Chapter 962 The Poisoned Needle

It was the dream of most men to join the harem of the young leader of the hidden clan, who was poised

to be the head soon. Alas, the wealthy Matthew did not even need her riches, and she had nothing left

to attract his attention. To put it bluntly, he was not interested in Eleanor's possessions.

"Thanks." Veronica took a seat beside her and offered a sincere thank you.

"What for?" Eleanor turned to the side, resting her arm on the back of the chair. There was a gleeful

smile on her porcelain face. "I never promised to give up on pursuing him."

She was only forced to give up after she failed to get his romantic interest. It was rather regrettable, but

at least she witnessed the true love between Matthew and Veronica.

Hearing that, Veronica smiled but said nothing. Although Eleanor refused to admit it, Veronica could tell

she had been less obsessed with Matthew.

"By the way, I heard about you in the palace. You're something else. How could you drive a car off that

high mountain? Weren't you afraid of dying?" The more Eleanor got to know Veronica, the more she

admired the woman and understood the reason behind Matthew's deep love.

Veronica was a woman who shined brightly; she was beautiful, wise, and decisive. No man could resist

her charm.

"Death awaits everyone at the end of life. It's just a matter of time. It's nothing to be afraid of," Veronica

answered with a smile.

"You're awesome!" Eleanor gave her a thumbs up. "I'm very impressed."

"You were waterboarded by your mother for saving Matt's life. I'm immensely grateful but feel sorry for

you. But, more than anything, I admire your courage," Veronica confessed her thought. Then, she

added, "You could've had Matthew to yourself if you sealed his memory. Why did you help him

escape?"

"Ah, drop that." Eleanor waved dismissively and took a sip of the tea as she shook her head. "I had a

change of heart. At first, I wanted badly to show off my heroism in front of my master, hoping to change

his heart, but he was heartless! My efforts were in vain, and I even got into trouble."

Eleanor bluffed with a straight face. Veronica watched on, pretending to believe in her words. "Oh, that

must've been a huge loss."

"Right? I thought so too." Eleanor lifted her thin brow. "So, how are you going to repay me?"

"Shall I give you my hand in marriage to repay you?" Veronica joked.

"Sure. If you divorce Master now, I don't mind adding you to my harem."

"Is that for real?"

"Of course… not!" Eleanor laughed loudly. "I'm straight!"

The women chatted away happily. Moments later, a thought crossed Veronica's mind. "You were with

Matt on the mountain that day. How did he get injured?"

"That day?"

Eleanor carefully recalled the memories from the day of the incident. "That puzzled me too. He was in a

rush to search for you and gave me a watch, telling me to press the button if I came across assassins.

The button releases poisoned needles. I was wounded that time and pointed the watch at myself. I

threatened him that I'd shoot the needle at myself if he left me. If I died, he'd need to take responsibility,

but he still left! I pressed the button out of anger, but the needle was released in his direction!"

Veronica's mind went blank.
