Chapter 1730 Meeting with Flake

• Xavier noticed a subtle shift in the expressions of Veronica and Matthew and immediately grew concerned that they might misunderstand the situation. He quickly explained, "Antheena and I only found out today as well. It was Joey who captured the person. We had no idea he would hide them in a secret chamber within the castle."
• "Thanks," Matthew replied, setting aside any past grievances with a simple word of appreciation.
• As the saying goes, "It was better to resolve a grudge than to keep it festering." For Matthew, this held true, especially considering Antheena's father was none other than Flake. If he could somehow turn this situation around and forge an alliance with Antheena, it would be all gain and no loss. After all, businessmen were always adept at weighing the pros and cons of a situation.
