Chapter 686 Threat

Veronica, who returned to the room, smashed her shoulder bag directly on the bed. She almost exhausted her strength so she put her hands on the edge of the bed. She was out of breath.

Elton's words humiliated her because of the truth of the recording! However, she could only pretend that nothing had happened in the eyes of others, and only she knew the pain!

She couldn't handle Nick. Could she even handle a single Elton Parker?

He was proud, wasn't he? She would make he would feel bad!

At 02:00 in the morning, Veronica left the room and went quietly to Tom's study. She looked behind, to her left and right. She didn't notice any movement in the study. After all, she thought it was so late that Tom was probably still sleeping! But, when she pushed the door open and saw that Tom was in the dim light inside, her whole body froze! Tom, who was smoking inside, was also stupefied and asked her, "Why are you up so late?"

Veronica quickly adjusted her mood. "I'm thirsty. I want to have some water but I saw the light here, so I came to have a look. Why aren't you still sleeping?"

"I can't sleep."

Veronica remained standing in the doorway and didn't move. Now what? She couldn't open the monitor because Tom couldn't sleep!

"I've already scolded him, Veronica so don't worry about it. It was mainly because of his mother's appearance. He's in a bad mood." Tom explained.

"Did you argue with him? Is that why you can't sleep?"

"Yes!" Tom pushed his glasses.

Veronica knew he was lying! Tom would never compromise his sleep just because she was humiliated by Elton!

"I didn't even take it seriously. What do you want to do about it? It's nothing. I'll be heading first now." Veronica said and turned her back.

But Tom stopped her when she was about to close the door and asked, "What did Nick Cage say, Veronica? Did you go back and ask him?"

Veronica, with her hand still on the doorknob, paused to look back at Tom's insatiable face and said, "He said he could only give you half."

"Half? Veronica, I want everything! Nick would give you whatever you want, if not, I would upload the video on the Internet! You know, I'm running out of patience now!"

"aren't you a little too ambitious? Half of it is already a lot! And you will be the first person who can be on an equal footing with Nick with that!" Veronica went aggressive.

"This is not in line with what we talked about."

Veronica pushed the door open and the door slammed against the wall. It was very clear in the stillness of the night.

She rushed to his desk and confronted Tom, "You know, greedy people often come to a bad end!"

"You know that no matter how much is it, it is not enough!"

Veronica glared at Tom, she turned cold and furious!

"In this way, I'll only give you one day. Or else I'll post the video online. Of course, it's just a mosaic. Three days later, there will be no mosaics!" Tom really threatened her.

"Having a father like you, I've really been unlucky for the rest of my life!" With that, Veronica turned her back and left. The door was left wide open, and Tom could still see Veronica's angry back.

She went back to her room and closed the door. She lost herself in her thoughts. Tom's words were full of explorations, but Veronica couldn't guarantee that there were no other copies that Tom possessed. But what did the appearance of Tom looking for a flash drive represent when he was in the hospital? If there was another backup, why did he need to be so urgent?
