Chapter 1240 Xavier Came to Her Rescue

He undid his suit jacket while speaking.

Watching him remove his clothes, Veronica wanted to scream for help but couldn't make a sound.

Despair enveloped her, making even the air suffocating.

A loud bang echoed as Zac took off his suit jacket and T-shirt.

The room door was kicked open from the outside.

"Matt..."

Veronica called out, her voice was so faint that Zac wouldn't hear.

Both of them turned toward the door, witnessing Xavier's entry. He wore a black T-shirt and loose camouflage pants, emanating a fierce aura as he walked into the bedroom.

Zac couldn't help but be startled. "How did you—"

A loud thud resonated.

Before he could finish his sentence, Xavier strode forward, his right hand clenched into a fist that landed solidly on Zac's face. "You're asking for it!"

Zac stumbled backward, colliding with the tripod supporting the camera, and falling to the ground in a disheveled manner.

When Xavier saw the camera, his face turned extremely cold, his fists clenched, and his face reddened with anger. Veins popped on his forehead.

A strong killing intent lingered around Xavier.

Zac had never seen Xavier acting like this. His face showed a hint of panic. "What do you want? Xavier Crawford, you better know your place. Don't forget that even your father-in-law bows before me. You—" He undid his suit jocket while speoking.

Xavier didn't give Zac a chance to finish his words. He walked up and stood in front of him to deliver a powerful kick to his head.

That kick was full of force, causing Zac's nose to bleed and his vision to go blurry. He couldn't react for a while.

He felt as if he were being pummeled all over, the blows accompanied by Xavier's furious curses.

His mind was hazy, and he couldn't comprehend what Xavier was saying.

How did he get here? Where is Matthew?

Numerous questions rushed through her mind, but she was unable to voice them.

After Xavier finished dealing with Zac, he turned around and walked to the side of the bed. Seeing Veronica was still dressed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't be afraid. I'll take you back."

In the span of a second, he had been fierce and menacing, akin to a demon from hell, but he was full of tenderness now. Even his eyes were full of affection.

Lifting Veronica from the bed, he turned and walked out of the room.

As he turned, Veronica cast a sidelong glance at Zac, finding him unconscious. She couldn't help but feel worried for Xavier.

"I know you want to ask why I appeared here."

Xavier explained as he walked. "I happened to be strolling on the street and saw you with Iron Pillar. I followed to check it out and witnessed Iron Pillar being lured to the back door, cornered by seven or eight people. I guessed you were in danger, so I came after you."

"Thank you," Veronica sincerely thanked him.

However, she had no idea what kind of drug Zac had used in the room, as she couldn't make a sound now.

Fortunately, Xavier's presence in the room was brief, and it took place in the bedroom, so it didn't

impact much.

"Don't talk, just rest for a bit. You'll be safe with me."

He carried Veronica out of the Elysium Hotel.

However, within less than thirty seconds of their departure, Skyler swiftly stormed into the Elysium Hotel, heading straight to room 507 upstairs.

Xavier took Veronica to a nearby hotel, booked a room, took her upstairs to rest, and consulted a doctor.

He prepared a glass of medicine, supporting Veronica, who was lying on the bed. "Here, take this medicine."
