Chapter 1167 How Can Iron Pir Go Back on His Word?
Who would have known that these 20,000 hidden n credits were worth 100,000 Destorian Dors
and enough to send Mateo into a nightlong state of despair? However, Matthew didn''t quickly agree.
He reluctantly replied, "I''ll give it a try."
"That''s settled then. Iron, I''m going back to my room to await your good news."
With everything settled, Mateo was in a great mood and couldn''t contain his smile.
He stood up and left the room, shutting the door behind him.
Instantaneously, the serene look vanished from Matthew''s face and was reced with a tinge of
iciness. He smiled as he shook his head, looking at the 20,000 in his hand.
At 3.00PM, Mateo emerged from the room wearing a suit and looking stunning.
Crayson, who Mateo thought hade to find him, was approaching him. Mateo smiled and stated,
"Grandpa, Iron told me that he has something to do this afternoon, so I''ll apany Roni to the
appointment."
"Iron Pir told me the same thing, but that little brat has already left with him. She needs to take care
of some business first before going to the appointment. So you should just stay at home."
Crayson''s words undoubtedly struck Mateo hard. He stood there dumbfounded, his fair face drooping.
"What do you—How can Iron Pir go back on his word?"
He had spent 20,000 hidden n credits to bribe "Iron Pir," but he never expected to be yed.
"What do you mean by going back on his word? He did have something to do, but that little brat went
out with him because she had nothing to do."
Crayson exined and then left.
But after taking a few steps, he paused, turned around, furrowed his brows tightly, and red at Mateo
in anger. "You little brat, did you bribe Iron Pir? That''s why he said he had something to do and
couldn''t apany that little brat."
"Ah, I…"
At this time, Mateo felt like crying. He waved his hands repeatedly and remarked, "No, no, no. It''s not
like that. Iron Pir came to me earlier and said he had something to do, so he asked me to apany
Roni. It''s just a misunderstanding."

He turned back to the room while forcing a bitter smile.
His smile then was even more hideous than when he was sobbing.
In the meantime, at the base of a hill, in an off-road vehicle.
Matthew drove along with Veronica, leaving the city and heading to the outskirts. They came to a halt in
the middle of nowhere, surrounded by green mountains and clear water.
Turning to look at the woman in the passenger seat, Matthew yed with a strand of hair at her temple
with his slender fingers. "Tell me. What should I do with you?"
"What''s wrong?"
Veronica was looking at the scenery outside the car window when she was suddenly caught off guard
by Matthew''s question.
"First, there was Liam, and now there''s Mateo. Roni, why didn''t I know that you have a lot of admirers?
So many people have expressed interest in you."
He spoke with a grudging look in his eyes.
Seeing him, Veronica couldn''t help but feel a pang of heartache. She held his hand and responded,
"What nonsense is that? Where did thate from? Mateo is Master Crayson''s grandson, and his
protection towards me is because of Master Crayson. Don''t overthink it."
"You say I''m overthinking it, but you''repletely wrong."
Matthew hugged her waist, yanking her into hisp with his arm. "Mateo himself told me this. Not only
that, but he bribed me with 20,000 hidden n credits, hoping to take advantage of the situation and
pursue you. What do you say? Should I teach him a lesson?"
"What? I didn''t know that."
In all honesty, Veronica waspletely unaware of Mateo''s true intentions toward her.
Mateo has been very enthusiastic about her ever since he joined the hidden n, which is just part of
what makes him likable—his sunny and charming personality.
Who would have thought Mateo had such feelings for her?
"I regret it, Roni."
