Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 205

This thought made Veronica's joy disappear, as she hesitated for a second before saying, "Investigate if they are Matthew's people. If they are, return the deposit and reject them."

Even though the incident at Matthew's wedding caused the reputation of Encounters, her bridal shop, to tank, she still did not want to receive any help from him.

That disgusting man. He must be planning something else. I should just stay well away from him.

Shirley only felt that this was a wasted opportunity as she replied, "Are we really going to reject this deal? Miss Murphy, our shop had sacked over ten staff members at this point. If no business comes our way, the employees might grow doubtful. I'm afraid..."

"We just need to keep to our principles. I know what to do."

Not saying much to Shirley, Veronica then hung up.

After that, she sat in the room by herself, remembering all of a sudden that it was Elizabeth's birthday the day after tomorrow. However, under these kinds of conditions, she was thinking that Elizabeth might not hold a banquet anymore.

Yet, she still knew she needed to choose an appropriate gift for her.

At the Spinfluence Group.

Matthew, who had dealt with all matters at hand, returned to the company to continue working.

Reaching his office, Thomas stated, "Boss, our stocks have dropped by a whole three points since the exchange opened in the afternoon. The higher ups have been voicing their complaints over this and said that they wish to arrange for a board meeting to discuss this tomorrow."

Matthew listened to him as he sipped on his tea and focused on reading through the documents on his table.

It was only after a while that he slowly uttered, "Just let everything take its course."

"Mr. Conrad is back. I think he wants to make use of this chaos and reap some benefits."

Thomas knew these kinds of people's little ploys the most.

Nevertheless, whatever he could think of, Matthew could naturally think of too.

Instead, Matthew still kept his calm, as he would never waste his thoughts on such little things, nor did he think that such little things were worth his attention.

"We'll handle any changes by not changing."

After signing the document, Matthew handed it to Thomas and asked, "How is the progress on the thing I asked you to handle?" "What?" At first, Thomas was a bit bewildered, but he then instantly knew what his employer was talking about as he sighed defeatly. "The subordinates were not too bright and messed up the whole thing. Miss Murphy had returned the deposit and refused to accept their deal."

"Useless fools!"

Matthew exclaimed coldly.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, someone knocked on his office door.

Looking up, Matthew landed his gaze on the person who came in, Conrad.

Standing up slowly, he said, "Uncle Conrad?"

Thomas turned around to see Conrad before he nodded and bowed. "Hello, Uncle Conrad. You guys catch up first. I’ll be going back to work now."

Because of Matthew and Thomas’ close relationship, he also followed Matthew and greeted Conrad the same way.

Nodding, Conrad did not say a word as Thomas exited the office before closing the door.

Inside the office, one was standing while the other remained seated, with both of them exchanging gazes of indiscernible depth.

"Uncle, what is it?"

Matthew knew Conrad too well to know that he would not come visit him without a specific aim.

He knew that Conrad, who came to him personally, did not just want to tour the company.
