Chapter 509 The Malevolent Antheena

Veronica could not understand why Xavier took her to the attic despite knowing that Hendrey was visiting. She figured that Xavier must have discovered something hence descided to bring her there.

Perhaps, he was trying to remind her about the tight security in the castle and that she should quell her preposterous thoughts.Don’t tell me he had found out about what happened last night?

She was uncertain. They entered the living room, only to see that Antheena was already there. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned around and cast her gaze onto them. The moment she caught sight of Hendrey, a smile appeared on her once cold yet gorgeous face as she scurried to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Hendrey, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you.”

She then gave him a peck on the cheek. Given that she was Xavier’s girlfriend, her intimate gesture toward Hendrey was nothing more than a form of greeting etiquette practiced in Castron. Still, it was obvious that she and Hendrey were close.

Despite the tranquility of her countenance, a storm was brewing inside Veronica.

Antheena and Hendrey are so close, so all this time he should have known that Xavier is still alive. Yet, he didn’t say a thing. What a sly fox.

“My little princess got prettier again.” Hendrey stroked Antheena’s hair gently with a soft smile.

“That is for sure! I am always pretty,” she said with unreserved confidence. Her straightforward demeanor was rather likable.

Then, they started to make small talk after getting themselves seated on the couch, whereas Veronica, who was sitting on another couch, was being left out of the conversation as though she was not even around. Even if she wished to join in, she had no rights to do so. Taking her leave was out of the question too.

She was finally relieved from the long agony of sitting on pins and needles when Xavier suggested, “Since it’s a good day, why don’t we play card games? Antheena loves to play card games the most, after all.”

“I’m up for it! Sebastian knows me the best!” Antheena hugged Xavier, who was sitting next to her, and kissed him.

“Let’s go then.” She rose to her feet and beckoned Veronica to come along.
