Chapter 609 The Upcoming Wedding
All along, Crayson had not been supportive of Matthew and Veronica’s marriage. “Master Crayson, I
would never regret any decision that I’ve made.”
Veronica had a solemn expression as she spoke, “You should realize that even if we don’t get married,
what’s coming for us will still come at us.”
“Do you realize the massive danger that you would face during the wedding day?” Crayson was much
more worried about Veronica’s safety than anything else.
“In reference to the safety issue, Matthew is much more aware of it than me. Besides, I’ve contacted
Destiny a week ago. With her and Matthew protecting me at the same time, though I can’t guarantee
that I’ll be perfectly safe, I reckon I wouldn’t be subjected to too much danger.”
Naturally, she had also considered the issues that Crayson was concerned about. It was something
that had to be inevitably faced, so running away from the problem would not resolve things.
“Have you made up your mind?” Crayson repeated his question once again.
Veronica lowered her head and considered his words for some time before finally nodding firmly. “Yes,
I’ve made up my mind. This time, I won’t look back.”
She recalled the past and thought of all the things that Matthew had done for her. He had sacrificed

this would most likely be the most regretful thing in her life.
Meanwhile, Crayson lifted a hand to stroke his goatee before coming to the realization that his goatee
had been sheared. In the end, he stroked the short white stubble on his chin.
His cloudy eyes were full of coldness and one could not seem to tell what was on his mind.
His eyes remained fixated on Veronica for some time before he finally heaved a sigh. “Since you’ve
made up your mind, then just make sure that you don’t regret your decision. I’ll head off to work now.
I’m out of annual leave.”
First Meeting belonged to Matthew and even if Crayson did not turn up to work, no one would comment
about that. He merely came up with an excuse to leave.
“Okay, don’t forget that we’re heading back home together tomorrow.” Veronica did not make him stay
any further.
Crayson stood up with both hands behind his back and shot a look at her before leaving. There was a
complicated look in his eyes.
Vaguely, Veronica sensed that he had a lot of things to share with her, but in the end, he kept all the
words to himself. He left and his retreating figure looked exceptionally wizened and there was an
inexplicable air of dejectedness around him.
In the afternoon, Matthew helped Veronica sort out the hospital discharge procedures before sending
her back to her hometown.
Monica, Shirley, Ruka, Larry, Stephen, Ivana, Wade, Sean, Skyler, Caleb, Miguel, and Rania went
along with Matthew to head to Veronica’s hometown. Naturally, Crayson came along too.
According to the local marriage custom, the bride’s family had to put up a feast on the first day and
invite family members and friends over to join in.
Veronica’s house was merrier than ever with the visit of their friends.
Matthew had brought along plenty of stuff and they were all betrothal gifts, so his subordinates drove a
few cars to transport them.
The group arrived at the village. As they parked their cars by the side of the road, it was an impressive
sight with a range of luxurious cars. There was a Ferrari, a Porsche, a Maybach, a Lamborghini, and
the most inferior vehicle out of the lot was in fact an Audi.
The villagers came out in droves to take a look and they were impressed by the scene in front of them.
“Wow! Veronica’s snagged a rich man and she’s made a great match.”
“They’re so wealthy. Gosh, I’m so envious.”

could snag any one of them as my husband.”
“Tsk. Do you think that she would be able to become a member of the upper echelon after her
marriage? Once the man has had enough of her, he will definitely cast her aside.”
“She’s considered capable of having succeeded in marrying a wealthy man.”
“That’s quite right.”
“Tony and Daniella will be able to hold their heads up in town from now on.”
“Not only would they be able to hold their heads up, but they would have their noses in the air from now
on.”
…
Meanwhile, Tony and Daniella shrugged off the crowd’s gossipy exchanges.
After all, they were just country bumpkins who tended to get jealous of one’s good fortune. Therefore,
Tony and Daniella were unsurprised by the rude words.
The group alighted from their cars and carried the gifts over to congratulate Tony and Daniella. The
couple could not contain their beaming smiles at all.
In the afternoon, everyone gathered to play some card games since they had nothing much to do.
Needless to say, the atmosphere was lively in the household on that day.
