Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1235

Coincidentally, Crayson was also looking at Veronica, his murky eyes deep and mysterious.

She quickly averted her gaze and glared at Mateo. "Master Crayson is right. You should focus on protecting yourself with those mediocre skills of yours."

Although she said so, Mateo's words echoed in her mind. "He refuses to let me protect you and says that Iron Pillar will do everything to keep you safe."

Crayson usually kept a low profile and rarely exaggerated when he spoke, so these words sent her into deep thought.

"Veronica, when you went to the palace today, did they mention the hidden clan's hunting banquet to you?" Hayley, who had arrived in the morning and had been waiting for Veronica, couldn't help but ask when she saw her return.

"Yes," Veronica answered readily and smiled. "They asked me to participate in some hunting ceremony, but I'm not interested, so I declined."

This time, Veronica had no choice but to attend the hunting banquet, but she wanted to see how Hayley would convince her.

"You declined?"

Hayley was surprised and glanced at Crayson, then quickly said, "This hunting ceremony is a grand event that takes place once every ten years. The participants are all prominent figures of the hidden clan. Tanya invited me and your master to participate in the ceremony and said that I could bring you along and publicly reveal your identity. This is a great opportunity to reveal your identity. Why did you refuse?"

"Oh. I only need to attend the hunting event, not actually participate in the hunt, right?" Veronica pretended to be confused. "That's fine, then. I'll attend without hunting."
