Chapter 715
"Get someone to protect her in secret," Grayson instructed worriedly as he opened the bottle, poured the liquor out, and took a sip. "The chief of the hidden clan has already taken Tiffany Larson away. His purpose is obvious, and Veronica will be in grave danger. Her safety is a priority."
"Don't worry, Mr. Crayson. Leave it all to me."
"Hmm. One more thing. Keep a close eye on everyone that comes."
"Yes, sir." Destiny nodded in acknowledgment.
As Veronica descended the mountain in exasperation, her heart grew heavy when she looked at the breathtaking scenery of the hidden clan while Mateo followed right behind her.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and turned around. Her sharp, icy gaze instantly sent chills down his spine, and he hurriedly explained, "Hey, don't worry. I'm not going to stop you from doing anything. I'm just here to keep an eye on your safety."
"Do you have a cigarette?" she asked out of the blue.
"Sorry?"
"Cigarette."
"It's not so good for a girl like you to smoke, is it?"
"Why can't a woman take a drag when they're annoyed but a guy can? Quit yapping and give me one!"
At that, she walked to the boulder aside and leaned against it.
The gentle, refreshing morning breeze carried a whiff of floral scent with it as it traveled, soothing her nerves.
