Chapter 505

Xavier, Gone Mad

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?

A bodyguard soon came over with a cup of coffee and set it in front of Veronica. She nodded at the
person as a sign of thanks.

Picking the coffee up, she looked up only to match Xavier’s gaze, which made her eyebrows twitch.

I guess it’s true that a third person POV will always be more logical than the parties involved.

Even onlookers knew that it was highly abnormal for Matthew to end their relationship, and to think that
she really bought it.



“Beats me.”

Blowing on the piping hot coffee, she carefully drank it. Yet, she still put it down in a hurry and gasped,
“Oh my, it’s so hot!”

She then took a tissue and wiped her mouth before sighing and asked, “How about you use this
chance and ask him for me?”

Saying that, she looked down at her coffee with an uneasy expression.

Could the coffee be poisoned?

“Hmph.” Xavier suddenly smirked. Reaching out, he held Veronica’s cup and drank the coffee. “Hmm, I
wonder if this is poisoned or not?”

Uttering the words, he placed it back in front of Veronica with a slightly disappointed look. “You’ve
never trusted me.”

Hot coffee?

She only took a small sip before spitting it all on the tissue. Does she think that I’m blind?

Since her actions were seen through by Xavier, Veronica could not hide her embarrassment.

Pursing her lips, she silently breathed out heavily and became solemn. “It was because I trusted you
too much in the past.”

Undoubtedly, her words caused Xavier’s face to turn dark.

Yes, it was my fault.



It was my fault for harboring impure intentions toward her.

It was my fault that Matthew met her after.

“I’m a hyena. It’s only right for you to distrust me.”

All of a sudden, Xavier followed up with a laugh. “Have you ever watched trans films?”

He switched the subject at a heartbeat while smiling devilishly at Veronica.

Badum!

At that moment, Veronica tightened her fidgeting hands with her face paling before she forced another
smile on her face, although anyone could see through such a simple facade.

“W-W-What do you want?” she asked stutteringly.

“I heard from the grapevine that the reason he broke up with you was because he liked Manuel. Oh, I
meant Sasha, since she’s a woman now. If he liked men that much, I could make his wish come true.”

Even though Xavier’s words were directed at Veronica, his gaze was fixated on the room which was a
good thirty feet away. Presently, his mind was occupied with the memories of his and his sister’s
humiliation under Matthew’s hands.

In his eyes was intense hatred as a strong bloodlust enveloped Xavier. Even when Veronica, who was
looking at his side profile, could feel his killing intent, which sent chills down her spine.

Tightening her grip, she frowned.

Think… Think, Veronica! Soon enough, she managed to interrupt him before he could order his
subordinate. “Xavier, i-i-it isn’t too appropriate to do that. This kind of humiliation is far worse than
death. You could change the method of torture…”



Bang— Crash!

Yet, Veronica had not finished her sentence when Xavier stood up and flipped the table over, causing
the cups to fall and shatter.

The commotion had not ended with Xavier lifting his foot and kicking Veronica’s chair heavily.

Everything went down so fast in a split second and Veronica could not react to his sudden change in
attitude. With that, she hit her head on the floor, causing her to go blank.

Subconsciously, she clutched her head and took a deep breath.
