Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1171

Back at the hidden clan, Liam arrived at the foot of the hill and called Veronica, waking her up from Matthew's embrace.

She picked up her phone and recognized Liam's call from the string of numbers that were shown on the screen.

Only Liam knew her phone number because she had just changed it yesterday.

She looked at Matthew before pressing the speakerphone button to answer the call. "Hello?"

"Miss Murphy, where are you?" The person on the other line asked.

Veronica looked around and realized she didn't know where she was, so she explained, "I had something come up unexpectedly. Send me your location, and I'll come find you later."

Liam had come specifically to get Veronica, but he had left empty-handed. Although he was upset, instead of expressing it, he just laughed awkwardly. "That works too. I'll text you my location."

"Sure. I'll see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Veronica leaned back in Matthew's arms, putting her arms around his waist and squinting her eyes. "They've all arrived. Is there going to be a big change in the hidden clan?"

"Different situations call for different action. There's no need to worry."

He reassured her, but Veronica couldn't help but feel uneasy despite his words.

Afterward, the two of them straighten up their attire and then set off, following the address Liam had given them.

An hour and a half later, they reached their destination. It was already 6.30PM., and the sun was setting in the west.

Liam had chosen a bonfire feast on a lawn outside the hidden clan palace.

Mountains and water surrounded the lawn's north side, creating a lovely scene. It was dusk, and the glowing blaze of the bonfire enhanced the beauty of the flickering fireflies as they danced across the green grass.

When they entered, they were stopped by soldiers outside. They gained access after Veronica Murphy revealed who she was.
