Chapter 833 Rece the Chef
They left the pce in the afternoon. Matthew was driving while Veronica sat sullenly in the passenger
seat. Matthew said, “Tanya is a cunning old fox. She would invite all the hidden n officials to the
hunting festival, so Hayley was asked to attend along with you. This is an opportune chance for Hayley
to publicly introduce you to the hidden n, and it would also serve as a foundation for you to fight for
the throne. Hayley definitely won’t decline the invitation. There’s no reason to.” Matthew sighed
forlornly.
Veronica sighed as well. “In other words, Tanya’s plot is to let me have a taste of my own medicine.
She wants me to join in the hunt, then she would get rid of me during the event. After all, those who
enter the hunt have to sign a mortality contract.”
She clicked her tongue and shook her head,menting, “Tanya is gaining the upper hand. She will lure
Hayley to get me to join the festivities, and when everyone knows of my existence, I won’t have a
reason to decline the hunt. If I say no, the people would be disappointed in me right away, and I would
be a disgrace to the Elrods. When the Elrods fight for the throne in the future, even Hayley’s supporters
might switch sides.”
There was an unwritten rule in the hidden n that during the hunting festival, the princes and young
lords of the hidden n were obliged to participate under most circumstances.
Only the brave could be the head of the hidden n and lead the n to prosperity.

This was a firm belief in the hearts of every hidden n member.
Since most of the hidden n members were trained inbat, they looked down on the weak.
“This time around, not only do you have to participate in the hunting event, but you also have to win it.”
Matthew was greatly worried.
The danger presented itself earlier than he had expected.
The participants of the hunting event were all top hunters. How many of them were assassins sent by
Tanya, and how many people could Hayley arrange to protect Veronica?
It was a situation with only a tiny chance of survival.
The two fell silent.
Once back at Mountainside Gardens, the two had just entered the hall when they saw Hayley sitting
there.
Veronica nced at the table in the living room. A few teacups were stillid out on the table, yet to be
cleaned up. It was apparent that several people had visited this house before they returned.
She nced at Matthew, who nodded and said, “Master Waylen, Madam Hayley, I’ll be taking my leave
now.”
As a chef and part-time bodyguard, Matthew still had no right to listen to their conversation.
“You may go.”
Crayson nodded.
Veronica walked up to the couch and sat down. Before Hayley could say anything, she suggested,
“Let’s hire a new chefter. Things are getting busier these days, and you can’t expect him to protect
me on top of making three meals a day for us.”
She was earnestly concerned about Matthew, but she endured until the right moment to voice her
suggestion so that Crayson wouldn’t suspect anything.
“Even though Iron Pir is skilled, it isn’t appropriate for him to work as both a chef and a bodyguard.”
Mateo agreed with Veronica’s statement. Then, he grinned and said, “As such, Iron Pir won’t be
following you around in the future. He just has to focus on cooking, or his cooking skills will be wasted.”
Since his fight with Liam, Mateo was grounded by Crayson to rethink his actions. To prevent Liam from
exacting revenge, Matthew was also sent to protect Veronica.
These days, no matter how much Mateo begged, Crayson never once allowed him to stay by
Veronica’s side.
When Mateo finished speaking, he asked Veronica, “Roni, just say yes, pretty please? I keep begging
Grandpa, but he won’t let me protect you no matter what. He even said that Iron Pir will put his life on
the line to protect you. Tsk, he’s just underestimating me.”
Veronica, who was a little thirsty, poured a ss of water for herself. When she heard what Mateo said,
her hand froze while holding the ss, and she subconsciously looked up at Crayson.
