Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 386

Veronica had been tailing Crayson for several blocks when her phone started ringing.

She took her phone out and saw that Yvonne was calling her.

After hesitating for a moment, Veronica decided to answer. "What is it?"

Ever since Yvonne chose Conrad, Veronica had stopped contacting her.

Yvonne had tried to contact her during Christmas break, but she had ignored all of Yvonne's texts and phone calls.

She was still tailing Crayson, so answering her phone was a good disguise.

"Veronica..."

Yvonne's voice sounded hoarse and stuffy over the phone.

Veronica frowned as her gut was telling her that Yvonne must have run into some trouble.

She still considered Yvonne her friend, and while she was disappointed by Yvonne's decisions when it came to Conrad, she did not hold it against her.

"Sob... save me... sob... Zac found out I'm pregnant and he's forcing me to get an abortion. Sob... please save me..."

Veronica's brain stalled. "You're saying that Zac..." She paused. "You should be calling Conrad at a time like this!

You're carrying his child!"

"Sob... I can't reach him. You're... you're the only one I know in Bloomstead," Yvonne wailed in sorrow.

"Where are you now?"

"Norfolk Hotel, Room 90... Ahh! Zac, what are you... Smack—"

Before Yvonne had even finished her sentence, there was a loud slap, and the call was cut off.

Veronica stopped walking and immediately gave Conrad a call.

After a short dialing tone, all she heard was, "Greetings. The person you are calling is currently unavailable." It was obvious that the call did go through, but the receiver had chosen to end the call.

Veronica tried again, but Conrad still did not pick up his phone.

"Damn it!" She fumed.

As she stared after Crayson's silhouette retreating into the distance, she made up her mind. She rushed over to catch a cab and headed straight to Norfolk Hotel.

Yvonne was a dummy who was blinded by love.

If it had not been for the fact that she and Matthew did not want to make their relationship public yet, she would have immediately asked him to save Yvonne.

At the same time, she was also worried that he might get dragged into this sorry mess if he helped her save Yvonne.

After mulling over all her choices, her best option was to head to Norfolk Hotel herself.

During the ride, Veronica searched online to find the number for Conrad's company's front desk, then gave them a call.

"Hello, this is Southcon Enterprise. May I know who's calling?" The receptionist greeted her respectfully.

"Hello. I wanted to ask if Uncle Conrad, oh, I mean President Kings is in the office. Old Mrs. Kings and I would like to drop by his office, but he didn't pick up his phone."

Veronica lied through her teeth.

When the receptionist heard that Elizabeth wanted to come over, she immediately replied, "Is he not picking up his phone? I just spoke to President Kings, so maybe he didn't hear the call earlier. You and Old Mrs. Kings can drop by anytime as he should be in the office the whole morning."

"Okay, thanks!”

Veronica ended the call. A notification popped up on her screen informing her that her audio recording file was saved.

Norfolk Hotel, Suite 906.
