Chapter 1234 Playing the Cards Perfectly

After leaving the palace in the afternoon, Matthew drove the car with Veronica seated in the passenger

seat, lost in thought.

Matthew began. "Tanya is truly cunning. During the hunting ceremony, all the officials of the hidden clan

will be invited. Notably, she's arranged for Hayley to attend alongside you. This is an excellent

opportunity for her to publicly introduce you to everyone in the hidden clan, which will help you in your

future competition for the position of head of the clan."

"Hayley would never refuse. There is no reason to." He sighed, feeling melancholic.

Veronica also sighed as she said, "So, Tanya plans to invite me into the trap. She wants me to

participate in the hunting ceremony and eliminate me during the event. After all, everyone participating

in the ceremony must sign a death waiver."

She scoffed lightly while shaking her head. "She has played her cards perfectly. By enticing Hayley to

invite me to the ceremony, it will be widely known. How could I decline the hunting by then? If I do, I will

lose the support of the people and bring shame to the Elrods. If I want to compete for the position of

head of the clan in the future again, I'm afraid Hayley's supporters will also turn against me."

It was an unwritten rule of the hidden clan that the prince and the young master were obliged to

participate in the hunting ceremony unless there were exceptional circumstances.

Only the courageous could become the ruler of the hidden clan and lead them to prosperity. This

ideology deeply resonated within the hearts of the hidden clan members. Given the prevalence of

martial artists in the clan, those lacking in combat skills were looked down upon.

Matthew replied with concern, "This time, not only must you take part in the hunting ceremony, but you

also have to strive to emerge as the victor."

Danger arrived sooner than I expected. The participants in the hunting grounds were all outstanding

individuals, and many of them were assassins sent by Tanya. How many people could Hayley arrange

in order to protect Veronica? It's a life-or-death situation.

Both of them fell into silence.

After returning to Mountainside Gardens, they saw Hayley seated in the hall as soon as they entered.

Veronica glanced at the table in the living room. There were still five or six teacups on the table,

indicating the recent presence of several visitors.

Then, she looked at Matthew, who nodded. "Master Waylen, Madam Hayley, I'll go upstairs first."

As a part-time chef and bodyguard, he didn't have the qualifications to listen to their conversation.

"Okay, go ahead." Crayson nodded.

Veronica made her way to the sofa and settled in. Before Hayley could speak, she said, "We should

hire an additional chef. There are more and more things to do, and it's unfair to expect him to prepare

three meals daily while also ensuring my safety."

Her concern for Matthew was sincere, yet she had withheld her proposal until now to avoid rousing

suspicion from Crayson.

"Although Iron Pillar has excellent culinary skills, it's not good to let him be a part-time chef and a

bodyguard at the same time."

Mateo agreed with Veronica's words, so he smirked. "From now on, we won't let him accompany you

anymore. He can focus solely on being a chef. Otherwise, his culinary skills would be wasted."

Since the last fight with Liam, Crayson had instructed Mateo to reflect at home. However, worried about

potential retaliation from Liam, he arranged for Matthew to protect Veronica.

No matter how much Mateo pleaded during this period, he never allowed him to be with Veronica

again.

After Mateo finished speaking, he turned to Veronica. "Roni, please agree. I've been begging Grandpa

all this time, but he refuses to let me protect you. He even said that Iron Pillar would protect you with

his life. Tsk, he just looks down on me."

Veronica, in the midst of pouring herself a glass of water, momentarily paused as Mateo's words

reached her ears. Her gaze instinctively shifted toward Crayson.

Her concern for Matthew was sincere, yet she had withheld her proposal until now to avoid rousing

suspicion from Crayson.
