Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 188

Veronica glanced at Yvonne with a baffled look and smiled without saying a word.

Then, with complicated feelings, she lay back on the passenger seat, closed her eyes, and pretended to doze off.

The car drove on for half an hour before it arrived at a private small western-style building in a remote location.

After parking the car, Yvonne patted Veronica on her shoulder. "Veronica? It's time to get off. Damn, how could you still fall asleep after what happened? I admire your calmness," she muttered as she got out of the car.

When Yvonne got out of the car, Veronica still hadn't gotten down yet.

Yvonne frowned and walked over to the passenger seat before opening the door. "Veronica, get out of the car!"

"Oh. Where are we now?"

The groggy Veronica rubbed her eyes and walked out of the car, as if she hadn't fully woken up.

Yvonne turned back and pointed at the building. "Come in with me. This is my—"

However, before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back, pinning her against the car, and the next moment, a sharp and cool dagger was placed against her neck.

"Tell me: Who are you?!"

Veronica, who still seemed sleepy just now, looked angry and gloomy all of a sudden. She had lost all sleepiness from moments ago.

It was obvious that she was acting just now.

Yvonne was stunned for a moment, then she smiled. "Veronica, stop playing around. I'm trying to save you. Do you normally treat your savior this way?"

"Savior? Heh."

Veronica's red lips curled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a sarcastic sneer. "Are you telling me the truth or not? I will give you five seconds to tell me; otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

From the first time she met Yvonne, she had been suspicious of this woman and had always felt that she was very scheming.

After meeting in Bloomstead again, she had been observing Yvonne's every reaction.

"S-Stop it. Swords have no eyes.

Nothing good is going to come out of this if you hurt me."

Yvonne waved her hand and couldn't help gulping from the nerves. "I really just wanted to save..."

"Five!"

"I'm serious. I'm really just trying to save you."

"Four!" "Veronica Murphy, are you out of your mind? Why—"

"Three."

"I bet you won't be able to do this to me."

"Two."

"Go ahead, then."

"One!"

When Veronica finished the last count, she saw Yvonne staring at her intently while her eyes narrowed slightly. Her hand holding the dagger retracted, and in a flash, she stabbed directly at Yvonne's face.

The speed was staggering, but at the critical moment, Yvonne's pupils shrank slightly. She suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Veronica's wrist with her hands, and clenched her fist with the other hand before punching Veronica's abdomen fiercely.

Veronica was initially in pain, which caused her to stagger back a few steps, but she soon regained her footing.

Instead of being angry, she smiled. "You're revealing your skills so quickly, eh?"

Just now, she deliberately attacked her in the face with a dagger. Normally, people would subconsciously resist when they encountered extremely dangerous situations.

Veronica only wanted to give it a try, but she managed to reveal Yvonne's skills.

To be able to catch a blade barehanded in an instant meant that her ability should not be underestimated, and her skills must be no less better than Veronica's.

Yvonne realized that she was tricked, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Did what happened today have anything to do with you?"

Up till now, Veronica only felt that Yvonne's identity was strange, but there was no evidence to prove that what happened in the banquet hall today had anything to do with her.

So, she was just speculating.

"It had nothing to do with me.” Yvonne shook her head.
