Chapter 56 Dark Striped Suit And Sexy Figure
"If someone asks me that, I won't care or won't even bother to answer them. But you are my own daughter, why do you ask the same thing? Kevin's ex-wife killed herself with depression. I met Kevin after his ex-wife died. Those people are envious and jealous of me, accused me as a third party. Who knows the pain in my heart?"
Veronica Parker thought. 'Is that so? Then I can't blame my mother.'
She is well aware of the knock-on effect of gossip. She experienced it personally and knew how very stressful it is.
"Even without me, there would be other women. At that time, Kevin was in his prime of life, so was it possible that he would not take a wife? It's just that I was unlucky enough to hit it at gunpoint." Chloe sighed helplessly.
"It's just gossip, so don't take it seriously."
Her mother looked at her. Fixed the strands of hair in her ear, and said with relief. "There are people I care about who love me, and those gossips are nothing."
Veronica Parker did not speak, and her mother must have been humiliated behind the glamorous marriage of the Cage family.
"Here, try on this dress." Chloe took her hand.
Veronica Parker entered the fitting room. She wore a company's female staff in the standard uniform skirt coupled with a white shirt. However, the moment she came out of the fitting room, people couldn't look away.
Chloe Bowen came forward in surprise. "My daughter is beautiful." She giddily said as she praised her daughter.
The shopping assistant also agreed. "Yes!" This dress looks so beautiful, it fits perfectly to you and made you look like a fairy coming down to earth."
Chloe Bowen looked at the shopping assistant with a disgruntled face. "Can you not talk? You mean the clothes look better than my daughter?"
The assistant said hurriedly. "Sorry, that's not what I meant."
"If you open your eyes and tell lies, how do you became a shopping guide?" Chloe questioned.
Veronica was very embarrassed and hurriedly said. "How about this one?"
"Do you like it?" Chloe smiled again when she faced his daughter.
"Mm-hmm." Veronica hummed in response. She just wanted their shopping spree to be over and buy whatever her mother likes so she can go home.
"Then try a few more."
Veronica was speechless.
After they bought the dress and jewelry, they finally finished buying all the dresses they wanted two hours later.
Veronica admired Chloe's shopping skills. She used to go shopping, but not as good as she is.
Her mother wanted to see her off when they finished, but Veronica insisted on going back by herself.
Chloe couldn't beat her persistence, so she had to flag a taxi and let her go back.
Veronica looked at the big bags stuffed in the back seat. Her head was a little bit in a trance.
She didn't expect that Chloe would buy so much for her.
It's all expensive things that she can't afford.
'Do I have to dress up like this if I'll just go to Kevin's birthday party?'
Chloe Bowen also said that she'll pick her up and ask her where she lives, but Veronica was afraid to say it to her.
Once her mother knows where she lives, won't her children be exposed?
At that time, she didn't fill in her address on the company's resume, just in case everything gets rough, she won't leave any trace.
After all, the children are the secret of her heart that doesn't want anyone to know.
Fortunately, she didn't fill in her address. What she didn't expect the most is Veronica never thought that Nick was the person in charge of the KING Group and would be her immediate boss.
The next day, the most luxurious hotel in the capital was contracted to hold a birthday party for Kevin Cage.
From the outside, you can see the lively scene of people in suits, clothes, and adorned with fancy dresses in the hall across the glass.
Veronica Parker got off the taxi just before 07:00. With a light shoulder-length dress and casually loose hair, she looks simple but beautiful. Veronica looks ethereal like a bright and dazzling gemstone under the night sky.
Chloe, who came out of the door, saw her and waved to her.
Veronica walked towards her and Chloe Bowen said to her. "Why are you so late?"
How can Veronica say that she can't refuse the longing eyes of her six little kids who have been with her until now?
She found an excuse to work overtime and said she would be back soon.
"Come on, go in."
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, she felt a lot of eyes scrutinize them over.
Veronica Parker tried to relax.
All the way to Kevin Cage, she pasted a soft smile on her lips. "Happy birthday, uncle."
Kevin laughed and happily answered. "Thank you! I'm really glad to see you come."
Veronica just smiled and said nothing. She turned her eyes and saw Toby Cage not far away.
Dressed in a dark striped suit and a long sexy figure, he leaned against the bar and stared at her.
