Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Xavier, Are You Out of Your Mind?!

This decision was perhaps the worst move that Xavier had made. Veronica ignored him and helped him down the stairs. He had trouble walking properly, so it took him quite some time to get down the stairs.

For a moment of thought, she was thinking about exacting revenge on Xavier, but she knew that he was near desperation. If she actually took control of him and threatened his subordinates to release Monica and Shirley, there was a chance that he might choose to take everyone down along with him.

That was because the Crawfords would undoubtedly face complete destruction if they did not manage to obtain the five hundred million as cash flow.

If they lost everything, then there was no way that Hendric would let Xavier off the hook. As such, Veronica did not dare to act rashly.

After quite some time, they finally got down the stairs and there was a car waiting below. Xavier pointed at the car and indicated for her to enter it.

The bodyguard inside the car saw the two of them approaching and he instantly opened the car door for the duo to get in. Subsequently, the bodyguard entered the driver’s seat and drove off.

Their car drove off gradually and Veronica’s heart was in her mouth the entire time. “Roni, what do you reckon? Where should we head to right now?”

“It’s up to you,” she mentioned coldly but he merely responded, “Let’s go to Collins.”

Collins? Collins was her hometown and Veronica had no idea why Xavier wanted to make his way there. Perhaps it was just a transit point for him, so she did not bother to ask him.

Ten minutes later, Veronica’s phone went off. She tilted her head to glance at the screen and it was Matthew’s number that appeared on there. However, her phone was with Xavier, so she could not take the call.

She leaned back in her seat and took a rest to preserve her energy. She planned to leave after ensuring Monica and Shirley’s safety, hence all she could do now was wait patiently.

Originally, after receiving Matthew’s WhatsApp message, she replied with her location. After she sent that message, she deleted the message from her end rather than recalling the message.

Subsequently, she replied to him with another message by insisting that she did not want any cake from him.

That was her way of responding to Matthew to indicate that she was in dire straits.

After that, he no longer replied to her message.

Veronica prayed silently for him to arrive as soon as possible and succeed in rescuing both Monica and Shirley.

On the other end, Matthew brought Thomas and a group of men along with him to the deserted building.

There were ten cars parked in front of the deserted building and all of the bodyguards alighted from the cars; there were more than ten of them.

Matthew gestured with his hand as he spoke, “Search the building and find them!”

“Yes, Young Master Matthew.”

Under Matthew’s instructions, everyone went off to search for the girls. However, he was told that there was no one at all after a few minutes of exploring.

Matthew frowned and the uneasy feeling within him deepened. He stood in his original spot and gave Troy a call to ask, “What’s going on? Have you captured them?”

“Young Master Matthew, we’ve captured Melissa and her family members, but that crafty old man, Hendric, got away.”

“Okay. Send our men to wait along each exit of the highway,” Matthew gave his instruction and turned around to enter the car.

Xavier had made such a brazen act today to kidnap Veronica because this was his last bid at gaining a way out for their family. Ultimately, this had been a futile effort that meant nothing. The only minimal thing he gained out of this was that he had managed to succeed in taking Veronica hostage.
