Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)

Veronica continued in a determined tone, "Involving yourself in a wealthy family is a serious matter, do you understand?"

"I do."

Shirley replied with a worried expression, "That's why I want to give it a try."

"Alright. Go ahead and give it a shot since you have feelings for him. That way, you won't find any regret, even if it doesn't work out in the end. Otherwise, it will be a regret you'll carry for a lifetime if you never try."

She emphasized that taking a chance was better than regretting not trying at all, even if met with failure in the end.

"Thank you, Veronica." Shirley smiled sweetly as her mood was greatly improved.

Meanwhile, in the dining room downstairs...

Matthew cast a chilly glance at Skyler. "Are you serious this time?"

Skyler continued eating breakfast with a fork. He nodded as he chewed his food. "I think so."

"Let's set aside Shirley's relationship with Roni and discuss Shirley. She's an innocent lady. You should be mindful in your actions."

Shirley and Veronica had spent time together for two years, and they shared a bond so close that they saw themselves as sisters. Besides, Shirley had also been a great help to Matthew during that period.

He had even gifted her a car for this reason.

Matthew had interacted a lot with Shirley and found himself quite fond of the straightforward young lady because of Veronica.

Perhaps he had grown to like everything about Veronica, including those close to her.

He continued, "Shirley is unlike any other woman. Roni won't spare me if you hurt her, and I won't let you get away either!"

Matthew had made his point clear.

"What? Am I that despicable in your eyes?"

Skyler put down his fork as he was displeased.

However, Matthew paid him no attention as he poured himself a cup of tea. "You know better than I do what happened after Sofia abandoned you. I'll leave it at that."

He took a sip of the tea and changed the subject following that. "I'm here today to discuss the hunting ceremony of the hidden clan."

...

Matthew and Veronica left the One Piece Restaurant and drove to Zac's residence half an hour later.

Tanya had arranged a marvelous living space for him due to his unique status after becoming part of the hidden clan.

There was quite a crowd present today because of Zac's injury.

When they arrived, they noticed the parking lot was nearly full of cars, and the numbers on the vehicles' license plates appeared strikingly familiar to them.

They were confronted by guards left and right as soon as they exited the car and reached the courtyard entrance.

The guards immediately intervened when they saw the two of them approaching.

"Halt. Identify yourselves," they commanded in the hidden tongue.

Veronica had a translation device on but wasn't versed in the local tongue, so she only looked to Matthew.

Matthew introduced themselves and explained their purpose to the guards.

"Very well, proceed," one of the guards said as he ushered them forward.

Just then, a voice was suddenly heard from behind.

"Hey, is that you, Master?"

The voice was so familiar that Matthew didn't need to look back to discern the speaker.

Eleanor, who was in a crimson gown with blue and white crochets on the sleeves and adorned with embroidered motifs, showed up.

She wore silver ornaments on her head and had meticulously applied makeup, accentuating her fair complexion. Her pretty and alluring appearance even outshone her scarlet attire, and she exuded a bewitching aura.

Even Veronica couldn't resist taking a few glances at her captivating figure.

"You're here too, Veronica." Eleanor walked over and stood right beside Veronica, greeting her with a smile.

"What a coincidence," Veronica replied with a smile.

However, he only swept his gaze indifferently over Eleanor before heading inside with Veronica.

"Wait, Master. How could you do that? Are you seriously going to ignore my presence? I specifically waited for you here at the entrance."

She was displeased as she felt disregarded.
