Chapter 520 Your Mother Is Alive

Veronica Parker looked at him without remorse. "I've controlled it."

"You." Tom Parker was speechless.

"Besides, my slap wasn't just for me. It's for you, too."

"For me?"

"It's not easy to be a nuisance, isn't it? You were stared at by your wife like a criminal all the time, and you didn't even have a chance to catch your breath. You're either making trouble or she was just scolding you. I'm taking it out for you!"

Tom pushed his glasses when he was poked at the sore spot, and his eyes slid across the ferocious nature behind the lenses.

Veronica turned and looked at him. "Do you want to be pinned down by Sarah North for the rest of your life? Yes, with the future of the southwest, you don't need to look at anyone's face. But why do you want that piece of land, even if you threaten me to get it? You still want to extricate yourself from the grievances of the status quo. Dad, at the end of the day, we're family. Do you really think Elton Parker and Clare Parker will treat you like a real father? I can tell from an outsider that it's impossible! Just tell me what you want. Is the Nick Cage behind me not as powerful as Sarah? I know that at first, I refused to see you and hated you. But it's not easy to look at you now, and I'm more or less relieved. There is a forced side to everyone's life, which is understandable."

Tom looked sadly on his face and looked into the distance. "You're right. Sarah has a daughter after re-marriage. I'm just a lowly son-in-law who is greedy for money in the eyes of others, and I've been ridiculed by a lot of cold eyes. Only I know how much I have paid in order to gain the trust of the North family. So, after seeing you, I want you to help me. You rejected me, so I can only find Isabella. Veronica, Isabella's death was an accident. I regret what I did. I would never have done anything like that if I knew she was going to die. I really like her."

Veronica resisted her dislike and said, "If I didn't understand you, I wouldn't say this from the bottom of my heart. Nick and I will definitely help you. Don't you think you can have a foothold in capital without me?"

"I know that. You must have helped."

"When the company infiltrates into the capital, you don't have to persuade Sarah everywhere. I really feel sorry for you. You don't look like Sarah's husband, much less like a family. It's more like you're counting on someone else."

When Tom was told of it like this, it was not embarrassing to say, "Let me show you my joke."

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm trying to help you."

"Veronica, I know your heart is still partial to Dad. As you said, we are the real father and daughter."

When Veronica had almost finished speaking, he turned to the topic she really wanted to ask, "Since I'm helping you, shouldn't you help me, too?"

"What? You said Dad would definitely help you."

"Who is my real mother?" Veronica looked straight at him with fierce eyes.

Tom didn't expect her to ask this and said, "Actually, your mother is alive, but she went abroad with a rich man after giving birth to you. That's why I vented my hatred for her on you in the first place. Now as I'm thinking about it, if it wasn't for her betrayal, how could I do that to you? How unacceptable it is for a man to be humiliated by his wife."

Veronica asked excitedly, "Do you have a picture of her? I want to check her out and ask her why she abandoned me and didn't give me a phone call!"

"Veronica, I'm sorry. I was so heartbroken that I burned all her things, including the pictures. You'd better not ask, as a woman like that is not worth the effort." Tom said.
