Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 699

Mother?

It was Veronica's first time hearing Crayson mentioning her mother. The fact that she was oblivious of her mother's name lent more reason to how ironic her life was.

Ever since she was young, she was aware that the Murphy couple were her adoptive parents. Then, she thought her biological parents were the Larson couple when she met them.

Now, she finally knew that her biological mother was the leader's daughter in the hidden clan. Unfortunately, she neither knew of her name as of today nor did she wish to know about it.

"Is that Veronica Murphy? She looks exactly like her mother."

One of them laughed. "She definitely takes after her mother. She's gorgeous!"

"She seems cheerful, but her attitude is kinda cold. They're totally the same."

"It's her first time here. I'm afraid she won't get used to the environment."

…

While they were gushing about Veronica, Mateo, who sat next to her, interpreted the whole conversation for her.

Since she had been deceived by her closest person, she had her guards on against everyone. She even questioned the validity of his interpretation in her head.

Grr…

Suddenly, her stomach began to rumble in protest as she was hungry. Most of the dishes were Western, but there was a plate of fried centipedes amongst them. The sheer sight of the exotic food made her stomach churn.
