Chapter 908 Figuring Out What Happened
Two minutes later, six people appeared from different places and walked over to Zac.
"Matthew Kings got injured, Your Highness. Princess Eleanor took him away in a helicopter. Our plan
fell through," one of them reported.
"How useless!"
Zac glared murderously at the man who spoke and walked over to kick him. "What's the point of
keeping you around?!"
"Princess Eleanor kept following Matthew Kings the whole time, and her hidden guards were in the
vicinity as well. We couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make our move."
"Are you saying that she's protecting Matthew?"
Zac found it suspicious.
If Eleanor was trying to protect Matthew, it meant that she knew who he was.
However, Zac couldn't figure out how Matthew would be of any value to Eleanor.
"Yes," the man replied.
Zac came up the mountain because he wanted to witness Matthew's death for himself before breaking
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe news to Veronica. He wanted to see her anguish and torment with his own two eyes.
However, he wasn't going to get the chance to do that anymore.
In that case, what was the point of sticking around any longer?
"Kill Veronica Murphy!"
He stared down the mountain with a cold, menacing gaze as he announced darkly, "If she makes it out
of here alive, you certainly won't be."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The men nodded at once.
Zac got up and turned back. Someone would come and escort him out.
The four people who went down the mountain seemed to be relaxed and enjoying each other's
company, but every one of them harbored thoughts of their own.
Veronica was wary of both Zac and Nelson, so after mulling things over, she decided to leave them and
head off alone to look for Matthew.
She was going to leave now before Zac came over. It was safer for her if he didn't know which path
she'd taken.
"Ugh…"
All of a sudden, she clutched her abdomen and let out a soft groan.
Xavier noticed what happened and quickly asked in concern, "What's the matter?"
"My stomach hurts a little. You guys go ahead. I'll deal with nature's call," Veronica replied with a
sheepish smile before ducking into the forest.
"Women are so much trouble."
Liam shook his head. "Come. Let's go down first."
"I'll wait for her here." Xavier was still worried about her.
"Sure. Let's go, Nelson." Liam waved Nelson over.
"Alright," Nelson agreed as he limped along behind Liam and followed the latter down.
Once Veronica was sure they couldn't see her anymore, she began making her way toward Mount
Gazette.
However, she abruptly came to a halt.
"Wait a minute."
Her brows furrowed in thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInitially, she and Matthew planned on waiting for each other by the lake between Mount Manos and
Mount Gazette.
The five of them had traveled at an extremely slow pace today, so they had to have fallen behind
Matthew.
Who is he teamed up with? Without a doubt, it has to be Eleanor.
Out of Tanya's five children, Veronica had only met Dominik, Eleanor, and Liam. She'd never seen the
other two before and didn't know anything about them.
Dominik had a steady personality. Both he and Liam posed no threats to the position of the head of the
clan.
Even though Tanya's other two children were girls, Veronica heard that they were fairly average in
every way, so they wouldn't be prime candidates to inherit the position either.
Therefore, all four of them wouldn't be in any danger.
Thus, the only one who would've gotten injured was… "Eleanor?"
If Matthew's in the same group as Eleanor, he'd have to protect her. If anything happens to her, both he
and I would be the prime suspects and in danger of getting executed.
