Chapter 831 Watch Your Manners
Veronica stood where she was, clenching her fists as fury raged inside her. “In the end, they still did
something to our children.” “That’s within expectations.” Matthew’s behavior was extremely calm. “Let’s
go.”
The two didn’t talk much, but they seemed to have silently agreed not to mention this again. After
entering the palace and proving their identities, Zac, Veronica, and Matthew were led into the palace’s
east wing.
In the east wing, Xavier, Hendrey, Tiffany, and the others were present. Everything was just as
Veronica and Matthew had expected. “You’re finally here, Master Iron. We’ve been waiting for ages.”
When she saw Matthew walking in, Eleanor, who was wearing a red dress, jogged up to him in
welcome. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a silver hat that looked like a
flower crown. As she ran, the silver ornaments decorating the circumference of the hat rang like silvery

In the hall of the east wing, seats were arranged in two parallel rows at the sides. A small table was
placed between each pair of seats, and an assortment of desserts, fruits, and wine was laid out on the
tables.
“Princess Eleanor.” Matthew nodded slightly at her but cleverly dodged Eleanor’s outstretched hand.
Seeing that, Veronica raised an eyebrow, a subtle curve forming on her red lips.
“Hahaha, I’ve told you so many times to just call me Eleanor. You are my master, so you don’t have to
call me Princess.” Eleanor noticed Matthew’s rejection but didn’t express it in the slightest. Instead, she
casually reached out and took Veronica’s arm, saying, “I haven’t seen you in a while too. I’ve missed
you. I specially reserved seats for you and my master, so you can sit next to me.”
Veronica had a shocked expression at Eleanor’s kindness, then glanced at Matthew as she moved her
gaze past Eleanor. The look in her eyes seemed to say, ‘Thanks to you, I’m being treated well too.’
“Thank you for your consideration, Princess Eleanor,” she replied.
Seated at the side, Tiffany glanced at Veronica and said huffily, “That’s amazing, Veronica. Since when
did you become so close to Princess Eleanor?”
When Tiffany recalled how she had been disgraced during the last gathering, she hated Veronica even
more.
Now, when she saw how close Veronica was to Eleanor, she somehow felt a little uneasy.
At first, she was the most captivating person, but ever since Veronica appeared, she had stolen
everything from her. Only Veronica’s death could appease the hatred in Tiffany’s heart.
“Why? Do I have to ask for your permission to get close to anyone?” Eleanor didn’t spare Tiffany any
kindness.
After having been insulted in public, Tiffany was furious, but she could only lower her head and stay
silent.
On the other hand, Dominik was seated at the head position. He reprimanded Eleanor, “All visitors are
guests. Eleanor, mind your manners.”

Matthew’s wrist.
The man wanted to struggle free, but Eleanor appeared relaxed and calm. She even responded to
Dominik’s reprimand with an ‘okay’, but she gripped Matthew’s hand in silence as she fought against
his efforts, reluctant to let go.
She was expending effort in her left hand, so her right hand, which was holding Veronica’s wrist, also
applied some force without meaning to do so.
Sensing something odd, Veronica turned to look at Eleanor and realized that Eleanor was holding
Matthew’s wrist while smiling at him. At once, she understood what was going on.
Eleanor dragged the two to the upper section of the hall. She sat next to Dominik while Matthew sat on
her right, followed by Veronica. Next to Veronica sat Hendrey and Tiffany.
Sitting across them were Zac, Xavier, Antheena, and Troy.
“Princess Eleanor, have you summoned us for a reason?” Zac leaned against the armrest as he asked
straightforwardly.
