Chapter 983
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 983 Care For Her When Hendrey later returned to his home, he found an unwanted guest waiting for him. It was Zac.
Zac was sitting on his living room couch with a cigarette held between his fingers. With cold eyes, he watched as Hendrey walked into the place. He raised an eyebrow and asked, âWhere were you?â
The way he held himself turned the question into an interrogation.
âVeronica vanished. I went to help look for her,â Hendrey honestly replied without holding a single detail back.
Zac took a few puffs of the cigarette held between his fingers before slowly exhaling. âWhat does her disappearance have to do with you? Why do you need to look for her? What? Do you still love her?â
âDo I look like someone whoâs into romance? Women are just to have fun with.â
Hendrey walked into the room and sat across from Zac with a faux calm before casually continuing, âI heard that there is a way to seal off someoneâs memories among the hidden clan. The moment Veronicaâs memories are sealed off, she would be forever loyal to Crayson and Hayley. Overnight, she would turn into Dominikâs greatest enemy, which means she would be your greatest enemy, Your Highness.â
Hendrey pulled out a cigarette from the box on the table, lit it, and held it between his lips. âYou and Matthew Kings are enemies. Nothing good will come out of her becoming the head of the clan. At this moment, it would be best to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Helping her means helping ourselves.â
It certainly sounded like Hendrey was doing everything for Zacâs sake.
In reality, Hendrey had always cared for Veronica. He was simply unable to expose his true identity due to certain reasons.
Zac only somewhat believed that explanation. He kept staring at Hendrey with his blue eyes as though he wanted to verify the authenticity of the statement from Hendreyâs facial expression. However, he observed nothing unusual.
He leaned back and crossed his legs. The hand with the cigarette rested on his knee as he tapped his finger in thought.
Moments later, he asked, âWas she found?â
âNo.â
Hendrey shook his head. âMatthew thinks Crayson has most likely sealed off her memories by now.
From now on, Matthew would no longer fight back even if Veronica ends up being loyal to Crayson. Iâm afraid it will be even harder for you to work with Prince Dominik.â
âWaylen is very harsh when it comes to Veronica. He watched her grow up, did he not? What an absolutely unbearable coward.â
Even Zac thought Waylenâs actions were extremely shameless and vile.
âCrayson only looks at the big picture. He wants the power of being the head of the clan, so nothing could stand in his way.â
Hendrey frowned with worry in his eyes. âSuch a man is the most terrifying.â
âI hear Matthew kidnapped Mateo and broke so many of his bones that he nearly died. Is that true?â
Zac eventually asked.
âYes.â
âMateo is Waylenâs beloved grandson. How could he not care at all that he nearly died?â
Zac was wary of Waylen.
After all, who knew what might actually happen when going against someone so cruel that he would do anything to achieve his goals?
A man with no weakness was the hardest to control and the most dangerous.
âContinue to keep an eye on the situation with Veronica,â Zac ordered. âAlso, the moment you see a chance to get rid of Matthew, do it. Heâ¦â
He narrowed his eyes into slits as an icy glint flashed across them. âHe must die!â
Zac would never rest easy as long as Matthew was alive.
