The Handsome CEO Is My Husband
Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Chapter 94

Evelyn welcomed the break to think about what she was going to do with Veronica. Why was Veronica speaking about her father so much all of a sudden when she didn’t ask about him much in the past? Did someone reach out to her?

Evelyn stood up to get Veronica a drink. This was bad timing since she wanted to be focused on getting Beth out of the home and doing something to make Henry invest his money in something else to give them money. Now she had to worry about Veronica successfully meeting with her father.

Nothing was going to happen to Veronica if she saw her father but what about Evelyn?

Evelyn feared what would happen to herself for all the mistakes she made over the years concerning Veronica. What would he think or do if he knew how Veronica was here?

Evelyn looked back at Veronica still sitting down. She was unaware of everything that happened before they came here and she had to be still clueless about the present since Evelyn was certain Veronica did not have her memories anymore. It was only confusing because Veronica had the right answers sometimes.

’I need to find out before she leaves,’ Evelyn planned.

The sound of the phone in the apartment ringing annoyed Evelyn but then she worried about it being something concerning Henry or Beth. Neither one should come home now while Veronica is still here.

Evelyn hurried to the phone.

Veronica watched her mother run around the apartment to answer the phone. She was curious about what distraction Jerome came up with since he told her not to worry about it. Whatever it was, it made her mother angry since she was yelling at the person on the phone about a car and suing whoever damaged it.

’What did Jerome do?’ Veronica wondered. She was almost tempted to go down with her mother to see it but she had something important to do here.

"Those idiots damaged my car. I- Veronica," Evelyn remembered her guest. "I can’t deal with this now. Help yourself to anything from the fridge and wait here. I won’t be long if I don’t have to take the clothes off of someone by suing them. I just got that car recently."

It was one thing after the other to make Henry upset with her.

Veronica didn’t get the chance to respond to her mother since Evelyn was quick to storm out the door. She waited a moment in case her mother would turn back for something and then stood up when it seemed clear.

Veronica headed straight to where her mother pointed out Beth’s room was and lucky for her, the door wasn’t locked. Of course, it wasn’t since Beth would never think she would come here.

She opened the door and frowned. Why did anyone need so many pictures of themself in one room? Then there were all the shopping bags not thrown out. It was easy to tell that Beth had been spoiled.

Veronica ignored the state of Beth’s room and began her search for the phone. She knew what she was looking for thanks to Liam showing her a picture of the model and pointing out that there was a scratch at the back from where she dropped it but didn’t want to replace it.

Veronica went to the desk to search around for the phone and when it wasn’t there, she started to pull open the drawers. Veronica couldn’t believe her eyes when she opened the first drawer and found a black phone. She turned it around and saw the scratch Liam described.

"Is she stupid?" Veronica wondered. If not her, someone else could have come in here and seen this phone. They wouldn’t know whose phone it was but still.

Beth was too careless leaving the phone around. It was good for Veronica but it hurt to think that someone as stupid as Beth could have been the one to almost kill her.

"What does that say about me?" Veronica muttered.

Veronica started to turn on the phone as she closed the drawer and exited the room before her mother returned. Having the phone didn’t mean they would know exactly what happened and Beth wasn’t going to speak just because they had it but it at least confirmed that Beth was involved somehow.

Veronica returned to take her seat just as the phone came on and showed a picture of her and Liam. She was relieved to confirm that the phone was back in her hands where it belonged and she could hopefully see what she had been up to before her accident.

Veronica dropped the phone in the bag she brought with her and waited for her mother’s return. The question remained on why Beth decided to keep the phone instead of tossing it somewhere. She couldn’t be unaware that Liam suspected everyone here of being involved so why?

Veronica was ready to go now that she had what she wanted but she still wanted to continue her conversation about her father. If she offered Evelyn money, would a name at least be provided? Or the truth about how dangerous he was? If he did love her?

It was obvious that Evelyn did fear her ex-husband but did she fear him more than she wanted money?

Nearly fifteen minutes later, Evelyn returned muttering curses under her breath about a car. She found Veronica in the same spot but she didn’t trust that Veronica hadn’t gotten up to move around. It didn’t matter how secretive Veronica was since there was a camera Evelyn placed in the home to watch what Henry did when she wasn’t around.

Veronica shouldn’t think her mother was stupid. She was smart enough to find herself in this position right beside Henry.

"Is everything alright?" Veronica asked, pretending to be concerned.

"It will be after the idiot who hit my car pays for it. I’ll have to listen to Henry telling me about how careless I am even though the car was parked. I can’t deal with Henry getting another reason to be angry with me. Today is not going well," Evelyn said, looking to Veronica who might be the source of her current bad luck. "If this is your way of getting back at me for how I treated you then it’s working."

"I would get back at you by ruining your car? That would be the last plan I would come up with," Veronica replied.

It was the truth since it was Jerome’s idea.

"Maybe. I am curious what you came here looking for. You don’t trust me and I don’t trust you. Surely you know there’s a reason why I left you alone here. What are you looking for ?" Evelyn asked, smiling since she caught Veronica.
