Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 505

Standing beside Veronica, Xavier froze upon hearing her words. With furrowed eyebrows, memories started to flood into his mind.

The scenes from half a year ago were just like yesterday as it played out in his mind.

Xavier could never forget how Melissa was humiliated by Matthew. He could never accept how after he and Melissa were sent to Lispon, they became prisoners and were forced to provide services to 'guests' everyday.

Melissa, who was born with a golden spoon, was the precious daughter of the family and she had lived her life being loved by all around her. In contrast, Melissa did not have any right of way in Lispon as if she was treated like a pig at the slaughterhouse.

Forced to 'service' customers, she did try to escape once, but they broke her leg after they caught her.

Even under the condition that her wounds had yet to recover, she still had to receive untold humiliation by them.

At last, she could not take it anymore and attempted to take the easy way out.

Due to the incident, she thoroughly enraged those people; they cuffed her limbs and only released her when she needed the toilet or at meal times.

Not long after enduring such hellish days, Melissa totally lost her mind.

Becoming insane, she got the freedom she wanted as she was eventually set free.

After that, Xavier managed to escape from that hellhole and came to know that Melissa was kidnapped before being toyed to death.

He tried every way to recover her body. In the end, he only found a skeleton.

"Mind your own business."

He took out a cigarette and lit it before taking a long drag. The two fingers that were holding the cigarette were trembling subtly. It was a memory that he never wanted to relive ever again.

Even if he did burn that purgatory to the ground and watch with his own eyes how the people who abused him struggled in vain and died in the inferno, it still could not wipe the hatred away from his mind.

Turning around, he sat down on the chair at the side.

A bodyguard immediately walked up and poured a cup of coffee for him.

Xavier sipped on his coffee then asked, "What do you want to drink?"

Veronica, who had been gazing at him, snapped back to reality. "I'll have... tea. Nevermind, I don't think you guys have that. I'll have a cup of cafe latte." She walked up to Xavier and sat beside him.

As if they ignored the huge interrogation room in front of them, it looked more like an underground castle that was a good dating spot.

Xavier took another sip before gently setting down the porcelain cup and waved at the person beside him. The person nodded before opening the door and exiting.

It was then Veronica found out that the door was password encrypted.

The security here sure is tight.

Her instincts told her that with how Xavier was treating Matthew, he did not plan on ever letting him see another light of day.

What do I do if he really wants to kill

Matthew?

"Are you thinking about how to save him?" Xavier asked her lazily.

Veronica never thought that he would be this direct.

Smiling helplessly, she answered, "I am. I was thinking, with how tight your security is and how everyone of your subordinates is a fighter, how am I supposed to escape if you wanted to kill me after ending him?"

There was some hint of truth mixed in with lies. At that moment, both knew each other's exact thoughts.

"Everybody knew how much you loved each other. So, why did you break up?"

Xavier had known Matthew for so many years. He was a man who had never touched another woman and had always kept his distance with them up until he met Veronica.

For countless times, Xavier had witnessed how Matthew could risk his life just to save Veronica.

With such strong determination, he must love her to his core. Otherwise, why would anyone sacrifice himself like that?
