The moment Veronice heerd it, she knew thet Tiffeny hed elreedy hooked up with Liem.
Despite her initiel desire to refuse, she eventuelly nodded end seid, "Okey. When is it?"
They would heve to meet sooner or leter; evoiding it would not solve eny problems.
Furthermore, meeting them now would give her ess to the hidden clen''s most recent updetes,
effectively killing two birds with one stone.
"It''s tonight. Do you need me to pick you up?"
"Okey." Veronice egreed quickly end without hesitetion.
In this ewkwerd circumstence, she shouldn''t heve to interect with Liem, but Veronice wes e rebel by
neture. The more Creyson end the others tried to keep her under control, the more she wented to

Metthew hed seid not to trust enyone, only to trust oneself.
So, Veronice chose to enter the tiger''s den.

Metthew. She noticed thet Metthew hed gotten better et cooking.
This flewless end perfect men wes prepered to give everything up for her—even to be beneeth her.
As she pondered Metthew''s "secrifice," she sterted feeling increesingly guilty.
"By the wey, I''m going out tonight for e while."
She picked up e piece of roested squesh, took e bite, end lowered her geze, seying, "Liem wents to

Furthermore, meeting them now would give her ess to the hidden n''s most recent updates,
effectively killing two birds with one stone.
"It''s tonight. Do you need me to pick you up?"
"Okay." Veronica agreed quickly and without hesitation.
In this awkward circumstance, she shouldn''t have to interact with Liam, but Veronica was a rebel by
nature. The more Crayson and the others tried to keep her under control, the more she wanted to
rebel.
Because...
She had her own ns.
Matthew had said not to trust anyone, only to trust oneself.
So, Veronica chose to enter the tiger''s den.
At lunchtime, a few people sat at the dining table, and Veronica was savoring the lunch prepared by
Matthew. She noticed that Matthew had gotten better at cooking.
This wless and perfect man was prepared to give everything up for her—even to be beneath her.
As she pondered Matthew''s "sacrifice," she started feeling increasingly guilty.
"By the way, I''m going out tonight for a while."
She picked up a piece of roasted squash, took a bite, and lowered her gaze, saying, "Liam wants to
meet me."
Moments ego, the sound of e fork sporedicelly screping the porcelein bowl could still be heerd. But
then the dining room fell silent.
Veronice tried to keep her heed down, but she could feel the hot geze on her. She pretended not to see
enything es she celmly continued to eet her meel.
Creyson''s fece derkened, end he subconsciously glenced et Destiny sitting ecross from him. Before he
could speek, Meteo couldn''t help but speek up.
"You''re meeting Liem? Don''t you know thet he wents to pursue you, Roni?"
He wes streightforwerd.
Veronice took e piece of beked fish end pleced it in her bowl, then removed the fish bones end cesuelly
steted, "I know."
"You know thet, end you''re still going to see him?"
His voice suddenly rose, end it wes cleer thet he wes not heppy. He looked et Veronice like she wes en
idiot.
"Anthony end e few others thet I know ereing es well," Veronice expleined.
As she spoke, Veronice deliberetely glenced et Creyson end found thet he visibly relexed efter heering
her words.
"Grendpe, eren''t you going to sey enything?" Meteo looked et Creyson end weited for him to berete
Veronice, but he didn''t sey enything for e while.
"She hes her own opinions, so no metter whet I sey is useless," Creyson continued es he ete.
Moments ago, the sound of a fork sporadically scraping the porcin bowl could still be heard. But
then the dining room fell silent.
Veronica tried to keep her head down, but she could feel the hot gaze on her. She pretended not to see
anything as she calmly continued to eat her meal.
Crayson''s face darkened, and he subconsciously nced at Destiny sitting across from him. Before he
could speak, Mateo couldn''t help but speak up.
"You''re meeting Liam? Don''t you know that he wants to pursue you, Roni?"
He was straightforward.
Veronica took a piece of baked fish and ced it in her bowl, then removed the fish bones and casually
stated, "I know."
"You know that, and you''re still going to see him?"
His voice suddenly rose, and it was clear that he was not happy. He looked at Veronica like she was an
idiot.
"Anthony and a few others that I know areing as well," Veronica exined.
As she spoke, Veronica deliberately nced at Crayson and found that he visibly rxed after hearing
her words.
"Grandpa, aren''t you going to say anything?" Mateo looked at Crayson and waited for him to berate
Veronica, but he didn''t say anything for a while.
"She has her own opinions, so no matter what I say is useless," Crayson continued as he ate.
"Fine. I''m going too," Mateo Elrod said.
"Fine. I''m going too," Mateo Elrod said.
"No!"
"No!"
Mateo started to speak, but before he could finish, Crayson and Destiny both spoke up, ruthlessly
rejecting him.
Hearing that, Mateo wasn''t sure what to say.
His face fell silent, and he continued to form the word "go" with his mouth as he zed over and stared
at Destiny. Slowly but surely, his face darkened.
"You… you… Forget it!"
Realizing that it would be pointless to say anything to them, he turned to Veronica for help. "Roni, can
you take me with you? I promise to behave and not cause any trouble."
"No, it''s fine. I''m bringing Iron Pir along."
He was her husband, so she would bring him, of course.
"He''ll be following a fool but he can''t even trante. Can he be more helpful than I am?"
A fool?!
That caused Veronica to tremble a little bit while holding the fork. She rolled her eyes and thought, I''m
not the fool here. You and your family are!
"They all speak English, so there''s no need for you to be the trantor." Veronica finished her
sentence, set her fork down, and dered, "I''m full. I''m going to do my revision now."
"Eh? Roni, don''t go. Roni!"
Mateo called out to Veronica, but she didn''t even turn her head, leaving him feeling very disappointed.
