Hendrey parked the car by the roadside and watched as Eleanor, wearing a red dress, got into a sedan and drove away.
Veronica then turned to face Iron Pillar, who gently brushed a strand of hair from her cheek, their posture intimate.
If Hendrey had any doubts before, he was now almost certain that the person in front of him was Matthew!
"He...not dead!"
The sudden revelation shocked Hendrey for a long time.
He eventually understood why the mastermind behind Zac's injury couldn't be found.
It turned out that Matthew was the culprit.
Last night, Zac met with Veronica and drugged her, but Xavier arrived just in time to save her.
After learning about this, Matthew confronted Zac and crippled his hand.
With this explanation, everything fell into place.
Hendrey tightly clenched the steering wheel, contemplating what Matthew was up to when he noticed Matthew looking in his direction near a shop not far away.
He moved his mouth as if saying something to Veronica, and then Veronica turned to look at him.
Their gazes locked onto him. However, it only lasted for a moment before they looked away and entered the shop holding each other's hands.
Hendrey's pupils were slightly dilated as he watched this somewhat incredulous scene.
If Matthew was pretending, why were they so bold when they saw him?
Hendrey looked around and confirmed that there was no one else they knew here other than him. Finally, he realized that they simply didn't care about him.
That was why they didn't even bother to pretend.
At One Piece Restaurant.
