That way, Crayson could shake off Matthew, who was a burden to him. It was because Matthew and Veronica's relationship would make her linger on Bloomstead, which would be a drawback to her once she took over the position as the leader of the hidden clan.
Matthew was not an easy opponent and he might be a threat considering his own power. Hence, Crayson had racked his brain and thought of separating the both of them.
It was no wonder that Crayson was opposed to their relationship. However, Veronica insisted on staying together with Matthew, and he had no choice but to agree on it.
Thinking about it, everyone was wreathed in smiles on their wedding day, except for Crayson, who had a long face.
In fact, he already had plans to eliminate Matthew so as to cut the ties between her and Bloomstead.
After that, as Destiny had mentioned, they would bring Veronica's kids over here once she secured her position in the clan. Of course, her adoptive parents—Tony and Daniella—would be here too when the time comes.
They were too old and too young to protest anyway, hence they were seen as a pawn in chess.
What a fabulous plan that is.
"Thomas is an outsider. He cannot come and these are the rules. I'm worried that you might oppose it, so I added some drugs. No matter how I put it, it's because this old man is afraid of you. You're stubborn, and it won't do anything good when we get into a fight."
Veronica snorted and smiled sarcastically. His 'reasonable' explanation truly impressed her.
Crayson and Destiny's conversation kept ringing in her ears. At that moment, the way Veronica looked at him was completely unfamiliar.
Perchance, it was her first time seeing his true colors. Thus, her innocence and ignorance were to blame for.
It is because of one thing—my foolishness!
It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fool. Fortunately, Matthew was still alive and she did not have to live under the shadows of self-reproach.
Then, she rose to her feet and stretched her body. She turned around and left the room without sparing a look at Crayson.
