Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 336

Because of Matthew's request, Elizabeth had to bear enormous pressure to keep the relationship between him and Veronica hidden from the public. At the thought of this, Veronica couldn't help blaming herself somewhat. "Shut up, you people! Don't you recognize these words?" she barked angrily and pointed at the words 'Quiet Please' on the wall while glowering at them.

Everyone looked back at once. Seeing Veronica standing at the door, they all looked at her with contempt and disdain.

"Ha! How domineering! Since when do you have the right to speak in the Kings Family?"

"Do you honestly think you can become a member of the Kings Family by beguiling Old Mrs. Kings?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"How ridiculous!"

These people taunted Veronica and gave her dirty looks while laughing sarcastically.

Veronica didn’t care a damn about their contemptuous gaze. She merely said frostily, "I'm the person who took Grandma to the hospital and had a ward arranged for her. I don't care what you guys are saying right now, but I'm calling the shots here today!" How can I let these people bully Grandma in my presence? What a joke!

These people were very displeased with Veronica’s sharp tongue, especially Roxanne, who wiggled her hips and walked up to her before putting out a fleshy hand to point at her forehead. "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to tell us what to do?"

"I repeat: this is the hospital, where you have to keep quiet. If there's anything you want to say, just wait until Grandma is discharged," Veronica insisted. After a brief pause, she continued, "If you want to stay around to look after Grandma, then stay around. If you're here to bother Grandma with the matter about Matthew, then I'm sorry, but you guys aren't needed here."

"Ho ho! You're quite something, huh?" Roxanne let out a snort as a ferocious smile appeared on her chubby face. "Do you really think you can become a member of the upper class by attaching yourself to Old Mrs. Kings? You're nothing but a yokel coming out of the backcountry. Look at the cheap clothes you're dressed in. Who are you trying to impress? Only Old Mrs. Kings likes you. You're getting too full of yourself."

"That's right! Sigh. Say, Roxanne, don't you see that your position in the family is being diminished? Even an outsider can boss you around now."

"Haha! Nicholas, someone is bullying your wife. Aren't you gonna do something about it?"

"Since when does an outsider have the right to point a finger at us? How outrageous."

"Sigh. What a misfortune for our family."

These people seized the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.

Elizabeth felt angry and helpless as she listened to her sons' and daughters-in-law's words. Above all else, however, she was disappointed. They were the dearest people to her, but the fact that they had all turned against her for the sake of interests struck a chill into her heart. Not in the mood to speak, she turned to look out of the window.
