Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 619

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 no 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.

…

“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.”
