Chapter 689 It Was Veronica Parker

"Is that what I'm trying to hide? No! Mom won't let me talk about it. It's not like you don't know that she loves him! I want to give him another chance for our mother. What can you do?"

Elton looked at the man who had been beaten beyond recognition on the ground, and he was getting angrier and angrier. He couldn't really beat him to death!

"Besides, there's this woman, Veronica! With Nick behind her, you don't really want the North family's foundation to be destroyed, do you?" Clare was rational. "Even if you have to deal with them, you have to wait until you are sure."

Elton frowned at her. "Can't you handle the lecherous Nick?"

Clare's face changed slightly. "How do you know he's lecherous? And what do you take me for?"

"That's not what I meant. Why are you so fussy? If Nick is not lecherous, what does he like about Veronica?"

Clare didn't bother to argue with him about this topic. The woman in her brother's eyes was either a face or a figure. When she was about to turn around and leave, she stopped and asked a question she longed to ask and was curious, "What do you think? Who looks good more, was it me or Veronica? Who is more attractive?"

"Do you really have to ask it? Of course, it's Veronica!" with his reply, Clare didn't dare to speak again and went ahead.

Tom was finally taken to the hospital, with 11 broken ribs. It was one more than Sarah! He couldn't take care of himself in the hospital alone.

North family's brothers and sisters didn't want to go see him nor Veronica Parker showed up. She was busy babysitting the six children.

Tom's inner anger was burning like a raging fire! He wanted to kill everyone in the North family! How dare they let him be so humiliated like this! When he became rich, the first one to perish was the North family!

He just couldn't understand why there was a monitor in his study. Was the monitor still there? Who put it there? When did someone install it? He couldn't believe he didn't know anything about it! What was the purpose? That person couldn't have known in advance that he was playing Sarah. If the monitor had been installed a long time ago, would it mean that that person had seen all his activities in the study? Who could that be? Anyone in the North family who could enter his study must've been able to come and go freely! The servant dared not because there were only a few of them!

Clare and Elton were impossible to be the culprits. If they did, then they would've known from the beginning that Sarah was beaten by him!

Was it Sarah, then? After all, the woman was so suspicious about him having a love affair with another woman. Especially after his affair with the landlady, she often secretly checked his cell phone at night. He just pretended to sleep, but he knew it clearly but didn't expose her. So, if she suspected he was doing anything in the study, why didn't she just install a camera from then on? No, if Sarah installed the monitoring, she would know when he was watching the flash drive unless she was really the one who installed the camera later that day.

Another thing that made him wonder was why Veronica still stayed in the villa. She couldn't be so obedient. She must be looking for a chance to find the flash drive. And put a camera in his study? Would she? They were all eating at the table. She was there when Elton got the video. After all, Tom had no evidence and he was just relying on his guess, and he couldn't reveal the loss of the USB flash drive!

But between Sarah and Veronica, the one he wanted to dike more was Veronica. At four or five o'clock, Tom called Veronica and she answered him when she picked up the phone with, "I'm busy."

"You seemed calm when I was beaten? Was it because it's not unexpected?"

"If I had been really calm, I wouldn't have run away that morning," Veronica said. "But I've been busy all day today without asking you why you called Sarah?"
