Chapter 626 Antheena’s Madness
“Miss Murphy, I always have a strong hatred for people who bite the hand that feeds them. I’ve saved
your life, so I’m gonna kill you… so that we’re even,” said Antheena. Then, she raised her hand, aimed
her Desert Eagle at Veronica, and fired at her.
At the sight of this, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward to shield Veronica with his body.
“Watch out, Mrs. Kings!”
In the nick of time, Veronica shoved the bodyguard away with all her might and fell to the ground with
him to dodge the bullet. However, as soon as she fell over, she saw the other bodyguard getting shot
with no ability to fight back. The bodyguard collapsed, whereas the other two dodged the bullet by
quickly hiding behind a big tree.
Lying prostrate in the thorny bushes, she aimed her gun at Antheena and her men and fired a few
shots with quick precision, taking down two of the mercenaries.
The bodyguard who had fallen over with her quickly fought back by shooting the mercenaries. He said

“Okay.” Not daring to keep on fighting, Veronica hurriedly crawled away on her belly.
She was naturally nervous when such a fierce battle happened at close quarters, but she quickly
regained her composure and crawled to the side in an attempt to leave the battlefield. On the other
hand, the few bodyguards fled in a direction opposite to hers in order to draw the gunfire to themselves
and divert the attention of those people.
Seeing that they’d gone far, Veronica finally got up and ran forward quickly while keeping a protective
hand on her belly for fear of hurting the babies in her womb. She had been hospitalized for two weeks
in order to keep the babies, so she was really afraid that she would lose the two adorable babies this
time.
Not daring to pause for a second, she quickly passed through the dense forest. However, before she
could run far, a voice spoke behind her. “Are you running so fast because you’re afraid of me?”
It was Antheena’s voice.
Veronica’s eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, she made a bolt for the big tree on her left and hid behind
it right away.
Bang! As soon as she hid behind the tree, a bullet followed and hit the tree right away. Pieces of the
tree bark flew in all directions, and a wisp of smoke emerged as the bullet embedded itself deeply in
the trunk.
Clutching her handgun with both hands, Veronica asked, “Antheena, I admit that I’ve used you, but I
didn’t touch a hair on your head. Don’t you think you’re going too far in trying to finish me off?”
Bang! As soon as she finished her sentence, another shot was fired at the tree behind her. She could
sense the tree trembling slightly when the bullet hit the trunk. Pressing herself closely against the big
tree, she held her gun in one hand while quickly taking off her raincoat with her other hand.
“Sebastian said that he wouldn’t forget you unless you were dead,” Antheena said loudly. “You hurt him
too much, so I have to kill you.”
Sebastian was the name Xavier used abroad.
Little did Veronica think Antheena’s desire to murder her would stem from Xavier. Suddenly, she flung
the raincoat in her hand from the left side of the tree before leaning out from behind the right side of the

tree. Seeing that Antheena was shooting the raincoat with her attention focused on it, she quickly fired
two shots at the former, hitting her right away.
“Aaah!” Antheena collapsed following a scream.
Veronica managed to hit her. Holding her gun, she cautiously walked toward her while aiming her gun
at her the whole time. “If you have to kill me just because he likes me, how many more ladies are you
gonna kill… Aaah!”
Before she could finish her sentence, a person emerged from her left and hit her in the arm. Letting out
a soft cry of pain, she quickly shot back at the shooter with her right hand, gunning down a mercenary
who showed up on the east side with unfailing accuracy.
The mercenary collapsed following the sound of the gunshot. His figure disappeared into the bushes
and brought down a patch of thorny bushes.
As soon as Veronica looked back, she saw Antheena standing up and aiming her gun at her with her
left hand. “Don’t move!”
At this moment, the two ladies were only a dozen meters away from each other. Antheena was wearing
her tank top, having been hit in her right arm and shoulder. Blood streamed down her shoulder and
soaked her tank top.
