Chapter 459 Unexpected

From afar, Veronica just sneered at Sarah and Tom's situation. She couldn't hear anything, but she knew from Tom's face that he's been carrying a quite heavy baggage that Sarah is completely oblivious of.

Tom had no idea that the landlady was the culprit behind the dilemma he was facing in their business. Otherwise, he would not have considered going through the lengths and began a relationship with her. If he ever got caught cheating, this would definitely mess up Sarah. Moreover, the consequences won't just stop there. It would affect everything that he had been holding together.

Tom has always been a good husband and father. Wrecking this relationship would cause a severe downfall, which he didn't want to come around. Running a company meant having to risk a lot of things as well. You don't just look at one side, but you must also look at hundreds of corners and angles before deciding. That was the reason why everyone adored and idolized Tom so much.

But once Sarah finds out about everything, the repercussions would be uncontrollable.

As their embrace loosened up, the satisfaction on Sarah's face was seen so bright. Her smile and her faith on Tom were obvious from the way she stared back at his eyes. She sighed deeply as the two walked away.

As Veronica's eyes wandered away, she saw Clare replacing her from her seat. "What are you going to do?" Veronica silently said to herself.

Clare gracefully and calmly spoke to Nick. "Mr. Cage, I know that you are the person in charge of the KING Group, and everyone is in awe of you. But even so, my appearance is not so bad that you would have to ignore my words, right? This is very unfair to me."

Tom and Sarah heard Clare as they were walking by their table. They couldn't help but interrupt and grab the opportunity to stop Clare from saying something worse.

"What is this?" Sarah exclaimed as she cut their conversation.

Tom hurriedly came forward and said, "Mr. Cage, I'm sorry, my daughter can be too forward sometimes, and she invades other people's spaces too much without even noticing. I hope you could excuse her actions."

Veronica started to walk towards the bread station, drawing herself closer to the situation as she listened carefully, watching it immediately turn into flames.

Nick looked directly at Clare Parker's indifference and thoughtlessness, which made people chill from the bottom of their bones.

"My name is Clare Parker. It's nice to meet you Mr. Cage.", Clare said as she ignored her parents' remarks.

"Your head is way above the clouds to think I would be considering you." Nick coldly replied as he stared back at Clare with fury in his eyes. For him, it's disrespectful for someone to approach him without feeling a bit of shame or humility. He didn't want to waste his time dealing with the nonsense people like Claire is proudly holding.

Clare stood there like a corpse. She froze as she was left speechless from the situation. Hearing Nick Cage say these words onto her made her heart sink. She never expected him to treat her this way. She was desperate and appalled by Nick from the way she acted. But Clare thought that her actions would make her impossible to ignore. For a man who is as powerful as Nick Cage, it would seem as if he searches for those who can be bold and confident. However, it wasn't what he was looking for at all.

But as Clare observed, she noticed Nick's eyes floating around her. He seemed unattended and unaware of Clare's persistence to be seen and heard. "Don't block my view", he interrupted Clare. She abruptly shut herself in confusion. Following his glances, she turned around and saw Veronica standing in his view by the bread station.

He glued his stare towards Veronica. He seemed furious, but he wanted her. "Ms. Veronica, come here.", Nick said with a heavy tone as he called her.

Veronica was taken back by Nick's angry voice, but she had to quickly walk over to join them. .

"Are you ready to go?" He asked.

Veronica was shocked as she couldn't' believe that Nick was inviting her to leave. She remembered her previous act of rudeness that she displayed in front of him. This alone would've given her a bad reputation to him. But now, it seems like things have turned around. Veronica put her plate down and nodded.

Nick got up and left as Veronica followed him away. She kept her eyes on him as she ignored the stares her family placed on them.

Claire squinted and crossed her arms as she mumbled in envy.
