Matthew looked down at his now-empty hand, as if he could still feel the warmth of her skin lingering there.
He rubbed his fingertips together, as if savoring the sensation of that fleeting touch. A strange emotion rose in his chest. He couldn't quite tell whether it was disappointment or deep longing.
Matthew raised his head and looked at Veronica again. She sat there quietly, looking calm and determined, as if nothing had happened.
Now that she knew the result, Veronica felt at peace. Her psychic power was far stronger than she'd imagined; she needed to rapidly enhance her strength to keep herself out of harm's way.
Meanwhile, Joshua was busy coordinating with a female envoy sent by the Holland family. The female had been personally appointed by Juliette to assist him, and their cooperation was crucial.
Lately, Joshua had been overwhelmed with responsibilities, juggling one issue after another. But he'd finally managed to piece together the truth behind the attack and had a clearer view of the bigger picture.
It turned out Juliette had no idea someone from her family had made contact with the Interstellar Political Center to arrange an assassination attempt on Matthew. It was only after Joshua informed her that she realized someone had acted so boldly behind her back.
Joshua had deliberately kept one detail from her—that the assassin was not only from the Holland family but still alive. The envoy's visit this time was to deal with that exact situation.
The Fraser family hadn't stopped investigating either. An attempt on Matthew's life wasn't just a personal matter—it was a direct threat to the entire family. So they were determined to get the assassin—dead or alive—and kept pressuring Joshua to hand him over.
And Joshua couldn't keep hiding the person forever. The envoy told Joshua that Juliette intended to hand the assassin over to the Fraser family, accept the blame, and break ties with the Interstellar Political Center.
The Interstellar Political Center had been lying low in the shadows after arranging for a member of the Holland family to assassinate Matthew. The Holland family was not going to take that lying down.
Matthew had mostly recovered from his injuries. It was getting harder to keep faking it.
Back in the day, Joshua had always been by Veronica's side. The two of them were practically inseparable, like the closest partners. But now, that spot seemed to have been taken by Matthew.
Veronica and Matthew walked side by side in the corridor. They both seemed calm, but their minds were in turmoil.
Suddenly, Matthew broke the short silence. He said casually, "Ms. Byrne, Joshua doesn't seem to have any plans to come to you recently. You don't know that, do you? Word is he's gotten pretty close to that female the Holland family sent."
Those words hit Veronica hard. She knew what Matthew was trying to do, but she still felt a deep sense of sadness.
Just as Veronica was lost in a tangle of complex emotions, she and Matthew bumped into Joshua.
Joshua stood there silently, eyes fixed on Veronica like she was the only one in the world. He completely ignored Matthew standing beside her.
Veronica tried her best to stay composed, not letting any emotion slip through. She didn't even look at Joshua, and as she brushed past him, she said indifferently, "Who he gets close to has nothing to do with me."
Joshua was heartbroken. He clenched his fists, fighting the frustration and pain bubbling up inside.
Standing beside Joshua, Matthew watched Veronica hurry away, a gloating smile on his face. He shook his head and said, "Joshua, you're too smart for your own good."
Then he jogged to catch up with Veronica, planning to take her out for a meal in Illusia's Garden. He'd heard she really loved the food there.
