Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1235 A Carefully Laid Out Plan

Coincidentally, Crayson was also looking at Veronica, his murky eyes deep and mysterious.

She quickly averted her gaze and glared at Mateo. "Master Crayson is right. You should focus on protecting yourself with those mediocre skills of yours." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Although she said so, Mateo's words echoed in her mind. "He refuses to let me protect you and says that Iron Pillar will do everything to keep you safe."

Crayson usually kept a low profile and rarely exaggerated when he spoke, so these words sent her into deep thought.

"Veronica, when you went to the palace today, did they mention the hidden clan's hunting banquet to you?" Hayley, who had arrived in the morning and had been waiting for Veronica, couldn't help but ask when she saw her return.

"Yes," Veronica answered readily and smiled. "They asked me to participate in some hunting ceremony, but I'm not interested, so I declined."

This time, Veronica had no choice but to attend the hunting banquet, but she wanted to see how Hayley would convince her.

"You declined?"

Hayley was surprised and glanced at Crayson, then quickly said, "This hunting ceremony is a grand event that takes place once every ten years. The participants are all prominent figures of the hidden clan. Tanya invited me and your master to participate in the ceremony and said that I could bring you

along and publicly reveal your identity. This is a great opportunity to reveal your identity. Why did you refuse?"

"Oh. I only need to attend the hunting event, not actually participate in the hunt, right?" Veronica pretended to be confused. "That's fine, then. I'll attend without hunting."

"Well..."

Hayley was at a loss for words after Veronica stopped her from saying what she wanted, and she looked to Crayson for help, gesturing for him to speak.

Crayson held a cigarette in his hand and took a few puffs. "If you attend the event, you will definitely have to participate in the hunt. Not only that, but you also have to excel in it. You may not know this, but although it's a hunting event, it also tests the abilities of the leader of the hidden clan. The leaders of the hidden clan in the past have all shone in the hunting event, proving their own abilities and gaining the trust of others."

"Yes, in the hidden clan, strength is respected." Hayley sighed, her brows furrowed with anxiety.

Mateo, who was sitting beside her, sat up straight, his anxious gaze fixed on Veronica. "Doesn't that mean Roni will be in danger? Eleanor and her elite soldiers want to get rid of her. It would be easy for them to do so during the hunting event."

The plan was carefully laid out, and the conspiracy was obvious.

Veronica lowered her eyelids and remained silent. She simply picked up her teacup, took a sip, and put it down. When she looked up, she noticed that both Hayley and Crayson were staring at her intently.

"Why are you all looking at me? I'm weak and might not even be able to match Eleanor, let alone participate in the hunt. No, it's not possible."

She waved her hand repeatedly, rejecting the idea. Then, she suddenly slapped her knee as if she had just realized something. "Tiffany. Rome wasn't built in a day, and this is a perfect opportunity for her to shine. How can we miss it?"

Her proposal was grave, and her tone and emotions were normal. However, the two people sitting across from her could sense the sarcasm in her words.

In the past, Tiffany had been pampered by Floch and his wife, living a life of luxury and enjoying the treatment of a wealthy heiress. In contrast, Veronica's life was full of injustice. Even so, deep down, Veronica felt that while Tiffany's fate was quite miserable, she didn't deserve sympathy.
