Chapter 146

Although Xavier was very capable, he was Hendric‘s son and part of Crawford‘s family tree after all.

Despite his high expectations toward Xavier, Hendric actually treated him extremely well.

Veronica genuinely thought that there was no material grudge between Xavier and Hendric, so it would be best if there was a way to ease the tension in the relationship between the father and son.

However, Xavier shook his head. “I’m doing fine on my own, so why should I go back?”

“To be honest, I think Hendric treats you quite well. You…”

Veronica wanted to persuade Xavier, but before she could finish her sentence, Xavier shot a fierce glare at her which made her clam up immediately.

That glare, which was as sharp as a sword, was filled with rage and resentment.

Ever since she knew Xavier, Veronica had rarely heard him mention Hendric.

She thought the two were merely not on good terms but she did not expect Xavier to actually be this resistful and hateful toward Hendric.

“Don‘t mention his name in front of me.”

“…”

Veronica bit her tongue and continued after remaining silent for a few seconds, “Blood is thicker than water. Do you really plan to continue being on bad terms with your father?”

Frowning, Xavier tightened his grip on the cup as his cold gaze fell on Veronica again. “He doesn‘t deserve it.”

Xavier had clearly expressed his attitude through the four straightforward words he just spat.

“Come on, bottoms up! Let‘s drink the night away!”

Veronica knew the discord between Xavier and Hendric was rather deep, and it was not an issue that could be solved in a short time, so she decided to stop discussing the topic.
