Chapter 934 Waylen Comes to Visit
"Is it that serious?" Shirley's eyes widened in shock.
"Shh!" Skyler placed his finger on his lips. "Don't let Roni hear that. She's already worried sick about
Matt."
"Okay, okay. I understand." She nodded and propped her chin with a frown while lost in thought.
Soon, Veronica exited the bathroom and sat by the dining table. "Shirley, thank you for making
breakfast. I didn't expect you would know your way around the kitchen." She forced a smile.
"Haha! Of course, I know how to cook. When I was young, my parents would head out to the field to
farm while I stayed home to do the chores and cook. Still, my cooking is just ordinary and incomparable
to the chefs of One Piece Restaurant."
When Skyler heard that, he pretended to be relaxed and tried to liven up the atmosphere. "Roni, have

"Sure." Then, Veronica picked up her utensils and ate a spoonful of the dish. Once it was in her mouth,
she chewed while nodding repeatedly. "Quite good!" It was more delicious than she anticipated. She
added, "It tastes better than I expected. The greens are still crispy and tasted slightly sweet when I
chewed them. It's a light and delicious dish."
"Really?"
"Of course." Veronica was not exaggerating as she praised the food. Subsequently, she looked at
Skyler. "You have a try too."
At first, he was skeptical about her words, but when he tasted the food, he was pleasantly surprised. "It
does taste good." Then, he raised an eyebrow, looking at Shirley with a grin. "C'mon. What else do we
not know?"
He was teasing her with a cheesy tone, which cracked Shirley up. "I'm not that good. Stop joking, and
let's eat. We don't wanna eat cold food."
With that, the three began chatting while enjoying their food. Knowing that Veronica was not in a good
mood, Shirley kept racking her brain for funny stories, making Veronica unable to hold back her
laughter. Regardless, no matter how funny the jokes were, she was not anywhere near happy.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. "Miss Murphy?"
"Enter," Veronica replied, and in came Lazlo. When she saw him, her eyes lit up as she immediately
put down her fork. "Is there news about Matt?"
Despair instantly appeared on Lazlo's already anxious face as he shook his head. "No, there's still no
news about Boss. H-However…"
"What is it?" she asked.
"There's a man called Waylen Elrod here." He pointed in the direction of downstairs.
Waylen Elrod was Crayson's name within the hidden clan, so Veronica immediately knew whom it was

would come over so early in the morning.
When Skyler saw her solemn expression, he immediately assured her. "Don't be afraid. I'll make sure
nothing will happen."
"Lazlo, bring him over," Veronica instructed.
Since Crayson had arrived, it would be better to sit down and chat amicably with him. With his forces in
the hidden clan, he had to know where Matthew was.
"Yes, Miss Murphy." Lazlo went away.
In the meantime, Skyler and Shirley exchanged glances before she rose to her feet. "Roni, I'll put away
half of the food so Mr. Crayson wouldn't discover we're here. Sky and I will be next door."
"Oh, my. It seems like Shir has gotten more intelligent." Skyler was surprised and smiled at her.
"What's so funny?" Shirley smacked his arm. "Hurry up and help me."
As such, they cleaned away their utensils and brought some food to hide inside the room next door.
