Chapter 195 A Decent Bargain

Just a moment after she closed her eyes, she felt a tight wrist. Veronica Parker felt a tight grasp at her wrist, not long after she closed her eyes.

She opened her eyes with fear, right before she could protest, a steady and strong force dragged her over

Nick dragged her over to him, which made her sat on his lap. Their face was almost bumping at each other, making it difficult for her to breath. When Veronica reacted, Nick's subconscious was about to retreat, but as soon as he felt tight around his waist, there is no way to retreat.

"What do you think, you're doing? I've been working all day, and I am very tired." Before Veronica could even finish her words, Nick managed to swift her, which made her head, resting on him. She could see his cold and stiff jaw, just above her.

Her chin was squeezed by Nick's hand, and his thick fingers rubbed heavily against her. For others, this might seem ordinary. But for Veronica, it was a dangerous move, and she was like lying on the chopping board, waiting for her time to be chopped into pieces. "I am very satisfied with your answer. You made the right choice. Only by knowing how to choose can make you live longer. I hope you mean it, from the bottom of your heart." Nick told her faintly.

"Of course, I mean it." Veronica quickly replied.

"That's good."

No wonder why people get so intimidated by him. Aside from his status, Nick, let alone his eagle eyes are so black, that it seemed to devour everything.

Her eyes trembled and she purposely turned them one side.

If she would look at him for much longer, he could see possibly through her, and intercept her thoughts.

This is indeed a terrible and dangerous man!

Veronica noticed the scratches on his face, and he was running around like this. Does everyone in the King Group, have already seen it? When she remembered that picture, she felt that she could not bear to look at it directly. Not until she entered the community, Veronica was messy. She felt relieved when the Rolls-Royce was already out of her sight. l

Just then, she thought about it again. Of course, she didn't mean what she said to him. If the Cage family's company would be acquired by Nick, not only her six innocent children but especially Chloe Bowen would cause big trouble. Even before she promised Chloe to fulfill her simple favor for her, she knew that Chloe was making her way through her children.

Her mother already knew that she would not accept anything from her, so she extended her efforts to her six children, instead. Isabella informed her that Chloe did not only asked John Cage to bring delicious food to their school, but also bought a total of eighteen sets of clothes, shoes, and toys, and all famous brands. three sets of for each her child, which Veronica did not dare to look at. For Veronica, her children don't need any of these. All that she wanted was for them to wear warm clothes and eat healthy foods. "Don't buy anything for the kids," Veronica called Chloe, while she was on her way to work. "What's wrong with that? They are my grandchildren after all, can't I be nice to them?" Chloe replied calmly, "You don't have to worry about it, my dear."

"I promise to help you figure this out, but you mustn't buy them anything again." Veronica firmly said.

"Do you really promise to help me?" Chloe's voice was full of rejoicing.

"However, I have one condition."

"What is it? Tell me."

"if Cage family's company is not acquired in the end, don't contact me again in the future." "If Nick Cage does not succeed in acquiring the Cage family's company, don't contact me ever again."

Chloe was shocked but she was able to answer, "Veronica, I'm your real mother, isn't it cruel that we still don't get in touch with each other in the capital?" "We already have lived on our own. Let's just go back to how it was before as if we had never met."

"Don't you need your mother? It would be hard for me to see you, and pretend that I don't know you."

"Don't contact me. That's the best thing that you could do for me." Veronica was determined to cut ties with her mother.

However, Chloe was persistent. "I can't do that. I know, I've owed you for so many years. I think about you every day, even if I didn't have the chance to contact or visit you. Please, just take it as a pity for me, okay? I promise I won't make any trouble again.
