Chapter 291 Framed
Josh ran after Julie in the distance without feeling any discomfort.
Veronica thought that she had enough. "I'll leave later. No one is unluckier than me. After all, the more you don't want to see it, the more It'll show up in front of you. "
Isabella knew that the person she was talking about was Tom Parker and she sighed, "Yeah, I can't believe I met him. he really looked like a dog. The landlord looked good, but I didn't expect to actually meet him. "
"The landlord isn't the rich woman who went to see my grandmother." Veronica said.
Although they've been separated for so many years, the two women looked different so they could be distinguished.
"Are you sure about that? The landlord called him her husband, you know?" Isabella told Veronica.
"Maybe he got divorced again! It's not really unusual for a man like him to get divorced multiple times." Veronica said in an audible whisper.
However, there was still a big gap between the image of her father.
Tom Parker used to wear very rural, undesirable clothes. Now the suit he wears is straight and moves very much like a successful person. It seemed that life for him had taken a turn for the better.
Veronica looked up and saw that he didn't play for long. He then went back with the six children who hadn't finished yet.
When they got back, Veronica and Isabella began to pack their things.
There was nothing to clean up. They just took the money and the children; the rest of the things could be bought, and they could always buy it next time they get the chance.
Peter only ran to the living room. He didn't know that he stepped on the remote control that fell on the ground. That turned on the TV and the children were curious as to why the TV turned on so suddenly.
The TV switched to the local news and the children decided to watch it.
"At about seven o'clock in the evening, a private car was picking up passengers at the nearby bus stop. On the way to Z City, the passengers on board were suddenly missing. The suspect, who was known to be Mr. Webb, was temporarily detained."
Veronica, who packed already packed her backpack, was shocked by what she heard. When she looked back and saw Mr. Webb's face on TV, she immediately knew who he was.
"Isn't that the driver?" Isabella said as her eyes widened.
Veronica was silent and she froze.
To other people, it may have seemed like an ordinary crime. However, Isabella and Veronica were well aware that the case was not normal.
They immediately knew that Nick was pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Although it was to be expected, they didn't know that Nick would do this to the poor driver. He blamed all the things on Mr. Webb so that Veronica could see.
Before Veronica regained her thoughts, the local news was immediately switched to a celebrity interview.
Nick could be seen during the interview, his aura emanating through the TV screen. Although he looked threatening, he didn't look angry at all.
The moment that Veronica saw Nick through the screen, her heart sank. For a second, she thought that it was all over and that there was nowhere to hide anymore.
Daniel's little finger pointed excitedly, "Cage!"
"I know him!" Peter, Julie and Cathy said in unison.
"I don't really remember him..." Josh told the others and was embarrassed.
Lily raised her hands. "Josh, that's Nick Cage!"
Veronica thought it was a normal interview at first. But after the host asked a question about financial trends, the topic changed.
"Mr. Cage, apart from your business, is there a person who has a place in your heart?" Lisa, who was the host, asked Nick while plastering a smile on her face.
"Yes." Nick simply said.
"Can you tell me who she is? She must be a very special woman."
"She's the kind of woman who doesn't know whether to live or die."
As soon as Nick said that, he suddenly faced the camera, showing a mischievous smile in the process. It was at this moment that Veronica felt raw fear welling up deep inside her.
