Her Billionaire Husband

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.
