Chapter 962


    Chapter 962 The Poisoned Needle


    It was the dream of most men to join the harem of the young leader of the hidden n, who was poised


    to be the head soon. s, the wealthy Matthew did not even need her riches, and she had nothing left


    to attract his attention. To put it bluntly, he was not interested in Eleanor''s possessions.


    "Thanks." Veronica took a seat beside her and offered a sincere thank you.


    "What for?" Eleanor turned to the side, resting her arm on the back of the chair. There was a gleeful


    smile on her porcin face. "I never promised to give up on pursuing him."


    She was only forced to give up after she failed to get his romantic interest. It was rather regrettable, but


    at least she witnessed the true love between Matthew and Veronica.


    Hearing that, Veronica smiled but said nothing. Although Eleanor refused to admit it, Veronica could tell


    she had been less obsessed with Matthew.


    "By the way, I heard about you in the pce. You''re something else. How could you drive a car off that


    high mountain? Weren''t you afraid of dying?" The more Eleanor got to know Veronica, the more she


    admired the woman and understood the reason behind Matthew''s deep love.


    Veronica was a woman who shined brightly; she was beautiful, wise, and decisive. No man could resist


    her charm.


    "Death awaits everyone at the end of life. It''s just a matter of time. It''s nothing to be afraid of," Veronica


    answered with a smile.


    "You''re awesome!" Eleanor gave her a thumbs up. "I''m very impressed."


    "You were waterboarded by your mother for saving Matt''s life. I''m immensely grateful but feel sorry for


    you. But, more than anything, I admire your courage," Veronica confessed her thought. Then, she


    added, "You could''ve had Matthew to yourself if you sealed his memory. Why did you help him


    escape?"


    "Ah, drop that." Eleanor waved dismissively and took a sip of the tea as she shook her head. "I had a


    change of heart. At first, I wanted badly to show off my heroism in front of my master, hoping to change


    his heart, but he was heartless! My efforts were in vain, and I even got into trouble."

    Eleanor bluffed with a straight face. Veronica watched on, pretending to believe in her words. "Oh, that


    must''ve been a huge loss."


    "Right? I thought so too." Eleanor lifted her thin brow. "So, how are you going to repay me?"


    "Shall I give you my hand in marriage to repay you?" Veronica joked.


    "Sure. If you divorce Master now, I don''t mind adding you to my harem."


    "Is that for real?"


    "Of course… not!" Eleanorughed loudly. "I''m straight!"


    The women chatted away happily. Momentster, a thought crossed Veronica''s mind. "You were with


    Matt on the mountain that day. How did he get injured?"


    "That day?"


    Eleanor carefully recalled the memories from the day of the incident. "That puzzled me too. He was in a


    rush to search for you and gave me a watch, telling me to press the button if I came across assassins.


    The button releases poisoned needles. I was wounded that time and pointed the watch at myself. I


    threatened him that I''d shoot the needle at myself if he left me. If I died, he''d need to take responsibility,


    but he still left! I pressed the button out of anger, but the needle was released in his direction!"


    Veronica''s mind went nk.
