Chapter 987 Playing Along
Lying in bed, Veronica fell asleep due to weariness.
When she woke up again, the sky had already turned bright.
Crayson and Hayley came to visit her, and the maids had also delivered some herbal medicine to the
table.
"Come on, Veronica. Drink the medicine."
Crayson held the bowl of herbal medicine and stirred it with a spoon so that it would cool down faster.
His friendly demeanor gave Veronica the illusion that he was someone very close to her.
However…
He was actually an evil wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Leave it. I'll drink it later." Lying in bed, she asked, "Master Crayson, I feel confused. Can you tell me
what happened after I arrived here?"
"Sure." Crayson instantly agreed and started sharing the story of what happened after she arrived at
the hidden clan. Of course, everything was fabricated. He made Matthew, Skyler, and Shirley enemies
and even reminded her to stay away from them and not to believe them.
Moreover, he added that Matthew forced her to have sex with him and made her pregnant by accident.

Eventually, he strangled their child to death.
Crayson made up nonsense but said it in an absolutely serious manner. He racked his brains trying to
slander Matthew so that Veronica would hate him to the bones.
"Where is that b*stard? I'm going to kill him!"
"Where is that b*stard? I'm going to kill him!"
Veronica clenched her fists and flipped the table, causing the medicine to splash all over the ground.
"I'm going to kill him right now!"
As she lifted her blanket and attempted to get out of bed, Crayson pushed her down. "You're still weak
now. You are no match for him yet," he comforted her, but she could catch the hidden triumphant smile
that he tried to suppress.
He thought Veronica had believed him.
"Do you remember Mateo?" asked Hayley.
"You should remember him." Crayson sounded certain about it.
When he was sealing her memories, he restored her memories about Mateo so that she could recall
their past relationship.
He wished that the two would get back together again and bear children for the hidden clan.
"You mean Mat?"
She nodded. "Of course, I do, but parts of my memories are still blank." She clutched her head and
inquired, "Where is he? I wanna see him."
Hayley shook her head with red eyes. "Mateo's ribs were broken by Matthew, and his whole body is
now covered in injuries. He barely escaped death and is still in the ICU right now."
Bang!
Veronica slammed the table harshly and growled, "Him again?! I'm going to kill that b*stard! I have to
kill him!"

She lifted the blanket and tried to get out of bed again.
Crayson pushed her down again, but she shoved him away and thundered, "Mat is your grandson and
also my man! You don't have to avenge him, but I must kill that person!"
She stood up, walked up to Hayley, and questioned with a murderous gaze, "Tell me! Where is
Matthew Kings?!"
Veronica's voice was filled with hatred and resentment, but that was because of Hayley and Crayson.
It was their spiteful acts that made her resent them to the bones!
Despite that, she knew she couldn't act rashly.
She was certain that the reason Matthew broke Mateo's ribs and sent him to the hospital was that he
couldn't find her and assumed that she was being kidnapped, hence he tried to threaten them by
injuring Mateo.
The fact that Crayson would rather watch Mateo get seriously injured and hospitalized in order to
prevent Matthew from finding her was enough to prove how cruel he was.
In that case, Veronica wouldn't be able to threaten Crayson into handing over her child back to her.
Currently, the only way was to play along with them! Yes, that was what she had to do!
