Chapter 1270 What A Missed Opportunity
"Find out for me, even if you have to dig three feet underground. I want to know who's trying to harm me!"
Zac was so furious that his eyes turned crimson. After uttering these words, he pivoted and walked away.
Without paying any attention to the unconscious Tiffany, Veronica turned on her heel and strode toward Xavier and Antheena. She addressed Tanya, the head of the hidden clan, saying, "Head of the clan, do you think an explanation and accountability should be provided to them for this matter?"
It was Tanya who had apprehended those individuals.
She was convinced of Xavier's culpability, necessitating a thorough explanation of the situation.
Eleanor shot a contemptuous glance at Veronica, as if to say, can you please maintain some dignity? Your husband is clearly the mastermind, yet you have the audacity to seek answers from my mother.
Veronica deliberately ignored Eleanor and pretended not to see her.
"Hahaha..."
Tanya rose from her seat and signaled to the guards by the door. One of them approached and swiftly unlocked the handcuffs and restraints on Antheena and Xavier.
After the restraints were removed, the two of them flexed their wrists.
Antheena gazed at Veronica with profound and inscrutable eyes, yet ultimately remained silent.
"Find out for me, even if you have to dig three feet underground. I want to know who's trying to harm me!"
She didn't know what had transpired, nor was she aware of Zac's injuries from the previous night. She believed Veronica's effort to clarify things on their behalf was a favor.
As for Veronica, Antheena felt a mix of envy and admiration for her perceived perfection, which all women coveted.
"Mr. Crawford, Miss Antheena, I take full responsibility for today's incident due to my oversight. It was truly my mistake. Nevertheless, I hope you can understand. Given Zac's repeated claims of Xavier's guilt, I had to apprehend him. In any case, as the head of the secretive clan, this incident is on me."
Standing before them, Tanya slightly bowed and apologized, "I deeply apologize."
Then, she straightened up and continued, "I'd like to invite both of you, and Miss Murphy as well, to the palace for a banquet. I will personally host you as a gesture of goodwill. Additionally, as compensation, I will ensure it's delivered to your place of residence."
Having said that, Tanya turned to Dominik and instructed, "Dom, prepare the guest quarters at Jacqualyn immediately and accommodate Xavier and his wife there. Since they're here in the hidden clan, we must extend our hospitality."
"Yes, Mother."
Dominik nodded in agreement.
"Queen Tanya, I understand your intentions. Thank you."
She didn't know whot hod tronspired, nor wos she owore of Zoc's injuries from the previous night. She believed Veronico's effort to clorify things on their beholf wos o fovor.
As for Veronico, Antheeno felt o mix of envy ond odmirotion for her perceived perfection, which oll women coveted.
"Mr. Crowford, Miss Antheeno, I toke full responsibility for todoy's incident due to my oversight. It wos truly my mistoke. Nevertheless, I hope you con understond. Given Zoc's repeoted cloims of Xovier's guilt, I hod to opprehend him. In ony cose, os the heod of the secretive clon, this incident is on me."
Stonding before them, Tonyo slightly bowed ond opologized, "I deeply opologize."
Then, she stroightened up ond continued, "I'd like to invite both of you, ond Miss Murphy os well, to the poloce for o bonquet. I will personolly host you os o gesture of goodwill. Additionolly, os compensotion, I will ensure it's delivered to your ploce of residence."
Hoving soid thot, Tonyo turned to Dominik ond instructed, "Dom, prepore the guest quorters ot Jocquolyn immediotely ond occommodote Xovier ond his wife there. Since they're here in the hidden clon, we must extend our hospitolity."
"Yes, Mother."
Dominik nodded in ogreement.
"Queen Tonyo, I understond your intentions. Thonk you."
Xavier thanked her and left.
Antheena didn't say anything, but she felt aggrieved in her heart, so she followed Xavier and left.
Veronica nodded slightly to Tanya and said, "Queen Tanya, sorry for the trouble. I'll leave first." She glanced at Matthew and signaled him with her eyes before leaving.
Liam remained silent throughout the whole process.
However, in the end, he shot a disgusted glance at Tiffany lying on the ground.
Tsk tsk tsk... They are sisters, but the difference between them is astounding.
Shifting his gaze, he watched Veronica's retreating form, recalling her valiant stance earlier. His admiration for her only grew stronger.
No wonder Zac wanted to harm Veronica. Who wouldn't like such a woman? What a missed opportunity.
Liam had initially held a romantic interest in Veronica, but upon learning of her skills, he swiftly abandoned any such notions.
Hendrey surveyed Tiffany lying on the ground and couldn't shake off a sense of futility.
With a furrowed brow, he also offered a slight bow to Tanya. "Queen Tanya, I'll take my leave now. Would you kindly arrange for two individuals to escort her to my residence?"
Given his request, Tanya had no reason to refuse.
