Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 75

“There’s....”

Just as Floch tried to figure out a reply, Elizabeth suddenly pointed out, “At the very least, there should be a minimum of three to five million for it to be acceptable.”

“Three to five...?” Rachel froze and her tears halted all of a sudden. She turned back to glance at Elizabeth, but she didn’t dare to say a word despite her anger. On the contrary, she went along and nodded with an apologetic smile. “You’re right, Old Mrs. Kings. You’re quite right indeed.”

However, Floch didn’t pay much heed and he instantly lied through his teeth. “Yeah, I think so too. There is about three million in there. The money is compensation for the poor girl.”

He was quite the two-faced person and at that moment, he was utterly tempted to wring Veronica’s neck.

“You...”

Just then, Veronica lifted her hand to take the card and she was just about to say something when Elizabeth stood up abruptly and walked toward her. “Veronica, give the card to me and I’ll check the balance for you.”

Elizabeth was very insistent and she clearly showed that she was on Veronica’s side. The former’s action was an obvious indicator that she didn’t trust the Larson couple as she snubbed them directly.

Meanwhile, Veronica was stunned at first and soon after that, a wave of gratitude flooded her. Elizabeth is too kind to me! I must have been an exemplary human being in my past life to have been granted this encounter with her in this current life.

“Mr. Randall, call and check for the balance on this card.” Elizabeth handed over the card to her servant by the side and muttered, “We must be clear with matters that involve money. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if anything got mixed up.”

“Yes, of course. You’re definitely right!” Eloch hastily agreed but he couldn’t control himself from wiping off the beads of sweat on his forehead guiltily as he regretted his actions.

Meanwhile, the servant named Mr. Randall took the card from Elizabeth and walked off to find out the balance.

On the other end, Elizabeth took a seat by Veronica’s side and she lovingly held the girl’s hand. With a doting look, she asked, “Are you hungry? You’ve been running around the whole day.”

Elizabeth’s expression of concern was exactly like a loving grandmother doting on her granddaughter.

The Larsons were quite frantic about the card but as soon as they noticed the tender moment between Elizabeth and Veronica, there was a glint in their eyes as they exchanged looks with each other. This was the reason why Rachel had stopped Eloch in the past.

Previously, he had been prepared to get rid of Veronica, but Rachel had interjected and said that since Elizabeth doted on Veronica, then they should just directly announce Veronica’s identity to the public and bring her home. In the future, they would be able to make use of Veronica’s identity as Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter to foster closer ties with the Kingses.

After all, the Kings Family had an invincible presence in Bloomstead. If the Larsons managed to bring Veronica home, then her position as Elizabeth’s godgranddaughter and Tiffany’s position as Matthew’s fiancee would definitely elevate their positions in the social circle of Bloomstead. In the future, this would definitely bring about an abundance of business opportunities and wealth to the Larsons.

As soon as Floch heard Rachel’s analysis, he instantly clapped his hands with joy and agreed to it. Shortly after that, they announced Veronica’s identity to the press and publicly stated that they were going to bring her back home to compensate for her suffering.

“Old Mrs. Kings, the bank mentioned that this card has a balance of only fifty thousand.”

Just then, the servant walked over and handed the card to Elizabeth as he spoke.

“Alright, I understand.” In response, Elizabeth took the card from him. Although she was quite old, she looked utterly formidable when the expression on her wrinkled face darkened. She held the card and immediately flung it toward Floch. “There’s only fifty thousand in there! Is this your compensation?!”

“No! No! I’ve made a mistake. It’s a mistake. There used to be three million inside but I donated it to the Red Cross. I’ve been too forgetful and made a mistake.”
