Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 502 Long Time No See, Xavier

The woman communicated in French. “Sebastian?” Veronica asked, slightly puzzled. “Oh, you understood? I thought you wouldn’t catch it.”

When the mysterious woman entered earlier, Veronica stood up and greeted her in English, leading her to believe that she could not understand French. “Come along with me,” the woman said coldly before turning around and walking away.

Without any hesitation, Veronica immediately followed suit before they exited the side chamber and made their way to the back of the palace.

She quietly followed the woman in front of her while occasionally hearing the patrol passing by greeting her ‘Princess’. Is this woman a princess?

She suspected that the woman might be the daughter of a powerful figure within the Black Ace Mob. How can I save Matthew when I’m up against such a formidable foe?

Suddenly, the confidence which she had harnessed earlier was slowly shrinking away. They were walking for a solid five minutes and Veronica was having a hard time keeping up as the woman walked efficiently. Soon, they made their way around to an attic and descended the stairs.

At that point, Veronica paused for a moment, clearly hesitating. Noticing the footsteps behind her had disappeared, the woman turned around to see Veronica standing still.

“You want to see Matthew, don’t you? How can you meet him if you’re just standing there?” she sneered lightly. Is this a trap down there? Veronica panicked inwardly.

Even Thomas was powerless now that Matthew was in the hands of this woman. Furthermore, the enemy summoned Veronica personally, implying that they were targeting her.

Without any much choice, she followed the woman down the stairs despite having thousands of reluctant voices screaming within her.

The spiral staircase brought the two ladies down to a basement, which was illuminated by all the lights in the room, appearing as bright as the day.

There were two floors in total in the basement; the first floor being a wine cellar at which the strong aroma of fermented grape filled the air; the second basement floor, on the other hand, was heavily guarded with a cage in clear sight.

Veronica had a feeling of unease in her heart. Is Matthew locked up in the cage? she pondered.
