Chapter 836


    Chapter 836 Don’t Worry, I’m Here


    Veronica wasn’t in a good mood. She reached up and brushed Matthew away, then circled him to sit on


    the rattan chair. She ced her elbow on the handle, then held her hand to her forehead as she said


    gravely, “Matt, Crayson might have figured out your identity already.”


    When she finished speaking, she looked up at Matthew, her eyes filled with worry. Seeing the gray


    clouds over her face, Matthew walked up to her and took her hand. He pulled her up, then proceeded


    to sit on the couch so that Veronica could sit on hisp.


    “If he doesn’t even have observational skills of that level, it’d be kind of scary,” he said. Veronica sat


    sideways on his thighs, frowning in confusion. “To put it simply, if Crayson can’t figure out your identity,


    it would mean that his observational skills and alertness are subpar, and he’s probably not fit to bear


    important responsibilities?”


    “Smart.” The man rubbed the back of her hand with his right hand, then said, “Since he’s supporting


    Hayley, he must be more skilled than the average person. It’s only a matter of time before he realizes


    my identity, so it’s not a surprise.”


    “But now that he’s found out, why hasn’t he exposed you?”


    This was the real problem Veronica was troubled about.

    “Perhaps he has other intentions, but we don’t know what they are. Of course, the easiest guess is that


    he wants Zac, Xavier, and the others to underestimate their enemy. Then, he would work with me to


    deal with them, catching them off guard.”


    His analysis was logical and well-supported.


    His extremely calm reaction humbled Veronica.


    She was too invested and involved, and that was why she got too nervous.


    After hearing Matthew’s analysis, Veronica instantly rxed. Like a balloon that had run out of air, she


    leaned weakly against his chest, mumbling, “They’re letting Tiffany attend the hunting event this time.


    When that happens, Tiffany most probably won’te out of it alive. Say, Crayson and the others have


    raised this pawn for more than 20 years. Will they give up on her so easily?”


    The man smiled faintly as he reached up to scratch the skin on her face. “You already know the answer


    in your heart, so why would you ask me?”


    “Before this, I found out that the hidden n has another way, which is to seal memories. Crayson and


    the others have suggested doing this to Tiffany, but they haven’t done anything like that so far. I don’t


    quite understand what they’re thinking. Also, they’re wary of me.”


    “You don’t have to overthink it; we’ll cross that bridge when wee to it. Moreover, the ascension


    ceremony of the head of the n is just around the corner. We just have to wait another month or two


    before we can leave.” Matthewforted Veronica, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”


    His words seemed to calm Veronica immediately, and her tense emotions gradually rxed.


    However, in the next second, she remembered their encounter with Zac and what he had said. In an


    instant, she straightened up and stared right into Matthew’s eyes. “Do you have a way to contact the


    outside world? I want to know how our children are right now.”


    Having spent more than 20 days in the hidden n, she was swamped with work every day. However,


    in her spare time, her thoughts were upied with her two children in Bloomstead, and she feared that


    they would get into danger.


    “Roni…” With both his hands, Matthew held her hands and gripped them tightly in his grasp as he


    gazed at her with a firm look in his eyes. “If something is bound to happen, it will. If you worry too


    much, you’ll only panic and lose your cool. Sometimes, you can learn to counter change with


    steadfastness.”


    “It’s easy to say…” Veronica made a droopy face, deted. “But we’re weak and powerless in the


    hidden n. Every enemy we face is strong and powerful, and if we make a single wrong step, we’ll be


    falling into the abyss before we know it.”


    The tremendous stress was so overwhelming that Veronica felt a little suffocated. Her exhaustion was


    multiplying.


    She began to doubt herself again, feeling that she was too weak and had no right to be standing next


    to Matthew. She felt like she couldn’t shoulder any great responsibility and that she was just dragging


    him down.


    “Zac wants to meet us at Elysium Hotel tonight, right? We’ll know more when we get there.”
