Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 178

As his head was still buried in his work, Matthew stared at the document on his desk and carelessly asked, "How's the decoration of the venue coming along?"

"The company that Miss Murphy has taken over has given their all the whole time. The result... has exceeded expectations."

Although Thomas was somewhat worried when the wedding ceremony was first handed over to Veronica and even secretly kept notes on her progress as well as a backup team, he later found out that she had taken over a wedding planning company and was about to submit her proposal to him.

After perusing the proposal, he found that it was perfect and was stunned a few hours ago when he saw the venue that had been erected.

At this moment, Matthew capped his pen after scrawling his signature on the document and raised an eyebrow at Thomas. "Oh? Is that so?"

"You can tell how much work Miss Murphy has thrown into it."

"When has she ever not put any work into earning my money?" Matthew asked with a faint smile. Then, suddenly thinking of something, he continued, "How much is she asking for?"

"Um..." Thomas paused before lifting a hand to rub his nose. "Three hundred million."

It had to be said that such a prosperous wedding would naturally be exorbitant.

Once again, Matthew raised an eyebrow with a silent smile at Thomas.

Seeing how quiet his boss was, Thomas continued, "A hundred and fifty million has been paid in advance. The rest will be paid after the wedding ceremony."

"I see." Matthew inclined his head.

Then, he rose to his feet, walked over to the bar, and poured them each a glass of wine.

After that, he strolled over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at Bloomstead's nightscape, whereupon he fell into silence.

Frowning slightly, Thomas glanced at Matthew and summoned his courage after a moment of hesitation. "Do you want to see Miss Murphy off after you marry Miss Larson, Young Master Matthew?"

There was an obvious meaning in Thomas' words. He was reminding Matthew that once he married Tiffany, he would have to let go of Veronica.

That was precisely something that Matthew pondered as well.

"Miss Murphy has a strong will and would never yield to others. Once you marry Miss Larson, nothing will ever happen between you and Miss Murphy again." When it came to Veronica, Thomas rarely brought her up in front of Matthew and would analyze the stakes whenever he had to do so.

As expected, Matthew's face darkened and his gaze turned cold.

Even though he didn't like what Thomas said, he had to admit that Thomas was right.

The man casually lifted his glass and downed his drink. Then, after he placed his glass down, he pulled his coat from the rack and strode out of the office, saying, "You don't need to follow me."

And just like that, Thomas stopped in his tracks.

After going downstairs, Matthew took a cab to Encounters Bridal Store.

As he glanced up at the out-of-the-way, ramshackle, and sparsely furnished three-story wedding company, he shook his head with a helpless smile.

How on earth had this damn woman managed to search for such a place?

And how much would she earn by asking for 300 million?

Pushing open the car door, he stepped out and buttoned up his coat before entering the wedding planning company.

"We're sorry, sir, but we’re closed—Oh my, y-you're Young Master Matthew, aren't you?"

The busy employees in the lobby were prepared to kick their visitor out, only to find that it was Matthew once they fixed their eyes on him.

At this moment, he was in a tailored suit that perfectly complimented his sturdy figure. Every step he took showed off his aristocratic bearing, and his handsome face was so flawless and beautiful that he resembled a Greek sculpture. It was hard to look away from him.
