Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 834

Coincidentally, Crayson was looking at her as well.

His muddled eyes were dark with unfathomable depths, where treachery lurked.

Veronica quickly averted her gaze and glared at Mateo. "Crayson is right. You'd be better off protecting yourself with your half-baked skills."

Even though she said that, Mateo's words resounded in her mind. 'He won't let me protect you no matter what. He even said that Iron Pillar will put his life on the line to protect you.'

Crayson had always kept a low profile, and he never exaggerated his words.

Those words of his were intriguing.

"Veronica, you went to the palace today, right? Did they mention anything about the hunting banquet of the hidden clan?" Hayley came over in the morning and had been waiting for Veronica ever since.

When she saw Veronica returning home, she couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, yes," Veronica replied readily, then smiled and said, "They asked me to participate in the hunting festivities, but I wasn't interested, so I declined."

For the hunting banquet this time, Veronica didn't have a choice and was obliged to attend.

However, she wanted to see how Hayley would convince her.

"You declined?" Hayley was a little surprised, then she tilted her head to exchange glances with Crayson before hastily saying, "The hunting festivities this year is a large-scale hunting event that happens every ten years. All the officials of the hidden clan will be attending. Tanya invited me and your master to participate, and she even said that we can bring you along and announce your identity to everyone present. This is the perfect chance to announce your identity, so why did you decline?"
