CHAPTER 1257 STEP ASIDE, WILL YOU?
"It goes without saying I feel sorry for him."
Veronica put some scrambled eggs on Mateo's plate. "Eat more, or you'll get hungry later."
"Hehehe! Roni is the best." Eggs were all it took to make the man happy.
On the other hand, Crayson was eating with a serious expression, eating congee with pickles. After chewing his food, he asked, "Have you all heard about Zac's situation?"
He first looked at Veronica, then looked meaningfully at Matthew, implying something.
Destiny shook her head and sighed. "This is a serious matter. After all, Zac is the prince of Castron. I can't believe Xavier dared to make a move against him. I'm afraid it's over for him."
Veronica lowered her eyelids and absentmindedly ate her serving of food, casually saying, "I heard about it."
"Ron's husband's death is closely related to Xavier. He was arrested and got what he deserved."
Confused, Mateo expressed his thoughts as well. "Karma."
"Although it happened in the hidden clan's territory, Zac is Castron's prince. He has a noble status. I want all of you to stay away from him. It's best not to get involved, lest you get into trouble."
Crayson's words were clear in intention, warning the younger ones.
Matthew didn't respond, and Veronica hummed in return, but Mateo, who was in the dark, smiled happily and said, "Isn't it best to sit back and watch the tigers fight? That way, we won't be hurt."
"Speak less and eat!" Crayson glanced at him. "You're an adult now, so act like one."
Everyone fell silent and ate breakfast quietly.
After the meal, the servants came to clean up the dishes. Veronica turned to Matthew. "Hey, Iron Pillar, let's go to the foot of the mountain to do some shopping."
"Roni, I'll go with you." Mateo walked briskly to Veronica. "Iron Pillar is busy. It's better not to disturb him."
"I'm not busy." Matthew shattered Mateo's hope with one sentence and walked up to Veronica. "Miss, let's go."
"Then, take me with you," Mateo pleaded.
Since he couldn't get rid of Iron Pillar, he could only join them and try to spend more time with Veronica.
"Fine, let's go." owns © this.
Helpless, Veronica had to bring Mateo along as they went down together.
As they walked down the mountain, Mateo felt a little unhappy watching Veronica and Matthew walking side by side. He thought that their relationship was too intimate and felt jealous.
"Iron Pillar?"
He reached out and pulled Matthew. "Step aside, will you? I have something to say to Roni."
Matthew's face darkened. Before Mateo could speak, he saw her giving him a meaningful look. Matthew immediately nodded and took a step back.
Mateo stood beside Veronica. "Hehe, Roni, there's a play going on. Would you like to go with me?"
"I don't like plays."
"You don't like watching plays, huh? How about going to the movies?"
"I don't like that either."
"You don't like that either? There will be a large concert in the neighboring Sloan City in two weeks. Do you want me to take you there?"
"I don't understand your language, so how can I be interested?"
"You're right." Mateo nodded and thought hard. "Then how about a bonfire party, or I take you hiking?"
Walking beside him, Veronica felt a chill down her spine. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Matthew's expression as ugly as possible.
