Chapter 859 Mateo’s Emotional Breakdown
“Is that so? Why not settle down here when we are old?” Veronica said jokingly. “This place is Heaven
on Earth, and we will be away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. We can put everything
behind, which is great, but we don’t belong here.”
As soon as they walked into the courtyard of Mountainside Gardens, they heard Mateo and Crayson
arguing. Matthew and Veronica looked at each other and held tightly onto each other’s hands before
walking into the main hall.
“Why didn’t you tell me that Matthew is actually Iron Pillar when you already knew about it?” Mateo
pointed at Crayson furiously and fumed, “Her husband is just by her side, and you watched as I made a
fool out of myself. Have you ever thought about my feelings?”
“I didn’t get to tell you yet.” Crayson never expected Matthew to reveal his identity in front of Mateo so

Destiny, who was standing at the side, was startled at the revelation. Upon noticing them, she stared at
Matthew and asked, “You are Matthew Kings?”
“Yes.” Since Matthew did not have to put up an act anymore, he stood tall and reverted to his usual
cold personality.
“Aren’t you Iron Pillar? If you’re Matthew, where is Iron Pillar? Don’t tell me you’ve killed him?”
Destiny wasn’t close to Iron Pillar, but she knew that he was one of her subordinates. If Matthew really
did kill him, then they’d have unfinished business!
“Heh, do you think I’m as cold-blooded as all of you?” Matthew narrowed his gaze and pursed his lips
as he exuded confidence.
“Since you’ve been in disguise, then you shouldn’t have revealed yourself now.” The furious Crayson
pointed at Matthew and confronted him wide-eyed. “Don’t tell me that you plan to go to Zac!” The wise
Crayson had managed to guess Matthew’s intention.
“What do you mean?” Mateo was puzzled.
“That’s right,” Matthew admitted to the older gentleman’s claim.
Hearing that, Mateo seemed to have made sense of the situation. “So, the one who harmed Zac last
night wasn’t Xavier, but it was you, Matthew?”
“Are you really Matthew?” The enraged Mateo still wasn’t convinced and approached him as he tried to
remove Matthew’s makeup.
However, Matthew pushed his hand away and scoffed coldly. “Get away from me.”
There was such a stark contrast between the aura and the honest appearance of Iron Pillar and
Matthew that Mateo thought he was hallucinating.
“You really are Matthew! I’ve spent almost a month with you, but I didn’t realize your identity. How can I
be this dumb!”

chummy with Veronica and even confessed to her a few times! All of them were done right in front of
Matthew.
“Mateo, it’s not your fault. Matt learned about the art of disguise, which was why he could hide his
identity from a lot of people, including your grandpa. I’m sure that he just found out about it not long
ago.” Veronica tried to console him as she didn’t want to see him beating himself up because of it.
“Liars! All of you are liars!” The furious Mateo scoffed and pushed Veronica away before running out.
Veronica lost her balance, but Matthew grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
The infuriated Crayson looked around and watched Matthew leave through the window as he shook his
head. “We have sinned!” He looked over at Veronica and Matthew before sighing. After taking a seat
on the couch, he took his cigar out and started smoking. Destiny, on the other hand, couldn’t stop
staring at Matthew as she was still shocked at the sudden revelation.
