Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 47

Veronica suddenly woke up out of sheer will.

Opening her eyes in a state of semi-consciousness, she discovered herself being dragged to a Toyota Corolla that was parked in the underground carpark.

“Hahaha, boss. After this deal is done, we’ll be living a good life from then on.”

“The Larsons have already informed us that if we silently get rid of her, there’ll be one million waiting for us as our payment.”

“Shut up and just do as you’re told. Work more, talk less.”

The two men merely allowed her arms to hang from their shoulders and it was in this posture that they carried her forward. This way, they could just tell people that she was drunk. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

What shocked Veronica the most was that she found the two men’s voices to be extremely familiar, which she found to be Jameson and Rio after looking through a slit of her eyes.

The two of them were brothers who shared a history with her. Why are they doing this?

As Veronica squinted, she glanced at the quiet underground space and knew that she could totally escape under the circumstances.

However, in the end, she still closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious while she was carried into the car.

The car was being driven on the road after it had exited the underground parking lot.

Even with closed eyes, she intently listened to their conversation.

“Hey, bro, how should we kill her?”

“Floch’s orders were that we should do it so that no one could trace the matter back to us or them.”

“I’m afraid this doesn’t seem that easy since they gave us such a high price to deal with her.”

“You fool. We’ll just have to set her apartment on fire after leaving her in it.”

As she listened to their words, it made her mock them in her heart. Rather than going through all this trouble, why not just create a simple car accident? After all, isn‘ t this the Larson Family‘s specialty?

After half an hour, Veronica was brought back to her apartment.

The door to the living room was opened with a key of unknown origin by the brothers.

She was placed on the couch after they closed the door.

“What should we do now, bro?” Rio asked.

Jameson took out a pair of gloves from his pockets. “Wear these and don’t leave any evidence behind.”

While saying that, he took out two bottles of highly concentrated liquor and a bunch of cigarette butts. “Throw these cigarette butts into the trash bins in her bedroom and toilet.”

“Why?”

“It’s obviously to create the impression that the fire was caused by her smoking in the house.”

“Oh, you’re so intelligent, bro. What if she wakes up in the middle of all this, though?”

“I have a sleeping agent that can be inhaled. This can eliminate the possibility of her waking up in the midst.”

Thinking that Veronica was still unconscious, the brothers started to arrange the scene meticulously.

One person was responsible for throwing the cigarette butts in each room’s trash can. On top of that, there was a cigarette pack that they used Veronica’s hand to crush a few times before carefully placing it at the predetermined spot.

The other person used a towel that was doused in the sleeping agent to cover both her nose and mouth for a whole thirty seconds before removing it.

After that, they lay her flat on the sofa. Her left hand, which was hanging from the

couch, held the cigarette as they spilled the alcohol onto the carpet with the remaining alcohol in the bottle on the table.

“Bro, can a fire be created just like this?”

“The cigarette in her hand is already lit. Wait till it burns to the end; then, the sparks falling on the carpet will instantly start a fire.”

“Wow, you really are smart.”

After a brief conversation between the two, they then left the bedroom in a hurry.

The whole process from start to finish was within three minutes as they had done it with lightning speed.

Bang

Hearing the living room close, Veronica slowly opened her eyes with a hint of iciness flashing across it.

Although their plan contained some flaws, all evidence would have been destroyed by the fire after

As the brothers from the Dusk Family knew Veronica, they could lie about her being a compulsive smoker and even drank concentrated alcohol frequently.

In a short time, the police would be hard pressed to locate anything suspicious, especially with the Larson Family bribing their way out of this behind the scenes.

When that happens, her death would be ruled out as just an accident!

However, what these people were unaware of was that as someone who grew up in a village, there was a reservoir right by Veronica’s house, which meant that she could swim and hold her breath extremely well.

So, when her mouth and nose had been covered earlier, she managed to not inhale any of the sleeping agent.

The important thing was…

She had already predicted that the Larson Family would make a move on her. At the same time at the Twilight Club, it had been half an hour since Veronica said that she was heading out for a breather and was nowhere to be seen.

Xavier, who went out to search for her, failed to locate any signs of her anywhere.

Yet, her purse and phone were still inside the private room!

He knew about the fact that the Larsons would seek revenge on Veronica since she had offended them. So, her disappearance made him feel a sense of foreboding danger.

Immediately, he went to the surveillance room and asked to look at the recorded footage.

However, due to Xavier not having the authority to do so, his request was rejected.

Now that he was left with no choice, he could only phone Matthew. “Matthew, how did you teach your staff here at the club? Don’t I even have the power to look at the surveillance footage?”

Matthew, who was accompanying Elizabeth at the hospital at that moment, was surprised by Xavier’s sudden tirade.

This was the first time that Xavier called him as they had not contacted each other before.

“The club has all kinds of VIPs coming in and out. Without the proper authorization, your request would naturally be rejected.”

Not wanting to know about the specifics, Matthew flatly rejected his request.

The reason why the Twilight Club was the club of choice for the rich and famous of Bloomstead was because of the level of privacy it offered for its customers.

In Bloomstead, nobody could just simply check whether a particular individual had previously appeared at a club.

This was why the guards for the surveillance room rejected Xavier’s request to look at the footage.

“Veronica vanished in the club half an hour ago. Although her bag and phone are still in the private room, she herself is nowhere to be seen. I’m warning you, Matthew, if anything happens to her, I’ll raze this place!”

On the other side, an angry Xavier, who was in a panic, said those words.

As Matthew heard those words, he felt his heart skip a beat as it tightened. Veronica‘s missing?

Now that he could feel the raging Xavier’s nervousness, Matthew knew Xavier was not pulling a prank on him.

After hesitating for a short while, he replied, “Pass the phone to the head of surveillance.”

The head of surveillance immediately granted Xavier’s request to watch the footage after Matthew’s orders over the phone.

In the footage, Veronica could be seen entering the camera’s blindspot. When she reappeared, two men had already held her by the shoulders.

“D*mn it, sh*t has hit the fan!”

Following the trail, Xavier discovered the car that the brothers from the Dusk Family drove from the club’s underground parking lot.

He instantly left the surveillance room and dashed to his car before leaving the premises.

While on the road, he had used his personal relations and provided the details of the car before tracing it to the Regalia Condominium.

At the same time, Matthew, who was looking at the information on his laptop in the small living room outside the ward, was growing restless.

In the end, he called the club manager and ordered him to inquire about the situation at the surveillance room.

“Sir, Veronica was not drunk at all. However, from the looks of the footage, she was carried out by two suspicious-looking fellows after reappearing from the camera’s blindspot.”

Hearing the manager’s words made Matthew’s expression darken as he probed, “What exactly happened?”

“Young master, judging from what you have said, I think that Veronica… might be in trouble.”
