However, Veronica grew even angrier. She glared at Joshua, eyes wide with disbelief. "Right, you'd never hurt me—but what about Matthew? Joshua, I don't get it. Why would you resort to assassination over some family rivalry? Is this what you call loyalty and protection?"
Her voice was thick with anger and disappointment—she clearly couldn't understand how Joshua could have done something like that, and it tore at her.
Joshua immediately realized she had misunderstood him. He gave a wry smile and sighed. "Mistress, please, just hear me out. I swear, I didn't send anyone to assassinate Matthew. That wasn't me."
But Veronica didn't believe him. She looked at him coldly. "You really think saying that is enough to make me believe you? If you didn't send anyone, then what about the assassin? Who was he?"
Her tone was tinged with sarcasm and suspicion. Obviously, she wasn't buying his story.
Joshua knew it wouldn't be easy to earn her trust again, but he wasn't going to give up.
He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and explained, "Mistress, I know it's hard to believe me right now, but I really didn't send that man. I know who he is, and yes, I kept something from you.
"But I promise you this—I'll get to the bottom of it and give you the truth you deserve." He sounded intent on proving his innocence through his actions.
Veronica pressed on. "Then why did you lie? That man didn't die last night, did he?"
Joshua stood there speechless for a moment, feeling helpless and regretful. He knew Veronica was furious, and unless he could show her hard evidence, there was no way she'd calm down.
But at this point, he had no solid evidence to present. What was worse, the assassin was indeed connected to the Holland family.
As Joshua remained silent, Veronica was even more disappointed. She had hoped he would offer her a proper explanation. But now it seemed he had nothing to say.
She turned to leave, her steps firm and resolute, as if to tell Joshua she no longer trusted him.
Joshua watched Veronica walk away, a storm of emotions churning in his chest. He wanted to stop her, to explain everything, but he didn't know where to begin.
Last night, after the attack, Joshua had urgently gathered a few trusted men and secretly brought the assassin back to the cell. After that, he and Veronica took the injured Matthew to the hospital.
Once Matthew's wounds were treated, Joshua went to the cell to interrogate the assassin. He tried everything to get the man to talk, but the assassin kept his mouth shut, as if he had gone through intense training.
But after more careful questioning and observation, Joshua made a shocking discovery—the assassin was connected to the Holland family.
He had no idea why his family would do something like this, or what kind of conspiracy might be behind it. He immediately sent word to the main family, hoping for more support. But to his surprise, no reply ever came.
Joshua knew that if Veronica found out the assassin was a member of the Holland family, she'd probably misunderstand, so when she questioned him, he instinctively chose to hide the truth. Still, she had sensed something was off, and now, she doubted him.
Joshua stood outside the cell, staring at the assassin's back, a sad smile tugging at his lips.
He couldn't understand why the Holland family would send someone to kill Matthew and why they hadn't told him about it.
With steady steps, he walked into the dark, damp cell, the air thick with the stench of mold. He motioned to the beastman guard beside him, who immediately brought over a basin of cold water and splashed it mercilessly over the tightly chained assassin.
The cold water jolted the assassin awake. He shivered violently, his tightly shut eyes flying open, and he stared at Joshua in terror.
