Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 47

Veronica suddenly woke up out of sheer will.

Opening her eyes in a state of semiconsciousness, she discovered herself being dragged to a Toyota Corolla that was parked in the underground carpark.

“Hahaha, boss. After this deal is done, we’ll be living a good life from then on.”

“The Larsons have already informed us that if we silently get rid of her, there’ll be one million waiting for us as our payment.”

“Shut up and just do as you’re told. Work more, talk less.”

The two men merely allowed her arms to hang from their shoulders and it was in this posture that they carried her forward. This way, they could just tell people that she was drunk.

What shocked Veronica the most was that she found the two men’s voices to be extremely familiar, which she found to be Jameson and Rio after looking through a slit of her eyes.

The two of them were brothers who shared a history with her. Why are they doing this?

As Veronica squinted, she glanced at the quiet underground space and knew that she could totally escape under the circumstances.

However, in the end, she still closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious while she was carried into the car.

The car was being driven on the road after it had exited the underground parking lot.

Even with closed eyes, she intently listened to their conversation.

“Hey, bro, how should we kill her?”

“Eloch's orders were that we should do it so that no one could trace the matter back to us or them.” “I’m afraid this doesn’t seem that easy since they gave us such a high price to deal with her.”

“You fool. We’ll just have to set her apartment on fire after leaving her in it.”

As she listened to their words, it made her mock them in her heart. Rather than going through all this trouble, why not just create a simple car accident? After all, isn’t this the Larson Family’s specialty?

After half an hour, Veronica was brought back to her apartment.

The door to the living room was opened with a key of unknown origin by the brothers.

She was placed on the couch after they closed the door.

“What should we do now, bro?” Rio asked.

Jameson took out a pair of gloves from his pockets. “Wear these and don’t leave any evidence behind.”

While saying that, he took out two bottles of highly concentrated liquor and a bunch of cigarette butts. “Throw these cigarette butts into the trash bins in her bedroom and toilet.”

“Why?” “It’s obviously to create the impression that the fire was caused by her smoking in the house.”

“Oh, you’re so intelligent, bro. What if she wakes up in the middle of all this, though?”

“I have a sleeping agent that can be inhaled. This can eliminate the possibility of her waking up in the midst.”

Thinking that Veronica was still unconscious, the brothers started to arrange the scene meticulously.

One person was responsible for throwing the cigarette butts in each room’s trash can. On top of that, there was a cigarette pack that they used Veronica’s hand to crush a few times before carefully placing it at the predetermined spot.

The other person used a towel that was doused in the sleeping agent to cover both her nose and mouth for a whole thirty seconds before removing it.

After that, they lay her flat on the sofa. Her left hand, which was hanging from the couch, held the cigarette as they spilled the alcohol onto the carpet with the remaining alcohol in the bottle on the table.

“Bro, can a fire be created just like this?”

“The cigarette in her hand is already lit. Wait till it burns to the end; then, the sparks falling on the carpet will instantly start a fire.”

“Wow, you really are smart.”

After a brief conversation between the two, they then left the bedroom in a hurry.

The whole process from start to finish was within three minutes as they had done it with lightning speed.

Bang.

Hearing the living room close, Veronica slowly opened her eyes with a hint of iciness flashing across it.

Although their plan contained some flaws, all evidence would have been destroyed by the fire after.

As the brothers from the Dusk Family knew Veronica, they could lie about her being a compulsive smoker and even drank concentrated alcohol frequently.
