Chapter 625 Where Are You Going, Miss Murphy
As Veronica gazed into the distance, clouds of wispy fog slowly rose from the hillside, forming a
landscape that looked like an incredibly picturesque fairyland. However, the rain unsettled her even
further. She had never been as restless and worried as she was at this very moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, there were gunshots sounding from the foot of the hill, and the sound
reverberated in the mountains.
The bodyguards keeping watch outside the villa were alerted at once. In an instant, they adopted a
defensive posture, and some of them even ran downhill in an attempt to check out the situation.
“Miss Murphy, somebody’s coming.” Destiny hurriedly pushed the bedroom door open and came in.
She said, “You have to hide at the back of the hill with me right away. Mr. Crayson says there’s a
hidden cave at the back of the hill that’s absolutely safe.”
Veronica’s hands clenched into fists by her sides. All of a sudden, she felt that she had spent years
practicing martial arts for nothing as she couldn’t put her fighting skills to use at this very moment. She
looked back and said to Destiny, “Give me a gun.”

that Veronica might catch a cold, which would affect the baby in her womb.
Without turning down the offer, Veronica quickly took the raincoat from Destiny and put it on before
taking the gun and the bullets from the latter. Then, she came downstairs and headed for the back of
the hill with the latter.
The cave was in a hidden location. The two of them could only reach there by threading their way
through thistles and thorns, so they had no choice but to move very slowly.
The sound of gunshots continued to reverberate continuously in the valley behind them while pulling at
their heartstrings. Awakened by the sound, the birds on the trees flapped their wings and flew into the
sky to leave the dangerous place.
Veronica was escorted from behind by Destiny and eight bodyguards while a bodyguard led the way
ahead of them. Before they realized it, the sound of gunshots had gotten closer and closer to them. It
seemed that there was another bunch of people at the back of the hill.
Bang! Suddenly, a bullet was fired in their direction. It hit the bodyguard in front of Veronica, causing
him to collapse at once.
“Watch out!” Destiny shouted while dragging Veronica to crouch down.
A few dozen assassins showed up around them. To put it accurately, they were mercenaries dressed in
army camouflage who made their way through the dense forest with agile movements while firing away
madly in Veronica’s direction.
“You go that way while I lure them away,” Destiny said while pointing to Veronica the location of the
cave at the back of the hill. After that, she ran to the north with four bodyguards and fired several shots.
“She’s over there! After her!”
“Go catch up to her!”
“Hurry up!”
…
The gunfire drew the attention of the mercenaries, causing everyone to run to the north one after
another.
Veronica was wearing a camouflage raincoat that allowed her to hide in the bushes without being

and left with several bodyguards. As she ran, she clapped her hand over her belly. She really felt that
the baby in her womb had arrived at an inopportune moment. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed
these people to protect her life, which would allow more reinforcements to help Matthew.
The heavy downpour stopped as quickly as it started raining. However… it was already getting dark
outside.
Veronica was quickly walking in the dense forest when several people suddenly popped up from
nowhere in front of her. “Miss Murphy, we’ve been waiting a long time for you.”
Veronica stopped in her tracks before taking a good, hard look at the person before her. “Antheena?”
Wearing her long, blonde hair in a braid, Antheena was dressed in a gray tank top, a pair of loose-
fitting fatigues, and a pair of black boots. The tank top showed off her voluptuous curves as she stared
coldly at Veronica with a handgun on her hip and a Desert Eagle in her hand. “Look how much trouble
I’ve taken to congratulate you on your big day and wish you a happy marriage. Well, we’re
acquaintances, after all,” she joked.
Worrying for Veronica’s safety, one of the bodyguards stepped forward to shield her behind them. “Be
careful, Mrs. Kings.”
Veronica’s pale lips curled up. Pushing the bodyguard away, she said to Antheena, “It’s so nice of you
to come all the way here just to give me your best wishes, Miss Antheena.”
