Veronica Parker pulled away a little bit from Nick Cage and tried to put away his big hand on her shoulder. Feeling detached, she turned her stare away from his eyes.
Soon, she carried her backpack and rushed out of the room. But she forgot to take the elevator and ran on the promenade.
It seemed that if she kept running like this, her messy brain didn’t have to rest.
As she was on her way, Bob came up, looked at her, and asked, “Miss Parker?” She was stunned for a moment when Bob called her.
But Veronica just kept running down the stairs as if she didn’t hear it.
However, at the last step, her feet were unstable and she fell to the ground.
Bob was so frightened that he could only say, “Miss Parker!”
Not wanting to go down and see what would happen next, Veronica hurriedly got up and continued to run, disappearing into the distance.
Bob could only think about what was going on as he looked into the distant room. He wondered if Mr. Cage and Ms. Parker fought.
He went to the door of the six little boys’ room to check, but there was no sound inside. So he went in and asked, “Mr. Cage?”
When he got to the bathroom door, he saw that Mr. Cage’s hands were dripping with blood. His voice was frightened as he exclaimed, “Mr. Cage, you’re bleeding!”
“Don’t be a nuisance!”
“But your hand needs to be treated.”
“Get out!”
As he heard that, Bob glanced nervously at Nick’s bloody hand. He knew he had to turn around and leave the room.
In front of Nick, the bathroom mirror was broken. He punched it with his fist. Because the force was too strong, the glass shattered into a hundred variety of shapes, and the wounds on his fist were hideous.
Nick thought that Veronica was really getting more out of hand as she was always challenging his patience.
Nick thought, ‘What good is it to her to provoke me? Marriage? Love? I don’t need that! I don’t! Can’t she understand?’
The truth was, he wouldn’t give it to her for the rest of his life. He couldn’t give it to her.
Meanwhile, Leo was absorbed in driving. But he still occasionally glanced at the person sitting behind him in the rearview mirror.
Although she didn’t cry or make any noise, she seemed out of shape.
And it was like something big had happened.
As he drove, Veronica looked out of the window without any expression in her eyes.
She wondered, ‘What kind of mood is Nick in now? It’s supposed to be anger, right?’
She singled out Nick’s weakness to make him angry at her.
And she had done it twice in a short time.
But she didn’t know if she was provoking Nick Cage, or if she was only torturing herself.
Because she was not happy at all.
Soon, tears began to fall from her eyes and there was despair on her face.
Now, even the children could not save her. Back at Winter Villa, she initially thought that seeing the children would be her saving grace. She thought that if she spent some time with the children, this could help heal her mind and forget all the pain. She honestly tried all night but to no avail.
She was so scared because she didn’t know what was wrong with her.
Suddenly, the car braked sharply at the gate of the neighborhood.
Veronica saw an angry and haggard Eden Cage outside the window.
Her heart pricked with pain. Because it was Eden who separated her and Toby Cage.
Leo was about to speak when he heard Veronica say, “You drive the car in first. I have to talk to him about something.”
Leo replied to her, “What? That won’t be good for you, will it?” Then Leo looked out of the car and looked at Eden who was kicking the door like a psychopath.
Veronica curtly replied, “Never mind.” And with that, she pushed the door of the car and got off.
She closed the door and looked indifferently at Eden who rushed in front of her angrily. He looked like he wanted to fight.
Eden who was in disbelief told her, “Bitch, how dare you get out of the car?”
Veronica looked at Leo who was sticking his head out of the window and told him, “I’m really worried, so just drive a little further.”
Leo knew that if he drove the car inside, he could see the situation outside.
Eden shouted at Veronica, “Do you think I can’t beat your driver? Who do you think you are? You’re just relying on Nick Cage to bully others.”
When Veronica looked at him, she was extremely sad. But her heart was calm when she told him, “Why does Toby have a father like you?”
When Eden Cage heard her wrong, he asked angrily, “What did you say?”
“If it hadn’t been for your strong opposition, I would have been with him all the time. We could have gotten married after graduation, had children, and have been doing the job I love. We could have also settled abroad. If we were with each other, we could have been happy. Then Toby Cage wouldn’t have hated you so much, and you wouldn’t be where you are today!”
“You! You killed my son! How dare you lecture me? Just who the hell do you think you are?” The more Eden thought about it, the angrier he pointed at Veronica Parker’s nose. He continued to scold her, “Just like your mother, you like to seduce men, sleep with men, and then throw them after you’re done with them!”
But because Veronica knew who he was referring to, she told him, “That’s why you got hooked up with Chloe Bowen, right?”
Eden didn’t expect that Veronica’s words would make him think so much, so he immediately denied it. He replied, “You’re talking nonsense! Be careful of what you say or I’ll hit you!”
“Do you really think it’s nonsense? Ah, by the way, I also know one thing that even you didn’t know.”
“What?”
“Although Toby was dead and you have lost your son, you don’t need to worry. Because you have another son.”
Eden looked at her with a look of incomprehension.
So Veronica asked him, “Haven’t you been in cahoots with Chloe Bowen for a long time? Haven’t you noticed that John Cage looks like Toby?”
Initially, Veronica thought that John Cage was more like Nick Cage because it was preconceived. But as it turned out, it was John Cage and Toby Cage who looked more alike.
Eden’s brain was knotted and he couldn’t speak.
Veronica continued to ask, “John Cage is your son, don’t you know?”
“It— It’s impossible.”
Veronica coldly replied, “If you don’t believe it, you can ask Chloe Bowen yourself. She knows best.” And with that, Veronica turned around and went outside the neighborhood.
Eden was left standing there for a long time. He didn’t make any movement.
The truth was, he had been waiting for Veronica here for many days. He had been waiting for her every day in order to ask for money.
Unexpectedly, he was shocked by what Veronica had told him just now. They didn’t even mention about money.
He was confused as he thought about it, ‘John Cage. Is he really my son? Isn’t he Kevin Cage’s son? Why would he be his son?’
When Eden came back to his senses, he hurriedly took out his cell phone and called Chloe. As soon as his call got through, he hurriedly asked her, “Is John Cage, my son?”
Not long after getting up, Chloe who was enjoying the servant’s massage was surprised by Eden’s question.
The servant behind was still there, but she couldn’t understand what Eden was saying.
She moved her body and pushed the servant away.
So, Chloe pretended to sound natural and asked him, “Is it because your son was dead that you started talking nonsense?”
“Is it my son or not?”
Chloe was angry when she replied to him, ” No! Do you really need to ask me that? I know whose son John Cage is!”
Luckily Kevin Cage was not at home and he went to the office. Otherwise, she would have panicked even more.
“Then I have to do a paternity test!”
“What?” Chloe couldn’t believe what Eden had just said.
“If you don’t have anything to hide, then let me and John do a paternity test!”
“Why would I allow you to do such a thing? He is not your son so you don’t have to do a paternity test. What do you think other people will think about it if anyone finds out about your crazy idea?”
“I don’t care! The paternity test must be done! I am now suspecting that John is my son!”
Chloe replied, “What makes you think that? Why don’t you go to Veronica’s sextuplets for a paternity test? Are you crazy?” She was so angry that she could not keep her mouth shut.
But Eden insisted, “You weren’t pregnant when we had sex. You were married with a child. There is a very high possibility that John is my son!”
