Chapter 181
“S–so that was a charm after all?”
Everyone at the scene was frozen in place as they stared at the red snake that Xavier vomited.
One by one, their faces showed looks of disbelief. No one could’ve ever imagined that the esteemed heir of the Horst family, who had a bright and promising future ahead of him, had stooped this low just to court someone.
“Xavier, I never thought you’d be like this!” Claudia yelled angrily in shock.
Who knew that she’d be the one who would be deceived by trusting him too much in the end? She almost
became an accomplice in his schemes too!
“–” Xavier was at a loss for words as his face turned pale.
The truth was already laid bare for all to see, so even if he still insisted on denying it, his attempts would be
absolutely futile.
“Hmph. It’s a good thing Dustin has a good eye to see through your evil schemes. Otherwise, Sheila would’ve
fallen right into your trap!” Ruth spat, her expression full of contempt.
She hated cespicable and shameless men like him the most, the type who was incapable of landing a girl for
himself, and yet insisted on using unorthodox methods to do so. Absolutely disgusting!
Sheila said nothing to all of this and merely looked at Xavier with disgust and a heightened sense of
awareness.
“Yeah, so what if I gave her the charm? The only reason I did that was because I liked Sheila so much! I assure you that I’m the only person who’s the best match for Sheila in the entirety of South City, so much so that Uncle Caden already treats me like his son–in–law! I only did this to expedite the marriage between both of our families, so what’s so wrong with that?” Xavier roared, clearly irritated.
“Ugh, you’re such a hypocrite! It still doesn’t change the fact that you had to stoop so low to get what you
want. You’re disgusting!” Ruth spat on the ground.
“What do you know? What I have is true love for Sheila, a love that can’t be compared with anyone else!”
Xavier retorted angrily.
“True love? If it really was true love as you proclaimed, why’d you have to kidnap Miss Murray in the first
place?” Dustin snorted.
“What the fuck are you talking about, kid?” Xavier scowled.
“Miss Murray had been attacked twice, and your timing was right on the dot, which meant that someone
secretly tipped you off. And as for the Serpent Love Charm and the Spider Venom you put inside the Four
Scoundrel’s bodies, they both came from the same person. So, I’ve concluded that you have close ties to the Four Scoundrels,” Dustin explained as a matter of factly.
