Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 686

"I have put on weight! I will turn into a pig if I continue eating."

Veronica had been controlling her weight without going overboard. She was already exercising to lose weight during confinement.

"Have you considered how a pig might feel when you say something like that?" Matthew teased in return.

She immediately burst out laughing before nagging him solemnly, "The fatter a pig is, the more popular it is. It is a lifelong thing for a woman to maintain her figure. Won't I be pitiful if you dump me for a young and beautiful wife one day because I no longer take care of my appearance?"

"Are you sure I am the one who would dump you and not the other way around?" Matthew took a sip of wine and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

Following Matthew's 'death', and in the order of succession, Veronica was the first in line to inherit all his properties. Matthew had nothing in his name now.

In the blink of an eye, Veronica had become the richest woman in Bloomstead.

Even she was surprised by the revelation when she was handling the various transfer procedures.

"I have been wondering about how confident you are to leave so much property under my name."

The two hadn't discussed it beforehand, and she had guessed the truth. Even though Matthew had faked his death, she knew that he didn't care about the property since he was willing to do so.

However, they weren't talking about anything less than a billion. It was a sum that totaled to trillions.

Veronica was as touched as she was glad to find such a great man after knowing how much he trusted her.

"I have always had faith in my taste." While he spoke, his clear eyes were burning passionately as he looked at the woman he loved.

"Thank you." Veronica was moved from the bottom of her heart. "Thank you for never leaving my side, Matt."

She couldn't believe how fortunate she was to have met him.

"I have always wondered what would I do if you weren't here. Do I really have to surrender to fate?"

If she hadn't gotten to know Matthew and he hadn't fallen in love with her, she would have been very passive and helpless when it came to matters regarding the hidden clan.

The only reason why Crayson and Destiny were obedient to Veronica was because she was the future head of the hidden clan.
