Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 1181

"Let's go over there. It's spacious there."

Eleanor uttered those words while pointing to a wide area not far away.

This time, she didn't ask for Hendrey's permission at all. The passive Hendrey could only accept it.

While everyone got up and walked toward that area, Matthew remained seated.

As Veronica waited for everyone to walk past, she walked up to Matthew and gave his shoulder a pat from behind. "Let's go over and take a look. Be careful not to reveal our plan accidentally."

The man put his wine glass on the table discontentedly and glanced at Veronica. "Have you thought about the punishment tonight?"

Veronica's mouth twitched as she forced a smile. "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I accept any punishment?"

"You didn't do anything wrong? It must be my fault, then."

He got up and walked away without looking back.

"Uh… Hey..."

Veronica found his jealousy both funny and annoying. However, she could only let him be angry since she couldn't coax him in front of so many people.

When she walked over, Eleanor and Hendrey were already in position. Unexpectedly, Zac and Liam were interested. "Come on, let's make a bet."

"I bet on Hendrey," Zac said.

"I must support my elder sister," Liam added.

"Eleanor," Xavier mentioned.

"I think Hendrey will win for sure." That was Antheena.

Tiffany joined in. "Hendrey."

"Eleanor," Dominik chipped in.

Troy uttered, "I support my boss' choice."

Veronica hesitated. "I will bet on… Eleanor, I guess."

So, everyone's gaze fell on Matthew.

Matthew said calmly, "I don't have any money."

Where would a mere cook get money from?

Veronica didn't say anything.

He is really getting into character.

"If you don't have money, forget it. Four votes for Hendrey Johnson and four votes for Eleanor Ledger. That's pretty fair. You can start." Liam laughed. "Come on, take out your money and place your bets. Let's get started."

Eleanor stood in front of Hendrey, clasping her hands together and bowing deeply, "Mr. Johnson, please don't hold back."

"Just until the limit," Hendrey said.

"Take your positions, begin!" The moment Liam shouted those words, the two started their fight.

Eleanor clenched her fist and threw a left hook directly at Hendrey, but he caught it with his bare hands and easily defused the attack. She used her momentum to perform a front flip and kicked Hendrey.

Her speed was extremely fast, completely beyond Hendrey's expectations, and he took the kick head-on.

"Princess Eleanor sure can fight."

Hendrey became more cautious and focused when he saw Eleanor's skill. When he made his move again, he was even more alert.

Two servants brought a table and placed it in front of them. Zac and Liam placed their money on the table as they quietly watched the fight.

Liam then muttered, "I'm so thirsty. I'm going to get some water."

He got up and went to the bonfire to get some water to drink.

Eleanor and Hendrey engaged in a heated and intense fight, exchanging blows that hit home. The scene was spectacular, and the onlookers couldn't help but cheer from time to time.

Veronica felt her head getting heavier. She glanced at Matthew and found that he was standing far away, seemingly still angry, so she didn't bother to deal with him.

With so many people around, it would be easy to expose their identities if they exchanged glances.

She turned around and walked back to the bonfire, sitting in her seat, propping her forehead on her hand. "This alcohol really packs a punch."

Veronica said to Liam, who was drinking. She was amazed by his alcohol tolerance.

As for herself, her head was getting heavier, and she even felt a bit hot.

Liam wanted to find water to drink. However, as there was only alcohol on the table, he could only quench his thirst with alcohol. Little did he know that the more he drank, the hotter he felt, and his mind became dizzy. His gaze toward Veronica started to carry a hint of a different kind of intention.
