Putting down his wine glass, he smilingly slurred, ‘Miss Murphy, I… I like you. Will you… be my woman? Hehehe, I am the prince of the hidden clan. If you become my woman, I will give you the best of everything. How about it?”
Liam, who was in a daze, said as he rushed toward Veronica and held her in his arms. “Liam, what are you doing? Let go of me!”
Veronica felt like her head was filled with lead, heavy and uncomfortable. When Liam rushed over, she regained some clarity and tried to push him away. However, Liam refused to let go. “Darling, just be with me. Your husband is dead, and I don’t mind you at all. Be with me, okay?”
“Are you crazy? Get lost!” Veronica struggled and resisted, but whether it was because of the strong alcohol or something else, she felt weak all over.
Not far away, Matthew noticed that Veronica was missing and turned his head to see what was happening by the bonfire. Immediately, his face darkened visibly, and he ran over there. A scream then echoed through the air..
Everyone turned their heads and saw Iron Pillar pinning Liam to the ground, beating him mercilessly, causing him to scream in pain. “What’s going on?”
“Go and see.” Everyone hurriedly ran to the bonfire, and Hendrey and Eleanor also stopped and followed. The soldiers guarding nearby saw the prince being beaten and immediately surrounded them.
“Outrageous! How dare you lay your hands on the prince?”
“Take him down!”
“Veronica, has your bodyguard gone mad?”
“Stop him!” Veronica saw Matthew draw blood from Liam’s mouth with his punches. While she still had some rationality left in her, she stood up and grabbed him. “Stop it!” She tried to stop him, but how could Matthew listen?
After Matthew pushed Veronica away, he grabbed Liam by the collar, clenched his fist, and punched Liam hard. Liam staggered back four or five meters and fell to the ground, spitting out blood. Dozens of soldiers surrounded Matthew and told him off in a hidden tongue. “Stop! Don’t move!”
When everyone was puzzled, Xavier noticed Veronica’s slightly disheveled clothes and furrowed his brows, questioning, “Did he touch you?”
With that sentence, everyone instantly understood what had happened. Dominik stepped forward and refuted, “Although Liam is fond of women, he would never do such a ridiculous thing in front of everyone. Miss Murphy, you wouldn’t be falsely accusing him, would you?”
After all, Veronica and the Ledger Clan were enemies. It was not impossible for her to deliberately provoke trouble at this time. But after Dominik finished speaking, both Matthew and Xavier looked at him.
This time, without waiting for Matthew to speak, Xavier directly mentioned, “Whether it’s a false accusation or not, we’ll find out by asking Prince Liam.” As he spoke, he walked toward Liam and grabbed him by the collar. “Tell me, what did you do to Roni?”
Xavier publicly stood up for Veronica because he was smitten with her. Antheena, as his wife, was both angry and jealous. She clenched her fists at her side and looked at Veronica with a hint of ruthlessness and envy in her eyes. “Ugh… Let go of me…”
Liam pushed Xavier away and rushed toward Veronica again. “Hehehe, Miss Murphy, date me… I will take care of you… I don’t mind that you’re a widow… Ah!”
Before he could get close to Veronica, Xavier, who was furious, kicked him in the back. Liam then fell to the ground like a dog, his head right next to Veronica’s feet.
