Chapter 835


    Chapter 835 Puppet


    “Tiffany may look like she’s working with Hendrey and Zac, but ording to what I know, she has been


    in frequent contact with Dominik and Liamtely. She might have her ns. She’s too ambitious and


    uncontroble.” Crayson frowned deeply, the thin smoke spewing through his breath and barely able to


    hide the worry on his face.


    It hadn’t been a month since his return to the hidden n. Everything was beyond his control, and that


    made him feel extra helpless and exhausted.


    “Yes, Tiffany is totally out of control. No matter what we arrange for her, she won’t agree to it.” Hayley


    sighed, but her legs were neatly ced together as she sat on the couch, her back as straight as a


    ruler. No matter how troubled she was, she still presented herself as a noblewoman.


    “Since she’s out of control, how do you deal with her?” Veronica asked curiously as she gazed coolly at


    the two people sitting opposite her, awaiting their reply.


    In reality, Veronica had always felt pissed, but she tried her best to hold it in. The two kept talking about


    Tiffany being out of control, and it sounded like they thought she was easier to control.


    They should’ve known that only puppets were the easiest to control. What did she mean to them, then?

    “Tanya’s target this time isn’t just you; it’s Tiffany as well. If nothing goes wrong, she probably won’t be


    leaving this hunt alive.” Crayson’s tone was grave as he kept puffing his cigarette to ease the turmoil in


    his mind.


    “Don’t you think it’s a pity to give up on the seeded yer you’ve raised so carefully for more than 20


    years?” Veronica leaned against the couch as she asked, smiling.


    Her sarcastic smile pierced through Hayley’s heart.


    Hayley knew that Veronica hated them, so she was doing her best to fill in the nks in their mother-


    daughter rtionship. However, she hadn’t expected their rtionship to grow more distant. She felt


    helpless about it, and she didn’t quite know where to direct her energy.


    “Fate determines all.” Crayson frowned as he spoke sternly. “Veronica, I know you find this unfair, but


    we’re doing this for your own good. Of course, your mother and I still have to discuss what to do with


    Tiffany.”


    Just as Veronica had said, it was a pity for them to discard the ‘pawn’ they had raised for more than 20


    years. “In that case, I guess I should thank you guys.” With that, she got up and walked up the stairs.


    “I’m tired, so I’m going up to rest.”


    “Come back!” Seeing that she just got up to leave, Crayson put on a dark expression as he gripped the


    pipe, knocking it heavily against the table. “Madam Hayley has been waiting an entire day for you, but


    you’re leaving just like that? How rude of you!”


    Veronica had just taken a few steps when she paused, then slowly turned around. The fury on her face


    was reced by a smile as she said, “Haven’t we discussed everything we needed to?”

    “I still have to discuss with you about the hunting festivities,” said Hayley.


    “Discuss?” Veronica repeated the word. “Is a discussion with me even necessary? You’ve already


    decided everything, so you only have to tell me what to do on the day itself. I trust that you won’t just


    stand by and watch as I die in the hunting event. After all, I have much more worth than Tiffany.”


    With that, she turned around and went up the stairs without even looking back.


    Mateo looked at her figure with a dark look on his face. Then, he turned to look at Crayson and Hayley.


    “I can understand why Roni is mad. It’s unfair of you to treat her like that.” He stood up from the couch


    as well, and as he was about to leave, he added, “No one in this world would willingly be a


    puppet.”


    Only puppets were controlled by people.


    What was the definition of a puppet?


    It was nothing more than a soulless doll.


    Upstairs, Veronica returned to her room to see that Matthew was already there.


    He was sitting at the desk, reading something. When he noticed Veronica’s sullen expression, he got


    up and walked up to her. He put an arm around her waist and caressed her hair with another hand,


    asking, “What’s the matter?”
