“You are just too kind.” Matthew stared at Veronica with tenderness in his dark eyes. “Sympathizing with the enemy will only harm you.” “Yeah, sympathizing with the enemy will only harm you,” she replied.
She sighed for a long time, feeling extremely melancholy. “The succession ceremony is less than half a month away. I hope time can pass faster.” “Time flies. Take a good rest for now.”
Matthew tried to reassure Veronica so she wouldn’t worry too much. “I want to meet Crayson in the afternoon. I need to put an end to this,” she said. She gave Matthew a determined expression.
Matthew’s obsidian eyes sparked as he listened to her words. He offered, ‘I’ll go with you.” He appeared concerned for Veronica and didn’t want her to visit Crayson by herself. “No need, I…”
Veronica was about to say something when she noticed that Matthew’s expression was off. She had a sudden thought and said again, “Earlier on, I asked you about your injuries, and you said you were poisoned?”
She had a sensitive grasp on what happened. Veronica appeared to be suspicious already. “There are so many people who want to take my life. I thought it would be solved with the current solution. However, I didn’t expect them to poison me quietly in the end.” Matthew avoided Veronica’s gaze and stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth. “You were following Eleanor the whole time. Why were you the only one who got poisoned?”
She asked Matthew about his injury that day at the hospital, but someone came in and the subject was switched, so she ignored it and didn’t much about it.
If it weren’t for the fact that his expression immediately changed when she said she was going to visit Crayson, Veronica might not have paid it much mind.
“I know that there are many people who want to kill you, but you only consumed compressed biscuits and your water in the mountains. How was it possible for someone to poison you? There was no chance for someone to approach you and poison you.”
Veronica grabbed Matthew’s hand. “Where did the watch that Crayson gave you that day go?” “In the palace,” replied Matthew. He explained, “I was taken to the palace by Eleanor, and everything on me was taken away.”
His phone and other belongings were still there because he took them off before entering the mountain for the hunting ceremony. The items were with his subordinates.
“Matt, you are lying!” Veronica’s eyes turned cold, and she immediately questioned, “With your temperament, you will investigate the matter after being attacked, and an eye for an eye. However, you carefully avoided discussing your poisoning after you left the palace.” Veronica frowned slightly and voiced at question about which she wasn’t even sure, “Did Crayson’s man attack you?”
“Why do you think that?” “I’ve already got rid of the people who poisoned me. There is no one behind the scenes except Anthony,” Matthew’said with a smile on his charming face as he raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
“My identity has now been revealed. Anthony is unable to get rid of me openly. How could he pass up the chance to get rid of me at the hunting ceremony?” He spread his hands as he said this. The man shook his head and sighed. “You just like to overthink.”
“You’re not lying?” “Would I lie about something like this?” Matthew looked as usual. Even if he was lying, he could mask his feelings well enough that Veronica would not notice.
The relationship between Crayson and Veronica was complicated. Although Matthew despised Crayson, Veronica would be overwhelmed if she learned that Crayson nearly killed her.
Therefore, Matthew chose to conceal the truth.
