"Investigate it, even if you have to dig three feet underground. I want to see who has the nerve to kill me!"
Zac's eyes were red with anger as he turned around without saying anything else.
Veronica ignored the injured Tiffany and made her way in front of Xavier and Antheena. Then, she addressed Tanya, "Queen Tanya, don't you think you owe them an explanation about Zac's injuries?"
Tanya was the one who captured Xavier and swore that he was guilty, so she needed to explain his involvement in the matter.
Eleanor shot Veronica a pleading look. It was as if to say, Please have some self-awareness. Your husband is the culprit and yet, you are holding my mother accountable?
Veronica deliberately turned a blind eye to Eleanor.
"Hahaha…"
Tanya rose to her full height and went to the soldiers guarding the door to unlock the handcuffs and shackles of Antheena and Xavier.
She removed the handcuffs and shackles and they rattled upon dropping to the floor. Antheena and Xavier shook their wrists.
Even though Antheena looked at Veronica with an indecipherable look, she said nothing in the end.
She had no idea how the situation unfolded, so she naturally wouldn't know how Zac was injured last night. As a result, she thought that Veronica standing up for them was an act of kindness.
Antheena had a mixture of jealousy and admiration for Veronica because the latter was so perfect that the female population was jealous of her.
"Mr. Crawford, Miss Antheena, what happened today was a result of my negligence. It's indeed my fault. I do hope that you'll understand the situation from my point of view. Zac was the one who said that Mr. Crawford was the mastermind, so I could only capture him as a result. No matter what, as the head of the clan, I'm also at fault."
