"That's what I was going to say."
Skyler grinned at Veronica and stuck his thumb up. "Not bad. I underestimated you."
He used to think that Veronica was an average woman who wasn't good enough for Matthew.
Now, he realized how shallow his assessment of her had been.
"Let's take a detour upward," Veronica said as she headed up the mountain to avoid the rocky plane.
Just then, an unusual commotion rang out. It sounded as if a group of people was clambering through the vegetation. The rustling sounds were very exceptionally easy to catch.
Veronica and Skyler glanced in the direction where the sounds came from and exchanged looks before breaking off into a run.
"Roni!"
All of a sudden, Mateo shot out of nowhere. He stood in front of Veronica and waved her over. "Come with me."
He glanced at Skyler before swiftly withdrawing his gaze without saying anything.
Skyler knew who Mateo was, too, so he didn't ask any questions.
"Quick. They're planning an ambush," Mateo pressed.
Veronica nodded and turned to Skyler. "Let's go."
"Yeah," Skyler replied.
The trio began running up the mountain.
Dominik and Tiffany spotted everything from their position nearby, and Dominik said, "Your chance to seek vengeance is upon you. I will get someone to lure the two men away. I'll leave the rest to you. Don't let me down."
Tiffany clenched her fists as she glared balefully at the three people who were running away. She nodded staunchly. "I won't let you down."
Dominik patted her on the shoulder. "I can't be seen. You go ahead."
How could Prince Dominik of the hidden clan show up at a time like this?
He made sure he could extract himself from the situation if necessary.
