Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 262

Counting the days since he left, it would be almost five years since they last saw each other.

Veronica was somewhat baffled at Hendrey's sudden return.

At the same time, Matthew, too, was a little speechless.

Throughout his whole life, Veronica was the only woman who dared to be so unscrupulous and lie to him without thinking twice.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the ward. Glancing at the ward door, Veronica saw Yvonne and Ivana walking in.

"Roni, are you alright?" Yvonne walked over and inquired in concern. "I was scared to death when you fainted earlier."

Ivana placed the fruit basket and milk aside. Though seeing Matthew was expected, she still greeted him respectfully, "You're here too, Young Master Matthew."

Matthew nodded slightly in response with a cold look in his eyes. He then walked to the sofa to take a seat, making room for the two of them.

In the eyes of other people, Matthew had always been aloof and indifferent. He had always carried an arrogant aura that prevented anyone from getting close to him as if he was some kind of unattainable immortal being.

Ivana watched as Matthew took a seat on the sofa. Even if the latter was just sitting with his legs crossed, he invisibly exuded the aura of a king, and his stance was so strong that it was suffocating.

Nevertheless, it was undeniable that Matthew had extremely good facial features.

"Ivana."

Seeing Ivana staring at Matthew in a daze, Yvonne gently nudged her with her elbow, reminding her.

Ivana was two to three years older than Veronica and Yvonne, but she also had a young heart. Hence, she could not help but steal a few more glances at handsome men.

She looked back at them but was not embarrassed because of the peek. Instead, she whispered, "Young Master Matthew is way more handsome in person than in photos." "That's a given." Yvonne nodded and gave Veronica another look as if to tell her that she was the only one unappreciative of Matthew's looks when everyone else would swoon over him.

"I'm fine." Veronica was helpless to Ivana's obsession with Matthew’s appearance, so she only responded to Yvonne's question.

Immediately, she thought of something and inquired, "If you guys came over in a hurry, where are the high heels? Are they still there?"

"I took a look at the shoe after I got it. There are very obvious signs of tampering. I told Ivana too. She already ordered someone to investigate the situation, so don't worry. I believe there will be news soon."

Yvonne was a smart person. When she received the heels that Veronica had tossed out on the runway, she took a glimpse and realized that there was something wrong with them.

While Veronica was unconscious and was sent to the hospital, she did not follow up immediately. Instead, she informed Ivana to investigate the situation.

"I'm sorry, Veronica. I didn't expect something like this to happen today." Speaking of business, Ivana instantly forgot about her obsession with Matthew and sincerely apologized to Veronica, "Competition in the business world is common, but that person had stepped over the line and hurt you."

As she said that, she took out a check from her bag and offered, "Here's a check with 15 thousand dollars. The boss of Julius Atelier wanted me to tell you that you've worked hard this time, so the remaining amount is compensation for you."

Although Veronica suddenly fell unconscious on the runway, she was the god-granddaughter of Elizabeth, and since she had been in the limelight recently, the Julius Atelier jewelry show was well received after the live broadcast.

After the live broadcast, sales exceeded 20,000 within merely half an hour.

"I-It's fine, actually."

Veronica waved her hand in dismissal.

Although she liked money, she knew her limits.

Before taking the job, she had discussed with Ivana to be charged 7,000 dollars for the appearance fee.

Naturally, she had to go along according to the previous verbal agreement.

Ivana was a little surprised as she glanced at Yvonne as if to say, You liar! Didn't you say that she'd be easy to bribe?!
