Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 61

However, Veronica had received a punch when she was in the car. It had been a heavy punch that had felt so painful that she couldn’t return to her senses even after a long time.

As Saint Hospital was located in a remote area, there weren’t many cars around. Hence, Veronica had had no choice but to get into Yvonne’s car when she happened to bump into her, to avoid being caught up by those people.

Truth was, Veronica had been afraid that the Larson Family would send people with guns to chase after her.

She probably would be lucky enough to avoid one or two gunshots but no matter how fast she was, she couldn’t possibly guarantee that she could avoid every single shot when she was surrounded by bullets.

Besides, during the night when the fire had happened, although she had hidden in the bathroom, she had deliberately let the fire burn her arm, the back of her foot and something she held rather dear—her long hair.

The bathroom was connected to the underground sewers. She could have escaped, but she had purposely waited for rescue so that she could escalate the issue.

Only when the matter was escalated would she get the chance to push the Larson Family into the limelight.

Nonetheless, Veronica had never expected Yvonne to be another ‘troublesome person’ as well; it was a pure miscalculation on her part.

When they exited the room, Veronica glanced around and thought that they might be at the storage area located at the bottom of the ship.

The two of them dashed to the end of the hallway and took a look at the floor plan posted on the staircase wall before Veronica brought Yvonne upstairs.

They managed to find their way into the employees’ changing room, and Veronica dragged Yvonne in and they changed into servants’ attire.

After that, Veronica went to the washroom and found some shampoo and soap. She washed her face repeatedly to remove the layer of dark-colored makeup that she had applied on her face, restoring her original fair complexion.

She exited the bathroom after a while and called out to Yvonne. “Let’s go.”

“Uh... W-Who are you?” Startled, Yvonne poked her head into the bathroom to take a glance inside before she asked, “Where’s Veronica?”

“Cut the crap. I’m Veronica. Let’s go,” Veronica impatiently explained.

“Oh, God. How can you be Veronica?! Veronica is so ugly but you are gorgeous.”

“It was all makeup.”

“Can makeup last for ten days?”

“I used special cosmetics products.”

“Oh, my! That’s amazing! Why did you purposely make yourself look so ugly? Who exactly are you?”

Yvonne turned to stare at Veronica, appraising her from all angles with an expectant look in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Veronica’s expression fell. She glared at Yvonne with her clear eyes. “Are you a child? Why do you have so many questions?”

“I-I was just too astonished.”

In the end, Yvonne couldn’t stifle the urge to touch Veronica’s face. It felt soft and tender, and her complexion was smooth and delicate. “Goodness, how did you maintain your complexion even after wearing makeup for ten days? You are actually more beautiful than me. That’s unbelievable.”

“Dig your eyes out if you don’t believe it!” Veronica snapped, which frightened Yvonne and shut her up.

And so, Veronica grabbed Yvonne by her collar and together they exited the room while pushing a dining cart.

As there weren’t any security cameras at that level, the duo managed to leave the room easily and threw away their own

clothes in different trash cans.

Veronica’s sudden change in her looks had given them the courage to even show up before the mercenaries. Just like that, Veronica managed to shield Yvonne and successfully avoid a few rounds of searches.

An hour later, the ship arrived at the port and came to a stop.
