Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 496

After Veronica ended her conversation with Yvonne, she placed the phone on the bedside. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, her phone rang again.

The person who called her this time was Shirley. Then, she received a call from Monica. After that, several partners of Vincere Games also called her and asked her about her condition.

Finally, she received a call from Miguel.

"Mr. Lynch?”

At first, Veronica deliberately teased Miguel because Matthew broke up with her. It was an act she purposely put up for Matthew.

However, she didn't feel the need to deliberately tease Miguel again now that she had discovered the truth.

"I saw all the news articles on the Internet. You—is your face okay?" Miguel was a little worried about Veronica.

"Nothing major. I'll be fine once the swelling subsides." Veronica replied nonchalantly.

As Miguel listened to the relaxed and joyous tone in her voice through the phone, he wondered whether she was just pretending to be calm and relaxed to prevent anyone from knowing how much she was truly suffering.

"I did ask you to work hard, but I never said you can put down your dignity to grasp this job opportunity," Miguel said sternly, his serious nature that rarely appeared showed in his tone.

He was probably highly opposed to Veronica's way of seeking a job.

"Dignity?"

Veronica carefully discerned the word as she curled the corners of her lips into a smile, then continued. "What is dignity when I have no job and therefore no source of income? I'm just trying to survive in our cruel society, that's all."

Although Veronica was acting this time, she actually felt firsthand what it meant to survive with little to no dignity when her adoptive parents were hospitalized in a car accident and needed money for medical and surgical expenses. Likewise, it was also at that time that she understood the meaning of dignity.

After she said those words, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

When she noticed Miguel's hesitance, Veronica said, "Miguel, I'm doing quite well. Thank you for your concern, but I'm sleepy. We’ll keep in touch again."

As soon as she said that, she directly hung up on Miguel.

Unexpectedly, the phone started to ring again just after seconds she put it down.

At this rate, she could feel her patience wearing thin.

She had expected the video to make the news headlines, and the only thing she wanted to do now was to avoid coming across this matter. She tried her best to restrain herself from reading the news and looking up at those gossip as well as unsightly comments.

Nevertheless, it gave her a headache after seeing these people call her repetitively, one after another.

"Hello?"

Just as she was about to answer yet another phone call, she realized that she hadn't checked who the caller was, so she brought the phone before her narrowed eyes and glanced at the caller ID. Hence, when she saw it was Larry, she answered the call with her eyes closed and said lazily, "Make it snappy. I'm trying to sleep here."

"Demoness, how can you still sleep at such a crucial hour? Don't tell me you haven't seen the news articles on the trending topics yet!" Larry was surprised.

"I saw," Veronica said rather impatiently, "But what else can I do even if I saw it? Since it's already making headlines, just let it be. I won’t lose anything anyway, and it doesn't impact me much. It's nothing but just another topic for those idlers to gossip about, that’s all."

She was exceptionally calm, and such eerie calmness she was displaying was entirely beyond Larry's expectations.

So, he scratched his nose as he carefully mulled over her words, then nodded firmly. "Your words do make sense."

Nevertheless, Larry's confused brain suddenly became functional again. "No, that doesn't sound right. I've heard about Matthew going against you, but with your capability, you don't have to abuse yourself for the sake of selling a car. You can always seek refuge with me as your last resort. Besides, Stephen also said he would connect you with his foreign friends and help you to get into the entertainment industry. How about that?"

"That won't be necessary."

Veronica declined his offer without hesitation. "I'm not that interested in the entertainment industry."
