Chapter 619 Keeping Veronica Safe
There was another uncle of Matthew’s on Conrad’s table, who toasted with the couple and landed his
gaze onto Conrad.
While the couple was holding the glasses in their hands, Matthew piped up, “Uncle Conrad, thanks for
carving the time to attend our wedding.”

In spite of the undercurrent between them, they appeared serene on the outside. Conrad rose to his
feet to clink his wine glass with theirs and a forceful smile appeared on his handsome face.
“Congratulations. Wishing you a long and happy marriage.”
“Thank you, Uncle Conrad,” responded Veronica as the dark glint in his eyes went unnoticed. How
could his light smile remain when his gaze turned sinister? They spoke of totally different emotions and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtno one could see through him.
After he downed his drink, he patted Matthew’s shoulder. “Once the guests leave, the both of you gotta
clean up the ‘mess’.”
The so-called mess was a warning to Matthew. It was as if Conrad was trying to say, “If the two of you
try to leave right now, it’ll be a war.”
Matthew raised his eyebrow and smiled nonchalantly. “That is for sure. It’s our wedding. It’s natural for
us to be the last ones to leave.”
“Glad to hear that,” replied Conrad before he seated himself.
In the meantime, his ominous gaze swept across Veronica and she happened to notice his expression.
Still, she merely smiled at him and shrugged it off.
The next table was full of Matthew’s friends. Aside from his close friends, there were some that
Veronica did not know of.
…
The guests began to disperse after 2.00PM. Matthew asked someone to drive Elizabeth home, but she
kept holding Veronica’s hand tightly with a bright smile. “Roni, you’ve finally married Matthew. My wish
is finally granted.”
Matthew had given Veronica a hefty amount of dowry, yet Elizabeth was not satisfied with it. However,
she let it go when she thought of her identity in the Murphy Family. She was the only daughter in that
family, hence everything would be bestowed to her in the end.
“Grandma, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you this happy.” Veronica gave her a hug. “Mrs.
Coleman will take you home. It must’ve been a hectic day for you.”
“Alright, alright.” The grinning old woman nodded vigorously before leaving the hotel with Yura.
The newly wed couple walked to the door to watch Elizabeth enter the car and leave. Finally, their
hearts sank down from their throats.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkyler came to them and the ever-breezy man was wearing a solemn face. “Will she be in danger?”
“Conrad doesn’t have the guts to hurt her,” reassured Matthew, who looked across in a distance while
clasping onto Veronica’s hand.
“Why?” Skyler could not follow.
“He hasn’t revealed himself in public, but that doesn’t mean that he’s dead. As long as he’s still
somewhere, Conrad won’t be able to lay a finger on her.”
“But why is he doing this to you?”
Hearing that, Veronica glanced at Skyler like he was an idiot. “Of course it’s because Matt’s getting in
his way to the ‘throne’.”
“Woah. Roni, you’re getting smarter!” Skyler lifted his eyebrow and smiled, but his eyes were full of
distress.
When they returned to the parlor, Crayson and Destiny came up to them. Matthew’s footsteps came to
a halt as he turned sideways to face Veronica with a smile. “Head on with Master Crayson and Destiny
first. Good girl.”
