Chapter 979 Driving A Wedge
Speaking of impartiality, Xavier felt that it was not fair. He began his pursuit for Veronica first, yet she
ended up with Matthew.
"My honor," exclaimed Matthew.
Xavier did not say anything because he knew everything in detail about what happened when Matthew
was in danger and how much Matthew sacrificed for Veronica. He hated Matthew most of the time, but
that did not stop him from admiring him; both contradictory emotions were torturing him. In addition to
those nightmares about Melissa that plagued him every night, exhaustion caught him up.

he picked it up. "Who is it?"
"Me, Matthew. Just wanna ask how you saved Tiffany back then."
Dominik was stunned by the sudden question. "I… don't know what you're talking about."
He just would not admit it.
"Then, I'll tell you." Matthew explained patiently, "Roni wasn't going after the leader's title when she first
came to the hidden clan. Waylen forced her to. The original plan was to leave in a few days, but he
kidnapped her. Now, he will seal her memories to control her so that she can lead the hidden clan."
Now that Matthew mixed the lie with the truth, not even Xavier could discern the validity in his words,
let alone Dominik.
"What's the use of telling me this?" Dominik feigned calmness.
"Once her memory is sealed, you or Eleanor might not be her match, not even when you join forces
because she's that smart. So, I'm hoping you can tell me where you saved Tiffany so I can find Roni.
Once we save her, we'll leave the hidden clan and your political games immediately. You'll get the best
out of this." Matthew was luring the prey in.
Meanwhile, Xavier was frowning while staring at Matthew. Did I just waste my time telling all those to
this man?
Dominik laughed. "Tempting, but unfortunately, I did not save Tiffany. I can't help you, man." He dared

difference from admitting that Tiffany attempted to kill Veronica in the mountain.
"I know what happened in the mountain. You want Roni dead, and I won't interfere with you. I just want
you to help me save her. Us leaving the hidden clan will only do good to you." Matthew was trying his
best to persuade the man. "Oh, one more thing. Before Tiffany died, Zac met Roni, saying he wanted to
work with her. He can help her be the leader, and she has to sign a contract with him once everything's
stable, handing over the ownership of a few major mineral minings. I bet you don't know this. Do you,
Your Highness?"
He had no choice but to drive a wedge between Zac and Dominik by accusing Zac. Dominik had his
eyes on the throne, hence the paranoia; he could not trust anyone easily, not even Zac, who shared the
same objective.
