Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 308

Xavier turned around and left.

One hour later, she was asked to come out of the room, and the four of them had a simple meal in the living room.

The other three mainly focused on Matthew as their topic, and they continued to talk about him.

Meanwhile, Veronica sat there with a despondent look on her face. She looked very downcast after encountering endless pressure and was now quite defeated.

She didn’t eat much and went back to her bedroom to sleep soon after that.

Finally, Conrad and Xavier left at midnight.

Yvonne came over to chat with Veronica for a short while, and subsequently, Veronica placed a sleeping tablet into the glass of water that Yvonne usually took before bedtime.

"I'm sorry."

Veronica felt quite guilty as she looked at Yvonne, who was sound asleep.

At one o'clock in the morning, she grabbed her keys and left the apartment cautiously. She hailed a cab and left for the location where she had parked her car yesterday.

She disguised herself in the car before finally driving to the abandoned warehouse.

However, as soon as she arrived at the destination, she was surprised to see a very familiar silvery-grey Maybach.

She saw the familiar car plate and instantly realized that it was Matthew's car.

Why is he here?

Veronica parked her car and got out to see Matthew puffing on a cigarette while leaning against the car door.

"Are you waiting for me?” She used a distinct male voice and asked.

"Obviously." He shrugged with one hand holding on to a cigarette and shot her a cold look. "Do you think that I'm here to catch some fresh air in the middle of the night?"

Matthew looked at her with a cold and indifferent look on his face, and she looked exactly like a lazy, good-for-nothing man. She perfected the way a man walked.

At that moment, his eyes shone, and he was increasingly drawn to the little surprise from her. He enjoyed such moments tremendously.

On the other hand, Veronica grimaced upon hearing his sarcastic words, and she was rendered speechless. "Just say what you're here for."

"I've got something here that should be useful to your backer." Matthew handed over a flash drive to Veronica and mentioned it coldly.

She took the flash drive from him and asked curiously, "Are you seriously going to give this to me without even finding out my identity? Why should I follow your words?"

He took the last puff on his cigarette before flinging the cigarette butt onto the ground. Subsequently, he stamped out the lit cigarette with the front of his shoes and blew a puff of smoke at her face while replying calmly, "Other than Veronica, there's no one else who would choose to hire private investigators like you. That's all she can afford!"

Veronica was currently disguised as a private investigator, and she had also arranged for a man from the private investigator agency to keep watch over Randall today, so Matthew easily figured out her identity.

At that point, Veronica was speechless as she thought, What the heck! He's looking down on me, huh?

Although she was significantly displeased, frankly speaking, she did lack the money, which was why she had merely been able to afford to hire the private investigators to help.

As for Conrad and Xavier, they were powerful and well-to-do men, so they had their own bodyguards and henchmen.

Even if they needed men at short notice, they could easily afford to spend good money and hire elite units.

Meanwhile, Veronica felt awkward and embarrassed after being mocked relentlessly by Matthew. Fortunately, she had a face mask on, so her expression was not evident.

She pouted and asked, "Your news is all over the internet. You've disassociated yourself from her since the start, right? Why are you helping her then?"

"I'm just helping myself."

He opened his jacket and placed both hands into the pocket of his pants before lifting his cold eyes and saying, "Other than that, pass this message to that stupid woman, Veronica. Tell her not to cause further trouble for me; otherwise, I'll definitely teach her a lesson that she'll never forget."

At that point, there was a burst of anger within Veronica upon hearing the words 'stupid woman'.

"You just said that I..."

In her frenzied moment, she had nearly exposed her own identity, but fortunately, she had on a voice changer just in case something unexpected occurred. If not, all her efforts would have gone down the drain with a single sentence.

She instantly paused and stopped talking for a second before responding, "You've said that my backer is stupid, but I clearly don't see how smart you are either. My backer told me that the exposure of the conversation between you and Mr. Conrad Kings indicated your stupidity. Clearly, you lack the most basic knowledge of being on your guard against others."
