Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 509 The Malevolent Antheena

Veronica could not understand why Xavier took her to the attic despite knowing that Hendrey was visiting. She figured that Xavier must have discovered something hence descided to bring her there.

Perhaps, he was trying to remind her about the tight security in the castle and that she should quell her preposterous thoughts.Don’t tell me he had found out about what happened last night?

She was uncertain. They entered the living room, only to see that Antheena was already there. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned around and cast her gaze onto them. The moment she caught sight of Hendrey, a smile appeared on her once cold yet gorgeous face as she scurried to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Hendrey, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you.”

She then gave him a peck on the cheek. Given that she was Xavier’s girlfriend, her intimate gesture toward Hendrey was nothing more than a form of greeting etiquette practiced in Castron. Still, it was obvious that she and Hendrey were close.
