Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503 Xavier’s Intention of Killing Matthew

All the successive events that happened today were hard for Veronica to swallow all at once. Shaking her head, she wore a dazed expression. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t know.”

She pondered for a bit before asking, “Do you think that your sister’s death… has something to do with Matthew?”

If Melissa’s death has nothing to do with Matthew, then why would Xavier kidnap him?

But… Matthew isn’t such a cruel man. The woman in braids, who was standing behind her, seated herself to a nearby chair before lazily leaning over to the table and listened to their conversation.

Fishing out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, she was quietly smoking while trying her best to lower her presence.

One could see that Xavier’s hand, which was grabbing onto Veronica’s collar, was starting to tremble. From the popped veins to his tightly pursed lips, he was obviously holding his anger in.

Even though he did not answer her, Veronica already knew what the truth was. At that moment, a series of excuses hung by her lips, but she could not bring herself to say them.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know so much had happened.”

However, her words of apology were merely a futile attempt.

Although it was true that Veronica loathed Melissa, but for Xavier, she only felt avoidance and disdain toward him. In fact, she never truly hated him because he was once her ray of light in her before dark world.

Yet, who knew that at the end of the light was an infinite abyss?

Sure, he kidnapped her and put her life in threatening danger, but at the brink of her death, Xavier ignored Matthew’s hunting and did everything he could by risking his freedom to send her to the hospital.

Though the wounds she sustained that time was because of Xavier, he did not play the villain till the end.

Snorting, Xavier maintained a cold expression. “You don’t need to apologize. I won’t accept it either.”

He then turned around and walked to the woman with braids. “Antheena, give me a cigarette.”

It turned out that the woman was called Antheena.

She took out a cigarette for him before lighting it.

With a hand on his hips and the other holding the cigarette, he took a few drags.

From the start till the end, his back was facing Veronica.

“What are you planning to do now that you’ve kidnapped Matthew?” After hesitating for quite a while, Veronica finally asked the question she had been dreading to ask.

Vrrr, vrrr, vrrr… All of a sudden, Xavier’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took his phone and looked at the caller. As if he did not want Veronica to overhear the conversation, he distanced himself before taking the call.
