"You don't want to see any of us get hurt? Or do you just not want to see him get hurt?" Xavier asked Veronica in an indifferent tone.
"He is my husband and the father of my two children, and you are my friend." She shook her head. "If I knew things would turn out this way, I wouldn't have befriended you." If it wasn't for her, everything after that wouldn't have happened.
"You've made your choice to help Melissa get her revenge no matter what. I won't disagree with that, but you should get this one point straight. Her death is not directly associated with Matt. If you really want to talk about the cause, Melissa brought this on herself." Then, she sighed deeply before saying, "Take care."
After that, she turned around resignedly and didn't turn around anymore.
Meanwhile, Xavier stood at the same spot and looked at Veronica from the back while clenching his fists in his pockets. Instantly, a painful look took over his good-looking face.
If I knew things would turn out this way, I wouldn't have befriended you.
He knew that she was in a difficult position between the two of them, but he needed to get his revenge for Melissa's death. "If you need a person to pay for it when he's dead." His expression turned upset. "I will give myself to you."
Having a broken family, being homeless, and having the love of his life marry his enemy, he was experiencing all kinds of tragedies in this world. Yet, the only thing that was keeping him alive was the idea of eliminating Matthew.
When Matthew 'died', he thought that he had gotten rid of his pain, so he started to worry about Veronica, who was coming to the hidden clan. In the end, he followed her, but he didn't know that Matthew's death was just a part of their plan.
Xavier turned around to return to his room and walked to the window. Then, he watched as she left the hotel on her ride. The moment she left, he felt as though a part of his body was taken from him. That pain spread all over his body, and even breathing became a difficult task.
After Veronica left in her car, she still couldn't reach Matthew, so she could only return to the Mountainside Gardens.
