Matthew?
No matter how hard Xavier thought, he only had Matthew in mind.
His mood darkened as he wondered what had happened to Veronica the night before.
âWhat explanation can you give me?â
Tiffany screamed angrily, âHow am I supposed to face everyone? Ahâ¦â She sobbed, ashamed and heartbroken.
He ignored her and put out his cigarette. He then stretched out his hand and picked up his clothes to put them on, saying, âIf you want to call the cops, I wonât stop you.â
After saying that, he got up and went to the bathroom in a big hurry.
The bathroom door slammed shut with a âbangâ, blocking out the sound from outside.
In a fraction of a moment, the painful expression on Tiffanyâs face gradually faded, and she became fierce and vicious. âI will make you all pay the price!â she said, raising her slender fingers to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, trembling with rage.
When Xavier came out of the bathroom ten minutes later, Tiffany leaned on the bed frame, sat with her knees curled up and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. She did not look directly at him.
The man, who had never been in bed with another woman, was in a complicated and depressing mood.
âIâ¦I did not call the cops.â
What was the point of calling the cops if they had already slept together?
It will only make the police aware of the situation and make her even more embarrassed.
Furthermore, they only slept for one night, so she felt no loss; on the contrary, she could use this opportunity to get closer to Xavier.
This way, it would then be easier to deal with Veronica and exact vengeance on Melissa.
Tiffanyâs choice did not surprise him. With her current situation, exposing themselves would only cost her reputation. It was not worth the risk.
âI owe you this time. Iâll have someone bring you clothes later.â
Before leaving, he dressed and cast a glance at Tiffany.
She resembled Veronica so much, but even if he lingered on her, there were no expectations.
Not only that, it fueled his desire to win Veronica over.
After leaving the hotel, Xavier went straight to investigate the number that had dialed the hotel waiter the day before.
The investigation was progressing rapidly.
The mastermind behind the scene was discovered in less than an hour.
âIâve found it, Young Master Xavier. The person responsible for the hotelâs waiter arrangement is⦠It isâ¦â The investigator stuttered.
âMelissa?â
Xavier had already guessed it.
âItâs her.â
The investigator replied.
Xavierâs temples throbbed hard upon receiving a definitive response. He went straight to the hospital after hanging up the phone. He noticed Melissa lying on a hospital bed in the ward.
She was watching a short video while eating fruit, looking very relaxed.
He rushed to her side, and when she saw him enter, she exclaimed, âWhy are you here⦠Ah!â
Before she could finish his sentence, Xavier slapped her across the face and scolded, âAre you stupid?
Do you have to be amputated to learn to control yourself?â
Melissa, who had been slapped, was taken aback, but she quickly realized what he was implying.
âWhat did I do?â She raged, her hands pressed against her cheeks. âI just wanted to annihilate Veronica.â
âYou are my brother, but you favor Veronica in everything. Why?â Melissa shoved Xavier. âLook at my legs! If it werenât for that b*tch, I wouldnât be in this state right now. Do you have a problem? My legs have not recovered, and Iâm afraid I may be a cripple for the rest of my life. Even if I recover, Iâll never be able to dance again in my life. Donât you understand?!â
The shot in the knee shattered her meniscus, and even with surgery now, the consequences would be severe in the future.
How could Melissa bear such grievances when she had a domineering temperament and was regarded as a treasure in the Crawford Family?
However, she had no idea that the drug she put into the wine would harm her own brother.
âVeronica is now Old Mrs. Kingsâ goddaughter, and sheâs considered one of the Kings,â Xavier warned, narrowing his eyes and glaring at Melissa. If you keep messing around, youâll end up killing the entire Crawford Family.â
âAre you getting it confused?â
âRegardless of how much Old Mrs. Kings likes her, she is still an outsider,â she raged. âDo you think Elizabeth and Matthew would inflict harm on our family solely because of Veronica, causing us to suffer?â
After all, Veronica had overestimated the Crawford Familyâs power in Bloomstead.
âSuch ignorance!â
âI warn you for the last time. Donât play tricks on Veronica again; otherwise, donât blame me for being rude to you,â Xavier said as he got a headache from Melissaâs rage.
âHmph! Are you still my brother, Xavier? That vixen, Veronica, has enchanted you. You⦠Hey! Donât leave! Ah! Itâs so annoying!â
Xavier had already left the ward before her words were finished, which drove her insane.
â¦
Veronica was working in the office all morning. At noon, Matthew texted her, âWhen do you get off work?â
She glanced at the text message on her phone while in a meeting with a member of the sales team.
She then turned the phone over and set it aside, ignoring the text message, before she continued the meeting.
At this time, Matthew was playing with his phone in the Spinfluence Groupâs office. He then raised his eyes and glanced at his friends sitting in front of him before stretching out his hand to rub his temples in annoyance.
âDamn, Bro. You havenât gotten it done yet? Youâre wealthy and attractive, yet Veronica doesnât like you?â Sklyer asked.
âDidnât you say she had a first love? Is it possible that she hasnât forgotten her first love?â Miguel chimed in on the discussion.
As they mentioned his first love, Matthew subconsciously raised his gaze to Caleb, as if waiting for his response.
After exiting the underground chamber the last time, he ordered Caleb to investigate the person named âLarry Freemanâ mentioned by Veronica.
He was so preoccupied these days that he almost forgot about it.
âIâve been working on an anti-drug case for the past few days, and I almost forgot about this,â Caleb, who was dressed in a black trench coat, said as he leaned back and sat up straight. âMatt, Iâve looked into the person named âLarryâ. Heâs not a student from the university Veronica attends, but rather the school hunk of another university at the time. The point is that he is a few years older than Veronica, so they canât possibly know each other.â
âIs that it?â
Matthewâs handsome face expressed disappointment.
This was not what he had hoped for.
âIsnât that sufficient? Matt, this means that Veronica is deceiving you. Itâs very likely that she has never been in love.â
Sklyer assessed the situation right away.
âWhat Drew said makes sense,â Miguel said, nodding in agreement.
When Matthew heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he saw hope, and he fixed his gaze on Caleb, waiting for his response.
âThatâs not it.â
Caleb awkwardly touched his hair, saying, âVeronica and Larry have never met, but she has a first love.
The name is Hendrey Johnson.â
