Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 144

Veronica walked to the park's entrance and asked the passersby if they had seen Elizabeth while waiting for Matthew, but her efforts were to no avail.

Around ten minutes later, a sedan car sped to the park like a flash of lightning. Then the car came to a halt in front of Veronica.

After getting out of the car, Matthew walked up to Veronica with a solemn face and questioned, "Whaf s going on exactly?"

"Grandma asked me out to the park and chatted a lot with me. She even told me about her Alzheimer's disease. She said she has been talking for quite some time, so I wanted to buy some water for her, but she disappeared when I came back."

Veronica was extremely anxious. "I've asked many passersby in the park, but none has seen Grandma. All I found was her phone."

While explaining, she passed the smartphone in her hand to Matthew.

Matthew took over the phone while maintaining a cool face despite seeing Veronica's guilt-stricken and worried look. "You don't have to look for Grandma. Just leave."

With that, Matthew turned to get into the car with the phone in his hand and closed the car door with a bang.

Meanwhile, Veronica was startled for a moment as she stood on the spot while watching Matthew leave in his car.

The way he treated her was overly hostile.

Ha! Is he giving me a cold shoulder because he thinks I have no utility value? How can one be this realistic?

Veronica gazed at Matthew's car until it disappeared from her sight.

She knew Matthew would definitely use all his power to search for Elizabeth, but she was still worried. So, she continued searching for Elizabeth nearby.

However, it was like looking for a needle in the haystack to find someone among a sea of people.

In between, Veronica called Matthew again and sent him some voice messages, but Matthew did not answer her calls.

Then, she decided to call Elizabeth's phone, but the result was the same—no one picked up.

As such, Veronica figured that he would most likely still be looking for Elizabeth.

For the entire day, Veronica went to all the nearby places and searched for Elizabeth crazily. It was only until the night had fallen did she sit on a bench at the roadside wearily after going around for the whole day.

While resting on the bench, Veronica called Matthew again. The line was connected, but no one answered the call.

Just as the call was about to hang up automatically, the other end finally picked up the call.

"Why didn't you answer my calls? Did you manage to find Grandma?" Veronica asked anxiously.

However, it was Thomas' voice that emerged from the other end of the line. "Miss Murphy, we already found Old

Madam Kings this morning."

"You've found her this morning? Why didn't you tell me then?! Do you know I—"

Veronica threw a fit upon hearing Thomas' response, so she raised her voice and was almost about to curse.

However, Thomas interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. "Young Master Matthew requested you to not call anymore from now on."

Veronica, who was originally speaking, clammed up at once and was stunned for a few seconds before regaining her composure.

So, they actually found the old lady in the morning, but Matthew did not even want to pick up my calls because I pose no value to him now. I see!

Veronica's anger from a moment ago was extinguished by this cold fact as her heart sank. The rage she felt earlier no longer existed but what was left was inexpressible sarcasm.

"I see. Since that's the case, I'll hang up now.

After ending the call, Veronica stared at the bottle of water in her hand which was almost empty, and she felt a sense of humiliation welling in her heart.
