    Chapter 856 Mateo’s Confession


    “Of course, I feel bad for you.” “Here, have more of this.” Veronica ced a hard-boiled egg into


    Mateo’s bowl. “Roni’s the best.” Veronica easily brushed Mateo off with just an egg.


    Crayson, on the other hand, was having his breakfast solemnly. After finishing his porridge, he asked,


    “Have you all heard of Zac’s incident?” He first nced over at Veronica before looking over at


    Matthew, as if he was implying something.


    Hearing that, Destiny sighed, “This is a serious matter since Zac is the prince of Castron and Xavier


    dared to provoke him. I’m afraid that he is done for.”


    At the same time, Veronica lowered her gaze as she had her porridge absent-mindedly before giving a


    half-hearted reply, stating, “Yes, I’ve heard about it.”


    “The death of Roni’s husband must have something to do with Xavier. Therefore, it serves him right to


    be captured.” Mateo, who was unaware of the fact, added, “This is karma.”


    “Although we are within the hidden n’s territory, Zac is the high-born prince of Castron. All of you


    better stay away from him and not get yourselves into trouble.” Crayson emphasized hisst phrase to


    warn and remind them about the severity of the issue.


    Matthew was quiet, and Veronica merely nodded after hearing Crayson’s warning. Mateo, who was still


    kept in the dark, chuckled mysteriously. “We can just watch from the side and reap the spoils when


    both sides suffer. Isn’t that the best?”


    “Stop talking nonsense and eat your food!” Crayson red at him with a piercing gaze. “You’re still


    acting frivolously even though you’re an adult.” Everyone around the table kept quiet as they had their


    breakfast.


    After the servants cleared the table when everyone was done with their meal, Veronica called out to


    Matthew, “Iron Pir. Please apany me down the mountains to buy something.”


    “Roni, let me go with you.” Mateo rushed over to Veronica and added, “Iron Pir must be busy. It’s


    better not to trouble him.”


    “I’m not busy.” Matthew’s words had shattered Mateo’s hopes of having some alone time with Veronica.


    “Miss Veronica, let’s go.” Matthew walked toward her.


    “Please bring me along,” Mateo pleaded. Since he couldn’t get rid of Iron Pir, he chose to join them


    so that he could spend more time with Veronica.


    “Alright, let’s go.” She had no choice but to let Mateo tag along.


    As they descended the mountain, Matthew was walking next to Veronica, making Mateo upset and


    jealous as he thought they had been too close to each other.


    “Iron Pir?” He stretched his hand and pulled him aside. “Can you please move over? I need to speak


    to Roni.”


    Matthew was displeased about it, but Veronica red at him before he could say anything. Left with no


    choice, he nodded with acknowledgment and took a step back.


    “Roni, there’s a theater around here. Would you like to watch a musical?” Mateo suggested as he


    walked next to her.

    “I’m not into that,” she replied.


    “Or we can go watch a movie?” he suggested.


    “I don’t like watching movies either,” she answered.


    “You don’t like that too? Arge-scale concert will be held in two weeks at the neighboring Sloan City.


    Would you be interested?”


    “How would I be interested when I can’t understand yournguage?” Veronica replied.


    “True that.” Mateo nodded. After giving it some thought, he suggested again, “Why not have a bonfire


    party, or let’s go hiking?”


    That instant, Veronica suddenly felt cold on her back, and she subconsciously turned around to find


    Matthew staring into her soul.
