Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 335

Ding! There was another chime of an incoming text message. It was a message from Matthew that read, 'Roni, the 100 million is my betrothal gift for you.'

Shocked, Veronica immediately said to Elizabeth, "Grandma, I gotta go outside to make a phone call."

"Just go." Elizabeth gave her an affable smile.

Only then did Veronica stand up and step out of the ward. Standing in the hallway, she gave Matthew a phone call. After he answered the phone, she immediately said, "What on earth are you doing, Matthew? I only want the reward you promised me back then, not you." He had promised to give her 100 million when she saved his life back then. When she bid for her necklace at the auction, Matthew had helped cover part of the amount, so there was still an amount of money that he hadn't paid her yet. Even though they were now dating, they should keep careful accounts.

"You risked your life to save me back then. I can only repay that favor by marrying you."

"On what grounds? Have you asked for my opinion on it?"

"Are you willing to marry me, then?"

"I... Nope."

"In that case, I can deign to adopt your last name upon marriage."

"In your dreams! Where's your sense of shame?"

"My sense of shame isn't valuable compared to marrying my wife."

"In that case, I don’t want the money anymore." The difference is just tens of millions, anyway. 100 million is already too much in the first place. I can't sell myself off just for a few ten million, right?

"The money has been transferred to your bank account, so it's too late to go back on it now." Matthew let out a chuckle. "And besides, you promised at the hospital that we could get married in secret after my three-month probation. What has been said can't be unsaid."

Veronica was rendered speechless. How could he be so shameless? She put her hand to her forehead. She seriously thought that she had carelessly agreed to his proposal to get married secretly because she had been bewitched by him. Would it be too late to go back on my word now? "Then let's wait until you pass the three-month probation. We've agreed on the rules; I don’t believe that you won't violate them." Recalling how crazy he had been over the past few days, she felt that he would definitely fail to restrain himself. What's been said cannot be unsaid, huh? Once he touches me by then, getting married in secret will be out of the question! Easy, Veronica, easy. I've got to calm down. How could I sell myself after being in a relationship for just a day? I must've been out of my mind.

"It's a deal." Matthew hung up the phone confidently before driving to Spinfluence Group's parking lot.

Due to the uproar caused by the incident about Matthew, Troy

immediately ordered the company's public relations department to deal with the matter with all their might. Not only that, but he contacted the few employees of the clothing store in the shopping mall, bribing them into denying the 'juicy’ incident that had happened between Matthew and Veronica in the fitting room in front of the reporters.

As for the kiss between Matthew and the 'man,' the man who rarely posted anything on Twitter finally posted the first tweet on his Twitter account. The tweet had no words, but it contained a photo—the photo of him kissing Veronica with his arms around her waist when they stepped out of the clothing store at the shopping mall. Since Veronica had disguised herself as a man, the photo showed him leaning forward and gently kissing the man with silvery gray hair in a domineering fashion.

The photo caused a great stir on the internet as soon as it was posted online.
