Chapter 508 Hendrey’s Appearance
Veronica froze as her face showed the slightest hint of surprise before it returned to normal. “Friend?
What friend?” She suddenly had a foreboding thought. “You’ll know soon enough.” Xavier placed the
glass of milk and sandwich in front of her. “Eat up.”
Stating that calmly, he then started digging in his breakfast. The ambiguity of his words made Veronica
feel very uneasy. With no one else at the dining table, the place was eerily quiet as the two silently ate.
Even after the sandwich was finished, she did not remember what it tasted like as anxiety totally
engulfed her, leading her to think that the food was tasteless.
Picking up the glass of milk, Veronica took a huge gulp before setting it down. She subconsciously
spared a glance at Xavier, who was sitting opposite her, and his cold eyes further unsettled her.
“Let’s go.” He tossed the tissue onto the table and headed outside while she followed suit silently. They
left the west side of the castle and walked toward the main chamber.
Keeping a close eye out, Veronica was secretly marking down the hallways and patrol routes of the
castle. In the end, what surprised her was that Xavier did not bring her to the main building but to the
observation tower beside it.
The attic was in a very high up place with French windows surrounding the room while equipped with
surveillance equipment and telescopes. “Why did you bring me here?” Veronica was perplexed. Even
though she appeared calm on the outside, she was very frantic inside.
With such tight security, even if she told Thomas roughly where Matthew was kept, they might not
successfully infiltrate the castle.
Ignoring her, Xavier walked to the window facing the main gate of the castle and sat down on a chair.
“I’m waiting for someone.”
“Waiting for… someone? Who is it?”
“You’ll know when they arrive.” Xavier’s reply was akin to him not revealing anything, for it only served
to make Veronica more uneasy.
After a long wait, a sedan slowly drove into the compound an hour later.
“They’re here,” said Xavier.
Veronica immediately shifted her attention to the black sedan. Due to the height of the attic, she could
not see properly when viewing from such a distance.
Hence, she took a telescope and aimed it downstairs only to find that a man in a white suit had just
alighted from the car.
That man was none other than… Hendrey!
“It’s him?” Veronica was shocked. Not only Ruka was searching for him for a very long time now, she
could not uncover anything either no matter how hard she tried. Nobody could have guessed that he
would appear in this castle.
“Do you know who lured Matthew into the trap?” Xavier hinted at her while raising his eyebrows.
“Are you saying that it was Hendrey?”
“Who else but him?” His nonchalant reply made Veronica sink into deep disbelief as she reached out
involuntarily and touched her bracelet.
Back then, it was Hendrey that gave her this bracelet when he was about to leave Bloomstead.
Initially, she only thought that there was more to his identity, but she figured that he was not hostile
toward her. Now, it seemed like she was too naive.
Without saying a word, Veronica ran downstairs.
On the other hand, Xavier slowly rose to his feet and followed her.
By the elevator, she quickly arrived at the ground floor since nobody was occupying it.
As Veronica exited the adjacent tower, she hastened her steps and called out Hendrey before he could
even step foot in the main building. “Hendrey?” she yelled.
Donned in a white suit, Hendrey had his hands in his pockets when he walked up the stairs before he
looked over to the source of sound.
From far away, he could see that Veronica was walking toward him. The moment he saw her, he felt his
heart tightened as he was rather surprised.
He retreated his steps and approached her while looking over her shoulder only to see no one else.
“Why are you here?”
Hendrey, who looked as gentle and polite as always, had a sense of elegance emanating from him,
making him seem like a charming prince.
Yet, Veronica was not in the mood to care about his looks as she asked, “You…”
Just as she was about to voice her thoughts, she saw that there was another stranger accompanying
Hendrey, so she suppressed her anger and changed her tone. “Was it you who devised a trap to
kidnap Matthew?”
At the thought of that, Veronica was cursing Matthew at how stupid he was.
He’s usually so intelligent, so why would he get caught in a trap like this?
“Why are you here?” Hendrey questioned back.
Although he dodged the question, it looked like he admitted to doing it.
Unable to hide the disappointment on her face, Veronica replied, “Why are you asking me that?
Shouldn’t you know that better than I do?”
“I’m sorry to say that I really don’t.”
Indeed, Hendrey did not know why Veronica would show up here; however, he kept his words
regarding Matthew’s situation.
As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw Xavier approaching them from her behind.
In an instant, his expression changed as he asked coldly, “Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll
be going ahead now.”
“Of course, I have. I want to know why you threatened me into coming here even after you’ve gotten
Matthew?”
Veronica was like a haughty woman, but in reality, she was just trying to obtain information.
The trip to Castron finally made her realize that her identity might not be as simple as she thought.
Therefore, she decided to use this chance to probe around a bit.
“You’ll have to direct that question toward him.” Hendrey tilted his jaw at Xavier, who was standing
behind Veronica.
Not even batting an eye at Xavier, she changed her question, “I don’t care about what happens to
Matthew. Just let me go.”
She then looked at Xavier and sighed. “Can I at least go into hiding with my parents after I’ve returned
to my hometown? If I can’t rescue Matthew, his men will surely take revenge on me.”
“You’ve just arrived. What’s the hurry?”
Smiling chillingly, Xavier replied, “Since your friend is here, why not let us head inside and have a nice
chat?”
To that, Veronica did not respond since she could not decipher Xavier’s intentions. Yet, it was Hendrey
that nodded instead. “Okay.”
As such, they went up the stairs toward the main hall of the castle.
Feeling a bit helpless, Veronica was forced to follow them.
On the way, she heard Hendrey, who was in front of her, ask Xavier, “Are you planning to kill Matthew?”
“I’ve never had the intention of letting him walk out alive,” Xavier replied.
Even though they spoke in a soft tone, Veronica still managed to make out what they said.
Actually, even without declaring it, she knew that he would not let Matthew go that easily.
