Chapter 841 Matthew Survived
“Veronica is in the bedroom,” Xavier replied. Skyler immediately opened the door and stepped inside
the bedroom. It wasn’t until he saw Veronica lying comfortably in bed with a blanket on her that he
finally felt relieved. “Phew! Are you alright, Roni?”
“Skyler, Matthew… I mean, Iron Pillar is in danger. You must find him at once!” Veronica nervously said
the moment they saw each other. “Look at yourself. You should worry more about yourself instead of
him.” Skyler walked closer to the bed and sat down, lifting a quarter of the blanket before running a
quick diagnosis on Veronica.
A few moments later, he detected nothing wrong with her just when he spotted the empty spoon on the
table with a little bit of residual medicine. It was then that he heaved a sigh of relief once again. “You’ll

“Forget about me. Find Iron Pillar.” As Veronica was feeling better, she grabbed Skyler by his sleeve
and implored him to search for Matthew.
On the other hand, Xavier was merely standing by the door with both of his hands in his pocket, leaning
on the door frame while silently watching the duo. At that moment, they were interrupted by a familiar
voice from the living room. “Roni?!”
It turned out that Xavier only left the door ajar right after he let Skyler in. Thus, that allowed Matthew,
whose arrival was long overdue, to enter the room before he called out to Veronica. As he was too
worried about her, he unknowingly dropped his pretense and addressed her the way he had always
been used to.
Upon glimpsing Xavier, he walked past him and approached the bed, whereupon he grabbed Skyler by
his shirt and shoved him aside. Then, he sat in the chair and held Veronica’s hand tightly, showing her
his concern. “Are you alright, girl? I’m sorry that I’m late.” With his mind full of Veronica, Matthew was
so caught up in her status that he neglected the other two men who were also in the bedroom.
When Xavier heard how Matthew called Veronica, he straightened his body, stiffening from head to toe.
He then recalled looking back at the living room when he saw ‘Iron Pillar’ approaching them. However,
when ‘Iron Pillar’ walked past him and shoved Skyler aside before holding Veronica’s hand, Xavier’s
eyes were filled with indifference. He is… Matthew? Matthew Kings?! The man clenched his fists
tightly, radiating an intimidating aura. At the same time, he couldn’t help but fix his gaze on Matthew
with rage, just as the back of his hands were covered in veins. However, when Xavier shifted his eyes
to Veronica, he realized the lady was also looking at him instantly.
As their eyes met, Veronica apologized guiltily. “I’m sorry, Xavier.” I’m really sorry that—I lied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXavier had put his vengeance behind him ever since Matthew faked his death, believing that Matthew
was truly dead. At the same time, he felt sorry for Veronica’s fate and even tried to protect her by
marrying Antheena. Nonetheless, he didn’t expect everything he saw and heard to be just a show
Veronica and Matthew put on to fool everyone else.
So, even the funeral was fake?! She lied to everybody! She lied to me!
At the thought of that, Xavier was heartbroken and disappointed, ridiculing himself for being a fool that
was toyed with. While his gentle gaze turned into a pair of soulless eyes, Veronica, who noticed his
depression and negative emotions, was overwhelmed by a stab of pain.
Soon, Veronica removed her blanket and sat up straight when she felt much better. “I’m sorry. I didn’t
mean to keep you in the dark.” In fact, she was also in great pain, finding herself stuck between
Matthew and Xavier. After all, while Matthew was the man she loved, Xavier was the one who had
rescued her again and again.
