Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 967

Chapter 967 Antheena’s Secret Plot

Zac sat in his chair, lazily sipping on the tea in his right hand.

"I came to you this late at night to help you with your problems, of course," Antheena answered, her eyes keenly staring at him.

His right hand trembled a little, shaking the tea in the cup. His eyes gleamed as he pointed at the couch across from him. "Take a seat."

She boldly sat down and went straight to the point. "Prince Zac, I know Matthew Kings is a thorn in your flesh that you wish to remove. I have a plan. Do you wish to listen to it?"

"What are the conditions?" He knew she would not offer help without getting something in return, so he was smart enough to ask about the conditions before proceeding.

"It's nothing difficult."

Zac crossed his legs and leaned back against the chair. He lifted his chin, looking confident. "Go ahead."

"Let's get rid of Matthew and Veronica!" she replied. "Matthew is the biggest threat to both of us. I want him dead more than you do."

As long as Matthew was alive, he would be protecting Veronica. To get rid of Veronica, she would need to remove Matthew first.

"Hahaha…" Zac laughed loudly, throwing his head back. "You went to great lengths for Xavier Crawford."

"Indeed."

"Don't you think you're getting the short end of the stick, doing all these for him?"

"I don't care about that if I love someone. I always get what I want." Her determination to kill Veronica was as steely as her unchanging love for Xavier. She had once saved Veronica's life, but that ungrateful woman dared to abduct her to blackmail Xavier. The incident had bugged her for a while, and she could not get over it.

"Great." Zac nodded and lifted the stump on his left arm, revealing a chilling smile. "I lost my hand because of her. I need to make her pay!" His blue eyes were scrunched-up, looking cold and distant like a hungry wolf ready to devour its prey and lick it clean.

"It's not easy to rid Matthew in the hidden clan with your current capability, Prince Zac, but I have someone in mind, who could work with you," she suggested outright.

"Who's that?"

"Dominik Ledger."

"Dominik Ledger?" He sat straight with a frown and fell into deep thoughts. "He has no grudge against Matthew. Why would he want to work with us?"

Antheena's flaming red lips curled into a polite smile while she secretly scorned Zac's stupidity. He's so dumb because he's blinded by hatred.

"Indeed, there's no conflict between him and Matthew. But, Prince Zac, if you give him something he yearns for, he will not turn down your request to work together."

"What do you mean?" His eyes lit up with eagerness.

"He's after the position of the hidden clan leader. Can't you tell?"

"The hidden clan practices matrilineal succession. As much as he wants to reign, he can only dream." The light went out of his eyes as he felt crushed and disappointed with Antheena.

"Xavier once told me that even in Destor's history, where kings mostly reigned, it witnessed the reign of the first female monarch, Queen Augusta. If she could break the outdated idea that women are inferior to men, why couldn't Dominik do the same?" She added, "Prince Zac, did you not notice Dominik's desire to rebel?"

Of course, Zac was aware of the intel she received as well. However, there was an issue. "How can I help him? And will he refuse to trust me? If he's crowned, will he consider getting rid of us because we're a threat to him?"
