CHAPTER 1121 VERONICA'S CONCERN

What Matthew cared about was that once Flavian found out about Veronica's identity, he would either use her or take action against her.

Matthew could keep the children under the radar because they were young. However, she was an adult and couldn't be hidden away from the world, especially after he suffered serious loss because of the hidden clan.

It almost depleted his liquid assets. The remaining asset was the market value of the listed company, which couldn't be cashed out in the short term.

Even if he could cash it out, a large amount of cashing out would cause a company shock. That would attract external attention and create a negative impact that was equivalent to exposing his own weakness to the public.

Therefore, when the current situation was not looking good, the first thing he needed to do was to protect Veronica and their children.

The two went upstairs together. Matthew went to the study to handle work, whereas Veronica went to freshen up and then lay on the bed to read the script.

The days had been comfortable and pleasant recently. She relished in the inexplicable sense of tranquility.

The script was a historical drama called 'The General's Lonely Daughter' that told a story of a famous general, Cedric Sterling, who was slandered by a treacherous minister, and his whole family was executed. A servant escaped with the young lady, who later returned to the capital for revenge.

His daughter was originally named Seraphina Sterling, but she changed her name to Liora Sterling in order to seek revenge for her father. The character played by Veronica was Aveline Lockwood, the personal bodyguard.

Aveline's mother worked for Cedric and owed him a favor. Her mother asked her to protect the Seraphina as a way of repaying the favor.

"The script is not bad. The characters are good too."

Veronica looked at the script and sighed. "But what if I mess up?"

She lay on the bed, thinking left and right, and decided to call Larry. "Hey, Crazy, are you asleep?"

"What's up, fierce one?" he greeted casually.

She held the script and helplessly tapped her head. "I've read the script for 'The General's Lonely Daughter', but I haven't acted before. What if I mess up?"

He invested in the drama, so how should she face him if she messed up the whole drama?

"Tsk tsk tsk. The fierce one is afraid of something." He laughed heartily unlike the serious image that he built up for his celebrity career.

Veronica was helpless. She couldn't help but complain, "I seriously want to reveal your true color to your fans and let them see what kind of hilarious character you are."

It wasn't that Larry was deliberately pretending. It was just that he wasn't a sociable person; he couldn't act himself in front of strangers, so he gave people the impression of being aloof.

People who were close to him knew that he had a humorous and cheerful personality, but he took time to open one to someone.

"As if they would believe you just because you said it." He scoffed lightly and continued, "Alright, enough. I'm in Castron now. Hendrey invited me to lunch."

She paused momentarily. "Oh, I see."

Veronica had a heavy mood whenever Hendrey was mentioned. She didn't say much. "See you."

"Goodbye." He hung up the phone just like that.

...

In the following month, Veronica was either memorizing lines or attending acting classes. After class, she would go to Vincere Games or the private detective agency. She was busy every day.

On the other hand, Matthew put Eleanor to work at Miguel's company, giving her the chance to learn business with Miguel.

She clung to Miguel every single day, and Troy Ritter rarely had any free time. This belongs to : ©.
