Chapter 790


    Chapter 790 Hayley Is Here Again


    The Hidden n is and of crisis. Nheless, they are full of benevolence and morality. They


    seemed to be magnanimous and wanted to save those in the living hell, which is why they asked me to


    return andpete for the position of head of the n, but they didn’t even bother asking my opinion


    about this matter. Veronica narrowed her eyes indifferently.


    “I…” Hayley maintained the poise of a noblewoman as she sat on the sofa, looking as graceful and


    elegant as ever. Still, there was a look of unconcealed sorrow in her eyes when she gazed at Veronica.


    “Master Crayson told me that you went to the pce. I was worried, so I came to check on you.”


    “I’m good.” Veronica spread her arms wide in response, and she almost did a little spin before them.


    Then, she grumbled, “You can go home now. It’s gettingte, and I’m sleepy.”


    Others might hint to their guests that they overstayed their wee, but she didn’t even bother with


    pleasantries.


    “Watch your tongue, little brat!” Crayson’s face sank at her rudeness, and he angrily smacked the


    sofa’s armrest. “She’s your mother! How can you treat her like that?!”


    “My mother? Oh, I’m sorry. I have too many mothers. I might have forgotten them if you didn’t bring it


    up.” Veronica curled her red lips upward and nodded earnestly.

    Then, she deliberately corrected her posture, bowed slightly at Hayley, and said respectfully, “Madam


    Hayley, thank you for your concern, but I am fine and have returned unharmed. But I’m a little


    exhausted because I overindulged earlier. If you have anything to say, we’ll talk about it tomorrow,


    okay?”


    This time, she ditched her aloof demeanor and talked pleasantly and gently. Yet, her feigned amicability


    merely made them feel frustrated and exasperated.


    Destiny was utterly annoyed by Veronica’s attitude as she self-righteously thought that she was an


    ungrateful child. Therefore, she reprimanded Veronica harshly, “Hey, behave yourself! Do you know


    how the sacrifices Master Crayson and Madam Hayley have made for you over the years?”


    Veronica’s smile gradually faded at that reminder. She raised her head slightly, shot a sharp re at


    Destiny, and tilted her chin defiantly. “In your opinion, how should I behave?” These people are so


    ridiculous and outrageous.


    Veronica had chosen to hold back her anger all this while and tried her best not to get into an argument


    with them, especially when it was about Matthew. She knew full well the despicable things Crayson and


    Destiny had done, but she chose not to confront them head-on.


    But here they were, constantly forcing her to be respectful and considerate to Hayley, saying that it


    would be better for her to show Hayley the filial piety she deserved. Frankly, the term ‘tall order’ didn’t


    even begin to cover their demands!


    “She’s your mother! You—”


    The agitated Destiny was about to say something when Hayley waved her off. She was dignified and


    gracious as always when she remarked, “It’s okay. Veronica has a hard time epting me for now. I


    can understand that. She’s right. It’s gettingte, so I’ll be taking my leave.”


    “Madam Hayley, please stay here tonight. It’s quite chaotic these days, so we don’t want any harm to


    come to you,” Mateo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly suggested.


    “Yes, he’s right. There are so many people eyeing you and finding the right chance to strike. Nothing


    can happen to you during this critical moment.” Crayson sighed and added, “Just stay here and make


    do for the night.”


    This establishment had three stories. Besides, one building was near the front and another in the back.


    So, they had plenty of guest rooms avable.


    “Uh… I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Hayley hesitated, but she looked at Veronica when she spoke as if


    seeking her opinion. Veronica ignored her, turned around, and stormed up the stairs without waiting for


    their dismissal.


    She was not in the mood to act as a loving daughter right now, but these people could dream on!


    “Don’t be upset. Veronica is stubborn, but she’s kind and sensible. You guys rarely had time for one


    another after she arrived at the Hidden n, so it’s going to be hard for her to ept you for the


    moment. Please be patient.”
