Veronica's lips curled into a cold smile as she explained, "I was worried that your enemies would take revenge on you and you wouldn't be able to locate the mastermind. That was why I used Xavier as the scapegoat to avenge what you did to him yesterday at the Elysium Hotel.
She had initially planned to reveal their identities before rescuing Xavier.
However, Matthew had contacted folks from One Piece Restaurant earlier that morning and asked them to investigate the surveillance footage from the Caritas Hotel. They found not only the footage from the entrance and exit of the hotel lobby but of the corridor as well.
The video was a piece of good evidence to expose Veronica and Xavier.
In other words, Matthew did not need to reveal his identity to exonerate Xavier from the alleged crime.
Since the matter had happened like that, there was not much they needed to do anymore.
"How did it become like this?"
"Who attacked Prince Zac yesterday?"
"Beats me."
"It seems that Xavier is an innocent party all along."
"Who said he wasn't?"
…
The people who were present started to engage in whispered discussion.
Only Tiffany clenched her fist and spoke to Veronica mystically, "Veronica, you know that Xavier is married, but you still looked for him in the wee hours of the morning. As a woman, you should have some self-respect."
She was deliberately trying to fan the flames to incite Antheena's jealousy of Veronica.
It was Tiffany's way of using Antheena to deal with Veronica and fulfill her long-cherished wish.
Veronica lazily looked up and curled her red lips before she slowly approached Tiffany.
Veronica's sharp gaze on her was enough to scare the lights out of Tiffany, who retreated two steps in fear. "I'm telling the truth, so why do you have to glare at me? Is it because you don't want others to know the truth?"
