Chapter 617 Looming Danger
After the end of the ceremony, the host handed over the microphone for Elizabeth to share some words
with the married couple. At that moment, she seemed very energetic and beamed widely the entire
time.
As she held onto the microphone, she expressed herself excitedly, “From today onward, Veronica’s my
granddaughter-in-law. Watch out, Matthew, because if you bully her, I’ll definitely give you a spanking
regardless of my old age.”
Veronica could not contain her laughter as Matthew hurriedly shook his head and held her hand tightly
before shaking his head again. “Oh, I promise you that won’t ever happen.”
“My wish is fulfilled now that the two of you are married. From now on, I wish for a life of happiness for
you two. I hope everything will go well…” Elizabeth’s breath hitched as she spoke.
Perhaps it was because Matthew, whom she had raised since young, had now formed a family on his
own. This was one of her wishes fulfilled, so she was now at ease.
Veronica instantly hurried over as soon as she noticed Elizabeth’s tears and hugged her. “It’s alright,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrandma. It’s our big day today. Why are you crying?”
“I’m happy. Hahaha… I’m happy for you guys.” Elizabeth embraced her. Veronica smiled. “Grandma,
don’t worry. We’ll definitely have a great life.”
Subsequently, the microphone was handed over to Crayson and the video camera was focused on
him.
In that instant, a forced smile appeared on Crayson’s solemn face. “You two have finally tied the knot
and your parents have finally gotten their wish fulfilled too. We would be content to see you guys live a
happy and blissful married life from now on.”
The crowd gave a round of applause following his speech.
However, Veronica knew that Crayson was not actually happy. Not only was he concerned about too
many things, he also was not supportive of their relationship.
Nonetheless, Veronica naturally did not make this known during the ceremony. She walked over to
stand in front of her elder. “Master Crayson, although you’re just my teacher, I respect you as much as
a father. I’m very happy to have you here with me witnessing my wedding and I feel very blessed.”
“Hm. Your happiness is what matters the most.”
Crayson nodded and shot a meaningful look at Matthew. The old man did not intend to say anything,
but as soon as he saw that the camera was focused on him, he had no choice but to add, “I treat
Veronica like my own daughter. If you dare to give her a hard time, I won’t let things slide.”
“Don’t worry, Master Crayson. I promise not to ever disappoint Roni.” Matthew made a promise
solemnly.
…
The wedding ceremony proceeded successfully and it finally came to an end. Matthew held Veronica’s
hand and headed backstage before going upstairs to the penthouse suite. Following that, they changed
into their next outfit.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen remained in the living room and chatted, and the atmosphere was
very lively.
Veronica sat on the bed and glanced at the gowns hanging by the side. There was a wedding gown
and even an evening dress. Everything was readily available.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sat cross-legged with her hands supporting her chin as she placed her elbows on her knees before
glancing at Matthew. “Matt, thanks for giving me such a lavish and perfect wedding.”
Matthew stood in front of the French windows and he could see the whole of Bloomstead from there.
He could not help it and had the urge to puff on a cigarette, but as soon as he recalled that Veronica
was pregnant, he immediately stuffed the cigarette back into the box.
Turning around, he walked over to stand in front of Veronica as he placed a hand on her face and
cupped her cheek. “Roni, are you afraid?”
They were both clearly aware of the potential dangers they would encounter during the wedding today.
Veronica shook her head. “What is there to be afraid of? I’ve got you by my side, so there is nothing to
be worried about. But then… Would the guests we invited today be in danger?”
“Don’t worry, they’ll be fine.” Matthew was confident. “As long as their safety is guaranteed, then that’s
fine.” She heaved a gentle sigh and got up to hold his hand. “Let’s go. We should head down and
propose a toast to the guests.”
Veronica had changed into her evening gown and she wore a pair of ballet flats. She had removed the
intricate veil she had on before, so her longhair was now pulled into a simple bun. Even so, her
ethereal looks were prominent and it was hard to believe that someone as stunning existed in real life.
With such a calm demeanor she exuded, it was undeniably very attractive to everyone.
