Chapter 830 Something Happened to the Children
The hidden clan’s palace was situated on a higher mountain. The top of the mountain was flat, and a
palace was built there. If one stood on top of the palace and gazed below the mountain, one could see
the entirety of the hidden clan’s bustling city center, giving one a sense of authoritative superiority.
However, as soon as Veronica and Matthew got out of the parking lot, a flashy red SUV drove up to
them and honked. As the SUV pulled up, the person in the passenger seat poked their head out and
waved at the two. “Hey, we meet again.”
The one speaking was Zac. He opened the car door and thanked the driver, then closed the door and
walked right up to Veronica. “Are you here to attend the banquet too?”
Zac was in his usual silver-gray suit. It enhanced the prominent features on his face and made him
more handsome, but it highlighted the spots on his face as well.
He reached up and smoothed back his short blond hair, smiling in self-proclaimed suave. When she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaw Zac, Veronica decided not to humor him. She simply gave him a half-hearted response before
continuing her way forward.
Zac ignored Matthew, who was standing beside Veronica. Instead, he jogged up next to the woman
and walked alongside her.
“I know you still hate me because of what happened to Matthew, but what can you do? You can’t kill
me.” He shrugged, then said cockily, “However, I can allow you to make use of me. Let’s work together
to fight against the hidden clan. What do you think?”
When Zac finished speaking, Veronica paused in her steps and looked squarely at him, smiling in
disdain as she said, “Allow me to make use of you? Hah, what a humble position for you to be in,
Prince Zac.”
“You were forced to come to the hidden clan, and I know you’re not interested in becoming its leader. If
you’re willing to work with me, no matter what you ask of me, I’ll agree to it.”
His serious demeanor did look earnest and sincere for a moment. However, Veronica would rather
believe that ghosts existed instead of believing Zac. “Nice. Are you sure you’ll agree to anything I ask?”
she queried.
“Of course!” Zac nodded, full of confidence as he placed his hands in the pockets of his pants. He had
the aloof stance of a prince.
Veronica reached up to push back a strand of stray hair picked out by the wind. She stared coolly at
Zac, then parted her red lips as she said, “If I… ask for your life, would you give it to me?”
She spoke slowly on purpose, the murderous intent in her voice so strong that it couldn’t be dismissed.
“Hahaha, Missus Murphy, you’re indeed as bold as they come.”
Before this, Zac had always called Veronica by her name, but now, he was trying to get on her good
side by calling her ‘Missus Murphy’ in an intimate manner.
He continued, “I know a certain thing, and if I were to tell you about it, I trust that you’d be willing to
work with me.”
For an unknown reason, Veronica suddenly had a bad feeling about this. “What is it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZac smiled as he crossed his arms. Glancing at the man standing next to Veronica, he slowly said,
“After Matthew died, you came to the hidden clan alone, leaving your children under Yvette and Luke’s
care. Why do you trust them so much?”
“What do you mean by that?” Veronica immediately tensed up as she couldn’t help but step closer to
Zac, questioning, “What happened to my children?”
Zac raised an eyebrow and shrugged as he raised his right hand. “I, Zac, swear on the entire royal
court of Castron that I have never touched your children.”
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Veronica was on edge now as panic began creeping into her
heart.
However, Zac didn’t tell her the answer right away. Instead, he walked closer to her, then leaned in and
whispered in her ear, “I’ll be waiting for you at Elysium Hotel tonight.”
With that, Zac walked right past her and left the scene.
