Chapter 518 Matthew Is Going Down With Me

Xavier was caught off guard by Veronica’s kick. However, he managed to block it with his arm and counterattack due to his quick response.

Alas, the petite woman did a neat somersault and landed behind him. Before he could react, he felt something cold against the back of his head. “Don’t move!” Veronica warned in a low voice, “Hand Matthew over now.”

Thomas, who was standing by the side, was dumbfounded. “Wasn’t Young Master Matthew…” As the words came out of his mouth, Thomas’ eyes glinted with realization. “So, it was… a hoax?”

He frightfully dashed toward the sedan and opened the door. He scrutinized the person inside wearing Matthew’s clothes and had a similar figure to Matthew, only to realize he wasn’t Matthew.

Thomas was deceived because that person’s figure and hairstyle were similar to Matthew’s. Besides, his face was so swollen and bloody that it was hard to determine what he initially looked like. Plus, to make matters worse, Thomas’ attention was all on his brother, Troy.

Xavier took advantage of that as he was sure Thomas would not realize it, but he did not expect Veronica to show up.

Opposite them, Antheena, who had been a bystander all this while, immediately jumped to her feet and angrily questioned Veronica, “Veronica, you’re such a vicious woman. I’ve let you and Matthew go. What else do you want?”

Veronica held the gun against Xavier’s head with one hand and used the other to grip his shoulders. “Keep both hands up. Turn around.”

He complied with her fury-fueled orders. As he was turning around, he commented, “It seems like I’ve looked down on you. You’ve improved greatly in the six months I’ve not seen you.”

He knew she must have had some sort of trick up her sleeves. So, that was why he came over when Antheena wanted to grab the box from her. But, no matter how he tried to be careful, the odds were against him. He had to admit that he had underestimated her.
