Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 281

Beep. Beep. Beep

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

"Why isn't he picking up?" Veronica muttered, panicking the entire time.

Since the first call was not answered, she dialed Conrad's number once more. Alas, he picked up. "Who is this?”

"Uncle Conrad, it's Veronica. Where are you now? Are you busy?" she asked, questions flying out other mouth.

"I'm not busy. What is it?"

Even over the phone, he could sense how anxious she was.

He was certain something had gone wrong.

However, before he answered, he could not help but think about how odd the entire situation was. Why would she call him instead of Matthew?

"Uncle Conrad, Yvie is in trouble. She has been kidnapped. She will be at the international airport soon. Can you come and save her with me?"

She knew what her limits were, so she had to ask Conrad for help.

"Okay. I'll be there soon."

After a few more questions about the situation, he hung up.

Nevertheless, Veronica still kept some of Yvonne's secrets, and she did not mention Zac's name. Otherwise, Conrad might back out in fear of Zac.

When the call ended, she heaved a sigh of relief and handed the borrowed phone back to the driver. It was then that she realized the driver was staring at her in fear through the rearview mirror.

Sensing that she spoke too loudly earlier, she was speechless for a while.

Crap.

She had just spoken about Yvonne getting kidnapped in the back of his car. Anyone would be afraid upon hearing that.

"Don't be scared, sir," she said with a chuckle. "My friends are playing a murder game, and this is their latest script. It's a very fun game."

"Oh, I see. Haha. I have heard of that. You scared me just now." The middle-aged taxi driver had been scared to his wits.

He seemed to have believed in her placating words as he eventually calmed down.

"Kids these days have very interesting games. Isn't it a little too much to go to the airport for a game?"

"Well, it's all in the name of fun. Plus, we can claim the expenses." She always had a great poker face when she was lying. She sounded so frank that her lie was believable.

Soon, her taxi arrived at the airport.

After paying the driver, she then wandered into the airport while listening to the call from Yvonne.

What she heard then made her nervous.

"Let me go, Zac. Even if you kidnap me to Castron, I will not marry you. Don't touch me! I won't go on the plane.”

Hearing that, Veronica knew they were already somewhere in the airport.

However, she was not a powerful woman. There was no way she could enter the private section of the airport.

Just as she was hesitating, Conrad ran up to her. "Veronica!”

"You're finally here, Uncle Conrad. Quick. Yvonne is boarding the plane right now. A moment longer and we might be too late."

She dragged him into the airport as she said so.

"Don't worry," said Conrad. "I've contacted the crew of the airport. They will find a way to stall them. Still, you must tell me who is trying to kidnap Yvie."

After all, not everyone could afford a private plane.

Not to mention, an international flight!

Her eyes glistened with hesitation. In the end, she caved in. "It's her fiancee. Well, to be accurate, it is a man her father has betrothed her to, but she doesn't like him."
