Chapter 863 A Warning to Skyler
Veronica then stated solemnly, “Once you marry into a wealthy family, you will be trapped for life. Do you get what I’m saying?” “I do.”
Shirley appeared depressed as she muttered, “That’s why I said I’ll give it a shot.” “Fine. You can try it out since you like Skyler. Even if you fail, don’t be disappointed. You’d only be sorry if you didn’t even try.”
If one worked hard and put in effort for it, they would not regret giving it their all even if they failed in the end. “Thank you very much, Veronica.” Shirley’s good mood returned, and she smiled sweetly.
Meanwhile, Matthew shot a harsh gaze at Skyler downstairs. “Is it going to be a serious relationship this time?” Skyler continued to eat with a fork and he nodded while chewing. “Maybe.”
“Let’s ignore Roni and Shirley’s connection for the time being. Focus on Shirley first, shall we? She is a pure young lady. You should tread carefully.”
Shirley and Veronica were close after working together for more than a year. They were almost like sisters. Shirley was also a great assistance to Matthew.
As such, Matthew gave Shirley a car as well. Because of Veronica, Matthew interacted with Shirley frequently and he admired her forthright personality.
Maybe he was warming up to Shirley since Veronica liked her as well.
Meanwhile, Skyler and Matthew were very close friends. Thus, Matthew was familiar with him.
Matthew then stated, “Shirley is not like other ladies. Roni will not let me or you go if you bully her!”
There was no question about it.
“What exactly do you mean? Are you calling me a scumbag?”
Skyler was displeased and set down his utensils.
Matthew didn’t look at the other man as he reached for the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. “You are the most knowledgeable about what happened after Sofia abandoned you. That’s all I’ll say on this matter.”
He sipped his drink and changed the subject. “I’m here today to tell you about the hunting ceremony of the hidden clan.”
…
Half an hour later, Matthew and Veronica left One Piece Restaurant and drove to Zac’s house.
After he arrived at the hidden clan, Tanya arranged for Zac to live in an exceptional area due to his special status.
Many individuals were present as Zac was injured.
There were many cars parked in the parking lot after the two arrived at their location. The license plate numbers were quite familiar.
Veronica and Matthew exited the car and proceeded to the courtyard entrance. At the gate stood two rows of guards.
The soldiers came to a halt when they saw Veronica and Matthew walk over.
“Stop right there. Who are you?” The guard spoke in the hidden tongue.
Veronica couldn’t speak the local language despite having a translating device, so she could only look at Matthew.
Matthew introduced himself and his purpose to the guards.
The guard then waved them in and opened the door. “Okay. You may go in.”
A voice rang out from behind him at this precise moment.
“Good day, Master Iron.”
It was a recognizable voice; one didn’t have to turn their head to recognize the owner of it.
Eleanor was dressed in a long red gown. The cuffs and skirt were crocheted in blue and white with motifs embroidered.
She also wore silver jewelry and exquisite makeup, which perfectly complemented her snowy skin. Her exotic features were even more enticing and attractive against the red outfit.
Even Veronica couldn’t help but notice the seductive, hot, and demure beauty.
“You’re here as well, Veronica!” Eleanor approached Veronica and stood beside her while greeting her warmly.
“What a coincidence.”
Veronica smiled.
However, Matthew merely gave Eleanor a sidelong glance before entering the room with Veronica.
“Hey, Master Iron. What are you thinking? Why don’t you take a look at me? I was expecting you at the entrance.”
Eleanor was irritated because Matthew had ignored her.
