Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 512

At that moment, the bodyguard who left earlier returned and brought a syringe in his hand.

He walked toward the unconscious Troy, who had his head lolled back, and jabbed him viciously.

No one queried about the injection, but each of them clearly knew what was going on.

"For how long have you known Hendrey?" Veronica finally asked the question she had always been curious about.

Antheena responded, "I've known him for nearly seven years now."

Nearly seven years? That's exactly how long Hendrey had left Bloomstead and came to Castron for, so hedgot to know Antheena as soon as he arrived in Castron. Larry had also mentioned previously that Hendrey was on good terms with the royalty and his family background remained a mystery. Evidently, he was a fairly complex person.

If Veronica was not mistaken, Hendrey must be aware of the fact that Tiffany was alive.

"Miss Antheena, three minutes are up and you can start the interrogation process," the bodyguard reminded Antheena by the side as he threw cold water onto Troy.

Splash! The water went all over the place before the bright-red mix trickled onto the ground.

Antheena retreated with a look of disgust. "Hey. Why did President Kings and Veronica break up?"

"Jhm... I-I'm not too sure about that. 1 know that Sasha was hired by President Kings to stage a scene with him so that Miss Murphy would jump to the wrong conclusion and break up with him."

Forced into a dazed state, Troy spoke slowly and he was evidently not his logical self.

His answer did not come as a surprise to Veronica though as she had already guessed that bit.

The three of them shot meaningful looks at her and their intense stares made her feel uncomfortable.

She frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Matthew staged the breakup? Has he ever loved me then?"

Veronica turned the tide and took control of the situation as she gave out an oblivious air to the others.

"I-I think he still does." Troy's words undeniably gave Veronica a glimmer of hope, but she was also forced into a tough spot.

She could have pretended that she no longer had any connection with Matthew, but at this point, it was pointless denying things.

"But then, President Kings has no plans to marry you because he said that... you were not a good match for him," Troy added.

Troy's statement clearly stunned Veronica into oblivion. Can Troy's words be trusted?

"Ha. What a Peking player!" Veronica put on an angry act. "That b*stard should rot in hell! He wasted my time and toyed with my feelings! How dare he say that I'm not a good match!" She angrily kicked the heater by the side and upended it.

Meanwhile, Xavier and Hendrey exchanged looks with each other and they seemed to be communicating silently with each other.

Soon after that, Xavier walked toward Troy and asked, "So, are you guys the only ones assigned to rescue Matthew after he was abducted? How did you guys find out about this?"

"It was Miss Murphy... Miss Murphy revealed this information to us and provided the address to us, so I came over first to scout the area. Tonight, Thomas will bring more men to conduct the rescue operation."

The injection was indeed quite effective and Troy revealed everything unreservedly.

"How many men have you assigned to spy on my parents secretly? If Matthew ends up dead, will Thomas kill my parents?" Veronica put on an anxious expression as she moved forward to interrogate Troy.

He was quite weak from the torment he suffered and he tilted his head while expressing weakly, "Dead... Everyone will end up dead and go down with President Kings if he ends up dead."

"That's not fair! How can you do that? They were the ones who abducted Matthew, so what has that got to do with me? Why do my family members have to suffer?"

"Because Xavier was the one who abducted President Kings, but Hendrey was the one who concocted this plot. You used to be in a relationship with Hendrey, so you’re one of the suspects too. We would rather get it wrong than to let the perpetrator get away. We won't let any of you get away with this!" Troy spoke stiltedly.

From Veronica's brief exchange of words with Troy, she had obtained a definite answer and she realized that he had not completely lost his mind under the influence of the injection; he was merely putting on an act.
