Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1265 One of Us

Then, Eleanor moved around Veronica and walked to Matthew's side before affectionately reaching out to embrace his arm.

However, Matthew swiftly withdrew his arm and stated firmly, "Please behave yourself, Princess Eleanor."

He pulled Veronica and positioned her between himself and Eleanor following that.

Veronica responded to Matthew's rejection of Eleanor with a genuine smile.

"What's so funny?" Eleanor's expression turned sour. "Are you enjoying the fact that your husband rejected me?"

Eleanor wasn't a fan of beating around the bush. She would always say what was in her mind.

Veronica only shrugged lightly. "Maybe it only happened because I'm here. How about I leave now and give you two some privacy?"

"Hmph. I, Princess Eleanor of the hidden clan, don't need your pity."

She raised an arm and wrapped it around Veronica as she continued, "I will use my own charm to win your husband over if I really like him."

"Well, I must say I admire your confidence, Princess Eleanor."

Who would have thought Veronica would say that? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She should have hated Eleanor for being her rival in love, but she didn't find herself disliking such an upfront person like her.

She couldn't help but admit that Eleanor possessed her own brand of charisma.

"Thank you. Just tell your husband not to handle me as ruthlessly as he did with Zac."

Eleanor's words surprised Veronica.

Veronica glanced at Matthew, and they exchanged a smile.

"It seems nothing escapes from you," Veronica said.

"Of course. How can I possibly lead the clan in the future if I am that ignorant?"

"Why are you still sticking so close to me now that you're about to become one of us? Aren't you afraid that I might seize the opportunity to take it out on you?"

"You would have done so long ago if you wanted to. Why would you wait until now?" Eleanor asked with a smile, "Why do you think I am fond of you two? Is it solely because you two are easy on the eyes?"

"Why is that then?" Veronica asked as her curiosity was piqued.

Eleanor only rolled her eyes up. "It's because of the charisma you two possess."

"Hehehe. You're too kind, Princess Eleanor."

Veronica chuckled.

The three of them passed the front yard guided by the servants, and they reached the backyard, where they found Zac in the main hall.

Zac was still wearing a silver suit, but his left wrist was wrapped in bandages, and he no longer had a left hand.

He stared at the Ledger Clan in the living room while seated, and he asked coldly, "I came to the hidden clan in exchange for safety as promised. Don't you have something to say to me now?"

Tanya Ledger, Dominik Ledger, Liam Ledger, and Hendrey Johnson were all there when he spoke.

Naturally, Antheena and Xavier Crawford were absent.

"You told us that Xavier was the one who harmed you, Prince Zac, and we have already apprehended him. What will you do to him now?" Tanya asked.

There was medical equipment beside Zac, and he still had a pale complexion at that instant. He was obviously still recovering from a bad injury and only recently regained consciousness.

"Where is Xavier? Bring him to—"

He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence, and he saw Eleanor, Veronica, and Iron Pillar

coming in.

"Are you feeling better, Prince Zac?" Eleanor moved on from Veronica and went over to him in concern. "I rushed over as soon as I heard about your injury. I'm truly sorry for causing you distress."

Veronica and Matthew only stood quietly at the side.

However, the injured Zac only felt a profound sense of humiliation. He merely glared at her before settling his gaze on Veronica as he listened to Eleanor's words.

His gaze was sharp, and a hint of hatred emerged, but he found it hard to spit it out for awkward reasons.

"Where is Xavier? Bring him here, now!"

Zac bled heavily when he got injured. He succumbed to the pain and lost consciousness shortly after.
