Chapter 255 The Bloody Woman Lied to Him Once More
Who went wild with her?
Matthew?
No matter how hard Xavier thought, he only had Matthew in mind.
His mood darkened as he wondered what had happened to Veronica the night before.
“What explanation can you give me?”
Tiffany screamed angrily, “How am I supposed to face everyone? Ah…” She sobbed, ashamed and heartbroken.
He ignored her and put out his cigarette. He then stretched out his hand and picked up his clothes to put them on, saying, “If you want to call the cops, I won’t stop you.”
After saying that, he got up and went to the bathroom in a big hurry.
The bathroom door slammed shut with a ‘bang’, blocking out the sound from outside.
In a fraction of a moment, the painful expression on Tiffany’s face gradually faded, and she became fierce and vicious. “I will make you all pay the price!” she said, raising her slender fingers to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, trembling with rage.
When Xavier came out of the bathroom ten minutes later, Tiffany leaned on the bed frame, sat with her knees curled up and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. She did not look directly at him.
The man, who had never been in bed with another woman, was in a complicated and depressing mood.
“I…I did not call the cops.”
What was the point of calling the cops if they had already slept together?
It will only make the police aware of the situation and make her even more embarrassed.
Furthermore, they only slept for one night, so she felt no loss; on the contrary, she could use this opportunity to get closer to Xavier.
This way, it would then be easier to deal with Veronica and exact vengeance on Melissa.
Tiffany’s choice did not surprise him. With her current situation, exposing themselves would only cost her reputation. It was not worth the risk.
“I owe you this time. I’ll have someone bring you clothes later.”
Before leaving, he dressed and cast a glance at Tiffany.
She resembled Veronica so much, but even if he lingered on her, there were no expectations.
Not only that, it fueled his desire to win Veronica over.
After leaving the hotel, Xavier went straight to investigate the number that had dialed the hotel waiter the day before.
The investigation was progressing rapidly.
The mastermind behind the scene was discovered in less than an hour.
“I’ve found it, Young Master Xavier. The person responsible for the hotel’s waiter arrangement is… It is…” The investigator stuttered.
“Melissa?”
Xavier had already guessed it.
“It’s her.”
The investigator replied.
Xavier’s temples throbbed hard upon receiving a definitive response. He went straight to the hospital after hanging up the phone. He noticed Melissa lying on a hospital bed in the ward.
She was watching a short video while eating fruit, looking very relaxed.
He rushed to her side, and when she saw him enter, she exclaimed, “Why are you here… Ah!”
Before she could finish his sentence, Xavier slapped her across the face and scolded, “Are you stupid? Do you have to be amputated to learn to control yourself?”
Melissa, who had been slapped, was taken aback, but she quickly realized what he was implying.
“What did I do?” She raged, her hands pressed against her cheeks. “I just wanted to annihilate Veronica.”
“You are my brother, but you favor Veronica in everything. Why?” Melissa shoved Xavier. “Look at my legs! If it weren’t for that b*tch, I wouldn’t be in this state right now. Do you have a problem? My legs have not recovered, and I’m afraid I may be a cripple for the rest of my life. Even if I recover, I’ll never be able to dance again in my life. Don’t you understand?!”
The shot in the knee shattered her meniscus, and even with surgery now, the consequences would be severe in the future.
How could Melissa bear such grievances when she had a domineering temperament and was regarded as a treasure in the Crawford Family?
However, she had no idea that the drug she put into the wine would harm her own brother.
“Veronica is now Old Mrs. Kings’ goddaughter, and she’s considered one of the Kings,” Xavier warned, narrowing his eyes and glaring at Melissa. If you keep messing around, you’ll end up killing the entire Crawford Family.”
“Are you getting it confused?”
“Regardless of how much Old Mrs. Kings likes her, she is still an outsider,” she raged. “Do you think Elizabeth and Matthew would inflict harm on our family solely because of Veronica, causing us to suffer?”
After all, Veronica had overestimated the Crawford Family’s power in Bloomstead.
“Such ignorance!”
“I warn you for the last time. Don’t play tricks on Veronica again; otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you,” Xavier said as he got a headache from Melissa’s rage.
“Hmph! Are you still my brother, Xavier? That vixen, Veronica, has enchanted you. You… Hey! Don’t leave! Ah! It’s so annoying!”
Xavier had already left the ward before her words were finished, which drove her insane.
…
Veronica was working in the office all morning. At noon, Matthew texted her, ‘When do you get off work?’
She glanced at the text message on her phone while in a meeting with a member of the sales team. She then turned the phone over and set it aside, ignoring the text message, before she continued the meeting.
At this time, Matthew was playing with his phone in the Spinfluence Group’s office. He then raised his eyes and glanced at his friends sitting in front of him before stretching out his hand to rub his temples in annoyance.
“Damn, Bro. You haven’t gotten it done yet? You’re wealthy and attractive, yet Veronica doesn’t like you?” Sklyer asked.
“Didn’t you say she had a first love? Is it possible that she hasn’t forgotten her first love?” Miguel chimed in on the discussion.
As they mentioned his first love, Matthew subconsciously raised his gaze to Caleb, as if waiting for his response.
After exiting the underground chamber the last time, he ordered Caleb to investigate the person named ‘Larry Freeman’ mentioned by Veronica.
He was so preoccupied these days that he almost forgot about it.
“I’ve been working on an anti-drug case for the past few days, and I almost forgot about this,” Caleb, who was dressed in a black trench coat, said as he leaned back and sat up straight. “Matt, I’ve looked into the person named ‘Larry’. He’s not a student from the university Veronica attends, but rather the school hunk of another university at the time. The point is that he is a few years older than Veronica, so they can’t possibly know each other.”
“Is that it?”
Matthew’s handsome face expressed disappointment.
This was not what he had hoped for.
“Isn’t that sufficient? Matt, this means that Veronica is deceiving you. It’s very likely that she has never been in love.”
Sklyer assessed the situation right away.
“What Drew said makes sense,” Miguel said, nodding in agreement.
When Matthew heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he saw hope, and he fixed his gaze on Caleb, waiting for his response.
“That’s not it.”
Caleb awkwardly touched his hair, saying, “Veronica and Larry have never met, but she has a first love. The name is Hendrey Johnson.”
