Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 1186 I Put Something in the Wine

A servant brought Matthew a cup of tea while the man casually sat on a chair on the side. Matthew picked up the tea, blew on the steam, and took a sip. "You are confident, Princess Eleanor."

"Before you came to the hidden clan, I sent people to investigate you and Veronica. I know your strength very well."

She stood up and strolled to him with her hands behind her back. She got close to him when she sat directly on the armrest of Matthew's chair. "A woman who can stand alongside you must have enough strength and ability. Obviously, Veronica is... far from it."

"I want to marry a wife, not a left or right arm."

He smiled and continued, "As a husband, I must protect my wife. Why does my wife need to be exceptionally wise and powerful?"

Sipping the tea leisurely, Matthew glanced at Eleanor beside him from the corner of his eye. "Princess Eleanor, you have probably found the wrong person. Toy boys suit you better."

Eleanor had nothing to say in response to Matthew's words.

She raised her hand and rested her elbow on his shoulder, tilting her head to look at him. "I'm used to weak and gentle men, but dominant men like you are the most charming. However, there is still a long way to go. You will eventually realize how good I am. I will always keep the position of 'main consort' for you."

"No need."

"You don't have to rush to refuse..." Eleanor smiled instead of getting angry when Matthew rejected her directly. She lowered her head slightly. As she leaned closer to Matthew's ear, she deliberately blew on his earlobe, teasing him. "Believe me. You will willingly marry me."

She was full of confidence.

At the same time, on the other side.

Dominik was questioning others one by one, and Tiffany happened to be the next person.

Tiffany bowed when she saw Dominik in the hall. She directly confessed, "Your Highness, I know who the mastermind is, but... This is for your ears only."

Implicitly, she wanted Dominik to dismiss the others.

Dominik had a small frown on his cold face. Still, he raised his hand to dismiss the servant before he sat in the main seat. Leaning to the side, he rested his elbow on the armrest of the chair and looked at her. "Speak."

Thud!

Seeing the servant turning around and closing the door, Tiffany kneeled with a thump. "Your Highness, please forgive me. Today's incident was a misunderstanding. I... I initially wanted to target Veronica, but Prince Liam drank the wine by accident."

Choked up and shedding tears, she spoke frankly and was incredibly sincere.

Tiffany's words and actions surprised Dominik, but he remained calm as he raised an eyebrow slightly while picking up the coffee on the table. He leisurely took a sip as he listened to her explanation.

Tiffany knew very well that his silence meant he was giving her a chance to explain. She continued, "Veronica was about to kill me just now, and you saw it too, Your Highness. I... I just wanted to scheme against her, so I put something in the wine. But when I bought the drug, the person told me that it would take effect after an hour. I didn't know it would work so quickly. Sob... I-I am guilty. Please spare my life, Your Highness. I, Tiffany Larson, am willing to do anything for you!"

In just two years, Tiffany's experiences had made her feel the warmth and coldness of human relationships, causing her to lose trust in everyone.

Feeling extremely insecure, she wanted to seek refuge with anyone she met to ensure her safety, but what happened today was indeed due to her impulsiveness.

When Veronica publicly wanted to kill her, Tiffany was so terrified that she ended up becoming a laughingstock. Because Tiffany held a deep grudge, she impulsively added something to the wine.
