Chapter 833 Replace the Chef

They left the palace in the afternoon. Matthew was driving while Veronica sat sullenly in the passenger

seat. Matthew said, “Tanya is a cunning old fox. She would invite all the hidden clan officials to the

hunting festival, so Hayley was asked to attend along with you. This is an opportune chance for Hayley

to publicly introduce you to the hidden clan, and it would also serve as a foundation for you to fight for

the throne. Hayley definitely won’t decline the invitation. There’s no reason to.” Matthew sighed

forlornly.

Veronica sighed as well. “In other words, Tanya’s plot is to let me have a taste of my own medicine.

She wants me to join in the hunt, then she would get rid of me during the event. After all, those who

enter the hunt have to sign a mortality contract.”

She clicked her tongue and shook her head, lamenting, “Tanya is gaining the upper hand. She will lure

Hayley to get me to join the festivities, and when everyone knows of my existence, I won’t have a

reason to decline the hunt. If I say no, the people would be disappointed in me right away, and I would

be a disgrace to the Elrods. When the Elrods fight for the throne in the future, even Hayley’s supporters

might switch sides.”

There was an unwritten rule in the hidden clan that during the hunting festival, the princes and young

lords of the hidden clan were obliged to participate under most circumstances.

Only the brave could be the head of the hidden clan and lead the clan to prosperity.

This was a firm belief in the hearts of every hidden clan member.

Since most of the hidden clan members were trained in combat, they looked down on the weak.

“This time around, not only do you have to participate in the hunting event, but you also have to win it.”

Matthew was greatly worried.

The danger presented itself earlier than he had expected.

The participants of the hunting event were all top hunters. How many of them were assassins sent by

Tanya, and how many people could Hayley arrange to protect Veronica?

It was a situation with only a tiny chance of survival.

The two fell silent.

Once back at Mountainside Gardens, the two had just entered the hall when they saw Hayley sitting

there.

Veronica glanced at the table in the living room. A few teacups were still laid out on the table, yet to be

cleaned up. It was apparent that several people had visited this house before they returned.

She glanced at Matthew, who nodded and said, “Master Waylen, Madam Hayley, I’ll be taking my leave

now.”

As a chef and part-time bodyguard, Matthew still had no right to listen to their conversation.

“You may go.”

Crayson nodded.

Veronica walked up to the couch and sat down. Before Hayley could say anything, she suggested,

“Let’s hire a new chef later. Things are getting busier these days, and you can’t expect him to protect

me on top of making three meals a day for us.”

She was earnestly concerned about Matthew, but she endured until the right moment to voice her

suggestion so that Crayson wouldn’t suspect anything.

“Even though Iron Pillar is skilled, it isn’t appropriate for him to work as both a chef and a bodyguard.”

Mateo agreed with Veronica’s statement. Then, he grinned and said, “As such, Iron Pillar won’t be

following you around in the future. He just has to focus on cooking, or his cooking skills will be wasted.”

Since his fight with Liam, Mateo was grounded by Crayson to rethink his actions. To prevent Liam from

exacting revenge, Matthew was also sent to protect Veronica.

These days, no matter how much Mateo begged, Crayson never once allowed him to stay by

Veronica’s side.

When Mateo finished speaking, he asked Veronica, “Roni, just say yes, pretty please? I keep begging

Grandpa, but he won’t let me protect you no matter what. He even said that Iron Pillar will put his life on

the line to protect you. Tsk, he’s just underestimating me.”

Veronica, who was a little thirsty, poured a glass of water for herself. When she heard what Mateo said,

her hand froze while holding the glass, and she subconsciously looked up at Crayson.
