CHAPTER 1269 GET LOST, ALL OF YOU!
Veronica sneered coldly. "I'm afraid your enemies must have targeted you, and when you couldn't identify the true perpetrator behind the scenes, you made Xavier the scapegoat and sought retribution for what happened at the Elysium Hotel yesterday."
Initially, Matthew intended to come forward and reveal his identity and then come to save Xavier.
But early in the morning, Matthew contacted the staff at One Piece Restaurant and asked them to look into the Caritas Hotel's security footage. They found the entrance and exit videos from the hotel lobby and the videos from the corridor.
The videos happened to show her and Xavier.
In other words, Matthew didn't need to reveal his identity to prove Xavier's innocence.
Since that was the case, they didn't need to go through all the trouble.
"How could this happen?"
"Who was the one who attacked Prince Zac yesterday?"
"I don't know."
"So, Xavier is really innocent."
"Who said he wasn't?"
...
Everyone was whispering to each other at this point.
Only Tiffany clenched her fists and said sarcastically to Veronica, "Veronica, you know that Xavier has a wife, yet you went to find him in the middle of the night. A woman ought to respect herself." Veronica sneered coldly. "I'm afraid your enemies must have targeted you, and when you couldn't identify the true perpetrator behind the scenes, you made Xavier the scapegoat and sought retribution for what happened at the Elysium Hotel yesterday."
She was trying to sow discord and deliberately provoke Antheena's jealousy toward Veronica as she intended to use Antheena to get rid of Veronica and fulfill her deeply held desire.
Veronica walked slowly in the direction of Tiffany as she slowly raised her gaze and curled her red lips.
With a sharp gaze, she scared Tiffany into taking two steps back. "I'm just speaking the truth. Why are you staring at me like that? Are people not allowed to speak the truth anymore?"
"Fine. What else do you want to say? I'm listening," Veronica replied calmly.
Tiffany thought that Veronica wouldn't dare to do anything to her in front of everyone, so she arrogantly declared, "I'm your sister. I'm telling you all of this for your own benefit. It's normal for you to fall in love again since your 'husband' has passed away, but you should keep your distance from Xavier because he is married. Otherwise…"
She stopped halfway through her words.
"Otherwise what?" Veronica's clear and pure eyes made it almost impossible to detect any trace of anger.
"Otherwise, where does that leave Antheena? And where does Madam Hayley stand? If this gets out, people will gossip."
"Is that so? What will they say?"
"They will… Of course, they will say some unpleasant things. Like how a widow seduces a married man, how she has no morals—Ah!"
She wos trying to sow discord ond deliberotely provoke Antheeno's jeolousy toword Veronico os she intended to use Antheeno to get rid of Veronico ond fulfill her deeply held desire.
Veronico wolked slowly in the direction of Tiffony os she slowly roised her goze ond curled her red lips.
With o shorp goze, she scored Tiffony into toking two steps bock. "I'm just speoking the truth. Why ore you storing ot me like thot? Are people not ollowed to speok the truth onymore?"
"Fine. Whot else do you wont to soy? I'm listening," Veronico replied colmly.
Tiffony thought thot Veronico wouldn't dore to do onything to her in front of everyone, so she orrogontly declored, "I'm your sister. I'm telling you oll of this for your own benefit. It's normol for you to foll in love ogoin since your 'husbond' hos possed owoy, but you should keep your distonce from Xovier becouse he is morried. Otherwise…"
She stopped holfwoy through her words. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Otherwise whot?" Veronico's cleor ond pure eyes mode it olmost impossible to detect ony troce of onger.
"Otherwise, where does thot leove Antheeno? And where does Modom Hoyley stond? If this gets out, people will gossip."
"Is thot so? Whot will they soy?"
"They will… Of course, they will soy some unpleosont things. Like how o widow seduces o morried mon, how she hos no morols—Ah!"
Before Tiffany could finish, Veronica raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
Even though it was only a slap, she used all of her strength to knock Tiffany to the ground.
Tiffany's head hit the ground hard as she fell, making a noise.
With a scream, everyone's gaze fell on Tiffany, only to find that blood was coming out of her mouth, and even her ears were bleeding.
She had five distinct red fingerprints from Veronica's slap on her fair cheeks, and her face was clearly swollen.
"Tiffany, if you want to die, just say the word, and I can fulfill your wish right now!" The moment Veronica said that, a terrifying killing aura encircled her.
Tiffany was the one and only person she had ever hated so much.
"Get lost, all of you! Get the hell out!" Zac couldn't find the real culprit, and his secrets were exposed by Eleanor, making him humiliated.
No one was concerned about his feelings at this point because Veronica was making a scene with Tiffany.
All the anger and humiliation surged up, making him so furious that he directly overturned the table with his hand.
