Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 515

As soon as Veronica’s words hit, the caller on the other end descended into a prolonged silence. Crayson was hesitant and he went through an inner turmoil for quite some time. Ultimately, he realized that he could noy keep the matter a secret forever.

"Your life is way more precious than anyone else. If Matthew ends up dead, then I can only say that he's a foolhardy person but lacks the influence." Veronica was stunned in place by Crayson's words.

My life is much more precious than anyone e Ise's?!

"Is that so?" She snorted derisively and asked, "I'm quite keen to find out what sort of family background I hail from to actually be worth Matthew sacrificing his life for?" Although Veronica's tone of voice was calm, her heart pounded frantically.

All this while, she had a niggling sense that there was something wrong with Crayson, but she had never thought to link things to herself. Right now, the truth was right in front of her, but she somehow felt uneasy.

"You're not Tony's daughter, but neither are you Floch's daughter." Crayson heaved a sigh and planned to reveal the truth to Veronica while still hesitant.

Finally, he exhaled a deep sigh and revealed the truth, "Have you heard of the hidden clan? You’re a descendant of them and because of various reasons, you were sent to live in Bloomstead after you were born. Matthew broke up with you in order to build up an influence for you in secret; the reason for that was so that once you rejoined the hidden clan in the future, he would be able to secretly help you."

"H-Hidden clan?" Veronica reeled from the information.

She had considered various possibilities in her mind, but never would she have expected that she was a descendant of a hidden clan.

Suddenly, she frowned. "If I’m a descendant of the hidden clan, then Tiffany should be the same too. Why am I the only one under your protection and why didn’t you protect her?" She was practically identical to Tiffany as they were twins.

The strange thing was that Crayson seemed to despise Tiffany very much.

"She's not a descendant of the hidden clan! She's not even your twin." "How can that be possible? We're identical!" "She's just a decoy. After you were born, your DNA sample was taken and she was cloned from you."

Since Crayson had decided to tell Veronica the truth, he did not have any intention to hide anything from her as he revealed Tiffany's identity to Veronica as well. Veronica leaned against the tree trunk and felt weak all over that she nearly slumped to the ground. Clone?! She had heard of that before, but she had always felt that it was something too far-fetched and unrelated to her. Unexpectedly, Tiffany was actually a clone!

Veronica lifted her hand and massaged the spot in between her brows as she tried to deal with her emotions. After quite some time, she finally recollected herself.

On the other end of the line, Crayson continued, "It looks like you've encountered Tiffany in Castron. You've got to be mindful of this and stay away from Floch and Rachel. Where are you right now? I'll send someone over to pick you up."

Look at how influential he is. Even if Crayson’s currently back home in a rural area, he's able to allocate people in Castron to protect me.

"Does Floch and the rest know everything?" Veronica tried hard to maintain her composure as she asked calmly.

"Yes."

"How about Hendrey? What sort of role does he play in all this?"

"There has always been a mysterious guy in Castron trying to find out your identity by running investigations secretly. Hendrey came because he wanted to probe about your true identity. However, he didn't betray you back then, so I spared his life. It looks like I was too wishy-washy and I left us a ticking time bomb there." He sighed. "Child, there are some things that I can't explain in just a few sentences. Hurry up and send me your location. I'll send someone over for you and take the earliest flight to Castron tomorrow morning."

This was his worst nightmare and yet it happened. Previously, when Veronica mentioned that she would be going to Castron, Crayson had been worried that she would encounter those people. However, he ended up convincing himself that nothing had happened back then when she visited Castron with Ruka. He thought that this trip would be a smooth one similarly, but the truth was ultimately revealed.

"Send me the contact details of your people and I'll contact them myself." Veronica recollected herself and continued to head toward the dense forest.

"Okay, sure," he responded solemnly and reminded her as well, "Remember my words and make sure to stay away from the Larsons."

"I got it." Veronica did not bother to ask further and hung up the phone on Cray son.

The Larsons clearly knew Tiffany's identity and yet they stood on her side, which was an indication that they were fully aware of everything. If Tiffany was just supposed to be a decoy, then the Larson Family should not have left Bloomstead without a word to head to Castron upon her supposed 'death'; that was proof enough that the Larsons had the intention to double-cross. The worst thing that could happen would be that they intended to support the decoy they created in the past and snatch the leader's position with the clone.
