Chapter 750 The Clan’s Past
She went to the bathroom and straightened herself up before coming back down. The first thing she heard was Crayson chiding, “Look at you. How many times have I told you to hold back? Why wouldn’t you listen to me? You can’t even beat Liam! This is a disgrace.”
She reached the first floor and looked at them. Mateo’s face was bruised, and blood trickled down the corner of his lips. His right eye was also bruised. She sympathized with him, but she also found it funny.
Veronica let out a laugh. “A-Are you fine?” I thought he could handle it. He looked so confident. Guess that’s not the case.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. Liam got it worse than I did. Both of his eyes are bruised,” he said proudly.
Crayson slammed the table. “This is preposterous. You know his mother is the clan’s head, and yet you challenged him? This is a sensitive period. You can’t just start trouble anywhere you go.”
“It’s because this is a special period that they won’t do anything to us. They want to get reelected, after all.” Mateo snorted. “The first thing Tanya did after she usurped the throne was to grant us mercy and a life of peace. They won’t renege on their word right now.”
The hidden clan was a united one, and they thought only the Elrods should be the leaders. That was why Tanya spared them after she usurped the throne. She needed to appease the people.
The accession was right around the corner, so she wouldn’t dare to send anyone after the Elrods at this moment. If the people found out, they would be enraged and come after her. It would put her empire in jeopardy.
“You’re a fool. She’s finding a reason to take us all out, and you’ve given her the perfect one! You assaulted her son!” Crayson was furious. This might seem trivial, but it could affect their whole plan.
Veronica had been taking her time to sort out the whole clan’s issues, and she agreed with Crayson. Tanya had been trying to take Hayley and the remnants out, but she had no excuse. Now Mateo just gave her one. If she came after them because of this, it could cost them everything.
“I…” Mateo froze. He had no answer to that.
