Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1022

Lamia stood up and bowed to him as tears streamed down her face. "Thank you," she said, then turned around and looked at the ship before walking away dejectedly.

The man also looked at the ship and asked, "Is your friend on that ship?"

Hearing that, Lamia paused and turned to look at the man while nodding her head. "Is your friend on board too?" she asked.

The man nodded slightly and then shook his head. "Well... I guess you could say she's a friend. She's also my benefactor."

"What's your name?" Lamia asked curiously.

"Lionel," he replied. He was Nelson's younger brother. Before Nelson died, he entrusted Veronica with the task of saving his younger brother, Lionel. Veronica kept her promise by rescuing Lionel and giving him a large sum of money to start a business.

Meanwhile, on the ship, a woman wearing a red dress walked out of the living room and sat curiously next to Veronica. She pointed at a carved wooden box and said, "Open it and see what's inside."

"Okay." Veronica nodded and opened the box. Inside was a document with the words 'Gold Mine Cooperation Agreement' written. Veronica's eyes lit up, and she looked at Eleanor, then at Matthew. "Dominik gave this to you," she said while handing the document to Matthew.

"Well, at least he has a bit of a conscience." Eleanor sighed, and there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Veronica noticed Eleanor's disappointment and hugged her shoulders while comforting her. "If you don't mind, you're also part of our family from now on."
