Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Monica Will Die

Prior to this, Xavier harbored a hatred against Veronica to the point that he had even imagined torturing the damned woman badly when he encountered her. At that moment, he suddenly felt that there was a huge gap between the two of them; it seemed that he was no longer good enough for her.

On the other end, Monica sobbed silently in pain as she scrambled up from the ground awkwardly. She turned back to look at Xavier and Veronica before hastily rushing down the stairs.

Veronica had no choice but to sit by Xavier’s side and chat with him to allow Monica to escape safely.

“Although I haven’t been paying much attention to the matters of your family, I do realize that Hendric used to be mean to you. After everything that happened, not only did he not comfort you, he forced you into doing what he wanted. Frankly, he failed as a father.”

Initially, she had assumed that Hendric was upset with Xavier’s lack of capabilities, but she had ended up realizing that Hendric harbored too much hatred against Xavier from the way Hendric treated his own son.

Hendric was a difficult person with conflicting thoughts; on one hand, he wanted to treat Xavier kindly, but on the other, he yearned to torture Xavier.

“Give Matthew a call and have him stop going after my family. Otherwise, Monica won’t be able to leave this building.” Xavier ignored Veronica and brought up his condition.

“W-What do you mean?”

“Hendric wants to use the company as collateral, but have a guess at why all the banks refused to approve the loan? It’s all because Matthew resorted to nasty tactics behind our back.”

Xavier shot a cold look at her, causing a shiver to run down Veronica’s spine.

“How did you know that?”

“Hah! Everyone in Bloomstead knows about this except you.” He gave a mock smile.

Yet… How could Veronica possibly have not realized it, though? Even if she had never delved deep into the Crawford Family matters, she knew that Matthew must have secretly given instructions to the banks, which they then had to evaluate the risks involving that loan.

Still, judging by the Crawford Family’s strengths, the banks would not have rejected them outright, so there was still a chance of reversing things.

She only continued to speak in order to drag things on in hope that Monica would have more time to escape. However…

With Xavier’s ‘Monica won’t be able to leave the building’, it was enough to make Veronica fearful.

“How much do you need for the business?” she asked as she spoke up.

“At least five hundred million.” Xavier was not being greedy; it was actually because he realized that the banks might not approve the loan. Therefore, with five hundred million, he would be able to solve the cash flow issue of their company at the moment and catch a break for the time being. Their family had gone through a lot to get to their current position, so he did not want them to end up defeated by this.

“That’s such a huge sum. I…”

Just as she was stammering and about to change the topic, she noticed that Xavier had reached out for the walkie-talkie and spoke to the person on the other end, “Tie up Monica. In five minutes, if I don’t send you a text, then you can shove her off the building.”

“Yes, boss.” A crackle on the walkie-talkie was then followed up by a voice that rang out from the other end.

At that point, Veronica’s heart thudded frantically and there was a layer of sweat coating her palms.

“Alright! I’ll give Matthew a call right now. Don’t make any rash decisions. Xavier, Monica’s innocent. Please don’t do anything awful.”

At that point, she felt that it was such a shame for Monica to have been put through this ordeal of being kidnapped by Xavier. If Monica lost her life because of her, then there was no way she could face Monica’s little kid.

Come to think of it, Monica’s child was still in hospital and this was all due to Xavier.

If Xavier had not contacted Monica’s husband, Randall, in the past, then he would not have been imprisoned; there would not have been all of the further occurrences. Randall’s mother was extremely annoyed with Monica after that, which prompted her to attack Monica while accidentally hurting Monica’s child in the process.
