Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 404 Xavier Has Gone Mad

“I expect nothing less from you, Roni. You’re clever as always. It’s me—you’ve guessed it right! Now, tell me, what should I do if you’re so clever?”

Despite the chuckle, Veronica was assaulted by a sense of insidious ferocity despite not being physically around him. “Stop beating around the bush. I don’t like it.”

It was not a surprise for her to know that it was him. Ever since he had tried to attack her but was hampered by Crayson’s timely arrival, she was aware that he would take revenge one day. It was just a matter of time; what was meant to be would eventually happen.

“I’ll text you an address. Let’s meet up,” suggested Xavier calmly before threatening, “You must come alone. If Matthew finds out about this, I’ll kill Monica.”

“Okay. I promise.” She agreed to his condition without a second thought.

“Cool. I like that decisive attitude of yours. Too bad you’re not mine,” he exclaimed with mixed feelings.

Xavier’s embittering words made her heart throb for some reason as her stomach churned. When they first met each other, he was the unwelcomed playboy in the Crawford Family. Yet, after spending time with him, Veronica realized that he was not that bad of a person.

Still, people were the imponderables themselves; who would have known that so much had changed between them within one year? She could only say that nothing was predictable in this cruel world.

After hanging up the phone, Veronica returned to the patient room and informed Shirley, “Monica has something on and she’s gone back to her parent’s place. I’ll leave the kid to you, but you may leave if you have something else urgent to do. Since it’s the ICU, the nurses can look after him. Don’t worry about it.”

“I see. What a relief. I was really scared just now.” Shirley trusted her words wholeheartedly and the doubts in her mind were dispelled.
