Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232 Is Everyone Present?

Veronica remained still, her fists tight with simmering anger. "They've finally taken action against our children."

"Yes, just as we thought." Matthew remained composed. "Let's go."

They did not say much to each other, yet it was as if an unspoken understanding existed between them to leave the topic untouched.

Entering the palace, Zac, Veronica, and Matthew reported their identities and were guided by the servants to a side hall on the palace's east wing. Xavier, Hendrey, and Tiffany were already present there, waiting.

Everything went as the couple had expected.

"Master, you finally came. I've been waiting for you." In a red dress, Eleanor hurriedly greeted Matthew upon his arrival. Her long hair cascaded down, and she had a silver crown on her head, like a wreath of flowers. The silver tassels on her crown jingled like charming silver bells as she approached.

In the central area of the side hall, there were rows of chairs on both sides, each with a small table in the center holding an assortment of desserts, fruits, and beverages.

"Princess Eleanor." Matthew nodded slightly toward her while deftly avoiding her extended hand.

Observing this, Veronica arched an eyebrow and smiled faintly.

"Hahaha, I've mentioned it multiple times. Just call me Eleanor. You're my master. There's no need for the formalities."

Despite his rejection, Eleanor displayed no sign of disappointment. Instead, she reached out and held Veronica's arm in a friendly manner. "I haven't seen you in a while either. I've missed you. I've reserved a spot for both you and my master. Come, sit next to me."

Veronica was taken aback and glanced at Matthew as if conveying through her eyes, Thanks to you, I'm getting some advantages here.

"Thanks for your concern, Princess Eleanor," she replied.

Sitting beside them, Tiffany glanced at Veronica and sarcastically remarked, "You sure are amazing. Since when you and Princess Eleanor became such close pals?"

Her resentment toward Veronica had intensified as she recalled the embarrassment of their previous gathering. A sense of unease crept over her at the sight of Veronica getting friendly with Eleanor.

Tiffany used to shine the brightest, but everything slipped away from her ever since Veronica came into the picture. The only thing that could ease this resentment was Veronica's death.

"Why does it concern you who I'm close to?" Eleanor did not hide her displeasure from Tiffany.

Being scolded publicly, Tiffany felt angered but chose to hold her tongue. She lowered her head and remained silent.

Sitting in the main seat above, Dominik scolded Eleanor, "Eleanor, everyone here is a guest. Be respectful."
