Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1268 Xavier's Alibi

Tiffany attempted to make things worse by adding more fuel to the fire.

Antheena lost herself in her pain, laughing at herself and not knowing what to say.

"Xavier, do you have anything else to say?" Dominik, who had been silent, asked.

On the other hand, Liam, who was standing next to him, sat back, munching on junk food and watching the situation unfold.

Xavier looked at Matthew with a meaningful look and smirked. "You're not as good as him. There's nothing more to say."

The phrase "not as good as him" captured everyone's attention.

"I'm curious as to when Zac was hurt."

Veronica calmly spoke just as everyone believed the situation was resolved.

Tanya said, "The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. After the suspect injured Prince Zac, he was surrounded by his bodyguards and fought for almost half an hour. The time was between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m."

"Why are you asking this?" Tiffany sneered. "Are you trying to defend Xavier?"

Every chance Tiffany had, she had to attack Veronica.

Veronica couldn't be bothered with Tiffany and took out her phone while saying, "Last night at 2:30 a.m., I happened to go to the Caritas Hotel where Xavier was staying and stayed for about ten minutes. The time clashes with the time mentioned by Queen Tanya. So, I can prove that Xavier has nothing to do with this." Tiffany attempted to make things worse by adding more fuel to the fire.

Everyone in the living room gave her strange looks as soon as she finished speaking.

"You went to find Xavier in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't Xavier just say he was with his wife?"

"Oh my god. Are you putting your reputation on the line for Xavier?"

"Veronica, why were you meeting with Xavier so late at night?"

"What is your relationship with each other?"

…

Everyone was inquisitive.

Bang!

Suddenly, Zac slammed the table in anger and pointed at Veronica. "Nonsense! Are you trying to help Xavier? Let me tell you, I will kill him today!"

As he finished speaking, Zac reached for the handgun on the table and pointed it at Xavier.

Veronica and Xavier were standing very close to each other.

She moved forward at the crucial time in an attempt to pull him away, but she was too late because… Xavier was pushed aside by Matthew, who had already crossed in front of her.

Pow!

A gunshot was fired, missing its intended victim but striking a tree in the yard instead.

Everyone in the living room gove her stronge looks os soon os she finished speoking.

"You went to find Xovier in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't Xovier just soy he wos with his wife?"

"Oh my god. Are you putting your reputotion on the line for Xovier?"

"Veronico, why were you meeting with Xovier so lote ot night?"

Pow!

A gunshot wos fired, missing its intended victim but striking o tree in the yord insteod.

The leaves on the arm-thick tree shook.

"Zac, stop!" Veronica yelled.

She threw something from her hand, hitting Zac's right hand as he prepared to make another move. The gun in his hand dropped to the ground when his wrist started to hurt.

Many people were shocked by her quick and precise action.

Several of them, particularly the Ledgers, gave Veronica astonished looks as they continued to stare at

her.

Xavier, who had been shoved aside, stood firm and looked at Matthew doubtfully, then at Veronica. His emotions at this moment were complex and heavy.

If Veronica's actions last night had made him heartbroken, then her willingness to protect him by resorting to force against Zac moved him somewhat.

"Prince Zac, what's the rush about? I told you I met with Xavier last night. I have a video as evidence!"

She held her phone and played the video on it.

"This is the surveillance video from the hotel. It clearly shows when I entered the hotel and spoke with Xavier in the hallway. Both the testimonies and the physical evidence can provide an alibi for Xavier. What makes you so certain that Xavier did it?"
