Helpless, she took to her heels and ran toward Anthony. “Anth-Ah!” Tiffany had only started to run when Veronica’s fork flew out and pierced Tiffany’s calf. She collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony, as a result of the pain. Veronica, who exuded a fierce aura, approached her side slowly, stepped on her leg, then knelt to remove the fork..
Tiffany screamed in agony again, and this time it was exceptionally loud. Guards were nearby when this occurred, but they were afraid to approach without Liam’s command.
Then, Veronica stepped on Tiffany’s stomach while leaning down and playing with the fork in her right hand that was covered in blood. She slid it across Tiffany’s fair face, leaving a trail of blood.
Veronica’s face gradually darkened as the fork was eventually pointed at Tiffany’s neck. “Tiffany Larson, it’s all your fault. Remember to be a good person in your next life!”
Following that, Veronica raised her hand and stabbed downward fiercely. Tiffany’s pupils widened at that precise moment as though she could see the Grim Reaper coming. It was also the first time she experienced a sense of impending death.
“Stop!” At the critical moment, a stone flew from a distance and accurately hit the fork in Veronica’s hand. The tremendous force made her hand numb, and the fork flew away. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a man and a woman walking toward them.
The two of them were dressed in the attire of the hidden clan, walking with a commanding presence and a remarkable aura.
“How dare you try to kill someone outside our hidden clan palace? Do you not regard our hidden clan royalty in your eyes?” The man said this in English. The man presumably already knew who they were.
Then, the man turned his gaze to Liam and spoke in the language of the hidden clan. “Liam, as a prince, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?”
“Yes, Dominik is right. You’re too lenient,” the woman complained. “Ah, Dominik and Eleanor, they’re all skilled here. It’s not something I can control with just a few words. There isn’t much I can do.” Liam shrugged and spread his hands.
At this moment, Matthew and Hendrey also stopped what they were doing. Veronica rose to her height, and Tiffany was spared.
Tiffany, trembling in fear, detected a faint survival opportunity and crept behind Anthony. Anthony, who was drinking, watched the approaching group of people with a frown. Suddenly, his nose instinctively sniffed and caught a whiff of a pungent odor.
His expression turned icy as he cast a glance back at Tiffany, focusing on her skirt. With just one look, Tiffany understood him and had to back up.
“Get away from me!” Anthony yelled while looking disgusted. The place where they were eating and drinking had been defiled, and even the air felt unclean. He suddenly thought Tiffany was so pitiful because she was so petrified of Veronica that she wet herself.
There wasn’t a lot of light at the bonfire feast. Even if Tiffany had urinated, it couldn’t be seen because of her light-colored dress, but there was a slight odor. However, a gentle breeze blew through, dispersing the odor.
“Allow me to introduce my big brother, Dominik Ledger, and she is my elder sister, Eleanor Ledger, also known as the leader of our hidden clan.” Liam introduced the two people to everyone.
Anthony, Xavier, Antheena, Hendrey, and Troy immediately stepped forward, respectfully greeting them. Indifferent to flattery, Veronica and Matthew remained standing silently.
Dominik, the big brother, had his hands behind his back, and his unfathomable gaze fell on Veronica. Once he had gotten a good look at her, he finally said to the servant following behind him, “Take Miss Tiffany to change her clothes.”
