Chapter 406 Monica Will Die
Prior to this, Xavier harbored a hatred against Veronica to the point that he had even imagined torturing
the damned woman badly when he encountered her. At that moment, he suddenly felt that there was a
huge gap between the two of them; it seemed that he was no longer good enough for her.
On the other end, Monica sobbed silently in pain as she scrambled up from the ground awkwardly. She
turned back to look at Xavier and Veronica before hastily rushing down the stairs.
Veronica had no choice but to sit by Xavier’s side and chat with him to allow Monica to escape safely.
“Although I haven’t been paying much attention to the matters of your family, I do realize that Hendric
used to be mean to you. After everything that happened, not only did he not comfort you, he forced you
into doing what he wanted. Frankly, he failed as a father.”
Initially, she had assumed that Hendric was upset with Xavier’s lack of capabilities, but she had ended
up realizing that Hendric harbored too much hatred against Xavier from the way Hendric treated his
own son.
Hendric was a difficult person with conflicting thoughts; on one hand, he wanted to treat Xavier kindly,
but on the other, he yearned to torture Xavier.
“Give Matthew a call and have him stop going after my family. Otherwise, Monica won’t be able to
leave this building.” Xavier ignored Veronica and brought up his condition.
“W-What do you mean?”
“Hendric wants to use the company as collateral, but have a guess at why all the banks refused to
approve the loan? It’s all because Matthew resorted to nasty tactics behind our back.”
Xavier shot a cold look at her, causing a shiver to run down Veronica’s spine.
“How did you know that?”
“Hah! Everyone in Bloomstead knows about this except you.” He gave a mock smile.
Yet… How could Veronica possibly have not realized it, though? Even if she had never delved deep
into the Crawford Family matters, she knew that Matthew must have secretly given instructions to the
banks, which they then had to evaluate the risks involving that loan.
Still, judging by the Crawford Family’s strengths, the banks would not have rejected them outright, so
there was still a chance of reversing things.
She only continued to speak in order to drag things on in hope that Monica would have more time to
escape. However…
With Xavier’s ‘Monica won’t be able to leave the building’, it was enough to make Veronica fearful.
“How much do you need for the business?” she asked as she spoke up.
“At least five hundred million.” Xavier was not being greedy; it was actually because he realized that the
banks might not approve the loan. Therefore, with five hundred million, he would be able to solve the
cash flow issue of their company at the moment and catch a break for the time being. Their family had
gone through a lot to get to their current position, so he did not want them to end up defeated by this.
“That’s such a huge sum. I…”
Just as she was stammering and about to change the topic, she noticed that Xavier had reached out
for the walkie-talkie and spoke to the person on the other end, “Tie up Monica. In five minutes, if I don’t
send you a text, then you can shove her off the building.”
“Yes, boss.” A crackle on the walkie-talkie was then followed up by a voice that rang out from the other
end.
At that point, Veronica’s heart thudded frantically and there was a layer of sweat coating her palms.
“Alright! I’ll give Matthew a call right now. Don’t make any rash decisions. Xavier, Monica’s innocent.
Please don’t do anything awful.”
At that point, she felt that it was such a shame for Monica to have been put through this ordeal of being
kidnapped by Xavier. If Monica lost her life because of her, then there was no way she could face
Monica’s little kid.
Come to think of it, Monica’s child was still in hospital and this was all due to Xavier.
If Xavier had not contacted Monica’s husband, Randall, in the past, then he would not have been
imprisoned; there would not have been all of the further occurrences. Randall’s mother was extremely
annoyed with Monica after that, which prompted her to attack Monica while accidentally hurting
Monica’s child in the process.
All of these seemed unrelated to him, but in fact, he was linked to everything.
Veronica heaved a sigh and took out her phone. Subsequently, she located Matthew’s name from the
list of blocked numbers. After some hesitation, she dialed his number.
The phone had just rung for a few seconds when the man on the other end answered the call right
away.
“Roni, where are you?” he asked.
However, this time, his voice sounded anxious and she had a bad feeling that perhaps he had found
out about something.
“What does that have to do with you?! Matthew, I wanna know what you have done to the Crawfords,”
she asked despite knowing the answer. She also attempted to keep the current tense situation from
Matthew as she was worried that he would sense something was odd from her tone of voice.
“You shouldn’t concern yourself about the Crawfords. I’ll deal with it myself.”
“What do you mean that you’ll deal with it yourself? Matthew, you’ve crossed the line with your actions.
Xavier’s my friend and he has helped me in many ways, so could you not push him to the brink of
desperation?” she hollered at Matthew on the phone.
As she spoke to Matthew, she signaled Xavier and indicated, It’s yet the right time to tell Matthew to
stop him from going after your family because he might suspect something.
“Where are you? Just tell me.” The man on the other end of the line did not answer her question but
directed another one at her instead.
His question made her heart sank and she could not come up with a response at all.
Indeed, shortly after that, Matthew mentioned, “Xavier’s by your side, am I right?”
At that point, Veronica was rendered speechless. Sometimes, it was not a good thing for one to be
overly intelligent.
“Matthew, if you want me to forgive you for this mistake, then I just have a simple request. Do not stop
the banks from approving the Crawford Family’s loan.”
“Are you trying to help Xavier?”
“Yes. No matter what happens, he used to be my friend.” Veronica appeared calm on the outside, but
she was actually frightened beyond her wits. She gripped her hand tightly in her pocket and continued
to gulp repeatedly out of fear.
“What if I say no?”
“Okay. If you reject my request today. then from now on, I don’t want to see you again.” Veronica
delivered her last ultimatum and hoped fervently that Matthew could agree to her request.
At that moment, Xavier suddenly lifted his wrist to remind her of the time by gesturing to his watch.
Her expression turned pale instantly and she immediately said to Matthew, “I’ll give you half an hour.
No! You’ve got fifteen minutes. If the bank doesn’t approve the Crawford Family loan, then our
relationship will end right here.”
The smart Veronica was clear that Matthew would have caught on to something by then. On one hand,
she hoped that he would come to her, so that Monica could be saved. On the other hand, she did not
want him to turn up because if he did, then it was likely that Xavier would lose his life.
This was the first time in her life that Veronica had ever felt so conflicted.
After finishing her words, she instantly hung up the phone.
She heaved a silent sigh and turned to Xavier, “I’ve spoken to Matthew and he has agreed to my terms.
Can you let Monica go in that case?”
“Fifteen minutes. I’ll wait for my family to give me the word. Roni, if things aren’t sorted, then Monica’s
death will be the token of death for our friendship too.” He smiled as he said that.
Puffing on the cigarette in between his lips, he revealed a slight smile; he looked weathered and slightly
pitiful, but the scar on his face seemed to be full of untold tales.
“You… Okay, fine. Let’s wait. We should wait and see, but there should be no issues there since
Matthew has agreed.”
Veronica silently prayed that Matthew would not screw things up. Otherwise, how was she going to
face Monica’s child in the future?
