    Chapter 802 Tease Mateo


    “I know you don’t trust me or want to reveal anything to me, but I just want to make sure you’re okay.


    Bye.” Disappointed, Xavier ended the call quickly.


    Veronica lost the mood to study after being disturbed by the call and thus began fiddling with her phone


    when a notification popped up.


    She and Matthew had cracked their phones after purchasing them, and they were set to English now.


    It was a concise message from Matthew. ‘The antidote is in the handkerchief.’


    It was the handkerchief she had deliberately poured some of the drink onto the day before and taken


    out with her in her pocket after cing it into a stic bag.


    It was just a guess, but who’d have thought the drink was really spiked?!


    It seemed that Tiffany had colluded with the Ledgers, or perhaps, she did all she could to make a deal


    with them to achieve sess through double-dealing—she was very insecure, after all.


    ‘I got it.’ Veronica typed, then thought for a second and added a kiss emoji before sending the


    message.


    Knock, knock, knock!


    Suddenly, there came a knock at the door.


    At that, Veronica put the phone down and opened the door to find Mateo standing behind it with books


    in his hands, ready to teach her.


    Since Veronica’s bedroom was pretty big, half of it could be divided into a study area. For


    convenience’s sake, she didn’t bother doing her lessons in the study.


    However, after knowing Mateo’s feelings for her, she suddenly thought it wasn’t appropriate for just the


    two of them to be in her bedroom.


    “Mateo, how about we—” Just as she suggested doing the lessons in the study, she found Matthew


    standing behind Mateo.


    “Young Master Mateo, I want to learn from you too.” Matthew’s checkered nnel and mundane


    disguise made him look like a simple and honest man.


    “No!” Mateo red icily at him, having been startled by his sudden appearance.


    At the thought that ‘Iron’ had tricked 20,000 hidden n credits out of him the day before, indignation


    surged within him.


    “All I have is 20,000. Here, take it. Consider them my lesson fees,” said Matthew as he pulled 20,000


    hidden n credits out of his pocket.


    Seeing that it was precisely the money he had been tricked out of, Mateo immediately reached his


    hands out, but Matthew withdrew his hand and asked, “Are you going to teach me?”


    “Give me the money first.” Mateo extended his hand with a ‘no money, no talk’ attitude.


    However, Matthew didn’t yield to his threat. Instead, he turned to the staircase and bellowed, “Master


    Waylen, Young Master Mateo says he isn’t willing to teach me.”


    Crayson’s real name was Waylen Elrod, and Matthew was currently ying the role of a servant. Thus,


    he could only address the former as Master Waylen.


    “Mateo?!” Crayson’s warning immediately came from downstairs.


    Grimness immediately enveloped Mateo’s face as he red daggers at Matthew, only to find thetter


    chuckling foolishly. “Hehehe, Master Waylen said I don’t have to give you money since I serve this


    family. In that case, I think I won’t give it to you,” said the man with a straight face as he put the money


    back into his pocket, causing Mateo to froth at the mouth.


    Matthew’s mischievous side was one that Veronica had never seen before, and she couldn’t help


    wanting to chuckle.


    “Fine!” Mateo shouted toward his grandfather, who then replied, “Iron has been tasked to keep


    Veronica safe from now on. You must see that his hidden tongue is fluent.”

    This arrangement made Mateo so livid that his face flushed from anger. However, he dared not


    comin.


    Though she was amused, Veronica fought back herughter and suggested, “Let’s go to the study. My


    room can’t fit all three of us.”
