Upon hearing the sound, the trio turned their heads in unison and noticed a man stepping out of a white Land Rover. He rushed toward Matthew in several steps, raising his fist and aiming it directly at his face.
Fortunately, Matthew was quick, and he blocked the punch even faster. “Xavier, what are you doing?” Xavier cracked his neck and stretched his legs, preparing for a fight. “I told you before. If you betray Veronica, don’t blame me for being impolite to you!”
Xavier used to think that Veronica and Matthew’s divorce was fake. However, recently, he saw the news on Twitter and happened to see a video on Instagram Stories when he arrived at Bloomstead today. The video showed Matthew offering flowers to Eviette, which was enough to prove that he had feelings for the latter.
Xavier was upset about it and drove straight to Production City. As a result, he saw Matthew opening the car door for Eviette and having a conversation with her.
Seeing that, Eviette immediately stood in front of Matthew. “Although I don’t know you, Matthew and Veronica had a peaceful divorce. None of them betrayed each other! Besides, this is Matthew and Veronica’s private matter. Who are you to interfere?”
Matthew didn’t expect Xavier to show up out of nowhere. He had intended to explain, but when he glanced around, he noticed a paparazzo. hiding behind a sedan, secretly taking pictures. Without a choice, he responded, “My relationship with her has nothing to do with you.”
Veronica, who was standing on the side, looked at the three of them back and forth as she found Matthew’s attitude even more unfathomable. She was even more upset about the ambiguity between Matthew and Eviette.
“Xavier, let’s go!” She walked up and grabbed Xavier’s arm, heading straight toward his Land Rover. It had been over a month since Veronica last saw Xavier. His skin had become tanned, and he was wearing black jeans, a white vest, and a khaki jacket. He exuded a handsome and mature aura, giving people a sense of security.
When Matthew saw Veronica leading Xavier. away, he couldn’t help but take a step forward, feeling a sudden clench in his heart.
Eviette watched Veronica and Xavier get into the car before she could be sure that Matthew and Veronica were really divorced. Her suspended heart could finally rest assured.
“Matthew, Veronica might not be in a good mood when she sees me. Perhaps it’ll make her better if she talks to a friend.” Eviette comforted Matthew..
Matthew watched as the white Land Rover drove out of the parking lot. He withdrew his gaze and entered the elevator with Eviette. On the other side, Xavier drove away with Veronica, leaving Production City and finally stopping on a secluded road.
Xavier turned off the engine and stared ahead, unable to hide the anger on his face. After a while, he turned to Veronica and questioned her, “Is this what you call a fake divorce? Are you sure Matthew doesn’t have feelings for Eviette?”
Veronica knew Xavier was angry, but she also felt very bad. She tilted her head and looked out the window. The sun was setting, and the night was falling. The night sky was dotted with twinkling stars, and everything was exceptionally quiet. However, her heart couldn’t calm down. Instead, it was restless.
“Does Antheena know you’re in Bloomstead?” she asked, avoiding his question. Xavier replied firmly, “Answer my question.”
Veronica continued to look out, but she rolled down the car window. The cool night breeze mixed with the scent of grass entered the car, helping her free some of her suppressed emotions.
“I said this before. You don’t have to be concerned about my affairs,” she said. “Fine!” Xavier responded loudly. “Since you don’t want me to interfere, does that mean I can seek revenge for Melissa?”
He held a deep grudge against Matthew, but because of Veronica, he had been reluctant to take action against him. Hence, Xavier lived in guilt every day for his deceased sister.
