Chapter 1267 They Are Merely Friends
Only Xavier remained calm and collected during the chaos. He glanced at Veronica, and then his gaze
fell on Matthew. The two locked eyes for a moment.
With just one look, Veronica could feel the anger emanating from Xavier.
Zac began to settle down, and silence descended once more in the living room.
"Xavier, did you attack Prince Zac last night?" Tanya asked with the demeanor of the head of the clan.
Truthfully, Xavier responded, "Last night, I was sleeping with my wife in the hotel."
"Yes, that's right." Antheena nodded in agreement.
Last night, she and Xavier had a blissful night together, which was the happiest night of her life.
She was so worn out that she dozed off.
Antheena and Xavier were perplexed when those people arrived to capture them the following morning
before dawn until they learned of Zac's predicament and realized what was happening.
Trouble did indeed appear out of nowhere, as was frequently said.

just attitude.
"The hotel has surveillance videos that can prove that we never left the hotel," Antheena added.
"The surveillance videos are located at the main entrance of the hotel. But with Xavier's skills, he can
easily leave the hotel by scaling walls and rooftops," Eleanor said.
Even though Eleanor was aware that Xavier was not involved in this incident, she still wished to protect
Matthew.
She thought it was best to let Xavier take the blame.
"So what Princess Eleanor is trying to say is that I have no way to prove my innocence?" Xavier's eyes
turned cold, and he said each word with emphasis.
"Unless someone is willing to testify for you," Eleanor added.
"You are distorting the truth!" Antheena's eyes turned red with anger. "Xavier has no grudges against
Prince Zac. Why would he target him?"
"It's simple," Eleanor said lazily, leaning back in her chair. She rested her elbow on the armrest and
supported her chin with her hand.
She casually pointed her thin finger at Veronica, skipping over everyone else and landing on her. "It's
because of what Prince Zac did to Veronica. Last night at the Elysium Hotel, Prince Zac made a move
on her, and it was Xavier who arrived in time, fought Prince Zac, and left with Veronica in his arms."
Eleanor hit two birds with one stone with what she said.
She first made Zac's heinous deeds public, then she damaged Veronica's reputation, and finally, she
sowed discord between Xavier and Antheena.
After all, it was a fact that Xavier fought Zac at the Elysium Hotel last night.
Zac's face first turned pale and then red as he was listening to Eleanor's words. He felt that she was
deliberately provoking him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find any evidence, so the only thing he could do was swallow his anger and
frustration.

Xavier, "Is it true?"
"Yes." Wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, Xavier stood tall and straight, displaying no signs of being
a criminal.
His answer was firm and decisive.
In that instant, Antheena's heart shattered.
She couldn't help but stare at Veronica while also feeling enraged, envious, and other emotions.
Why? Why would Xavier go to such lengths to help Veronica?
"You see? Xavier has admitted it himself."
Eleanor added fuel to the fire by saying, "Although it is a fact that you are married to Xavier, it is widely
known that he likes Veronica. Prince Zac had crossed Xavier's line by manipulating Veronica, so he did
what he did. With solid evidence, how can you deny it?
"Ah, Antheena, don't be too sad. Since they've known one another for a very long time, Xavier and
Veronica do indeed get along well. I believe they are merely friends. Don't think too much about it."
