Chapter 762: Chapter 300: Either on the Dining Table or On the Menu_3

Austin stopped there, showing his loyalty to the Queen, which represented the loyalty of the Lando Family. The heir Wayne was different; young people always have moments where they let their passions lead them into making mistakes. If the Queen pushes too hard, it’s hard to ensure the heir’s future loyalty to the Royal Family.

Wayne caught on immediately and asked curiously, "Is that okay? Would the Queen not fly into a rage and then call a meeting to revoke my status as heir?"

"A good politician doesn’t get angry, they just test each other and then compromise. I’ve already made a compromise; it’s the Queen’s turn to make one."

"What a hassle, my assessment is that fists are fast and reliable."

Wayne still wasn’t convinced. His exceptional wisdom told him that this was the time to use his superpower.

Thinking of this, Wayne asked curiously, "What about the other members of the Tulip Family? Don’t they have their plans to slap faces too?"

"I’m not sure about that."

"Tsk, so loyal!"

Wayne grabbed the documents, turned left out the door, and saw Monica, the black cat hunting butterflies on the lawn. He didn’t pay her any attention, heading straight for the young miss’ villa.

Veronica wasn’t there. Wayne sniffed the air and found her in the underground base.

The trip to the Icebound Continent had been a blow not just for Hefei, but for Veronica as well. Saina’s evaluations haunted her, making her feel anxious whenever she remembered them.

Saina: Weak, helpless, pitiable, and especially easy to bully.

Among her peers, Veronica was undoubtedly among the most outstanding, and she used to think so, too.

Later, it didn’t hold up. She met someone with cheats activated.

Veronica didn’t know about Wayne’s cheats, only that Wayne’s talent put unbearable pressure on her from all angles. If Wayne wasn’t willing, she couldn’t learn to freely launch human cannons at will like Hefei did.

It was later proven, however, that Hefei could freely launch Austin anytime because of Austin’s own facilitation, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that Veronica was provoked.

Veronica thought the Old Witch had a point. If she were strong enough, her fiancé’s mount wouldn’t have been the Old Witch, nor would she need to huddle for warmth and let Velie push her further.

According to the gossip inadvertently revealed by Velie, who was at Wayne Manor, she was already pregnant.

Boom!

Veronica punched the wall, and the sturdy concrete shed dust. Upon closer inspection, there was a piece of paper with Velie’s name on it stuck to the wall.

Next to it were two more pieces of paper, one with Wayne, who had been trashed, and the immaculate Chris.

She still couldn’t bear to make a move against her moonlight crush.

"Veronica, what are you doing here?"

Wayne asked knowingly, preparing to check on Juno’s condition soon; if there were no issues, he would proceed with surgery for Veronica. Austin had been pushing hard as well, estimating the teacher had reached the limit of patience.

It was about time to take action!

Veronica’s eyes flashed dangerously. In her vision, Wayne was hugging and smooching, embracing the pregnant Chris and Velie, laughing like a social scumbag.

She shook her head, looked again, and this time Wayne was hugging Velie, laughing in a particularly obnoxious way.

With a flicker of an afterimage, Veronica charged directly at Wayne, who sidestepped and said in a panic, "No, we can’t practice today, I have a task to do, don’t damage the documents."

Veronica stopped chasing and looked at Wayne uncertainly, "What documents, where? I didn’t see any."

"Oh, they’re in my Golden Mage’s personal space."

"..."x2

Slap!

The string representing reason snapped. Veronica, infuriated, full of rage, chased after Wayne and after several minutes, grabbed his collar and hung him on the wall.

"Why are you not running? Keep dodging!" Veronica clenched her fist, making it crackle.

"My heart is in your hands; no matter how far I run, I’ll come back. I can’t escape," Wayne sighed, conceding that his life was over.

"Haha, how many pieces is your heart divided into?"

"..."

"Speak up!"

"I’m counting."

Bang!

The camera angle shifted, and Veronica turned and left the underground base, stepping so fiercely that each step left a mark.

Wayne followed her like a bullied puppy, holding his nose with one hand as blood continuously streamed through his fingers.

When it came to looking pitiful, he was far more professional than Austin.

Physically, he was different; too much blood loss could kill Austin, but he could bleed as much as he wanted to create a spectacle.

"What are you following me for, go back to your own home!"

"But this is my home!"

"Hmmph, your senior sisters and Willy are waiting for you at home, this isn’t your house."

"Right, then I’m off, ha."

"Bastard, you come back here."

Veronica, seriously pissed off, grabbed Wayne by the collar and dragged him back to the young miss’s villa, finding herself an excuse as she did, "Spill it, what mission? Did that old bastard send you on a long trip?"

"Veronica, you can’t talk about my father like that, at least not in front of me," Wayne said with a stern face, "You know, we’re not married yet. The old bastard is the head of the family. If he hears you, he’ll say you have no manners and then oppose our marriage."

Veronica: (⊙_⊙)

"Don’t worry, I like you so much that if he doesn’t agree, we’ll just elope."

"..."

Veronica rubbed her temples with a headache. Marriage, such a beautiful and sacred word, she had once fantasized about her own wedding.

It was a sunny afternoon with brilliant sunshine, releasing doves, her mother Hefei handed her over to Wayne, and amidst the bridesmaids’ blessings, a sea of petals cascaded from the sky, the couple bathing in romance.

Not anymore, the bridesmaids wore bridal gowns like her, and there was nothing romantic about it.

Veronica hated her own weakness; she had firmly decided to make a clean break before, but after the alley attack, she couldn’t help but forgive the scumbag.

Every time she recalled that scene, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

And Willy, next time she’d definitely have to beat her up!

"So what mission did the old bastard give you?"

"A family tree."

In Veronica’s envious gaze, Wayne gestured and pulled a document out of the Dark Domain, "You might not believe it, but the Randao Family still has plenty of poor relatives out there. Now, they’ve moved to Lundan."

Veronica frowned slightly, taking the document to read, "What do you mean, you’re supposed to support them?"

"No, if they come, it’s no good; they’re here to fight over the inheritance, Austin asked me to take good care of them for a while."

"..."

Veronica returned the document and muttered to herself how boring it was.

"This involves a game between the Royal Family and the Tulip Family; as the heir, I need to show a totally different attitude from Austin. If you hear any rumors about me in the near future, don’t believe them. I’m putting on a show for the Queen," Wayne cautioned.

"Don’t underestimate me. I can tell whether a rumor is real and whether it’s related to the family’s interests," Veronica said displeased, "You don’t need to come to me specifically with this. Whatever the old bastard asks you to do, just do it. Since mother supports him, I will support you."

Wayne was greatly relieved, "If you say that, I can rest easy. I’ll start working on it tonight."

"Hold on a second!"

Veronica raised her hand to call a timeout, suspiciously asking, "What exactly are these rumors? It sounds like there’s something wrong."

"Tonight I need to tap into some outside family resources, and the person involved is a beautiful woman."

"Huh?!"

"Don’t worry, it’s Chris’s teacher."

"..."

Veronica was even less reassured now. What about a teacher? Saina was still the teacher’s teacher, and she still got to taste the sweet fruits.
