CHAPTER 1256 A SHOCKING NEWS

"I know you went to see Zac." Veronica turned her back to Matthew, holding his injured hand with both hands, afraid to move and hurt him.

"Did you go to see Xavier?" He was on point.

Before leaving, she repeatedly pleaded for Xavier, but now, she was sure that he went to find Zac, which meant she either went to see Xavier or had called him.

"I'm sorry, I was narrow-minded and misunderstood you." Since there was a mistake, one should admit it. She knew she had misunderstood Matthew and apologized to him.

"It's okay." He lightly kissed her on the top of her head. "Xavier saved you, so I won't kill him. But…" The man paused. "If he keeps seeking death, I hope you won't blame me."

"Okay." She reluctantly agreed.

Their ill-fated relationship resembled a dead knot, which would be better to ignore.

Sensing Veronica's sour mood, Matthew guessed what was happening and said, "Go to sleep early. It's late."

The two embraced each other and fell asleep, but with worries in their hearts, they both slept late. Not long after, the sky began to lighten, and when Veronica opened her eyes, Matthew had already left. She flipped over and continued to bury her head and sleep.

Bang, bang, bang…

After a while, someone knocked heavily on the door, waking her up. She lazily sat up from the bed. "Stop knocking." Then, she got up, put on her slippers, and walked to the door. When she opened it, she frowned at Mateo standing at the door. "Are you crazy, knocking like that?"

She had slept late last night and had also been drinking, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed.

"Hehehe, I was afraid you would sleep to death." He chuckled, his eyes lit up as he said, "Something big happened. I just received news that Zac's left hand was chopped last night. Apparently, Xavier did it, and he's been apprehended by Zac." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"His hand was chopped?" Veronica was shocked.

"Yes, by Xavier. I heard he also hit Zac last night, probably because Zac coveted his wife." Mateo was unclear about what happened last night, for he only heard rumors. So, he passed on the inaccurate information to her.

"Xavier has been caught?"

Last night, Matthew came back injured. Obviously, he went to settle the score with Zac, but seeing that Matthew was unharmed, and considering his reserve of Zac's status, he probably would only teach him a lesson. Surprisingly, she never expected Matthew to cut off Zac's left hand!

With a twist of events, Zac somehow believed it was Xavier's doing, thus apprehending him.

"Yes, he's been caught." Mateo nodded. Soon, he noticed Veronica's ashen face and asked with concern, "Roni, are you okay? Your face doesn't look good."

"I'm fine." She waved her hand. "I'm going to change." She returned to her room, closed the door, and changed her clothes while thinking about Zac's situation.

In a short while, she was ready and went downstairs after freshening up. A few people were already sitting in the dining room, and Matthew was still preparing breakfast.

She walked over and sat by him, giving him a meaningful look, then said to Crayson, "I told you yesterday to change the chef. Don't forget."

"Oh, Roni, why do you care so much about Iron Pillar?" Mateo rolled his eyes. "According to seniority, you should call me Master. After all, I teach you daily, so you should care more about me."
