Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 305

Veronica drove back to the town center and removed her makeup in the car. Subsequently, she changed her clothes and parked the car at the location she had agreed upon with Shirley.

After she had done all that, she got out of the car and hailed a cab from the sidewalk.

The cab arrived not too far from Yvonne's apartment when she discovered that there was a street cart on the sidewalk, so she got out of the cab before arriving at her destination. She sat by the street cart and enjoyed some food and beer.

She had spent the whole night dealing with the hassle, and she had assumed that it would take quite a while for her to find out who the mastermind behind all this was.

However, it seemed she was wrong and she didn’t even need that much time because the truth was right in front of her.

She had thought about this countless times and the suspects in her mind were Ruka, Tiffany, and even Conrad, but she never expected Xavier to be the perpetrator.

She drank one glass after the other, and the burning sensation in her throat cleared her mind.

She had thought that Xavier could comprehend the decision she was forced to make in that situation for harming him and Melissa in the warehouse, but she was perhaps too naive.

As she thought of this, she couldn't help recalling the episode at the Kings Residence when she had ended up drunk and Conrad had handed her over to Xavier. He took her to a hotel and spent the night there. She was fearful upon realizing the danger she was in that night. Fortunately, nothing happened; otherwise, it would be too late for any regrets.

She sat and continued to drink by herself as she sat by the street cart. After paying her bill, she stumbled back to Yvonne’s house.

Yvonne was fast asleep when Veronica got home, so Veronica freshened up quickly and went to bed after that.

The next morning, Veronica woke up at six o'clock as usual. However, she did not get out of bed. Instead, she lay there as she used her phone in bed.

Shortly after that, Yvonne woke up, and she flipped over in bed as she stretched her body. "Phew. It feels so comfortable to wake up from a good night’s sleep."

"Good morning, Roni."

Yvonne clutched the quilt, and her eyes weren’t fully open as she greeted Veronica lazily.

Veronica responded, "Hey, good morning."

"What would you like for breakfast?" Yvonne asked.

Veronica shot her a look. "Are you planning to make me breakfast?" "In your dreams. Conrad will buy us something when he comes over."

"Okay, I don’t mind anything."

Veronica put down her phone and snuggled in bed. "I want to get more sleep.” In actual fact, she had no urge to sleep at all. However, she found Conrad's behavior overly enthusiastic and it seemed to have blinded her to his true self. She couldn't help wondering that perhaps Conrad was in collusion with Xavier.

One hour later, Veronica got out of bed and sat on the couch in the living room.

At that moment, Conrad arrived with breakfast.

As soon as Conrad entered the house, Xavier turned up with breakfast as well, right after that.

"Roni, did you sleep well last night?"

Last night, she had brushed past an aloof and elegant-looking Xavier, and there was a haughty aura that surrounded him. Right now, though, there was a slightly wicked smile on his handsome face, which made him seem much friendlier and approachable. It was such a stark difference in the personality of the same person.

"What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Conrad noticed that she seemed to be preoccupied with her thoughts, so he reached over and waved his hand in front of her with a concerned expression.

"Hmm? It’s n-nothing."

Veronica shook her head and glanced at the spread on the table. "I'm hungry. I was waiting for you guys to come over with breakfast."

She then grabbed some cutlery and started the meal.

Meanwhile, Xavier came over and took a seat next to her. He expressed concern and comforted her. "I've arranged for some men to investigate the matter, so I'm quite sure that there will be an outcome soon enough. Don't feel burdened or stressed unnecessarily. For the time being, just stay here and relax with Yvonne."

In the past, she had regarded Xavier as a friend as close as family, but right now, Xavier was a thorn in her side and she couldn't help being consciously wary of him. However, she had to keep things to herself, and she couldn't show her true feelings because she didn’t have enough evidence to back herself up. Most importantly, there was no benefit at all in exposing the matter as there would be serious repercussions.
