Liam fainted on the spot.
In that instant, everyone was shocked.
Even the calm and composed Matthew had a profoundness and astonishment in his gaze as he looked at Xavier.
Although one in love was supposed to be selfish and not allow others to care, Matthew was surprised when he saw Xavier protecting Veronica.
Back at Primrose Residence, Xavier was the one who stood in front of Veronica and saved her life when Antheena was hunting her down.
Matthew kept this debt in his heart.
As someone who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges, he knew that he owed Skyler a favor.
"Take Liam to the hospital. You guys, protect the scene!"
Dominik, being clever as he was, naturally knew that Liam had ingested something he shouldn't have, which caused this reaction.
He turned his body and glanced at the people present. "Everyone, there is something suspicious about what happened today. No one is allowed to leave until it is investigated thoroughly."
"How dare anyone attack Big Bro Liam! Investigate thoroughly and find out the truth!" Eleanor angrily reprimanded and then pointed at Matthew. "And you! You dare lay a hand on the prince of the hidden clan? Lock him up!"
She didn't mention Xavier, only targeting Matthew.
Presumably, it was because Matthew had just challenged her dignity.
"Are you using your position for personal gain, Princess Eleanor?"
Veronica stood in front of Matthew. "Or is it that the hidden clan royalty can manipulate everything?" She pointed her finger at Liam, who was being held up by soldiers. "Liam intended to violate me in front of everyone. My bodyguard was just doing his duty."
She was still dizzy, but in order to force herself to stay awake, she tightly clenched her hands hanging by her side, with the nails of her left hand embedded in her palm. The pain that came made her maintain her consciousness.
The only thing she couldn't control was that her body felt weak and powerless.
"Even if he made the first move, it's not up to a mere bodyguard to retaliate!"
