Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 234

"Do you not like the position of being the future princess?"

Veronica was a bit in awe of Yvonne.

After all, not a lot of people could resist both money and power.

"What's so good about being a princess? I prefer my current free and easy life. Besides, Zac isn't exactly a saint either." The mention of Zac worsened Yvonne's mood.

Waving her hands, she continued, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Either way, since you've caused my deal to be canceled, you’re treating me today."

"Of course, of course."

Veronica nodded.

Even though she was smiling brightly, she looked at Yvonne with a hint of suspicion.

Can she really be trusted?

After going through so much, Veronica was not one to simply place her trust in another now.

In the past, Xavier, whom she trusted so much, also disappointed her in the end.

Soon enough, their food was served, and the two chatted while eating.

Cutting the steak, Yvonne asked Veronica, "How's business coming along? Do you need me to introduce you to some potential customers?"

"It's pretty bad. I'm taking it slow now."

"There are a few people planning on getting married. I can introduce them to you." "Aren't you kind?" One always had an ulterior motive when offering up something for nothing.

Veronica did not think they were close enough for Yvonne to risk her own life to save hers, nor were they close enough for Yvonne to introduce any potential customers her way.

Even now, when Veronica had ruined her and Eloch's collaboration, a normal person would be outraged at this, as should Yvonne.

Nonetheless, not only did Yvonne not get angry, she also patiently explained it to Veronica.

Chewing on a piece of steak, Veronica was slowly pondering over this.

Am I just paranoid? Or is there something off with Yvonne?

Yet, she could only observe quietly for now as she did not have any concrete proof.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? You're the god-granddaughter of Old Mrs. Kings, so I have to take care of you. Otherwise, Young Master Matthew might cancel the collaboration between my company and his. If that happens, then I will be at the end of my wits."

"That makes sense."

The two then continued to chat while eating before bidding each other farewell.

A few days later, the slow business of Encounters was seeing a pick up again.

Within a month, the company was marching into an upward rise as they found themselves short on staff in the planning department, so Veronica started to hire employees again.

Profit was certainly rising now, as even though it had direct correlation to the operation of the company, it was not hard to see from the customers' reactions that most of them only came because of Veronica's identity as the god-granddaughter of Elizabeth.

In other words, she was only able to achieve all this because of her identity.

Veronica did not feel very good about this. It instead gave her a sense of defeat.

Originally, she wanted to be the godgranddaughter of Elizabeth because of the backing of the Kings Family, so she knew that nobody would dare to touch her or, by extension, her foster parents.

Veronica was already shameless in making use of the influence the Kingses wielded, and now she was even making money thanks to them. This all made her feel restless, guilty and agitated.

It was as if the years she spent studying were wasted, making her seem like a useless ornament waiting for people to feed her.

After receiving a statement from the financial department, Veronica found out that the company's profit was actually over four million this month!
