Chapter 1259 We’re Family
"He said that your husband's dead. I won't allow it."
Matthew looked stubborn. "I've endured it for so long. I can't take it anymore."
"What? Roni, is he really Matthew? He didn't die? So, you and him have been together behind my
back?"
Mateo pointed at the two accusingly, his face filled with grievances and anger.
"Mateo, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth."
She sighed and pursed her red lips lightly. "The news of his death was fake. Your grandfather should
know, but he didn't tell you. You can ask him."
If it weren't for Mateo accidentally saying the wrong thing last night, revealing some information,
Veronica would have really thought that Matthew had acted so well that he successfully deceived
Crayson.
But she didn't expect Crayson to be so cunning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though he saw through Matthew's identity, he didn't say anything.
Veronica speculated in her heart that Crayson had probably told Hayley but hadn't told Destiny.
Otherwise, with Destiny's fiery temper, she would have already stood up and accused Matthew.
"My grandfather also knows?"
Mateo looked defeated and disappointed, "You... You guys are too much! Hmph!"
He was furious and turned around angrily, returning to Mountainside Gardens.
Watching his back, Veronica felt a headache. "Is it really a good idea to expose our identities now?"
"It is."
Matthew put his arm on Veronica's shoulder and watched Mateo leave, saying in a deep voice, "You
asked me to come down the mountain to talk about Zac. How can I prove Xavier's innocence if I don't
come forward?"
It was not convincing enough to confront Zac with just the identity of "Iron Pillar." Zac wouldn't believe it
either.
However, if Matthew revealed his identity and said that he was the one who destroyed Zac's hand
yesterday, then Zac would believe it.
Hearing his words, Veronica felt a warmth in her heart and some worries. "If Zac finds out it's you, have
you thought about how to protect yourself?"
"We'll take it step by step." Matthew didn't overthink.
"You injured Zac like that, and he still hasn't discovered your identity?"
Veronica was curious.
"When I went there, Zac was sleeping. After I disabled his arm, his screams attracted a lot of people.
There are many experts in Zac's courtyard, hidden somewhere. If I didn't go there last night, I'm afraid I
still wouldn't know that he brought so many experts."
Matthew briefly recounted what happened last night, but Veronica knew he must have experienced
many dangerous situations that he kept to himself.
She lowered her head, looked at the injured hand held in her palm, and said with heartache, "Matt,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthank you."
"Silly girl, we're family. Family shouldn't be so distant from each other."
Matthew smiled slightly and raised his hand to rub her head. "We should go back now. Finally, I can
take off the ugly disguise on our faces. If I don't remove it soon, my Roni might run away with some
young hunk."
"Haha!"
Veronica laughed at his self-deprecating joke and retorted, "Where did you get that idea? Nonsense."
"Let's go."
The man smiled and held her hand, heading toward Mountainside Gardens step by step.
The mountain was low; each step of the stairs was low, making walking comfortable and not tiring.
In the morning light—with a gentle breeze and the radiant glow shining on the earth, casting a layer of
orange hue on the scene—everything was as beautiful as a painting. The hidden clan felt like nirvana.
After revealing their identities, Matthew felt relaxed and took a deep breath. "The hidden clan is really
suitable for retirement."
