Chapter 1183 What I'm Best At

Liam fainted on the spot. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In that instant, everyone was shocked.

Even the calm and composed Matthew had a profoundness and astonishment in his gaze as he looked at Xavier.

Although one in love was supposed to be selfish and not allow others to care, Matthew was surprised when he saw Xavier protecting Veronica.

Back at Primrose Residence, Xavier was the one who stood in front of Veronica and saved her life when Antheena was hunting her down.

Matthew kept this debt in his heart.

As someone who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges, he knew that he owed Skyler a favor.

"Take Liam to the hospital. You guys, protect the scene!"

Dominik, being clever as he was, naturally knew that Liam had ingested something he shouldn't have, which caused this reaction.

He turned his body and glanced at the people present. "Everyone, there is something suspicious about what happened today. No one is allowed to leave until it is investigated thoroughly."

"How dare anyone attack Big Bro Liam! Investigate thoroughly and find out the truth!" Eleanor angrily reprimanded and then pointed at Matthew. "And you! You dare lay a hand on the prince of the hidden clan? Lock him up!"

She didn't mention Xavier, only targeting Matthew.

Presumably, it was because Matthew had just challenged her dignity.

"Are you using your position for personal gain, Princess Eleanor?"

Veronica stood in front of Matthew. "Or is it that the hidden clan royalty can manipulate everything?" She pointed her finger at Liam, who was being held up by soldiers. "Liam intended to violate me in front of everyone. My bodyguard was just doing his duty."

She was still dizzy, but in order to force herself to stay awake, she tightly clenched her hands hanging by her side, with the nails of her left hand embedded in her palm. The pain that came made her maintain her consciousness.

The only thing she couldn't control was that her body felt weak and powerless.

"Even if he made the first move, it's not up to a mere bodyguard to retaliate!"

"Ha, how ridiculous." Veronica sneered. "Do you want him to violate me first before making a decision? Then, you should be grateful for Liam. If it wasn't for my bodyguard beating him, he might have already reported to the underworld."

"Enough." Dominik raised his hand to stop them. "Take them to the palace and have someone examine

the scene."

With that, everyone was taken into the palace and assigned rooms to rest in.

Perhaps to avoid collusion behind the scenes, each person was given a separate room with someone guarding outside.

Dominik promised that they would be allowed to leave before dawn.

Veronica was worried about Matthew, but the man only shook his head at her, indicating that she shouldn't worry. She couldn't say anything either.

Little did they know, Matthew was taken away and brought to a side hall after he separated from Veronica.

The hidden clan palace was grand and magnificent, and the side hall was also luxurious and ostentatious.

Matthew was brought into the side hall by two soldiers. He stood there, and in a short while, he saw Eleanor.

Eleanor held a snake-skin whip in her right hand, gently tapping it in her left palm. She took steps toward Matthew, circling around him, assessing him carefully.

Snap!

She suddenly whipped the whip, cutting through the air and making a piercing sound.

"Who are you exactly?" she asked.

Matthew lazily looked up and glanced at Eleanor. "Miss Veronica's bodyguard."

His response was calm and unassuming.

But it was precisely his composure that aroused Eleanor's curiosity even more.

Clenching the whip in her hand, she moved to his front and used the whip to lift his chin. "You probably don't know what I'm best at, do you?"

A confident smile appeared on her exotically exquisite face. "I'm best at the art of disguise."
