Chapter 652 Found Him
Guess that was the wrong thing to ask. “Let’s never meet again. Antheena is sweet to you. Treasure
her,” Veronica said solemnly.
“That depends on what happens,” Xavier replied nonchalantly and drank his wine in silence.
She eventually started feeling drowsy, and then she felt someone carrying her. Her first instinct was to
defend herself, but Xavier said, “Don’t move.” He then took her to the bed and tucked her in. “Sleep. I
have to go now.”
He knew how skilled she was, but still, she was so on guard against him, even when she was almost
asleep. That sight pained him greatly. Like he had been stabbed in the heart.
Veronica’s eyelids weighed a ton earlier, but now they felt as light as feathers. She lay on the bed and

He was surprised that she said goodbye without even hesitating. He let out a nasal laugh and exited
the room. He was disappointed, but still, he closed the door gently.
She never wondered how he got into her room—nobody could stop him if he wanted to get in anyway,
so she decided not to think about it. And she fell asleep soon after that. Veronica looked for Ruka after
she woke up the next day, but the girl was not in her room. She called her and found out Ruka went to
see Hendrey again.
Since she had nothing to do, Veronica met up with Sean and took a stroll around the agency in Castron
as they talked about the business’ future.
She got a cab back to the hotel when the sun was starting to set, but then her phone started ringing.
She took it out. Thomas?
“Tho—”
“I found him, Mrs. Kings! I found Young Master Matthew!” Thomas gushed the moment she picked up
the call. His voice was raspy from the excitement coursing through his veins at that moment.
Her eyes instantly filled with delight when she heard that news, and they started to shine. She sat up
straighter, barely able to contain her joy. “You found Matt?”
“Yes. I just got the news. Found him in a Riversouth town. When are you coming back, Mrs. Kings?”
Thomas was buzzing with joy. He would love to see Matthew right away.
“Keep this a secret. I’m coming back right now.” She hung up and logged into an app to buy a flight
ticket. There was a flight scheduled in an hour and forty-five minutes from that moment. She booked it
and told the driver, “Take me to the airport, please.”
“Of course, lady.” The driver turned around at the crossroads and headed toward the airport.

she wanted to do at the moment was get back to Destor.
She looked outside the window. She wasn’t in Destor, but this place’s sunset was almost picturesque.
She felt warm and fuzzy for some reason. Delight, excitement, and a hint of fear welled up within her.
Matthew was missing for three months, and now she finally got some news about him. She felt
trepidation creeping up on her.
“Can you go faster, please?”
“That’ll be against the rules, lady.” The driver glared at her through the rear-view mirror. He looked
displeased. This wasn’t his first time taking an unreasonable passenger.
“I’m in a hurry, and I can’t afford to be late. Please, I’m counting on you.” She unzipped her bag and
unloaded a stack of cash, and then she leaned forward and put the money on the passenger seat.
“Please.”
