Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 312

"Veronica, I mentioned to you ages ago that I wanted to work for you." Shirley lifted her chin in challenge, and she had a smug look on her face. She seemed intent on sticking by Veronica's side.

"Hah! Work for me?"

Veronica snorted derisively. "I’m about to go bust and won't even be able to support myself. If you stick by my side, you will be worse off than I."

"I'm sure that things will work out for you." Shirley chuckled and turned around to point at the door.

Veronica looked behind her and saw Matthew standing by the entrance of the shop.

Veronica was confused by his sudden arrival. She retracted her hand from Shirley’s shoulders and asked him perplexedly, "Why are you here?"

"What do you mean by that? President Murphy, have you forgotten about our contract?"

He stood upright and shot a cold look at her before striding inside. "I've invested millions in the project, so aren't you supposed to seek my opinion before you end the business? My project hasn’t even started yet." For a moment there, Veronica was at a loss for words, and she had no idea how to respond to Matthew’s words.

His words made sense, and he had indeed invested in Encounters Bridal Store. Besides, he had also rented ten storeys of the building next door in preparation for a booming business.

However, he had taken offense to a personal issue and stopped the renovation work next door. From then on, he no longer stepped foot into Encounters Bridal Store.

She had assumed that he no longer cared about their collaboration project.

As such, since the incident happened, it had never crossed her mind that he would pick up this project and proceed with it.

"Based on our original contract, I'm the major shareholder of Encounters Bridal Store, so I'm still the one who calls the shots here."

He walked inside and scanned the messy shop left behind from the riot, and it felt as if a bomb had exploded in her, and it looked like the aftermath of a battlefield. He tried to find somewhere to sit down, but he couldn’t find a suitable spot.

"Get me a chair." He lifted his finger and pointed at the chair by the side as he mentioned indifferently.

Shirley nodded instantly. "Hold on, President Kings, I'll get you..."

"Stay where you are!" Matthew hollered and pointed his slender finger at Veronica. "I want you to get me the chair."

"I..." She was significantly displeased to be ordered about by him as if she was his subordinate.

However, she considered the situation carefully and realized that Matthew had secretly provided her with so much help, that his request wasn’t too much.

"Okay, I'll bring you the chair.”

She turned around and walked to the corner to grab a chair that was intact and wiped it with a cloth before placing it in front of Matthew. "President Kings, what are your instructions for today?"

He remained seated with his legs crossed as he leaned back slightly. He linked his fingers and placed them on his abdomen. He sat there like a boss, and he gave out an air of dominance and arrogance.

Although there was a hint of laziness in his posture, there was also a domineering coldness, which was akin to a king of the forest who had just awakened from slumber.

"You're the person in charge of Encounters Bridal Store, so have you analyzed the issue after encountering this incident?"

She nodded. "It was a lapse on our part to not check the equipment properly. That was why the issue occured." "One would definitely not be tripped twice by the same thing, but you’re the exception to the rule because you're the stupid person who was tripped twice by the same issue." He chided her without any reservations.

After being told off, she couldn't help feeling resentful. "How would I have known anyway? This isn't entirely my fault! After all, it's quite hard to dodge an attack that's launched silently. I never expected Damien to secretly plot behind my back!"

"You've made a mistake, so that's ultimately your fault. Everyone would only look at the outcome. No one cares about the process."
