Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 858

"He claimed that your husband is dead. How could I agree to that?" Matthew spoke pridefully. "I've been holding it in, but I can no longer do it."

"What? Roni, is he really Matthew? He's not dead? So, the both of you have been together behind my back?" the furious Mateo exclaimed while pointing at both of them.

"Mateo, I'm sorry for not telling you the truth." She sighed and gently pursed her lips. "Matt's death was made up, and I'm sure that Mr. Crayson knew about it, but he didn't tell you. You can ask him about it."

If it wasn't for Mateo, who had slipped his tongue last night and disclosed some information, Veronica would have thought that Matthew's acting skills were good enough to fool Crayson. Little did they know that Crayson was so cunning and shrewd that he didn't speak of it, although he had found out about Matthew's identity.

Veronica guessed that Crayson had told Hayley about it but not Destiny. Given Destiny's hot temper, she would have denounced Matthew if she had known about it.

"Grandpa knew all this while?" Mateo was disheartened by the revelation, looking disappointed. "A-All of you are being too much!" With that, the furious Mateo turned around and left for Mountainside Gardens.

As Veronica looked at him leaving, she was in distress. "Is it a good idea to reveal your identity now?"

"It's time." Matthew placed his arm around her shoulder as he looked at Mateo before saying in a deep voice, "Didn't you ask me to come down with you to discuss Zac's incident? How are we going to prove Xavier's innocence if I don't speak out?" No one, including Zac, would believe their words if Matthew went to confront him as 'Iron Pillar'. However, it would be believable if Matthew said that he was the one who cut off Zac's arm after he exposed his identity.

Matthew's actions warmed Veronica's heart, but she was concerned at the same time. "If Zac knew that it was you, have you thought of a way to keep yourself safe?"

"Let's take one step at a time." Matthew tried not to overthink it.
