Chapter 691
Crayson did not plan on letting Thomas, an outsider, to join the hidden clan from the very start.
Veronica had her guesses, yet she had not expected Crayson to have a plan in mind, which he kept
from her.
At the thought of being all alone upon joining the hidden clan, she was touched. If it was not for
Matthew's help, it would have been difficult for her to go against the whole clan and extricate from
them.
"Yes, Master." Destiny nodded with solemnity. "Will the leader be mad if we keep her in the dark?"
"This brat has always had her opinion on everything since young. It'll be an issue if she knows about it."
He heaved a sigh and looked at the 'unconscious' Veronica. In a serious tone, he said, "Besides, she
lost her babies after returning to the clan. She's not going to stay here for a long time anyway."

Thomas was Veronica's only pillar of strength, yet they lost him. Thus, it rendered her escape difficult
and it was basically driving her to a dead end.
Still...
"Won't she hate you?" Destiny questioned.
Frowning, he leaned against the seat and sighed. It took him a couple of moments to reply. "So what if
she hates me? What else can I do? It's for the sake of our clan."
"It must be hard for you, Mr. Crayson. You've been alone for a long time for the sake of the clan. You
didn't get married and devoted your whole life for us instead. You're a great man."
Regardless of Crayson's method, his devotion for the clan alone was admirable.
He kept quiet, but the 'unconscious' Veronica felt heartache. Ever since she was little, he looked after
and pampered her as if she was his biological daughter.
Although she called him an old geezer at times, she considered him as her family and her grandfather.
However, who would have expected such turns of events?
She was in a dilemma right now. Should she resent Crayson, or be grateful to him, or praise his loyalty
for the hidden clan?
The more she thought about it, the scarier it was.
Fortunately, Veronica took notice of his reaction when she drank the water. Otherwise, she would not
have known his true thoughts.
Even so, she reasoned his actions as a result of his sense of responsibility, that he would never hurt
her no matter what. After all, she grew up under his care and there was affection in between.
She pretended to be asleep along the way. When the car finally stopped, she heard people talking and
the unconscious Thomas
was then handed over to someone else.

someone carried her aboard a ship before locking her up in a room.
Lying in bed, she dared not move a muscle in a worry that there was someone else in the room.
Following the long wait was the ship's departure.
As she heard the vague chattering from outside, she made a rough guess that there should be at least
twenty people onboard. Suddenly, nature called.
She opened her eyes slowly. After confirming that there was no one in the room, she got out of the bed
and headed for the restroom. To her luck, the room came with a restroom. Otherwise, they could have
found out that she was awake.
After finishing her business, she flushed the toilet and scurried to the bed to pretend to be asleep. Not
only did she imitate her previous posture, she made sure the creases on the blanket were the same.

Soon, the door opened and someone came into the room.
"It'll take about three to five days to arrive at the hidden clan. She can't always be sleeping, though."
