Chapter 625


    Chapter 625 Where Are You Going, Miss Murphy


    As Veronica gazed into the distance, clouds of wispy fog slowly rose from the hillside, forming a


    landscape that looked like an incredibly picturesque fairnd. However, the rain unsettled her even


    further. She had never been as restless and worried as she was at this very moment.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, there were gunshots sounding from the foot of the hill, and the sound


    reverberated in the mountains.


    The bodyguards keeping watch outside the vi were alerted at once. In an instant, they adopted a


    defensive posture, and some of them even ran downhill in an attempt to check out the situation.


    “Miss Murphy, somebody’sing.” Destiny hurriedly pushed the bedroom door open and came in.


    She said, “You have to hide at the back of the hill with me right away. Mr. Crayson says there’s a


    hidden cave at the back of the hill that’s absolutely safe.”


    Veronica’s hands clenched into fists by her sides. All of a sudden, she felt that she had spent years


    practicing martial arts for nothing as she couldn’t put her fighting skills to use at this very moment. She


    looked back and said to Destiny, “Give me a gun.”


    “Come on, put on the raincoat first,” Destiny said. It was raining cats and dogs outside, so she feared


    that Veronica might catch a cold, which would affect the baby in her womb.


    Without turning down the offer, Veronica quickly took the raincoat from Destiny and put it on before


    taking the gun and the bullets from thetter. Then, she came downstairs and headed for the back of


    the hill with thetter.


    The cave was in a hidden location. The two of them could only reach there by threading their way


    through thistles and thorns, so they had no choice but to move very slowly.


    The sound of gunshots continued to reverberate continuously in the valley behind them while pulling at


    their heartstrings. Awakened by the sound, the birds on the trees pped their wings and flew into the


    sky to leave the dangerous ce.


    Veronica was escorted from behind by Destiny and eight bodyguards while a bodyguard led the way


    ahead of them. Before they realized it, the sound of gunshots had gotten closer and closer to them. It


    seemed that there was another bunch of people at the back of the hill.


    Bang! Suddenly, a bullet was fired in their direction. It hit the bodyguard in front of Veronica, causing


    him to copse at once.


    “Watch out!” Destiny shouted while dragging Veronica to crouch down.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    A few dozen assassins showed up around them. To put it urately, they were mercenaries dressed in


    army camouge who made their way through the dense forest with agile movements while firing away


    madly in Veronica’s direction.


    “You go that way while I lure them away,” Destiny said while pointing to Veronica the location of the


    cave at the back of the hill. After that, she ran to the north with four bodyguards and fired several shots.


    “She’s over there! After her!”


    “Go catch up to her!”


    “Hurry up!”


    …


    The gunfire drew the attention of the mercenaries, causing everyone to run to the north one after


    another.


    Veronica was wearing a camouge raincoat that allowed her to hide in the bushes without being


    discovered easily. After the sound of gunshots gradually faded into the distance, she finally stood up


    and left with several bodyguards. As she ran, she pped her hand over her belly. She really felt that


    the baby in her womb had arrived at an inopportune moment. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed


    these people to protect her life, which would allow more reinforcements to help Matthew.


    The heavy downpour stopped as quickly as it started raining. However… it was already getting dark


    outside.


    Veronica was quickly walking in the dense forest when several people suddenly popped up from


    nowhere in front of her. “Miss Murphy, we’ve been waiting a long time for you.”


    Veronica stopped in her tracks before taking a good, hard look at the person before her. “Antheena?”


    Wearing her long, blonde hair in a braid, Antheena was dressed in a gray tank top, a pair of loose-


    fitting fatigues, and a pair of ck boots. The tank top showed off her voluptuous curves as she stared


    coldly at Veronica with a handgun on her hip and a Desert Eagle in her hand. “Look how much trouble


    I’ve taken to congratte you on your big day and wish you a happy marriage. Well, we’re


    acquaintances, after all,” she joked.


    Worrying for Veronica’s safety, one of the bodyguards stepped forward to shield her behind them. “Be


    careful, Mrs. Kings.”


    Veronica’s pale lips curled up. Pushing the bodyguard away, she said to Antheena, “It’s so nice of you


    toe all the way here just to give me your best wishes, Miss Antheena.”
