Chapter 342


    Chapter 342 The Despicable and Shameless Xavier


    Yvonne was being toyed around in the palm of Conrad’s hand, but she didn’t even know it. When


    should Veronica tell her?


    “Yvonne, let’s eat lunch together.” Veronica decided to tell Yvonne the truth, hoping that she would


    believe her. If she didn’t, there was no helping it either.


    “Sure, I have something to tell you too. Let’s go to Phil’s Restaurant. I’ll book a private room there.”


    “All right.”


    After hanging up, Veronica contacted the private investigator again to ask for information on Xavier.


    She knew very well that Matthew started retaliating against him because he was despicable and


    shameless, so she had no reason to stop him, and she didn’t want to either. In fact, after knowing that


    Matthew had made his move, she felt a trace of pleasure and emotion in her heart as though she was


    being cared for.


    That noon, at Phil’s Restaurant, Veronica waited in the private room they had reserved before Yvonne


    quickly arrived. However, there were two others following behind her—Xavier and Conrad!


    Upon seeing their arrival, she frowned subconsciously before she rxed and greeted them with a


    hypocritical smile on her face. “You’re here? Yvonne, why did you bring them over without saying


    anything? I only ordered enough for the two of us.”


    This woman… Is she an idiot?


    “Roni, are you saying that I’m not wee?” Xavier stood by the door with one hand behind his back


    and an evil smile on his lips.


    “Of course not. I just wanted to order the food with all of you together,” Veronica replied.


    Yvonne smiled mysteriously and pulled Conrad to stand by the side. Then, Xavier walked inside and


    headed straight for Veronica before he suddenly ‘conjured’ a bouquet of flowers from behind his back.


    Getting down on one knee as he held a ring box in one hand, he asked, “Roni, will you be my


    girlfriend?”


    Speechless, Veronica couldn’t help but jolt in surprise as her smile slipped off her face. She lifted her


    head and looked at Yvonne and Conrad by the side. The two of them looked at each other and smiled,


    then shifted their gazes back to Veronica.


    Yvonne smiled cheekily and said, “Veronica, you have to agree.”


    “Veronica, Xavier is a fine man.” Saying that, Conrad grabbed Yvonne’s hand. “Let’s go first and give


    them some space.”


    “But I want to watch.”


    “Watch what? Be obedient.” Conrad tugged on Yvonne’s hand and dragged her out.


    Yvonne stumbled out with him, not forgetting to make an encouraging gesture to Veronica with a


    cheerful smile, as though she wished that Veronica could quickly agree to be with Xavier. Soon, the


    door closed.


    Just then, Xavier spoke again. “Roni, I’ve liked you ever since I met you, and my feelings for you have


    never changed. Can you agree to be my woman? I’ll definitely protect you and treat you well.”


    Hearing his confession, the only thing that came to Veronica’s mind were scenes from the photos. She


    couldn’t help but sp her hands tightly together, her patience crumbling.


    “You like me?” Veronica’s red lips curled into a sarcastic smile as she sat down and picked up the ss


    of red wine on the table to take a sip. “Xavier, I used to trust you a lot. But, I want to ask you something.


    Don’t you hate me for personally hurting you and Melissa when I was in the warehousest time?”


    cing her hand that was holding the ss of red wine on the table, she tilted her head and looked at


    the man who was kneeling on one knee beside her with a hint of contempt in her eyes.


    Hearing that, Xavier smiled. That smile was full of thousands of emotions such as indifference, ridicule,


    and contempt gathered together, and she couldn’t understand what he was thinking.


    Then, he stood up and ced the flowers and ring on the table before taking a seat directly opposite


    her. He picked up the jug of in water and poured himself a ss before he took a sip and said, “Hate


    you? How could I not? My sister still can’t walk like a normal person, and you’re aware that she’s the


    one I love the most in the entire Crawford Family.”


    His frankness and honesty bewildered her as she understood something. If Xavier’s phone was really


    repaired, then it could only mean that he was able to voice his hatred because he had found out that


    the photos in his phone had been deleted. If he knew that the photos were erased, Xavier would


    inevitably think that his cell phone did not fall into the toilet, but was deliberately thrown into the water


    by her.


    At the same time, this revealed another piece of information. It was very likely that he had already


    guessed that she and Matthew had joined forces, and there was also a possibility that he and Conrad


    had already guessed that the person in Matthew’s photo was her.


    Veronica’s eyelids drooped slightly as she picked up the ss of wine on the table and took another


    sip. “So, you were the mastermind behind Jackson’s wedding, and you worked together with Conrad to


    drug me at the Kings Family’s banquet that night, right?”


    Since things hade to this, there was no need to hide anymore. As soon as she spoke, Xavier only


    smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows as his delicate fingers wrapped around the ss cup and


    brought the ss of water to his lips.


    A momentter, he nodded and admitted boldly, “Roni, did you know? Sometimes, smart women are


    not adorable at all.”


    “From your words, if I really were adorable, would you like me?” Veronica felt ironic.


    “Not necessarily.” Xavier propped his elbows on the table and supported his chin as he looked directly


    at her and said, “Of course it’s true that I like you. Otherwise, why would I want to propose to you?”


    For the first time, Veronica felt as though someone was doing her a favor by liking her, and it disgusted


    her.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “What did you do to me in the hotel that night?” She didn’t bother answering, but asked a question of


    her own instead. Her exquisite face with porcin-like skin showed hints of chilliness as she awaited


    his answer in silence.


    “If you like someone, what else will you do? Do the business, of course!” He sneered, “You know, I had


    no choice. This is the magic of love. Do you know that every time I look at Tiffany when she’s under


    me, I think of her as you? Tsk tsk… You two sisters really do look alike. Still, the debauched look


    Tiffany gives me when she’s in bed really makes me burn up.”


    Saying that, Xavier shrugged. “But she isn’t you. After I’m done, she’ll still leave me with a sense of


    emptiness and dissatisfaction. So, Roni, will you be my woman? I will definitely spoil you and love you.


    No matter what you want, I will…”


    Ssh! Before he could finish speaking, Veronica stood up abruptly and sshed the freshly poured


    ss of red wine on his face before she mmed the ss on the table heavily.


    “Xavier Crawford, you are so shameless!” Veronica was furious, and her hand holding the ss


    trembled with anger. After cursing angrily, she suddenly felt a little dizzy while standing. Her body


    wobbled as her hands subconsciously held onto the table, while the ss on the table fell to the ground


    and shattered into pieces.


    Veronica held her forehead with her other hand and looked at the calm andposed man opposite


    her. “Xavier, what… did you do to me?”
