"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.
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."
