Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 347

Back in the corridor earlier, Conrad must have told Yvonne something before she decided to remain on the phone with him. This was the only possibility that would make her touch the phone in her pocket so nervously.

"When I asked you out for lunch today, why was Xavier there too?" Veronica did not directly bring up Conrad's situation.

"Oh, Xavier and Conny happened to be with me today when you called, so I took them with me," Yvonne answered truthfully.

"Ha." Veronica smiled coldly. She leaned back and tilted her head before sending a cold stare at Yvonne. "Then, do you know what Xavier has done to me today?"

"Huh? What?" Yvonne inexplicably grew a little nervous, as if Veronica’s gaze was sharp enough to pierce through her.

With her burning eyes drilling into Yvonne, Veronica did not directly answer her question but asked instead, "Yvonne, tell me, do you think I should believe you?"

Her sudden sternness and aloof gaze made Yvonne feel uneasy, as if she

was sitting on a bed of needles. She pursed her lips and subconsciously hugged the pillow tightly with both arms while stammering, "We... We're good friends, so why can't you believe me? Hahaha, don't you... think so?"

"Yeah, I do." Veronica nodded and shifted her body to the side. Just as Yvonne avoided her sharp gaze and turned to look elsewhere, she quickly reached into Yvonne's pocket and took out her phone.

"Vero—" Yvonne exclaimed, but Veronica immediately stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and shook her head at her, motioning her to remain silent.

She looked down at Yvonne's phone and sure enough, it had been connected to a call for three minutes. Her red lips curled slightly as she gently placed the phone on the table without hanging up.

Trust my *ss! For a moment, Veronica would really like to not care about Yvonne anymore and leave her to fend for herself; at the same time, she felt that Yvonne was just a simple and righteous girl, so she could not bear to watch Yvonne fall into their trap.

She switched the call to speaker mode before releasing the hand that was covering Yvonne's mouth. She continued, "After you and Conrad left, Xavier confessed to me, but I did not accept him. Do you know why?"

The nerve-wrecked Yvonne swallowed carefully as she was terrified by both Veronica's intense energy and wit. How does she know that I am on a call with Conrad? Did she eavesdrop on us earlier?

"W-Why?"

"Well, this I have to start from what happened a month ago. At the Kingses' banquet that day, I went to the Kings Residence, but Matthew was not there. That night, I was drunk and Conrad sent me back, but I ended up falling unconscious. After that, he handed me over to Xavier, who took me to the hotel."

As her story reached this point, Veronica paused and raised her gaze slightly. She tilted her head as her dark unreadable eyes carried a hint of hostility. "Do you know what he did to me?"
