Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 71

Veronica shrugged and then she bowed deeply to Elizabeth. “Grandma, I’m very sorry for that.”

“Ha!It’s alright.”

Elizabeth’s reaction was totally beyond Veronica’s expectations. Meanwhile, Elizabeth was elated and she grabbed hold of Veronica before studying the latter as she circled her. “Gosh! I read on the news two days ago that you’re the Larsons’ daughter and I didn’t believe it then. I can’t believe that you’re actually the one. If I hadn’t gotten the preemptive information from the news, I would have definitely been shocked.”

“Grandma, aren’t you angry with me?”

Veronica had initially assumed that Elizabeth would be unhappy to see her reveal her actual look. However, Elizabeth wasn’t the least bit upset at all.

“Gosh, I’m more than happy for you! Why would I get angry?”

Just then, Elizabeth held Veronica’s hand tenderly. “Come to think of it, you look exactly like Tiffany. The only difference is the mole on your nose. Your eyes look bigger, and are more expressive and prettier than hers. You little brat! You’re so pretty, yet you disguise yourself as such an ugly-looking person!”

Just then, Elizabeth had so much to share with Veronica and the former conveniently overlooked Tiffany. Tiffany was significantly displeased about it, but she didn’t dare to reveal her displeasure.

“Veronica, where have you disappeared to lately? Do you know that Mom and I have been searching for you all this while?”

Tiffany, who was the best at putting on an act, stepped forward and grabbed Veronica into a tight hug. “I knew it! It’s no wonder that I felt a sense of familiarity when we first met. It’s obviously because you’re my younger sister. Did you know in advance about our relationship? Did you put on that ugly disguise because you didn’t want to come back home with me?”

The tears suddenly streamed down Tiffany’s face as she sobbed. Her ‘heartwrenching’ performance pained those who saw her.

Meanwhile, Veronica stood there with a stunned look as Tiffany hugged her. The former’s entire body was stiff and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The uncomfortable sensation she felt right now was utterly unbearable.

However, Veronica knew that her acting skills were as good as Tiffany’s, so she reached out to push Tiffany aside. The former contemptuously refused to continue this act with the latter, so she coldly mentioned, “Yes. I purposely put on a disguise to avoid going back home.”

As such, she managed to come up with a great excuse for her decision to put on a disguise.

Despite her strong urge to uncover the Larson Family’s true colors, she realized that Elizabeth had just recovered from a stroke not long ago and couldn’t sustain any shock. Hence, Veronica didn’t dare to reveal the truth.

Otherwise, if anything happened to Elizabeth from the shocking revelation,

Veronica was unable to suffer Matthew’s wrath.

By then, without Elizabeth’s protection, Veronica would definitely be in a precarious state.

Just then, Tiffany’s eyes were reddened and she swallowed. With trembling lips, she muttered, “Why? Do you know how much Mom missed you all of these years? She has been searching for you everywhere while you were gone these past few days.”

“No particular reason. I just didn’t like it. Is this a sufficient explanation?” Veronica harshly retorted, her expression cold.

Anxious to locate me? They’re just anxious to locate me so that they can get rid of me in the shortest time possible!

“Goodness, that’s enough. Tiffany, it’s great that Veronica’s been located, but she has been brought up by her adopted parents all this while so she would naturally be close to them. You can’t rush things.”

Elizabeth pulled Tiffany aside and advised, “Now that Veronica’s been located, you should quickly go back and inform your parents. It’s just nice too, because I’ve got some things to share with Veronica as well.”

It was obvious from Elizabeth’s words that it was time for Tiffany to leave.

With reddened eyes, Tiffany lifted a finger to wipe off the tears on her face.

Subsequently, she walked to stand in front of Matthew and said softly, “Matthew, thanks for helping to locate my younger sister.”
