Chapter 701 Attack
Mateo didn’t say much as he looked at Tiffany meaningfully before following Veronica into the cafe. After asking the owner for a private room, they entered and took their seats. He took the menu and asked Veronica what she liked before ordering Roobois tea and a few specialty snacks.
“Hey, didn’t Matthew just pass away? Did you find new love so soon? Aren’t you afraid that he won’t rest in peace?” Tiffany leaned on the rattan chair and spoke sarcastically.
Since she was wearing a silver hat, the silver tassels hanging on the edges of the hat made a bell-like sound when she moved slightly. The sound was pleasing to the ear.
Veronica’s face darkened as she locked her gaze on Tiffany. Mateo, who was sitting beside her, spoke up immediately. “Did you just come out of the toilet, Miss Larson? Why are you spitting bullsh*t?”
“Who the hell are you? Was I talking to you?” Tiffany raised her chin slightly arrogantly and looked at Mateo with contempt.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. It’s disgusting to see you acting almighty and domineering,” he spat bluntly.
“Seeing how young you are, you must be Veronica’s lover boy.” Tiffany covered her lips with her hands and smirked. “It’s understandable, though. After all, her beloved husband passed away not long ago, so she needs the company of a man to get over her sorrow.”
“You…”
When Mateo heard that, he became furious and hurried over toward her.
As soon as she saw this, she jumped to her feet in shock, took a few steps back, and asked, “Are you trying to hurt me? I’m warning you, you better be aware of my identity before you decide whether to hit me.”
“Don’t get worked up.” This time, Veronica stood up.
She walked in front of him and reached out to push him behind her while she stared at Tiffany with a cold gaze.
Suddenly, with Mateo and Hendrey keeping an eye on the situation, she raised her foot and aimed it at Tiffany’s face. However, at a critical juncture, Hendrey pulled Tiffany aside, stood up, and shielded her.
After Veronica failed to land the kick, she retracted her leg. She glared at Hendrey before turning her gaze to Tiffany. Her delicate hands were balled into tight fists, and the dark orbs in her eyes were filled with surprise and disappointment.
“I didn’t know your feelings for her were that persistent.”
In any case, Veronica never expected Hendrey to stand up and protect Tiffany at a critical moment.
Suddenly, she was reminded of the bracelet on her wrist. She removed it without hesitation before hurling it angrily in his direction. “I’ve wanted to return this bracelet to you, so… here you go.”
Hendrey put out a hand and caught the bracelet firmly, then looked at it in his palm, and it appeared as if the warmth of her hand was still present. There was a brief moment of sadness in his eyes as he furrowed his chiseled brows, but when he looked up, his eyes were calm. “You can’t hurt Tiffany. She—”
“You can’t get away from Matt’s death, either. I will let you and Tiffany go this time, but wait until I settle accounts with you two sooner or later!” Veronica warned solemnly.
“It also depends on whether you can live until that time. Veronica, do you think the hidden clan can accommodate you? You must not know how many people want you dead here.” Tiffany rolled her eyes at her and quipped.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that she had the exact same face as Veronica and her true identity.
“You’d better pray that Hendrey will never leave you.” After leaving her with that sentence, Veronica turned around and left.
After Veronica left, Mateo stared at Tiffany and said, “So, you’re aware that it’s the hidden clan here? Then, you should always be aware of your identity. If you ever die as a substitute, you will only die before her.”
He then left gracefully after saying that.
Tiffany was slightly startled and was shocked by the slamming of the door.”W-Who is he? How did he know about me?”
