Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 296

A normal explosion from a balloon shouldn't cause any casualties. Thus, it was obvious that something had rigged it up, and she had to keep the evidence preserved.

"Are you the wedding director? Give me back my woman!"

"I knew it! Your company isn't reliable."

"Look at my son! How are you going to compensate for it!"

The couple's family members swarmed her, knowing that Veronica was the wedding director. One of them just furiously grabbed her by the hair and slapped her in the face.

As she was in the middle of searching for the evidence, the sudden assault took her by surprise. Feeling the stinging sensation on her cheeks, she yanked the woman's wrist. "What do you think you're doing?"

Like a belligerent beast that would pounce on its prey at any time, she barked in a rage, "Can't you see that the balloon has exploded? It's obvious that someone has done something with it! Whether it's actually your enemy or my enemy, nothing is confirmed yet! If you're going to make a ruckus and ruin the evidence, you will never find out who the culprit is!"

Then, Veronica flung her hand and the woman stumbled to her feet, after which her family managed to catch her in time before she fell.

"F*ck! How dare you speak so rudely when you’re the one who has ruined the wedding?"

"Get her!"

"How dare a mere wedding planner act up?"

"Ridiculous."

Veronica's warning went unheeded, and the crowd began to throw punches and kicks at her.

However, the fallen Veronica did not feel any pain. She opened her eyes to see Xavier, who hugged her tightly in his embrace at that moment.

While he was enduring the kicks and punches, she could hear his heavy breathing and trembling body in the proximity.

Her mind went blank in an instant as she focused on Xavier. A mixture of emotions surged in her heart, which ached at the sight of him suffering for her.

At the same time, the rest of the guests had dispersed, leaving only Matthew, Troy, Conrad, Yvonne, Ruka, and some reporters at the scene.

"Oh my God! What's happening?" Yvonne gasped as she covered her mouth. Her first instinct was to call for Conrad, but the presence of the reporters thwarted her. Thus, she resorted to Matthew. "President Kings, please help Roni."

The man in the suit stood firmly beneath the stage. With an emotionless face, he watched the event that was happening onstage. His brows frowned lightly, and a glint flickered in his eyes.

Troy attempted to ask for Matthew's opinion, "President Kings?"

However, the glow in Matthew's eyes dimmed as they fixated on the woman, who was held tightly in Xavier's arms.

"President Kings, what are you staring at? Help her!" The distraught Yvonne stomped on her foot.

To her dismay, Matthew averted his gaze and glanced at her coldly before leaving, but the reporters saw their chance and accosted him immediately.

"President Kings, the wedding director is your god-sister, Veronica Murphy. Do you have anything to say about it?"
