Book:My CEO Daddy Published:2024-8-10

Veronica Parker knew what he was thinking that’s why she felt embarrassed.
Were you ruthless? Toby Cage’s injury was self-inflicted.
Besides, it’s not just because she felt guilty, she really didn’t want Toby Cage to make any mistakes. He is very important to her and like a family to her.
When we were together, Veronica Parker always thought that Grandma sent Toby Cage to her.
Toby Cage’s hand patted the edge of the bed gently, “Here.” Veronica Parker looked silently at the movement of his hands indifferently. “Just tell me what you want to say.”
“I’m afraid you can’t hear me.”
Veronica Parker moved the stool she’s sitting on to the edge of the bed. “Go ahead.”
Toby Cage looked at her obliviously. “Uncomfortable? I still want you to be closer to me. ”
“What are you thinking about?” Veronica Parker looked at him speechless. “What exactly are you going to say to me?”
Toby Cage smiled weakly, “Do you know about Elton Parker’s sudden death?”
“That’s what your driver said. I can’t believe he was dead! Too many bad things happened already.”
“Do you really think he died by accident?”
Veronica Parker looked at him in a daze, “What do you mean? ”
“It was nothing. I just thought it was incredible.”
Veronica Parker listened to Toby Cage’s “Incredible” and her heart moved slightly which happened to be the same as she thought.
“It is difficult. You think someone killed Elton Parker??”
Toby Cage sighed and looked at the window, “I don’t know. I just thought he died too easily.”
In fact, Veronica Parker initially thought that Elton Parker died suddenly. When Toby Cage said that she also found something strange.
If someone killed Elton Parker, who would it be?
Tom Parker?
Veronica Parker flashed her past memories, the ruthless and dangerous man and immediately denied it in her heart.
It can’t be him! Why would he kill Elton Parker?? There’s no need at all, is it?
Because Elton Parker was going to shoot her?
She thought it was impossible for Nick Cage to did such a fatal move that he would done it for her.
Even if the woman who teased him and challenged his capability, he would not have killed someone.
“What’s the matter?” Toby Cage asked.
Veronica Parker shooked her head. “Oh, it’s nothing. Maybe it was an accidental death and there’s no one to pursue. If someone was killed, the police will find out. It’s not something we should worry about.”
Toby Cage’s mind was a little heavy, you were at the party, shouldn’t you be worrying about it? Frankly, I have people who will do it but was there a way to protect him?
Does Nick Cage special to her? No, it should not be, he’s just the father of their six children, that’s all.
If something happened to Nick Cage, it won’t be good for the children.
Veronica Parker knows a girl who was concerned about the overall situation.
“Toby Cage, when you were with me that I fully not aware of, did you set me up? ” Veronica Parker asked suddenly.
Toby Cage looked at her calmly. “There was one.”
Veronica Parker sat up straight and looked at him subconsciously.
“I found a relationship secretly when you went
abroad as an exchanged student.”
“What did you say?” Veronica Parker was startled. “Wasn’t it because of my excellent grades and character that I was chosen?”
“Under such circumstances, how can a prominent competition came to person like you who had no well-known family background?”
Veronica Parker’s head was buzzing.
She never thought that there was such a relationship.
I can go abroad because of Toby Cage
But she didn’t even know Toby Cage at that time.
She met Toby Cage overseas.
“So, it was all your arrangement? Arranged a meeting with you? And to became my boyfriend? ”
“At that time, your grandmother died and you were grieving that I couldn’t gave up easily so I thought of that way to made stay away from that place. Fortunately, I succeeded.” Toby Cage did not deny what he had done.
Veronica Parker was stunned.
Toby Cage didn’t reveal a word when they were in love.
“I didn’t want to tell it but I don’t want to deceive you. As long as you will ask me, I will tell you the truth no matter what it was.” Toby Cage’s pale face did not affect at all the warmth of her eyes.
Veronica Parker wanted to ask some questions such as why she went to the dessert shop, why she was dragged to the men’s room, why Elton Parker was in the men’s room.
There’s no need to ask now.
Toby Cage did a few tricks on purpose but he won’t do such a thing.
Toby Cage’s confession left her speechless as if she was the one who were head over heels to a villain.
“How sure were you that I had fell for you and became your girlfriend?”
“I’m handsome!”
“Please!” Veronica Parker disdained.
In fact, Toby Cage is really handsome, tall and serious type but also gentle.
“You were a fool at that time that I didn’t even know you were sold.” Toby Cage smiled.
Veronica Parker looked at him, paused and asked, “Will you sell me?”
“No.”
“Not now?”
“Well, never. How can I give up?” Toby Cage said. “I hope you will always be happy. It was my fault.”
“Why are you talking about this? It was over.” Veronica Parker was reluctant to talk about the past.
Toby Cage’s eyes were gray then he closed his eyes, frowned and turned a little pale.
“What’s the matter?” She asked hurriedly and stood up.
“It’s all right.”
“Does your wound hurting again?” Veronica Parker asked.
“Help me see if it’s bleeding.” Toby Cage said.
“I’ll call the doctor!”
“Tell the doctor it is bleeding.”
Veronica Parker had to pull the clothes on her shoulder. There was no blood. The neckline was opened, looked at the thick gauze wrapped inside Veronica Parker was afraid.
If it hadn’t been for Toby Cage’s fate and if the bullet had missed there had been a big problem.
Toby Cage looked at Veronica Parker while she was in a trance.
Veronica Parker was above him, her long hair was hanging down and was falling on her collarbone and was scratching so much that she wanted to raise his hand to touch her hair. He remembered how it felt, it was soft.
Promptly, the door was open with a bang without warning.
Veronica Parker was so frightened that she forgot to regained herself when she saw the man who suddenly came in front of her eyes looked like a mad man.
She even forgot to retrieved her hand that pulled Toby Cage’s collar.
Few seconds later with a clenched hand, Veronica Parker was dragged over and crashed into Nick Cage’s sturdy arms.
“Well.” Veronica Parker felt the tension of Nick Cage’s body as if he were storing severe strength.
She raised her face looked at Nick Cage’s warning and shady black eyes and made her body wobbled.
Veronica Parker just went out of the TV station, didn’t tell anyone but was targeted by Nick Cage.
Toby Cage leaned half of his head against the bed and watched the scene coldly.
Veronica Parker thought Nick Cage did something terrible to her or Toby Cage as soon as he came in.
