Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777 Expose

“The bodyguard Crayson assigned to you is quite skilled. The people around you are all talented and powerful,” Xavier said with a sigh. Initially, he was unaware of Veronica’s identity, but he was not surprised at all after learning about it because her temperament and aura had always been so distinctive. That was what caught his eye in the first place.

“It’s not like I asked for it.” Veronica withdrew her gaze and sighed faintly. She wanted an ordinary and simple life, but it seemed that fate had other plans.

She looked up at the sky and gazed at the shining stars. The frogs were croaking gently as though they were singing under the moonlight. For a moment, it seemed as if she had gone back to the summer of her childhood, where she would rest her head on Daniella’s knees, and Daniella would fan her with a bushel fan. Back then, she would lie on her back as she looked up at the sky and count the stars.

“I can help you if you want to leave,” Xavier inched closer to her, lowered his voice, and whispered.

He was a man of his word, and she never doubted him. The problem was that the nicer he was to her, the more regretful she felt.

It was especially so when Matthew was still alive and standing not far away from them. What would happen if Xavier knew the truth? She couldn’t even imagine how furious he would be.

“Antheena is a nice woman. Don’t break her heart.” Veronica changed the subject and turned around. “Let’s go. We’ve left for too long, and they might start gossiping about us if we don’t return soon.”

She walked straight to Matthew. Although it was dark, she could sense his intense glare, making her feel awkward.

The three returned to the bonfire and took their seats. The crowd drank and chatted about everything, but no one mentioned anything about the succession of the clan.

Therefore, the atmosphere remained cordial and harmonious. It also helped that everyone gradually relaxed the more they drank.

All of a sudden, Liam rose to his feet, walked to Veronica with a glass of wine, and waved his hand at Matthew, signaling him to stand aside. However, Matthew ignored him and continued to drink with his head down.
