Chapter 1007 Going All Out
Crayson walked over and took a nce, looking confused. "Matching rings?"
"That''s right." Veronica let out a chuckle. "I just picked out a brooch as his present for tomorrow. As for
this pair of matching rings, it''s for our marriage. When I be the head…"
She deliberately phrased her words that way. After taking a nce at the sales assistant, she lowered
her voice before she continued, "I n to marry him after everything is over. What do you think?"
"Haha, I agree, of course."
Crayson, who had just been filled with worry earlier, finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking that his worry
had been unnecessary. So she had been picking out her wedding ring; that was great news.
After picking out the brooch and matching rings, Veronica went to pay the bill.
As they walked out of the jewelry store, she said to him, "Crayson, you have to keep it a secret from
Mat. I want to give him a surprise."
In other words, she was hinting for him to let Mateo know as soon as possible so that he would be
overjoyed. Expectedly, when Crayson and Veronica returned to Hayley''s manor, he immediately gave
Mateo a call.
"Mateo, I have good news for you."
"What is it, Grandpa?"
"Haha, when we were on the way back, Veronica went to the jewelry store to buy a set of matching
rings. She''s nning to get married to you after the ascension ceremony."
Hearing that, Mateo felt as if he were on cloud nine. "I know."
"You''re pretending to be calm again." Crayson let out a breezyugh. "Veronica even told me not to tell
you this. Anyways, now that you know, don''t say it out loud. Veronica wants to give you a surprise, so
don''t ruin it."
A smile yed on Mateo''s pale face. "Okay, I''ll keep that in mind."
He didn''t tell Crayson that Veronica had already told him her wish to get married to him in the hospital
earlier.
Two hourster, Matthew''s men sessfully took the two children away to somewhere safe.
Meanwhile, Zac and Dominik had a secret rendezvous to discuss the secret deployment during the
ascension ceremony.
At first, Zac had been coveting the hidden n and even fantasized about taking them down. However,
after he arrived, he realized that there was a huge gap in wealth within the n, and their economy was
far behind that of Castron.
Instead of wasting his manpower and resources in an attempt to swallow the hidden n for himself,
he figured that it would be better to cooperate with them and obtain the mining rights to several mines.
After all, those were the things he truly wanted.
Zac sat across from Dominik and took a sip of tea as he drawlednguidly, "Dominik, tell me your
ns."
After Matthew''s instigation in the past, Dominik was now prepared as he faced Zac. "Why don''t you tell
me yours first?"
"I don''t have any ns. I''ll only go all out. As long as I can kill Matthew and Veronica to help you
secure the position of the head of the n, everything else is irrelevant."
Zac had a very specific objective in mind, and as long as he worked with Dominik, he could aplish
all of his goals. Dominik was aware that despite Zac''s resentment toward Matthew, their differences
could be put aside in the face of their shared goals. Although he wasn''t entirely trusting of him, he had
no choice but to rely on Zac.

Zac was the only person he could depend on at this point. He had originally pledged to assist Matthew
but given circumstances beyond his control, he was unable to do so on that particr day. Now that
Veronica lost her memories and had be Waylen and Hayley''s puppet, Matthew would do
everything in his power to aid her regardless of what she wanted to do as he couldn''t stand to see her
suffer.
Three factions were currently battling for the title of the head of the n, and as the ascension
ceremony neared, tensions were rising amongst everyone involved, and the ambitions of those like Zac
had caused the hidden n to go through unpredictable waves despite its apparent facade of calm. In
the end, it was still uncertain who themb sacrificed in this monumental conflict would be.
