I’m Someone Else
Chapter 372

Chapter 372

Thomas was worried about Veronica. He didn’t know what got to him, but he turned off the lights in thevilla. Then, he slipped into his car and followed Veronica.

He didn’t know the reason Veronica left Irieson’s University of Technology. However, he had bailed. Itwas clear that it was one of the reasons that led to Veronica’s resignation. If he wronged somebody bychoosing to enlist instead of furthering his studies at the university, that person would be Veronica.

After leaving the villa, she waved down a cab on the roadside. The car headed toward the countryside.

Thomas followed her to a dilapidated village. Compared to Irieson, which was a bustling city, the villageseemed out of place.

Even though Thomas wasn’t familiar with Irieson’s topography, he knew where he was heading. Whenhe was studying at Irieson First High, he rented a house in this area. The rental fee per month was verycheap,

It seems like she lives here. That’s understandable. After all, she is forced to work in a hotel. She can’tafford a better place.

However, one thing was troubling Thomas. Even though Terrence and Norman were dead, Declanwasn’t. Does he just watch his sister suffer without lending her help?

The cab stopped outside a double-story house. After paying the driver, Veronica got out of the car andpushed the door open. Then, she went upstairs.

Thomas lowered the window and lit a cigarette as he watched her ascend the stairs. He didn’t evenknow why he followed her. Is it because of guilt? Or am I worried about her?

The residents of Northpine Villa had limited access to public transportation. After all, people whoresided there were usually wealthy people. They would travel in their private vehicles instead of waiting

for a bus.

Veronica probably called a cab once she left, and she headed straight to her home. She’s safe.

When Thomas was replaceing a reasonable excuse for his behavior, he heard a shriek from the house.

“What are you doing, George? Get your hands off me!”

“Why should I? There’s nothing wrong with touching you! You’re my wife. How dare you run away fromthe house? What are you up to? Be honest with me. Are you seeing another man?”

“You’re nuts!” Angry tears blurred Veronica’s vision. “I’m not the same as you! I’m a decent person.What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to stay in your mistress’ bed?’”

He snorted. “Isn’t it obvious? I miss you. Come on. Let’s go inside. It’s been a while since I felt yourbody.”

The fact that Veronica ran away from him didn’t sit well with George. She’s gorgeous. Even though shewas thirty-three, she looked far younger than that as if she was in her early twenties. The women outthere were no match for her. I’m making a big mistake in letting her go.

Therefore, George asked his men to look for her around Irieson. After finally learning her whereabouts,he waited for her at her place.

“You shameless man! Don’t touch me!” She was shaking uncontrollably. He didn’t cherish her companywhen she was by his side. Instead, he cheated on her. Now that she left him, George felt a void in himand remembered her. However, he didn’t even bother to ask her about her well-being after such a longtime. He only wanted to coax her into bed, so he came to see her. I can’t believe him!

Fury blinded her mind. She raised an arm and slapped him.

The slap was resounding.

George was shocked by the slap. He was married to her for years, and he had always been the onewho asserted dominance in their relationship. How dare she fight back?

“How dare you hit me, you b*tch?” George’s eyes widened in anger. If looks could kill, Veronica wouldbe dead right now.

“You… You’re a sc*mbag! Get out of my house! Stop following me, or I’ll call the police!”

Veronica could tell George was enraged. The thought caused her to shiver. The memories of him usingforce against her replayed in her mind like she was watching a movie. Therefore, she threatened to callthe police to stop him from making a further move.

“Call the police? Go ahead! Tell them! I’d like to see that. Do you think calling the police will work? I’mteaching my wife to behave. They have no right to meddle in our business.”

At that, he wrapped his hands around her slender neck. It had been a while since he last saw her, andhis body was aching for the action tonight. He planned to get her permission into her house and coaxedher into sleeping with him. However, she refused him. You leave me no choice. I’m going to f*ck youright here. Your neighbor will hear us. It’s humiliating, so you’ll have no choice but to go home with me!

After all, Veronica was his legal wife. The outsiders didn’t get a say in how he treated his wife.

“Let her go.” Before he could tighten his hands around her neck, a cold voice cut in.

George turned in the direction of the voice. A young man was watching him with a shadowedexpression.

“Who the hell are you to meddle in our business? Get lost, or else you’ll end up like her! F*ck! Are youdeaf—”

Something broke.

“Ah!”

Thomas had enough of George’s filthy words. Putting a hand on George’s shoulder, he slightly twistedit, resulting in George’s shoulder breaking.

George had to let go of Veronica due to the severe pain in his shoulder.

Veronica slipped out of his grip. She looked at George with a frightened expression.

Meanwhile, Thomas dragged George by the collar to his car. It was as if he were dragging a brokendoll.

After that, he smacked George across the back of his neck. George passed out right after that. Then,Thomas tossed George into the car’s trunk. Hitting the accelerator, Thomas left Veronica’s place withthe man in his trunk.

I made the right choice to follow her. Otherwise, he might have hurt her tonight.

“Hello, Thomas? When are you coming to pick me up?” Olivia already finished dinner at this point. Shewas watching TV next to Chloe in the living room. She kept checking on the time. It’s 9.00PM already.Why hasn’t he picked me up yet? Did he get caught up in work?

Putting a hand on the steering wheel, Thomas held his phone to his ear with his other hand. Olivia’ssweet voice reached him.

His mouth opened, but the words barely left him before he shut his mouth. He initially wanted to tellOlivia about Veronica’s problem. After all, Olivia once told him that she and Ophelie were close withVeronica.

He remembered the first time he visited the Pearsons. Ophelie recognized him, so she splashed himwith red wine.

In the end, he had second thoughts. I should help Veronica with her problem first. There’s no use tellingOlivia other than pressuring her. I can tell her once I deal with everything.
