Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 1190

…

"I'm not sure what her intentions are, but she is quite the schemer. Just be careful."

Matthew didn't want to tell Veronica too much about what happened in the palace, so as not to worry her. "I'll take you back so that you can rest."

"Okay."

Veronica nodded wearily and leaned back in the car seat without saying a word.

Drinking the drugged wine had taken a toll on her body, even if she had taken the antidote afterward. Her body had been exhausted for a long time, and she felt tired.

As soon as they entered the courtyard back at the loft, someone suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Roni, how are you? Why are you back so late? What were you doing at night?" Mateo had been waiting for them all night and was extremely worried.

He pointed to the living room. "Grandpa is also worried about you. He has been waiting."

It was already 11:30 p.m. in the hidden clan's time, which was late.

"It's nothing. I had too much fun."

Veronica casually made up a reason and didn't want to talk about what happened tonight.

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Veronica say that she had a good time, Mateo had a hint of disappointment on his delicate face. He said with a lonely tone while glaring at Matthew, "Iron Pillar, give me back my money!"

"Money? What money?"

Matthew pretended to be confused.

"You promised to let me go today, but I didn't get to go. The agreement is void, so give me back my money!" Regardless of whether he needed the money or not, Mateo didn't want to let Iron Pillar off easily.

Just the thought of that false feeling of happiness today made him feel upset.

"I did my best, but Miss Veronica insisted on going. If you want your money back, go find her."

Matthew left a sentence and glanced at Veronica with a knowing look before entering the living room.

Veronica stood in place with her lips pursed. Even though she found it amusing, she didn't want to show it in front of Mateo.

"Cough... Anyway, I'm a bit tired, so I'll go back to sleep first. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

"Huh... Don't go… It's still early."

Mateo grabbed Veronica's sleeve. "Roni, let me treat you to a drink. Tell me what fun things you did today." He was curious.

"Little brat, get in here!"

At this moment, Crayson, who had been waiting for Veronica in the living room for a long time, shouted.

Helplessly, she shrugged at Mateo. "I'll go in first."

Ignoring his disappointed expression, she walked into the living room.

To her surprise, Crayson and Destiny were not only in the living room but also… Hayley.

How did she end up here?

Matthew stood by the couch with his head bowed, looking like a servant who had made a mistake and was being reprimanded.

Veronica couldn't help but think that it was a waste for Matthew for not being an actor, given his acting skills.

She walked over and merely glanced at Hayley with cold eyes without greeting her. She asked in an indifferent tone, "What is it? I'm tired. I want to sleep."

She had no intention of telling Crayson and the others about what happened today.

Crayson frowned, his beard trembling with anger. He glanced at Hayley and scolded Veronica, "You thoughtless child. Your mother came all the way here and waited for you all night."

"Oh."

She responded lightly with a hint of disdain in her unbothered attitude. "Is there something you need me for, Madam Hayley?"

She asked that question solemnly.

Her distant tone had already indicated her attitude.

Veronica was disgusted with what they had done.

Without her identity and the fear that they would threaten Matthew or the two children, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to come to the hidden clan.
