Chapter 253 The Mysterious Man

“Ahhh!” the man screamed in agony as his face flushed red and the veins on his forehead bulged. His expression was both hideous and terrifying.

“Are you still not going to tell me?”

“Okay, fine. I’ll explain. Umm…” The blood was dripping from his hand as it continued to flow. He was trembling in pain as if he had lost his strength. “Someone just approached me… The person offered me money to spike the wine glass with poison and deliver it to the lady next to you.”

“Who gave you the command? What kind of reward did you receive?” Xavier inquired.

“It was a phone call. A man called and asked for my bank account information before transferring 100,000 to me,” the man explained truthfully.

Xavier then squatted down and took the phone from the man’s pocket. When he realized that the phone needed to be unlocked using face recognition, he turned it around to face the man.

The phone had been unlocked.

Xavier opened the call history and asked the injured man, “Which one?”

“The top one.”

The man was terrified that if he didn’t tell the truth, he would enrage Xavier and lose his life immediately.

Xavier quickly memorized the phone number using his photographic memory and opened the text message interface. As expected, it contained a bank transfer message.

“If you don’t want to die, you should leave Bloomstead.” After issuing a warning, he stood up and turned to leave.

However, after only a few steps, he felt unusually hot and the heat was unbearable.

He felt something was wrong after drinking the wine earlier.

He believed that Veronica had become Matthew’s godsister and that even if someone was targeted on such an occasion today, no one would be so eager to attack Veronica.

As a result, he misjudged the strength of his opponent! The ability of his opponent to court death!

An enraged Xavier had just fought with the waiter, which depleted his physical strength but accelerated the poison’s efficacy in his body.

He endured the pain and left the staff room, where he ran into Tiffany, who had come to find him.

When she saw Xavier, she made a cold face and asked, “We agreed to collaborate, Young Master Xavier. You’re really close to Veronica now, aren’t you?”

“Please… Please take me upstairs.”

He could only feel the drug attacking his body and at a fast rate.

To keep outsiders from discovering what was happening, he wrapped his arms around her neck, walked forward with her strength, and urged, “Quick, take me upstairs.”

What kind of drug was this?

It actually made him weaker and caused his body temperature to increase, which landed him with excruciating pain.

“Do you feel okay?” Tiffany inquired as she observed Xavier’s odd behavior.

He ordered her, “Go upstairs!”

She resisted at first, but she reasoned that if she wanted to work with him in the future, she needed to gain his trust now.

Then, she accompanied him upstairs to the private lounge.

Tiffany led Xavier to the 32nd floor, where she found a private lounge, walked in with him, and shut the door.

“Young Master Xavier, you seem a little ill. I’ll call a doctor.”

She was concerned because she noticed his body was burning while she was holding him.

However, all those fears became reality.

Xavier, who was still weak and hot, was gradually gaining strength and his mind was a little foggy. He hugged the woman in front of her despite her confused expression. “Don’t go, Roni… Please don’t abandon me.”

Tiffany’s head buzzed as he said ‘Roni,’ and her heart swelled with rage. She was furious. “Young Master Xavier, you’ve made a mistake. I’m—”

“How could I have misidentified you, Roni? Even if you are reduced to ashes, I will recognize you.” He hugged Tiffany tightly and said, “Why… why did you cause me such anguish? Do you realize that there is no one on this planet who loves you more than I do? But you’re still flirting with the jerk, Matthew.”

“I…”

Tiffany’s mind was foggy and she felt a pang of sympathy for him since he was exactly like her.

But… They were different.

Tiffany had gotten to where she was today thanks entirely to Xavier’s sister, so she had to take revenge. “Let go of me, Xavier. I am not Roni—Ugh!”

She shoved him and turned to walk away, but who knew that he would lean over and kiss her lips the next moment?

It was a passionate kiss in which he pried her lips open and sucked them.

Her mind went blank as a result of the sudden action. He had already pressed her against the bed when she reacted and wanted to leave.

“Roni, don’t go… Be my woman, I… I won’t blame you. I won’t blame you for everything you’ve done.”

“Are you crazy, Xavier? My name is Tiffany—Rip…”

Before she could finish her sentence, he had destroyed her gown.

How could a frail woman be his opponent?

Although she struggled with all her might, she couldn’t get away from him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

That drug gradually made him tyrannical. He tried to stop the drug from spreading throughout his body, but it was too powerful.

His mind was already confused when he felt powerless. Finally, the drug’s efficacy exploded to its peak in a short period of time, causing him to go insane and believing that Tiffany was Veronica, whom he loved.

He adored Veronica, but it was an unrequited love. However, she had hurt him and Melissa the last time they were in the warehouse.

His attitude toward her gradually changed after that. Although he still loved her, his heart grew wild around her like a vine after rain.

As time passed by, the people at the dance eventually dispersed.

Veronica didn’t wait for Matthew to pick her up; instead, she took Yvonne’s car home.

She washed up and lay on the bed when she arrived home while breathing a long sigh of relief. “It’s more comfortable to lie in bed.”

In a super-luxurious villa built on a cliff, a mysterious man stood in front of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the cliff. He held a cigar in his hand, sipped it, and exhaled lightly.

He fluently spoke in the local language, “Your ticket has been prepared, Hendrey. You will depart after sunrise.”

“What’s my mission?” Hendrey inquired, slightly nodding.

“Get rid of a woman named Tiffany!”

“Murdering a woman is so simple. Why should I do it myself?” The mysterious man’s intent perplexed Hendrey.

“I assigned you to this mission because this woman named Tiffany resembles your first love, Veronica. As a result, you can simply use Veronica to approach Tiffany secretly and get rid of her.”

The mysterious man continued with a cigar in his mouth, “There are many professionals surrounding Tiffany, and it is difficult to kill her. Be cautious, but make sure to kill her! Bring Floch Larson and his wife to me.”
