Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 332

Now that Elizabeth had spoken, no one dared to say anything, of course. Nevertheless, everyone sensed her partiality for Veronica.

Veronica hesitated for a moment. Just as she was hesitating, she looked up and met Matthew's piercing eyes. He was staring fixedly at her, as though to signal her not to tell the truth.

"He panics now that someone's gonna expose him."

"Ha! He's got a lot more dirty secrets, I'm afraid."

"Who knows?" "How disgraceful."

These people were only too eager for Matthew to have a bad time. They hoped for the skeleton in his closet to be brought to light so that they could naturally oust him from his position.

Clutching the cell phone in her hand, Veronica tore her eyes away from Matthew. Then, she bypassed him and walked step by step toward Elizabeth.

All eyes were on her. Filled with anticipation, everyone watched as she walked step by step up to Elizabeth, only to stand before the latter for a long time without saying a word.

Elizabeth's chair was placed in front of the altar on which the memorial tablets were placed, whereas everyone else was standing in the hall, so none of them saw Veronica's facial expression.

Just then, however, they heard a cry. "Oh!"

Yura, the servant, and Veronica immediately stepped forward. "Old Mrs. Kings, are you alright?"

"Are you okay, Grandma?" cried Veronica. Then, she looked back and said, "Call the doctor! Grandma fainted!"

For a moment, there was pandemonium in the large memorial hall. The Kings Residence had a family doctor at first. However, as the year end was approaching, the doctor had gone home on leave, so there wasn't any doctor at the Kings Residence. Consequently, Matthew strode outside with Elizabeth in his arms.

Not seeing the outcome they desired, some people began to stir up trouble just then...

"Put my mother down, Matthew! We’ll take her to the hospital. You have to stay in the memorial hall to reflect on your mistakes!"

"Yeah, Joseph's right!"

"Heh, are you not gonna listen to us anymore now that you think you've grown up?"

"Put her down!"

They reprimanded Matthew in displeasure, but he ignored them and left right away.

Veronica was inwardly displeased as well. Moreover, she wasn't afraid of them at all. She looked back and gave them an angry glare. "We don't have time for this! Saving Grandma is the most important thing here! Can't you guys distinguish between what really matters and what doesn't? Hmph!" She berated them angrily. Then, she turned around and left haughtily.

Reprimanded by the young lady, the dozen people were startled at first before they flushed crimson with indignation.

"How impudent! Since when did an outsider have the right to point a finger at the Kings Family?"

"She thinks she's all that just because Mom favors her." "What a goddamn thing."
