What Matthew cared about was that once Flavian found out about Veronica's identity, he would either use her or take action against her.
Matthew could keep the children under the radar because they were young. However, she was an adult and couldn't be hidden away from the world, especially after he suffered serious loss because of the hidden clan.
It almost depleted his liquid assets. The remaining asset was the market value of the listed company, which couldn't be cashed out in the short term.
Even if he could cash it out, a large amount of cashing out would cause a company shock. That would attract external attention and create a negative impact that was equivalent to exposing his own weakness to the public.
Therefore, when the current situation was not looking good, the first thing he needed to do was to protect Veronica and their children.
The two went upstairs together. Matthew went to the study to handle work, whereas Veronica went to freshen up and then lay on the bed to read the script.
The days had been comfortable and pleasant recently. She relished in the inexplicable sense of tranquility.
The script was a historical drama called 'The General's Lonely Daughter' that told a story of a famous general, Cedric Sterling, who was slandered by a treacherous minister, and his whole family was executed. A servant escaped with the young lady, who later returned to the capital for revenge.
His daughter was originally named Seraphina Sterling, but she changed her name to Liora Sterling in order to seek revenge for her father. The character played by Veronica was Aveline Lockwood, the personal bodyguard.
Aveline's mother worked for Cedric and owed him a favor. Her mother asked her to protect the Seraphina as a way of repaying the favor.
"The script is not bad. The characters are good too."
Veronica looked at the script and sighed. "But what if I mess up?"
She lay on the bed, thinking left and right, and decided to call Larry. "Hey, Crazy, are you asleep?"
"What's up, fierce one?" he greeted casually.
