Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507 Establishing Contact with Thomas

The mysterious figure only walked stealthily toward her and they did not seem to be sneaking around, judging from the way they walked; instead, it looked as if they were about to prey.

Without waiting for Veronica to speak, the person sat down by the bed and said, “I know you’re not asleep.” She thought that the person’s silhouette seemed a bit familiar. As expected, it was Xavier.

Even though she did not respond, her body tensed up as she was wary of him. “Does it still hurt?” he asked gently and his mood was clearly different from the bloodlust tone he had in the underground cell earlier.

Still, it was a weird thing to ask, seeing that it would be impossible for her injuries to not hurt. Since Xavier knew martial arts, he kicked her with all his power while treating her as if she was his mortal enemy and nearly beating her to her demise.

Although a few hours had already passed, Veronica still felt agony all over her body. “I’m sorry,” he apologized sincerely. “I brought some ointment for you. Apply it.” He set the medicine on the table and fell into silence.

With conflicting emotions, Veronica did not know how to face him. She then asked after a long hesitation, “Then, was it not your intention to kidnap Matthew?”

She recalled that in the cell, Xavier did mention that it was not him who threatened her into coming here. This also means that someone else is behind all this.

“If I say no, would you believe me?” Xavier asked after a brief moment of silence. Understanding what he meant, Veronica asked, “Why did they kidnap Matthew and made me come here?”

“I don’t know.” “Will I die?”

“Maybe you won’t.” Xavier was not sure either, so he could not give her a concrete answer. “Is your backer the head of the triads?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know or you don’t want to tell me?”

“I don’t know,” he replied truthfully as he really had zero clue.

From Xavier’s words, I don’t think he’ll kill Matthew today.

I still have a chance.

Two hours later, it was 3.30AM.

Locking her door from inside, Veronica went to the balcony and made sure that there was nobody patrolling nearby before she went under the camera’s blind spots and jumped down to the ground.

After passing by a road, she hid herself in the nearby bushes before carefully heading to the building in the north.

After five minutes, she successfully infiltrated to the first floor of the building and entered the study.

Before she came to the castle, Thomas had already briefed her on the layout of the place, so she found this study purely using her memory.

Switching on one of the computers in the study, Veronica quickly hacked the security system.

Just as what Xavier described, the airtight security and solid defense system required Veronica to use half an hour to hack into the mainframe.

By then, she was already sweating all over.

She first used the computer to contact Thomas in secret, sending Matthew’s exact location to him before shutting down the security system of the castle and leaving the room. Finally, she headed back to her bedroom.

The most fortunate thing was that nobody found out about her little outing.

Now, all she had to do was lie on her bed and patiently wait for Thomas’ rescue.

Even though she wanted to help, she knew that the odds were against her. Moreover, she could not ascertain the reason as to why Matthew broke up with her and she could only assume that he was involved in a bigger plan somehow.

If I just recklessly charged in, I might ruin his plans.

So, might as well I leak the news to Thomas. I believe that he will know what to do next.

The time seemed to pass by ever so slowly.

Veronica watched the sky turn from sundown to sunrise. Alas, she did not receive any message from Thomas.

At 6.30AM, she decided to get out of bed and head downstairs after which she saw Xavier in the living room.

“Have you washed up?” He was sitting on the couch and reading the newspaper.

Veronica nodded in response.

“Good. Come and have breakfast, then.” Xavier put the newspaper down and led her to the dining table.

Placed before her was an incredible spread as Xavier gave her a cup of milk. “Drink it. After this, I’m going to bring you to meet a friend.”
