Chapter 493 Send a better wine

"What do you mean?" Veronica asked her father back, not wanting to address his question.

"Just..." Tom paused as he saw a red mark on Veronica's neck just above her collar. He could easily tell from a glance how she got the mark and since Veronica came from Nick's room, he must have done something to her.

"What?" Veronica grew impatient as his father sized her up.

"Nick didn't look for me?"

"Can't you see? I took out the wine." Veronica stated as a matter of fact.

"Why?" Tom asked.

"He refused to drink. This wine must be too cheap for someone like him. He seemed to only drink wines he has in his room."

"I know that you must be disappointed but I have to tell you that Nick's connivance to me depends entirely on his mood. We have to be patient." Veronica explained to Tom who has a disheartened look on his face.

"Don't be frustrated. We still have hope. He was not just in a good mood." She added

"He didn't reveal anything?" Tom immediately kindled his fighting spirit.

"He said he would not let me down so rest assured that we won't have to wait for too long."

"That would be great!" Tom exclaimed

Veronica gave her the wine that she brought to Nick a while ago.

"Next time that you send him a wine, make sure it's a better one. I can take care of the rest."

"All right, I'll make sure of that."

Veronica said nothing and immediately got out of the room.

She bumped into someone on her way out and the familiar scent of cologne hit her nostrils.

Veronica hissed in pain and clutched her arms. She glared at the person. It was none other than Saxon. "Are you blind or something?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hit you?"

"What do you think? Do you think that I will bump myself to you on purpose?" Veronica said in agitation.

"What's going on here?" Tom hurriedly came over.

"This person just bumped into me and didn't even dare to say sorry. Who's this person anyway?" Veronica could not help to raise her voice.

"He was an employee of our company in Z city head office. They transferred him here."

"So, you were just a clerk! Where did you get the nerve to be so rude to me? Are you going to be as disrespectful as the servants in the Villa?" She could no longer contain her anger.

Sarah and the others were now looking at the commotion that Veronica caused.

Tom was beyond worried that if the news about Veronica being treated badly would get to Nick, he might become enraged and the consequence of it would definitely be unimaginable.

He hurried to appease her. "He's an insignificant person, dear. He's not worthy of your time."

"But this insignificant person is rather condescending as if I am inferior to him. That should not be tolerated. Care to tell me who ordered you?"

Saxon didn't say a single word but he looked at her indignantly. He realized that the people in front of him were more difficult to deal with than Sarah North's family. Before he met Tom's daughter, he already heard a lot about her in the room so he thought that she would be nicer.

But upon the incident, he realized that they were all the same. They were all vulgar and inconsiderate.

"Nobody ordered me. I stopped over analysing the situation." Saxon explained himself in a peaceful tone.
