Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 1022 Eleanor Ledger

Lamia stood up and bowed to him as tears streamed down her face.

"Thank you," she said, then turned around and looked at the ship before walking away dejectedly.

The man also looked at the ship and asked, "Is your friend on that ship?"

Hearing that, Lamia paused and turned to look at the man while nodding her head.

"Is your friend on board too?" she asked.

The man nodded slightly and then shook his head.

"Well...I guess you could say she's a friend. She's also my benefactor."

"What's your name?" Lamia asked curiously.

"Lionel," he replied.

He was Nelson's younger brother.

Before Nelson died, he entrusted Veronica with the task of saving his younger brother, Lionel.

Veronica kept her promise by rescuing Lionel and giving him a large sum of money to start a business.

Meanwhile, on the ship, a woman wearing a red dress walked out of the living room and sat curiously next to Veronica.

She pointed at a carved wooden box and said, "Open it and see what's inside."

"Okay."

Veronica nodded and opened the box.

Inside was a document with the words 'Gold Mine Cooperation Agreement' written. Veronica's eyes lit up, and she looked at Eleanor, then at Matthew.

"Dominik gave this to you," she said while handing the document to Matthew.

"Well, at least he has a bit of a conscience." Eleanor sighed, and there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Veronica noticed Eleanor's disappointment and hugged her shoulders while comforting her.

"If you don't mind, you're also part of our family from now on."

The day before, in a secret room within the west zone research center, Eleanor had contacted an elder from the Elrod Clan to help Veronica expel the Gu poison from her body. Eleanor had been a great help on the matter, and Veronica and her husband were grateful.

Matthew looked at the agreement and gave a satisfied smile as it seemed like everything was as expected.

"I don't mind supporting one more person," he announced while raising the agreement in his hand.

"After all, the price has been paid."

In other words, Matthew didn't mind supporting Eleanor, but the money to support her came from her brother.

Hearing that, Eleanor smiled bitterly.

"He wouldn't let me go even if I fled to the ends of the earth."

That day, when she visited Matthew at the hospital, she asked Matthew to help fake her death.

After she faked her death, to avoid unnecessary suspicions, she took advantage of the chaos and set a fire in her palace, burning the fake corpse and destroying the face so that Dominik wouldn't suspect anything.

After that, Matthew took her to the One Piece Restaurant and hid her there.

When they set off, Veronica helped her with makeup and disguise so that she could board the ship smoothly and leave the Hidden Clan.

"Maybe not."

Matthew shook his head and took out a bank card from his suit pocket. He held it between his fingers before tossing it to Eleanor.

Eleanor caught the bank card with her bare hands.

"What does this mean? You want to provide for me?"

"Stop with your wishful thinking."

He pointed to the card and explained, "It's from Dominik. He figured out that you didn't die and specifically asked me to give it to you. The password is his birthday."

This was also the reason why Matthew helped Dominik.

Because the secret that Eleanor entrusted to him before leaving the hospital that day was to help her plan her 'death: If Eleanor 'died', the only one who could ascend to the position of head of the Hidden Clan would be Dominik.

Matthew's assistance to Dominik was also fulfilling the conditions and promises he made when he made Dominik help him replace the missing Veronica.

In addition, Dominik would be grateful to him and wouldn't make things difficult for him in the future.

Of course, this contract in his hand was also within Matthew's expectations.

"For real?" Eleanor asked dubiously.

"It's a Sizzerian bank card under your brother's account. Even if! can move mountains, I can't get a card without leaving the Hidden Clan, let alone a card with 1.5 billion in it," he explained, Eleanor took the bank card and suddenly felt a sense of sorrow.

She immediately got up and ran out of the living room. She ran onto the deck and looked in the direction of the Hidden Clan port with tears in her eyes.

That was where she had lived for more than twenty years, but she had to leave.

She was reluctant to leave, but she was also tired of the power struggles within the royal family and was eager to explore the colorful world outside the Hidden Clan.
