…
"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.
