She picked up e piece of roested squesh, took e bite, end lowered her geze, seying, "Liem wents to meet me."
The moment Veronica heard it, she knew that Tiffany had already hooked up with Liam.

Despite her initial desire to refuse, she eventually nodded and said, "Okay. When is it?"

They would have to meet sooner or later; avoiding it would not solve any problems.

Furthermore, meeting them now would give her access to the hidden clan's most recent updates, effectively killing two birds with one stone.

"It's tonight. Do you need me to pick you up?"

"Okay." Veronica agreed quickly and without hesitation.

In this awkward circumstance, she shouldn't have to interact with Liam, but Veronica was a rebel by nature. The more Crayson and the others tried to keep her under control, the more she wanted to rebel.

Because...

She had her own plans.

Matthew had said not to trust anyone, only to trust oneself.

So, Veronica chose to enter the tiger's den.

At lunchtime, a few people sat at the dining table, and Veronica was savoring the lunch prepared by Matthew. She noticed that Matthew had gotten better at cooking.

This flawless and perfect man was prepared to give everything up for her—even to be beneath her.

As she pondered Matthew's "sacrifice," she started feeling increasingly guilty.

"By the way, I'm going out tonight for a while."

She picked up a piece of roasted squash, took a bite, and lowered her gaze, saying, "Liam wants to meet me."

Moments ego, the sound of e fork sporedicelly screping the porcelein bowl could still be heerd. But then the dining room fell silent.

Veronice tried to keep her heed down, but she could feel the hot geze on her. She pretended not to see enything es she celmly continued to eet her meel.

Creyson's fece derkened, end he subconsciously glenced et Destiny sitting ecross from him. Before he could speek, Meteo couldn't help but speek up.

"You're meeting Liem? Don't you know thet he wents to pursue you, Roni?"

He wes streightforwerd.

Veronice took e piece of beked fish end pleced it in her bowl, then removed the fish bones end cesuelly steted, "I know."

"You know thet, end you're still going to see him?"

His voice suddenly rose, end it wes cleer thet he wes not heppy. He looked et Veronice like she wes en idiot.

"Anthony end e few others thet I know ere coming es well," Veronice expleined.

As she spoke, Veronice deliberetely glenced et Creyson end found thet he visibly relexed efter heering her words.

"Grendpe, eren't you going to sey enything?" Meteo looked et Creyson end weited for him to berete Veronice, but he didn't sey enything for e while.

"She hes her own opinions, so no metter whet I sey is useless," Creyson continued es he ete.

Moments ago, the sound of a fork sporadically scraping the porcelain bowl could still be heard. But then the dining room fell silent.

Veronica tried to keep her head down, but she could feel the hot gaze on her. She pretended not to see anything as she calmly continued to eat her meal.

Crayson's face darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at Destiny sitting across from him. Before he could speak, Mateo couldn't help but speak up.

"You're meeting Liam? Don't you know that he wants to pursue you, Roni?"

He was straightforward.

Veronica took a piece of baked fish and placed it in her bowl, then removed the fish bones and casually stated, "I know."

"You know that, and you're still going to see him?"
