"Is that so? Why not settle down here when we are old?" Veronica said jokingly. "This place is Heaven on Earth, and we will be away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. We can put everything behind, which is great, but we don't belong here."
As soon as they walked into the courtyard of Mountainside Gardens, they heard Mateo and Crayson arguing. Matthew and Veronica looked at each other and held tightly onto each other's hands before walking into the main hall.
"Why didn't you tell me that Matthew is actually Iron Pillar when you already knew about it?" Mateo pointed at Crayson furiously and fumed, "Her husband is just by her side, and you watched as I made a fool out of myself. Have you ever thought about my feelings?"
"I didn't get to tell you yet." Crayson never expected Matthew to reveal his identity in front of Mateo so abruptly. While they were arguing, Matthew and Veronica walked in from the courtyard.
Destiny, who was standing at the side, was startled at the revelation. Upon noticing them, she stared at Matthew and asked, "You are Matthew Kings?"
"Yes." Since Matthew did not have to put up an act anymore, he stood tall and reverted to his usual cold personality.
"Aren't you Iron Pillar? If you're Matthew, where is Iron Pillar? Don't tell me you've killed him?"
Destiny wasn't close to Iron Pillar, but she knew that he was one of her subordinates. If Matthew really did kill him, then they'd have unfinished business!
"Heh, do you think I'm as cold-blooded as all of you?" Matthew narrowed his gaze and pursed his lips as he exuded confidence.
"Since you've been in disguise, then you shouldn't have revealed yourself now." The furious Crayson pointed at Matthew and confronted him wide-eyed. "Don't tell me that you plan to go to Zac!" The wise Crayson had managed to guess Matthew's intention.
"What do you mean?" Mateo was puzzled.
