didn’t hit you on purpose. I had a drink and it was because of Chloe.”
Veronica really doesn’t want to discuss it with such a person and there were all other kinds of reasons!
“Nothing will happen if this conversation continues, so goodbye!”
“Veronica, aren’t you coming to see Dad?”
“You have your own son and a daughter. Is it my turn to go? I don’t want to see them nor you again!” Veronica didn’t give Tom any chance to refute and already hung up the phone.
Tom was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone, but he had to bear it! If he smashed his cell phone, what else could he get in touch with? They all worked against him one by one! Don’t worry, he would make everyone regret it!
Veronica lost the mood to work, mainly because the time had reached this point again. Would Nick call her and ask her again to go to Winter Villa? She didn’t seem to have any legitimate reason to refuse! It was like going out to sea. Now that Nick had arranged it, it must be this week when they would go to the sea! She didn’t really want to go and had thought of all kinds of reasons to refuse!
When it came to going to work, the whole TV station was owned by KING Group, which was superfluous. If she said she wasn’t feeling well, he didn’t have to think about and she was sure Nick would take her to Tracy Dora!
If she wanted to run away and hide in another country? Even more futile! Nick knew well the countryside. It was convenient for helicopters to come and go. It was no use for her to escape anywhere.
After knowing the true intention of Nick, she didn’t want to have more contact with him that had nothing to do with their children. Because the six children needed him, she had to accept it anyway! With a negative idea, no matter whether the child escaped from the capital, it was also a pipe dream!
How could Nick let her go if he didn’t play with her enough?
Veronica stared at the phone for three seconds before picking it up to read the message. It was from Nick Cage and there were two words on it: The parking lot.
Veronica then called Lucy from the inside. She came into the office and asked, “What can I do for you, Miss Parker?”
“Is there a group of triplets who said that they only have time in the evening?”
“Yes, it seems that the triplets have other interests to cultivate.”
“Call them and ask if they are free this evening.”
“As in, now?”
“Well, it’s just an interview anyway so it probably won’t take long.”
“Okay.” Lucy went out to make a phone call.
Veronica just texted back to Nick: “Children’s Words 3” is going to be recorded soon. Recently, I am quite busy, so I can’t come with you to Winter Villa these coming two days!
There was no movement after it was sent out.
It wasn’t long before Nick arrived to finalize the interview for the triplets. Standing inside the office, the long figure made the space in the office cramped!
Veronica said, “Didn’t you say you were busy?”
Nick sat down on the sofa, cocked his legs, and said, “What else are you busy with?”
“I am going to interview the triplets.”
Nick looked up at the time. “It shouldn’t take long so I’ll wait.”
