Chapter 781 They Fight
Liam tossed away his wine glass and smiled lecherously. “Miss Veronica, I-I like you. C-Can you be my
girlfriend? Hehe, I’m the prince of the Hidden Clan. I’ll pamper you with all the money in the world if you
become my girlfriend. What do you think?”
The delirious Liam pounced on Veronica and dragged her into his embrace while mumbling
incoherently.
Unfortunately, Veronica was currently plagued with an intense headache, as if a sledgehammer was
pounding her brain. Hence, she felt dizzy, disoriented, and utterly miserable. Still, when Liam suddenly
lunged at her, she suddenly regained her senses.
“Liam, what are you doing?! Let go of me!” She desperately tried to shove him away, but he wouldn’t
budge.
“Darling, just be with me. Your husband is dead, and I like you. So, just be my woman, okay?”
“Are you out of your mind? Get lost!” She struggled and tried her best to resist the crazy man. But for
some unknown reason, she felt strangely weak.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot too far away, Matthew noticed that Veronica was no longer where she was, and as soon as he
turned around, he was immediately greeted by the scene happening by the bonfire. His face turned
sullen and gloomy in a blink of an eye as he rushed toward them. Shortly after, a man’s loud and shrill
scream echoed through the venue.
Everyone turned around in confusion and shock, only to see Iron Pillar holding Liam down on the
ground and beating him violently while Liam was screaming at the top of his lungs.
“What’s going on?”
“Let’s go over and have a look.”
The group of people hurried over to the bonfire. Hendrey and Eleanor also stopped their spar and
followed suit. The soldiers who were guarding nearby rushed over and surrounded them as they saw
Liam being beaten.
“Hey! How dare you beat the prince?!”
“Take him down!”
“Veronica, has your bodyguard gone crazy?!”
“Tell him to stop! Hurry!”
Veronica still possessed a degree of rationality despite her current condition. When she saw that
Matthew had beaten Liam so severely that the latter’s mouth was bleeding, she scrambled to her feet
and tugged on Matthew’s arm. “Stop! Stop it!”
Alas, Matthew couldn’t hear anything as he was filled with rage. He brushed Veronica off, grabbed
Liam’s collar, and served him with a brutal right hook. Liam was tossed back about four to five meters
and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The soldiers surrounded Matthew and rebuked him in the Hidden Clan’s language, “Halt! Don’t move!”
Everyone was bewildered, but Xavier keenly spotted Veronica’s slightly disheveled state and
questioned with a frown, “Did he touch you?”
His remarks quickly caught everyone’s attention, and they soon came to a correct conclusion about
what had happened.
Dominik marched forward and said with displeasure, “You can call Liam a womanizer, but he would
never do such a ridiculous thing in public. Miss Veronica, I hope you’re not trying to push all the blame
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon my brother!”
Veronica was on the opposing side of the Ledger royal family, so it was possible that she tried to stir up
a controversial issue.
After Dominik finished speaking, Matthew and Xavier stared at him, but this time, before Matthew could
say anything, Xavier snapped, “Let’s ask Prince Liam and see what’s going on. Then, we’ll know the
truth. So, don’t start pointing fingers without knowing all the facts.”
Therefore, he walked toward Liam, grabbed him by the collar, and shook him. “Hey, what exactly did
you do to Roni just now?” He chose to stand up for Veronica because he loved her.
As his wife, Antheena was angered by his actions. Her hands balled into fists as she watched her legal
husband coming to another woman’s defense. There was an unconcealed hint of ruthlessness and
jealousy in her eyes as she glared at Veronica.
“Ugh… Release me…”
Liam pushed Xavier away and pounced at Veronica again. “Hehe! Miss Veronica, b-be my woman! I-I’ll
take care of you. I-I don’t mind that you’re a widow—Argh!”
Before he could get close to her, Xavier was so furious that his forehead veins bulged. He mercilessly
kicked Liam in the back. As a result, Liam fell to the ground with a thud, and it just so happened that his
head fell right by Veronica’s foot.
