Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 970

Veronica could vividly see the struggle and pain in Crayson's eyes. Even so, she did not back down in the slightest.

"If you want this frail life of mine, then I'll give it to you." He slowly lifted his head and sighed. "But, now is not the time. The clan's fate has not been decided, and I have a mission to accomplish. When you're firmly seated as the head of the clan, you can take my life at any time."

"Huh…" She laughed mockingly. Reaching out her hand, she pulled out several tissues to wipe the blood from the palm of her hand. "What if I refuse? Will you threaten me with the lives of my two children in Bloomstead?"

Bullseye.

Therefore, he did not bother to hide his intentions and earnestly replied, "Both you and Matthew are part of the hidden clan. I am simply worried about the safety of your children. You must know that Tanya is eyeing them. I'm merely keeping them safe."

It was true that Tanya harbored ill intentions toward the two children due to Veronica's identity; she wanted to use them to threaten Veronica. However, Crayson was one step ahead by whisking the children away and disrupting her plans in one swoop.

"Are you implying I should thank you for your efforts instead?"

Veronica was not surprised that Crayson had voluntarily admitted to his involvement. From the day she entered the hidden clan, she had known they would never leave her children alone. At the same time, she also understood that they would not harm her children for the time being.

"I had no other choice." He spread his hands and sighed helplessly. "I had to act for the sake of the millions of pitiful citizens living in miserable conditions."

In his opinion, Tanya was the cause of many impoverished citizens living in the slums of the hidden clan. "Tanya Ledger is delusional and incompetent. She is not worthy of becoming the head of the clan," he strongly emphasized once more.

Veronica smiled and remained silent. In her eyes, the so-called profound understanding of righteousness he so often preached was nothing more than a joke. Performing nasty deeds under the banner of justice was a vile act.

"Where are the children?" She finally raised the question after a brief hesitation.
