Chapter 766 Mateo’s Failed Plan
Matthew did not readily agree, but instead, he wore a ‘troubled’ expression while saying, “I’ll give it a
try.” “It’s settled, then. Iron, I’ll head back to my room and wait for your good news.”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Mateo was in such a good mood that there was an unconcealable
smile on his face. Subsequently, he got up and left, closing the door behind him.
The calmness on Matthew’s face instantly disappeared as a gloomy aura slowly emerged around him.
While glancing at the twenty thousand in his hand, he smiled and shook his head resignedly.
At 3.00PM, Mateo came out of his bedroom, wearing a suit and looking all dressed up. Immediately, he
saw Crayson coming toward him and thought his grandpa was looking for him, so he smiled and
explained, “Grandpa, Iron told me he has something to do this afternoon, so I’ll be accompanying Roni
to the gathering.”

the gathering if they went to deal with his matters first. You should obediently stay at home.” Crayson’s
words were undoubtedly a blow to Mateo, which caused him to freeze in his spot while his clean and
fair face fell.
“Wait… Did Iron Pillar just go back on his words?!”
I used twenty thousand hidden clan credits to bribe him. I didn’t expect I would get played.
“What do you mean he went back on his word? He said he had something to do, but the little brat said
she was bored and followed him out,” Crayson explained before walking away.
However, he had just taken a few steps when he stopped abruptly and turned around to scrunch his
gray eyebrows together. While glaring at Mateo, he questioned, “You brat, did you bribe Iron Pillar? I
was wondering why he suddenly said he didn’t have the time to accompany Veronica.”
“What? I…” Mateo felt like crying but could not shed any tears, so he quickly waved his hand while
explaining, “No, no, no. There’s no such thing. Iron told me he had something to do and asked if I could
accompany Roni. Jeez. It’s all just a misunderstanding, purely a misunderstanding.”
While squeezing a smile onto his long, bitter face, he quickly turned back into his room, looking worse
than he would be if he was crying.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, Matthew drove a Land Rover toward the outskirts of the city
and stopped in a secluded scenic area with luscious greenery and clear water.
Turning to his side, he looked at the woman in the passenger seat while using his fingers to play with a
lock of her hair. “Tell me, what am I going to do with you?”
“What’s the matter?” Veronica was in the middle of enjoying the beautiful scenery and was taken aback
by Matthew’s question.
“First, it was Liam, and now, there’s Mateo. Oh, Roni, why didn’t I discover that you were so alluring
before?” When he said that, his eyes showed a trace of helplessness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she saw his current appearance, she felt distressed and took his hand into hers. “What are you
talking about? There’s nothing like that. Mateo is Crayson’s grandson, and he only protects me
because of him, so stop imagining things.”
“If you think I’m imagining things, then you’re so wrong.” He wiggled his arm around her waist and
exerted some force to pull her onto his lap. “Mateo told me on his own. Not only that, he even used
twenty thousand hidden clan credits to bribe me, wanting to take this chance to hook up with you. So,
tell me. Should I teach him a good lesson?”
“What? I-Is that true?”
I swear that I never knew Mateo had feelings for me. He has been very welcoming since I arrived at the
hidden clan. Just like his bright and warm personality, he’s charming and likable. Who would have
thought that he harbors such feelings for me?
“Roni, I’ve begun to regret my decision.”
