    Chapter 253 The Mysterious Man


    “Ahhh!” the man screamed in agony as his face flushed red and the veins on his forehead bulged. His


    expression was both hideous and terrifying.


    “Are you still not going to tell me?”


    “Okay, fine. I’ll exin. Umm…” The blood was dripping from his hand as it continued to flow. He was


    trembling in pain as if he had lost his strength. “Someone just approached me… The person offered me


    money to spike the wine ss with poison and deliver it to thedy next to you.”


    “Who gave you themand? What kind of reward did you receive?” Xavier inquired.


    “It was a phone call. A man called and asked for my bank ount information before transferring


    100,000 to me,” the man exined truthfully.


    Xavier then squatted down and took the phone from the man’s pocket. When he realized that the


    phone needed to be unlocked using face recognition, he turned it around to face the man.


    The phone had been unlocked.


    Xavier opened the call history and asked the injured man, “Which one?”


    “The top one.”


    The man was terrified that if he didn’t tell the truth, he would enrage Xavier and lose his life


    immediately.


    Xavier quickly memorized the phone number using his photographic memory and opened the text


    message interface. As expected, it contained a bank transfer message.


    “If you don’t want to die, you should leave Bloomstead.” After issuing a warning, he stood up and


    turned to leave.


    However, after only a few steps, he felt unusually hot and the heat was unbearable.


    He felt something was wrong after drinking the wine earlier.


    He believed that Veronica had be Matthew’s godsister and that even if someone was targeted on


    such an asion today, no one would be so eager to attack Veronica.


    As a result, he misjudged the strength of his opponent! The ability of his opponent to court death!


    An enraged Xavier had just fought with the waiter, which depleted his physical strength but elerated


    the poison’s efficacy in his body.


    He endured the pain and left the staff room, where he ran into Tiffany, who hade to find him.


    When she saw Xavier, she made a cold face and asked, “We agreed to coborate, Young Master


    Xavier. You’re really close to Veronica now, aren’t you?”


    “Please… Please take me upstairs.”


    He could only feel the drug attacking his body and at a fast rate.


    To keep outsiders from discovering what was happening, he wrapped his arms around her neck,


    walked forward with her strength, and urged, “Quick, take me upstairs.”


    What kind of drug was this?


    It actually made him weaker and caused his body temperature to increase, whichnded him with


    excruciating pain.


    “Do you feel okay?” Tiffany inquired as she observed Xavier’s odd behavior.


    He ordered her, “Go upstairs!”


    She resisted at first, but she reasoned that if she wanted to work with him in the future, she needed to


    gain his trust now.


    Then, she apanied him upstairs to the private lounge.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Tiffany led Xavier to the 32nd floor, where she found a private lounge, walked in with him, and shut the


    door.


    “Young Master Xavier, you seem a little ill. I’ll call a doctor.”


    She was concerned because she noticed his body was burning while she was holding him.


    However, all those fears became reality.


    Xavier, who was still weak and hot, was gradually gaining strength and his mind was a little foggy. He


    hugged the woman in front of her despite her confused expression. “Don’t go, Roni… Please don’t


    abandon me.”


    Tiffany’s head buzzed as he said ‘Roni,’ and her heart swelled with rage. She was furious. “Young


    Master Xavier, you’ve made a mistake. I’m—”


    “How could I have misidentified you, Roni? Even if you are reduced to ashes, I will recognize you.” He


    hugged Tiffany tightly and said, “Why… why did you cause me such anguish? Do you realize that there


    is no one on this who loves you more than I do? But you’re still flirting with the jerk, Matthew.”


    “I…”


    Tiffany’s mind was foggy and she felt a pang of sympathy for him since he was exactly like her.


    But… They were different.


    Tiffany had gotten to where she was today thanks entirely to Xavier’s sister, so she had to take


    revenge. “Let go of me, Xavier. I am not Roni—Ugh!”


    She shoved him and turned to walk away, but who knew that he would lean over and kiss her lips the


    next moment?


    It was a passionate kiss in which he pried her lips open and sucked them.


    Her mind went nk as a result of the sudden action. He had already pressed her against the bed


    when she reacted and wanted to leave.


    “Roni, don’t go… Be my woman, I… I won’t me you. I won’t me you for everything you’ve done.”


    “Are you crazy, Xavier? My name is Tiffany—Rip…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, he had destroyed her gown.


    How could a frail woman be his opponent?


    Although she struggled with all her might, she couldn’t get away from him.


    That drug gradually made him tyrannical. He tried to stop the drug from spreading throughout his body,


    but it was too powerful.


    His mind was already confused when he felt powerless. Finally, the drug’s efficacy exploded to its peak


    in a short period of time, causing him to go insane and believing that Tiffany was Veronica, whom he


    loved.


    He adored Veronica, but it was an unrequited love. However, she had hurt him and Melissa thest


    time they were in the warehouse.


    His attitude toward her gradually changed after that. Although he still loved her, his heart grew wild


    around her like a vine after rain.


    As time passed by, the people at the dance eventually dispersed.


    Veronica didn’t wait for Matthew to pick her up; instead, she took Yvonne’s car home.


    She washed up andy on the bed when she arrived home while breathing a long sigh of relief. “It’s


    morefortable to lie in bed.”


    …


    Castron.


    In a super-luxurious vi built on a cliff, a mysterious man stood in front of floor-to-ceiling windows


    overlooking the cliff. He held a cigar in his hand, sipped it, and exhaled lightly.


    He fluently spoke in the localnguage, “Your ticket has been prepared, Hendrey. You will depart after


    sunrise.”


    “What’s my mission?” Hendrey inquired, slightly nodding.


    “Get rid of a woman named Tiffany!”


    “Murdering a woman is so simple. Why should I do it myself?” The mysterious man’s intent perplexed


    Hendrey.


    “I assigned you to this mission because this woman named Tiffany resembles your first love, Veronica.


    As a result, you can simply use Veronica to approach Tiffany secretly and get rid of her.”


    The mysterious man continued with a cigar in his mouth, “There are many professionals surrounding


    Tiffany, and it is difficult to kill her. Be cautious, but make sure to kill her! Bring Floch Larson and his


    wife to me.”
