Chapter 512 Hendrey’s Plot

At that moment, the bodyguard who left earlier returned and brought a syringe in his hand. He walked

toward the unconscious Troy, who had his head lolled back, and jabbed him viciously.

No one queried about the injection, but each of them clearly knew what was going on. “For how long

have you known Hendrey?” Veronica finally asked the question she had always been curious about.

Antheena responded, “I’ve known him for nearly seven years now.”

Nearly seven years? That’s exactly how long Hendrey had left Bloomstead and came to Castron for, so

he’d got to know Antheena as soon as he arrived in Castron. Larry had also mentioned previously that

Hendrey was on good terms with the royalty and his family background remained a mystery. Evidently,

he was a fairly complex person.

If Veronica was not mistaken, Hendrey must be aware of the fact that Tiffany was alive.

“Miss Antheena, three minutes are up and you can start the interrogation process,” the bodyguard

reminded Antheena by the side as he threw cold water onto Troy.

Splash! The water went all over the place before the bright-red mix trickled onto the ground.

Antheena retreated with a look of disgust. “Hey. Why did President Kings and Veronica break up?”

“Uhm… I-I’m not too sure about that. I know that Sasha was hired by President Kings to stage a scene

with him so that Miss Murphy would jump to the wrong conclusion and break up with him.”

Forced into a dazed state, Troy spoke slowly and he was evidently not his logical self.

His answer did not come as a surprise to Veronica though as she had already guessed that bit.

The three of them shot meaningful looks at her and their intense stares made her feel uncomfortable.

She frowned and asked, “Are you saying that Matthew staged the breakup? Has he ever loved me

then?”

Veronica turned the tide and took control of the situation as she gave out an oblivious air to the others.

“I-I think he still does.” Troy’s words undeniably gave Veronica a glimmer of hope, but she was also

forced into a tough spot.

She could have pretended that she no longer had any connection with Matthew, but at this point, it was

pointless denying things.

“But then, President Kings has no plans to marry you because he said that… you were not a good

match for him,” Troy added.

Troy’s statement clearly stunned Veronica into oblivion. Can Troy’s words be trusted?

“Ha. What a f*cking player!” Veronica put on an angry act. “That b*stard should rot in hell! He wasted

my time and toyed with my feelings! How dare he say that I’m not a good match!” She angrily kicked

the heater by the side and upended it.

Meanwhile, Xavier and Hendrey exchanged looks with each other and they seemed to be

communicating silently with each other.

Soon after that, Xavier walked toward Troy and asked, “So, are you guys the only ones assigned to

rescue Matthew after he was abducted? How did you guys find out about this?”

“It was Miss Murphy… Miss Murphy revealed this information to us and provided the address to us, so I

came over first to scout the area. Tonight, Thomas will bring more men to conduct the rescue

operation.”

The injection was indeed quite effective and Troy revealed everything unreservedly.

“How many men have you assigned to spy on my parents secretly? If Matthew ends up dead, will

Thomas kill my parents?” Veronica put on an anxious expression as she moved forward to interrogate

Troy.

He was quite weak from the torment he suffered and he tilted his head while expressing weakly,

“Dead… Everyone will end up dead and go down with President Kings if he ends up dead.”

“That’s not fair! How can you do that? They were the ones who abducted Matthew, so what has that got

to do with me? Why do my family members have to suffer?”

“Because Xavier was the one who abducted President Kings, but Hendrey was the one who concocted

this plot. You used to be in a relationship with Hendrey, so you’re one of the suspects too. We would

rather get it wrong than to let the perpetrator get away. We won’t let any of you get away with this!” Troy

spoke stiltedly.

From Veronica’s brief exchange of words with Troy, she had obtained a definite answer and she

realized that he had not completely lost his mind under the influence of the injection; he was merely

putting on an act.

She was not surprised about this as she had found it strange for someone as intelligent and cunning as

Matthew to be abducted so easily. Perhaps he had walked into the trap purposely because he had

something else plotted. She could not confirm her deduction, but since Troy was merely putting on an

act, then she would definitely play along too.

She suddenly tilted her head and glared furiously at Hendrey. “Did you plot with Xavier and set this

trap?”

Hendrey maintained his elegant and composed smile. “That’s right.”

Veronica instantly strode forward and stood in front of Hendrey. Suddenly, she reached out to shove

him. “You’re a f*cking idiot! I have never crossed your path and yet you did this to force me to my

death?”

“You won’t end up in that state with me by your side.” Hendrey had an exceptionally calm look on his

face.

“And why is that?” Veronica glared at him furiously.

“I like you, but Matthew took you from me and yet didn’t appreciate you, so he deserves to die.

Coincidently, Xavier hates him to the core, so we decided to join forces to bring him down. I find that it’s

a win-win situation for me.” Hendrey’s words made perfect sense.

Veronica raged and growled, “You’re indeed a ruthless man! But what did I do wrong? My parents are

innocent, so why should they be implicated?!”

“No one would dare to lay a hand on you with me around.” Hendrey came to stand in front of her. “Do

you think that you could survive last night’s situation if there was someone here who intended to take

your life?”

“Gosh, Sebastian, look at them. They’re so annoying. How dare they display their affections for each

other in front of us.” Antheena pouted and walked over to Xavier to hug him as she initiated a kiss.

“Let’s leave, then. Ignore them.” Xavier dragged Antheena and headed out of the room.

However, she pointed at Troy. “What about him?”

“Keep him here. He could be useful to us,” Xavier mentioned before leaving with her.

Veronica was angered beyond words and her eyes were red-rimmed. “Hendrey, you’re such a b*stard!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

If anything happens to my parents, I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life!”

“They’re fine. I’ve sent some men to protect them.”

“For real?”

“Yup.”

“But then… Are they really going to kill off Matthew?”

“I’m not sure about that. That would be up to Xavier.” After Hendrey said that, he asked, “Does it pain

you to see him dead? Are you still in love with him?”

“Regardless of that, I just don’t wish to see anyone die before me.”

“I’ll show you to your room. You should get some sleep.”

Hendrey reached out to take Veronica’s hand in his, but she did not put up a struggle at all. On the

contrary, she meekly allowed him to hold her hands and leave the cellar.

She returned to the room and lay in bed to get some rest.

Meanwhile, Hendrey left the castle and drove off. Along the way, he made a call.

At the same time, the mysterious man located in the living room of a mansion by the cliff answered the

phone.

“Boss, I’ve seen Veronica and slowly gained her trust. What should I do next?” Hendrey briefly

recounted the situation.

“Get rid of Matthew who’s always in the way. Tiffany and Veronica will be useful to us, so we’ll let them

live. Make sure that you keep a very close eye on Veronica’s adopted parents.”

“Yes, boss.” Hendrey hung up the phone and parked the car by the road side as he wound down the

car window and silently puffed on his cigarette inside the car.

When he was about to leave Castron previously, he realized that Crayson behaved quite suspiciously

and was secretly investigating him.

As a result, Hendrey had purposely staged his own abduction and released the news to attract

Crayson’s attention and use that opportunity to find out the powerful forces Crayson secretly had in

possession.

However, he did not expect Crayson to hand over everything to Matthew for him to investigate.

As soon as Xavier found out that Matthew was in Castron, Xavier asked Hendrey to collaborate with

him to abduct Matthew. Seeing that this was a win-win situation for Hendrey, he agreed to it naturally.

As such, the subsequent events today arose.
