Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 409

However, Xavier's psychotic infatuation was terrifying.

Veronica's body trembled in anger and there was a wave of fury that filled her. She had to control herself to stop herself from strangling him.

She glared at the man she used to think was her best friend and she seemed to find him much more distant and terrifying than ever.

"Hah!" After quite some time, she revealed a smile.

She leaned back against her seat resignedly. "I can't stop what's coming because it is only a matter of time. Luckily, Melissa has already prewarned me about what is coming, so I'm not as fearful as I should be. If you really intend to die, then I don't mind dragging your sister along. That's fine with me."

Veronica was not one to be confined by the ways of society since she was a child, so even if the video was released, she was not going to seek death because of that.

As soon as Xavier heard that, he tilted his head and scrutinized her with a solemn expression. They looked each other squarely in the eyes for a few seconds before he finally voiced out, "You're my Roni, so I won't stand by the side and watch you perish."

With his strong feelings for her, he reached out to stroke her cheek, but before he could even touch her face, she slapped his hand aside. "Don't touch me."

The sharp look she shot at him was the look she gave an enemy.

"Get your filthy hand away from me!" Veronica yelled out the last sentence and it was quite hurtful as he felt a sharp pang in his heart.

At that point, his expression tensed, and his hand remained frozen by the side of her face. His facial muscles twitched significantly. "Filthy hand? Hah! That's such a great description! You've finally admitted that you loathe me."

Veronica was significantly speechless by his words.

She leaned back in her seat and refused to say anything. After all, she felt that whatever she said was basically a waste of breath and she could not do anything about someone as intent on causing trouble as Xavier.

The time ticked by gradually and Veronica was still considering how to escape. She was inside the car with the doors locked, so she could not get out at all. This is getting frustrating!

As she noticed that they were about to enter the highway, she instantly spoke up, "I need to use the bathroom."

"Hold it," Xavier replied mercilessly.

Her expression instantly turned ugly and she glared at him while clenching her fist.

Meanwhile, they arrived at the toll station and the driver stopped the car to pay the fee.

At that point, Veronica realized that this was her only chance, so she formed a fist with her right hand and gathered up all of her strength. Suddenly, she smashed the glass with her fist.

Crash!

As soon as the sound rang out, the glass window was shattered by Veronica's punch, "Help. Save me... Save... Umph... Ah..."

She yelled out in the direction of the staff manning the toll booth, but Xavier immediately smothered her lips with his hand. As soon as the driver noticed the unfolding scene, he instantly accelerated and rammed the barricade to enter the highway.

It hurts... Veronica had used up her might to smash the glass and this was her final attempt to escape, so she had to do everything that she could. However, it was because of this very cause that it hurt so badly; blood trickled down her right hand and the pain from it nearly crippled her.

She reckoned that she must have broken some bones in her finger.

Out of desperation, she had no other choice but this; had she not grasped this final chance, then there would be no way she could get the word out to Matthew. After alerting the staff at the toll booth, the police would be alerted too, so Matthew would definitely be notified.

Xavier smothered Veronica’s lips and pressed her against his lap as their car drove away from the toll station.
