Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 501

Veronica finally saw Thomas after another half an hour.

After alighting from the car, she closed the door casually and asked Thomas, "How is Matt now?"

She was very concerned about Matthew's condition.

Thomas was aware that Matthew and Veronica had split up. Even though he thought the breakup was fishy, that did not mean that she was aware of it too.

Thomas was taken aback by her reaction at this precise moment.

"Miss Murphy, Young Master Matthew... He..." Thomas sighed before continuing, "I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting to pull you into this."

"What nonsense are you on about? I'm asking you about Matt's condition."

The incongruous conversation between them heightened Veronica's anxiety.

"He should be fine. According to my analysis, the enemy appears to be coming for you. It’s only the first day you've been in Castron and the enemy already knows you're here, that to me is absurd."

"Miss Murphy, it may be very dangerous to rescue Young Master Matthew. Are you sure you want to do this?" Thomas was concerned about the conspiracy.

"Do I look like I fear death?" she inquired with a cold face.

Though Thomas admired her calmness and ruthlessness...

However...

"You and Young Master Matthew are no longer together. I won't make you do anything that you don't want to," he added.

Veronica might have appeared calm on the outside, but her heart was racing because she was worried about Matthew. Her patience was nearly gone after listening to Thomas' ramble. "Are you done talking? Just hurry up. Which car should I bring?"

She returned her gaze to the three sedans parked on the side of the road, unsure which one to take to begin her journey.

However, she did not receive a response to her question for quite some time.

When Veronica turned around, she saw Thomas standing motionless as if he had suspicions of her. After all, the couple had just split up and her eagerness to help was questionable.

"Are you a moron? Matt and I—"

Only then did she realize she had addressed Matthew too intimately.

Then, she quickly changed her words. "Despite my breakup with Matthew, he's someone who has saved my life and Old Mrs. Kings values him very much. I also will not ignore the fact that he is my nominal brother."

For some reason, Thomas was

persuaded by her.

"Let's take this car." He pointed at a silver-gray sedan in the first row. Veronica then went straight to the passenger seat while he took the lead in getting into the driver's seat before heading to the destination.

"Young Master Matthew is taken to an old hideout, but you are only permitted to go there by yourself. I'm terrified that there will be a trap. Miss Murphy, please reconsider it."

Regardless of Veronica's decision to save Matthew or not, Thomas could understand both sides of her reasoning.

Frowning slightly, she leaned against the passenger seat and looked ahead while deep in thoughts.

Eventually, she asked, "Did Matthew offend anyone in Castron?"

"Young Master Matthew is a business mogul, so there will always be lurking enemies."

"No, that is not correct." Veronica analyzed, "If it is a business rival, they wouldn’t dare to kidnap him and they wouldn’t be aware of my relationship with Matthew either. It feels more like... an acquaintance's trick." "An acquaintance?" Thomas gave her words a thought, filtered through those who had previously met with Matthew, and shook his head. "There's no one suspicious."

"Thomas, please assist me in preparing something."

"What is it?"
