My CEO Daddy Chapter 454

Chapter 453 Pros and Cons

"In Z City." Veronica told Tom. She noticed a flash of guilt on his face and she simply decided to not say anything more.

"You've been to Z City? What were you doing there, exactly?" Tom retorted.

Veronica looked at Tom again and began to fiddle with her fingers. Tom had also begun to hide his nervousness by adjusting his glasses. "I'll be upset if you ask so many questions." Veronica told him

"Why are going to be upset? I'm just asking about the situation, Veronica. How did you meet your father in Z City?" Tom asked as he furrowed his eyebrows

"I traveled." Veronica said as she looked away. "I met him unexpectedly and it was a random encounter."

Tom breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing Veronica didn't tell the truth.

"Why didn't you bring her home for dinner?" Sarah said as she glared at Tom for being unhospitable.

"Veronica was still with a child at that time, so it was inconvenient." Tom told Sarah. "when I used to go to the capital for business purposes, I often had dinner with Veronica anyway."

Sarah simply just nodded and left after her meal.

"Shall I take you to the TV station?" Tom urged Veronica.

Veronica looked at the distant traffic and muttered. "Your daughter and son are older than me. I don't really understand when you had them."

"They're not mine."

Veronica couldn't help but look at him.

"My wife was divorced with two children. If I really loved her, I will naturally treat her children as if they're my own. In the end, you're my only flesh and blood. "

Veronica was suddenly disgusted by Tom's words. He treated her like garbage after all this time. She wanted to ask if that's how he treats his flesh and blood, but she decided to back down.

It was unnecessary, after all. It didn't matter to Veronica anymore.

"I know what the meal is for today." Veronica said, not bothering to show any kind of expression on her face. "I can see that you have someone outside waiting for you. I actually thought you got divorced again."

Tom laughed, "It's all just a game for me. We're not that serious."

"I think it's better not to have anything to do with other women in order to avoid complications." Veronica simply looked at him and pursed her lips. "Otherwise, it won't do any good for your career."

"You don't have to worry about that. I just need some money."

"What do you say about the shares?"

"I have to go back and discuss it." Tom sighed.

"Then come back to me when you have a deal. I can assure you that if you give me the shares and let Nick see your sincerity, and it'll be much easier for me to mention the southwest. " Veronica said as she planned for him.

"Come on, I'll take you to the TV station. You can tell me about it on the way."

Veronica looked at the car parked in front of her and didn't bother to refuse. She then opened the door and hopped on the car.

Veronica was silent when Tom was driving on the road and she simply looked out the window.

Tom adjusted his glasses and took a glance at Veronica. "When are you going to have dinner with Nick?"

"What's it to you? Once the shares are given to me, it's only a matter of time before we meet. Rest assured that I don't really want your shares. Besides, you can just make a new contract and limit the time for the transfer of shares. " Veronica told him, feeling dignified

"Nick can just casually make people jealous, despite the difference of industries." Tom said. "Even his ability to have children makes me jealous!"

Veronica rolled her eyes and stayed quiet the whole ride.

After work, Veronica bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the cemetery to see Isabella. She also saw that the previous flowers she put on the tombstone have already withered and She replaced it with fresh ones.

Looking at the familiar face on the photo next to the tombstone, Veronica started to cry, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Isabella, don't worry. I will definitely avenge you."

Veronica then left the cemetery and went back. In the back of her mind, she knew that Tom's demands would eventually come true.

Although Tom and Sarah are reluctant to put their shares in the hands of others, they should also know how to weigh the pros and cons.
