Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253 The Mysterious Man

“Ahhh!” the man screamed in agony as his face flushed red and the veins on his forehead bulged. His expression was both hideous and terrifying.

“Are you still not going to tell me?”

“Okay, fine. I’ll explain. Umm…” The blood was dripping from his hand as it continued to flow. He was trembling in pain as if he had lost his strength. “Someone just approached me… The person offered me money to spike the wine glass with poison and deliver it to the lady next to you.”

“Who gave you the command? What kind of reward did you receive?” Xavier inquired.

“It was a phone call. A man called and asked for my bank account information before transferring 100,000 to me,” the man explained truthfully.

Xavier then squatted down and took the phone from the man’s pocket. When he realized that the phone needed to be unlocked using face recognition, he turned it around to face the man.

The phone had been unlocked.

Xavier opened the call history and asked the injured man, “Which one?”

“The top one.”

The man was terrified that if he didn’t tell the truth, he would enrage Xavier and lose his life immediately.

Xavier quickly memorized the phone number using his photographic memory and opened the text message interface. As expected, it contained a bank transfer message.

“If you don’t want to die, you should leave Bloomstead.” After issuing a warning, he stood up and turned to leave.

However, after only a few steps, he felt unusually hot and the heat was unbearable.

He felt something was wrong after drinking the wine earlier.

He believed that Veronica had become Matthew’s godsister and that even if someone was targeted on such an occasion today, no one would be so eager to attack Veronica.

As a result, he misjudged the strength of his opponent! The ability of his opponent to court death!

An enraged Xavier had just fought with the waiter, which depleted his physical strength but accelerated the poison’s efficacy in his body.

He endured the pain and left the staff room, where he ran into Tiffany, who had come to find him.

When she saw Xavier, she made a cold face and asked, “We agreed to collaborate, Young Master Xavier. You’re really close to Veronica now, aren’t you?”

“Please… Please take me upstairs.”

He could only feel the drug attacking his body and at a fast rate.

To keep outsiders from discovering what was happening, he wrapped his arms around her neck, walked forward with her strength, and urged, “Quick, take me upstairs.”

What kind of drug was this?

It actually made him weaker and caused his body temperature to increase, which landed him with excruciating pain.

“Do you feel okay?” Tiffany inquired as she observed Xavier’s odd behavior.

He ordered her, “Go upstairs!”

She resisted at first, but she reasoned that if she wanted to work with him in the future, she needed to gain his trust now.

Then, she accompanied him upstairs to the private lounge.

Tiffany led Xavier to the 32nd floor, where she found a private lounge, walked in with him, and shut the door.

“Young Master Xavier, you seem a little ill. I’ll call a doctor.”

She was concerned because she noticed his body was burning while she was holding him.
