Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 825

Crayson did not answer Veronica's question. Instead, he continued smoking his pipe while his gaze remained on Matthew as the latter walked upstairs.

His gaze made Veronica's heart skip a beat.

He can't have suspected Matthew's identity, can he?

"You've been working with Iron Pillar for quite some time now. How do you find him?" Crayson avoided her question and diverted his attention onto Matthew.

Feeling that something was amiss, Veronica replied, "Well, he's honest and kind. He's alright. Why do you ask?"

"Eleanor has been trying to get close to him lately. I don't know what she's playing at, so you'd better be on guard."

"Haha."

While letting out a snort, Veronica grabbed a teacup on the table and stood up. She then took a sip of tea before saying, "Based on your deduction, I think that you've underestimated Eleanor. If she wanted to start with Iron Pillar, she would have been too obvious—anyone can tell from her actions and words."

Although she wanted to say that Eleanor simply fancied Matthew, she could not bring herself to say so.

"Yeah."

Nodding in agreement, Crayson then shook his head. "Sigh. I was thinking about this too. In that case, why did she approach Iron Pillar? I don't think she wants to learn cooking from him, does she?"

"In any case, beware of Iron Pillar from now on. Don't leak any important information to him. That way, he won't be worth much to Eleanor," Veronica suggested. She then continued, "Let's observe things for now. Then, we'll handle any problems when they arise. We can't panic because of this."

"You have a point."

Crayson then took a drag from his pipe. As smoke came out from his nose and covered his wrinkled face, it made him look even more weathered.

With unknown thoughts in his head, Crayson frowned for a while before looking up. He said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Eleanor has invited you and Iron Pillar to a banquet at the palace tomorrow."
