    Chapter 619 Keeping Veronica Safe


    There was another uncle of Matthew’s on Conrad’s table, who toasted with the couple andnded his


    gaze onto Conrad.


    While the couple was holding the sses in their hands, Matthew piped up, “Uncle Conrad, thanks for


    carving the time to attend our wedding.”


    In spite of the undercurrent between them, they appeared serene on the outside. Conrad rose to his feet


    to clink his wine ss with theirs and a forceful smile appeared on his handsome face. “Congrattions.


    Wishing you a long and happy marriage.”


    “Thank you, Uncle Conrad,” responded Veronica as the dark glint in his eyes went unnoticed. How could


    his light smile remain when his gaze turned sinister? They spoke of totally different emotions and no one


    could see through him.


    After he downed his drink, he patted Matthew’s shoulder. “Once the guests leave, the both of you gotta


    clean up the ‘mess’.”


    The so-called mess was a warning to Matthew. It was as if Conrad was trying to say, “If the two of you try


    to leave right now, it’ll be a war.”


    Matthew raised his eyebrow and smiled nonchntly. “That is for sure. It’s our wedding. It’s natural for us


    to be thest ones to leave.”

    “d to hear that,” replied Conrad before he seated himself.


    In the meantime, his ominous gaze swept across Veronica and she happened to notice his expression.


    Still, she merely smiled at him and shrugged it off.


    The next table was full of Matthew’s friends. Aside from his close friends, there were some that Veronica


    did not know of.


    …


    The guests began to disperse after 2.00PM. Matthew asked someone to drive Elizabeth home, but she


    kept holding Veronica’s hand tightly with a bright smile. “Roni, you’ve finally married Matthew. My wish is


    finally granted.”


    Matthew had given Veronica a hefty amount of dowry, yet Elizabeth was not satisfied with it. However,


    she let it go when she thought of her identity in the Murphy Family. She was the only daughter in that


    family, hence everything would be bestowed to her in the end.


    “Grandma, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you this happy.” Veronica gave her a hug. “Mrs. Coleman


    will take you home. It must’ve been a hectic day for you.”


    “Alright, alright.” The grinning old woman nodded vigorously before leaving the hotel with Yura.


    The newly wed couple walked to the door to watch Elizabeth enter the car and leave. Finally, their hearts


    sank down from their throats.


    Skyler came to them and the ever-breezy man was wearing a solemn face. “Will she be in danger?”


    “Conrad doesn’t have the guts to hurt her,” reassured Matthew, who looked across in a distance while


    sping onto Veronica’s hand.


    “Why?” Skyler could not follow.


    “He hasn’t revealed himself in public, but that doesn’t mean that he’s dead. As long as he’s still


    somewhere, Conrad won’t be able toy a finger on her.”


    “But why is he doing this to you?”


    Hearing that, Veronica nced at Skyler like he was an idiot. “Of course it’s because Matt’s getting in his


    way to the ‘throne’.”


    “Woah. Roni, you’re getting smarter!” Skyler lifted his eyebrow and smiled, but his eyes were full of


    distress.


    When they returned to the parlor, Crayson and Destiny came up to them. Matthew’s footsteps came to a


    halt as he turned sideways to face Veronica with a smile. “Head on with Master Crayson and Destiny


    first. Good girl.”
