Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 748

Veronica was still in the tea shop. She leaned on the back of her chair and looked outside the window silently. It was not the time to leave, for she was waiting for someone.

"Since you're here, I figured I should tell you that Xavier and his team are going to arrive tomorrow." Hendrey told her what he knew.

"I assume Zac will be here too?"

Since Xavier would be coming, then so would Antheena. Zac had been eyeing the hidden clan's resources for a long time, and Veronica believed he would come as well.

"Yes, along with Troy," he answered.

"Things are gonna get rowdy." A smile curled her lips, and she chuckled. "You killed Matthew last time, so who's gonna die this time? Me?" She slowly turned around and stared at Hendrey.

He had no idea how to answer that question, and his face fell. His eyes glinted with guilt, and he hung his head low. The cup of tea in his hand was the only thing assuaging his guilt. "I still hope you'll work with Tanya. At least she can keep you safe."

"Or it could be wishful thinking on your side."

Then someone kicked the door open.

It slammed into the wall, stirring up a gust of wind. Veronica and Hendrey looked at the door, and it was none other than Mateo standing outside. He directed his fierce glare at Hendrey. "You shouldn't have taken her away."

It was unusual to see the soft-spoken Mateo so enraged. At least Veronica had never seen him act so angry. He's interesting.
