Three days later, Conrad purchased Halston Technology for 4.5 billion. One week later, Veronica got a bunch of people to keep watch around Pinewoods Villa to make sure that Matthew and the kids were protected. Then, she headed to Castron with Thomas and Crayson. They were planning to meet the hidden clan once they arrived.
…
Meanwhile, Conrad gave Zac a call. "I've already purchased Halston Technology, and Veronica and Crayson are on the way to Castron. I bet their next step will be to visit the hidden clan," Conrad uttered.
"I heard about this." Zac had a woman in his arms, and she was massaging the man's firm muscles. "We need to find a way to capture Matthew and bring him to Castron as well."
"I got it. I'll arrange for that to be done." Conrad was completely obedient to Zac.
"Once you capture him, there won't be anyone around to keep an eye over all of Matthew's companies. This would be the best time for you to snatch all his other companies. Don't let me down, Conrad," Zac added.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure everything goes well," he replied. As long as Veronica and Matthew weren't in the country, Conrad could easily destroy the rest of Matthew's companies. He would then purchase them at a low rate. He could leave Matthew with nothing to his name in just a span of two months. Whenever this thought flashed across Conrad's mind, he felt wildly excited.
After ending the call, Zac lowered his phone onto the table and gazed at the woman in front of him. She had the exact same face as Veronica, and she was dressed in a gray, casual outfit. She was smoking the cigarette between her fingers with a relaxed look on her face. "Are you going to tell me your plan now, Miss Larson?" he asked.
Tiffany had cut her hair so that the ends lay in an even line above her shoulders. She shot an icy glare at the woman sitting beside Zac before giving him a look. Zac immediately got what she meant. "Be a good girl and wait for me outside," he uttered while giving the girl a squeeze on her waist. The girl nodded and let herself out of the room.
"Alright. Speak up." Zac lifted his hand to bring his cigarette closer to his lips. He couldn't help but sigh when he next looked at Tiffany. "You and Veronica look practically like the same person. I would have thought you were her if you hadn't told me who you were," he said.
"Why would I want to have a partnership with you if I didn't look exactly like her, right, Prince Zac?" An icy look surfaced in Tiffany's eyes at the mention of Veronica. She despised Veronica after everything that she had gone through. Tiffany had to spend an entire year training herself just so that she could finally show herself in public. This also gave her the ability to negotiate with others.
For example, she could now get the prince of Castron, Zac, to do some stuff for her. "Alright. I'm all ears." Zac was prepared to hear what she had to say. "Prince Zac, I'm sure you understand why they've only attacked Matthew without ever attacking Veronica, right?" Tiffany started with a question.
Zac lowered his gaze and thought about the question with a serious look on his face. "Veronica is the next Young Lord of the hidden clan. I doubt anyone would have the guts to lay hands on her until she returns to the hidden clan. However, I'm not sure about the logic behind this. I might have heard a thing or two, but I'm not too sure," he uttered.
Even with the powerful resources he had, Zac didn't have the guts to attack Veronica either. Firstly, he was slightly afraid of the consequences. Secondly, Veronica was a key figure in the hidden clan. He had been intrigued by the hidden clan for a long time, so he wanted to wait for the chaos to arise when Veronica first met with the hidden clan. That way, he'd be able to proceed with his plan of sneaking into the clan.
"Well, let me tell you a thing or two about this," Tiffany uttered.
