Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 514

Veronica opened the door and alighted from the car before standing by the roadside.

She saw Antheena maneuver the steering wheel and perform a perfect drift before speeding off into the night.

Pulling the attention back to herself, Veronica found her phone ringing continuously in her pocket.

There was no phone signal inside the castle, so she had kept it switched off the entire time.

Only after she got out of the car did she finally switch on her phone, which prompted it to receive all the notifications and phone calls all at once.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Thomas.

"Miss Murphy, how's your phone active? Where are you?"

It was likely that he had set up a program on her phone that once the text message he sent was received by her, he would get a notification about that.

That was why Thomas called her

almost instantly.

"Antheena escorted me out of the castle safely," Veronica reported frankly.

"Is she by herself?"

"Yes."

"Where is she? We need to stop her and capture her. We will definitely be able to rescue Young Master Matthew with her as our hostage." Thomas started to plot.

In fact, Veronica had naturally thought of the same idea too. Although she was not a person with high ethics, she did not want to be an ungrateful one either. Antheena had just risked herself to send Veronica out and she was very grateful about that. If Veronica betrayed Antheena now and helped Thomas capture her, then Veronica would appear despicable.

"Hurry up and tell me! My brother's still in captivity inside and I don't even know his current status!"

One of the criteria of being Matthew's closest aide was to have a calm personality; at that moment, Thomas' emotions were getting out of control. After being reminded by him, Veronica instantly recalled the torment Troy had suffered. Finally, her rational self overcame her emotions. "I'll pin you the location."

After hanging up the phone, she instantly sent the location to Thomas and gave him Antheena's license plate number too.

Veronica had an eye for detail and she had memorized Antheena's plate number as soon as she entered the car. With the location provided by Veronica, Thomas merely had to lie in wait at the route leading back to the castle and he would be able to capture Antheena there.

As Veronica was leaving the street, she gave Skyler a call.

It was daytime in Bloomstead at the moment.

Initially, Skyler was quite perplexed to receive Veronica's call. "Gosh, Roni, it's not often that you would call—"

"I want Sasha's number."

"Sasha? Why would you need her phone number?"

"Cut the crap and just give it to me.

One more thing, top-up five hundred to my number," Veronica retorted exasperatedly and hung up.

Shortly after that, Skyler sent Sasha's phone number to Veronica. At the same time, she received a text message from her phone provider that her number had been credited with five hundred. With that, she called Sasha immediately.

Ring— Ring— Ring— The phone rang three times before Sasha finally answered, "Who’s on the line?"

"It's me, Veronica."

"W-Why are you calling me?" The phone call came unexpectedly and Sasha was surprised.
