I’m Someone Else

Chapter 373

“Just wait a bit more, okay? I’m almost done here. Once I’m done, I’ll go pick you up.”

“Okay!” Hearing him say that, Olivia instantly got excited on the other end. “Drive slowly and be careful, then.”

“Uh-huh.” Thomas hung up the phone. After parking his car in a deserted place, he dragged George out of the trunk and threw him onto the ground.

George landed right on his shoulder, which the man had crushed. “Ouch!” With a cry of pain, he came around, grimacing.

“You’re George Horner?” asked Thomas icily. He had listened to the conversation between this man and Veronica earlier.

“You f*cking little punk! How dare you lay a hand on me, knowing that I’m George Horner? Who the f*ck are you?! Do you have a death wish?” swore George between clenched teeth. He would never have imagined that, with his current status, there would still be someone daring enough to treat him like this!

Thomas calmly took a drag of his cigarette. “You don’t need to know who I am at the moment, nor do you need to worry whether or not I have a death wish. All you need to do is tell me why you were coming after Veronica! Of course, you can choose not to tell me, but that comes with consequences. I will break every bone in your body one by one until you talk!”

George retorted, “What are you bragging about? Let me tell you this: I’m from the Tucker Family! You know the Tuckers? You’re dead meat, you little punk!” He brought up his strongest backer, the Tuckers. In his opinion, once he mentioned the Tucker Family of Irieson, Thomas would be scared into not daring to lay a finger on him anymore.

Unfortunately, he was mistaken. “The Tuckers, huh?” Thomas let out a snort of disdain. “There are so many of these nonsense two-bit families around nowadays!”

He had every right to say so. As the gathering place for powerful families in Droycore, Irieson had a multitude of wealthy and powerful families. However, the most powerful ones among them would be the former Six Greatest Families, which had commanded huge prestige for a time before being wiped out by him. Compared to them, the Tucker Family really was small fry to him. “Never mind if you’re from the Tucker Family. Even if you’re connected to God himself, you’re gonna have to pay the price!” Then, he grabbed George’s index finger and snapped it without hesitation.

Crack!

“Aaaah!” screamed George in pain. Just who on earth is this guy? I’ve already brought up the Tuckers, yet he still dares to hurt me?

“Are you going to talk or not?” This time, Thomas grasped George’s thumb. If the latter dared to refuse, he would immediately break it too!

“No! Please don’t hurt me! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” George dared not shoot his mouth off anymore. He blabbered about his family background and his relationship with the Tuckers, going into great detail, but he conveniently left out anything regarding him and Veronica. He was no idiot; the young man in front of him was clearly here to stick up for Veronica. He couldn’t afford to mention how he had wronged her, or whether or not he could survive would be put into question.

Thomas frowned. Needless to say, he knew that George was intentionally hiding something, but Olivia was still waiting for him to pick her up. He didn’t have time to waste with George here. So, he took out his phone and called his close buddy Sean.

“Hey, Thomas, what’s up?”

Thomas asked, “Sean, can you help me look into someone named George Horner? He’s a weakling attached to the Tucker Family. Also, can you find out his relationship with Veronica Pearson?”

“Sure, I’ll look into it right away,” Sean agreed and hung up the phone.

Thomas warned, “Don’t think that I won’t find out just because you’re not talking!” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

George’s heart trembled as he darted a glance at the man. Judging by the situation, could I have messed with some bigwig?

Over in the Morton Residence, John asked his grandson, “What does Thomas want?”

“Nothing. He asked me to look into someone named George Horner and also find out his relationship with Veronica Pearson.”

“Veronica Pearson?” John couldn’t help feeling that the name had a familiar ring to it; he seemed to have heard this name before. “Pearson, Pearson… Could she be one of the Pearsons? Yes, that’s right! Isn’t she the daughter of that b*stard Terrence Pearson? She’s Olivia Pearson’s aunt!” It finally dawned on him. No wonder the name sounds familiar to me. “Go ahead and look into it, then. Let me know once you’re done.”

“Yes, Grandpa!”

Half an hour later, a black-suited man came in and respectfully said to Sean, “Mr. Sean, here is the information you had me look into.”

Taking the documents, Sean dismissed the man and handed the documents directly to his grandfather.

John looked through the documents, growing more and more furious as he read them. “How dare this George Horner guy call himself a man?! He’s worse than an animal!” Not only did he fool around with

women out there, but he actually cheated Veronica out of her savings and her house! After that, he even became a violent husband, beating up his wife at the drop of a hat! I’ve never seen such a man before in my many years of life! “Go ahead and deliver this to Thomas.”

“Okay!” A puzzled Sean took the documents and left the residence. Along the way, he found a spare moment to flip through the documents and was also outraged by George’s misdeeds. This guy is simply a disgrace to all men!

Soon, he arrived at Thomas’ location. “Thomas, you’d better brace yourself for this.”

“Huh?” Thomas was taken aback. Isn’t it just some information I’m going to look at? Why do I need to brace myself for it? Without giving it much thought, he lit a cigarette and started reading the documents while smoking his cigarette.

Meanwhile, Sean walked over to George, who was lying on the ground. He recognized this guy as soon as he got out of his car. After all, the information he had received included a photo of this guy! “Congratulations, brat! You’re in luck,” he said sincerely. He knew Thomas’ character very well. If Thomas finds out about what this guy did, this guy will definitely be in deep trouble!

And sure enough, his guess was spot-on. Thomas threw the thick stack of documents to the ground with a loud thump. Then, he charged toward George, swearing, “You f*cking worthless piece of trash! You son of a b*tch!”

He swung his fists and unleashed a fierce beating on George. This man stole his wife’s savings and house and gave them to someone else to fawn on the rich and powerful. After getting himself a backer, he went fooling around with women! If all the money and assets had been given willingly by Veronica, he would’ve said nothing, as she and George were legally husband and wife and a family. However, the documents made it clear that Veronica’s wealth had either been cheated off or even seized directly by George! A man who dares to beat up his wife despite living off her? What a shameless guy he is!

George didn’t even have a chance to scream in pain before he was knocked unconscious by Thomas.

“Huff! Huff!” Thomas took a couple of deep breaths to calm the anger within him. George couldn’t die just yet, or else he wouldn’t mind killing him with his own hands right away!
