Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 938

Their original plan was to get rid of Matthew, but when they found out he was sent to the west zone secret research center, Crayson also realized Tanya's plan. Therefore, he stopped sending his men to deal with Matthew. If Matthew could stay away from Veronica and have his memories sealed, that would benefit him.

Veronica never expected this to be the result. She immediately searched Crayson's body and found his phone before facial-unlocking it, questioning, "Whom should I call to dispatch a portion of your men for my disposal?"

"Enzo Elrod," he answered.

Then, she found a contact number under that name but then decided to call Hayley instead.

Tut— Tut— Tut—

The phone rang a few times and was immediately answered, "Waylen?"

"It's me." Veronica directly spoke to her, "Crayson is with me. He promised to let me save Matthew and asked that you send over some highly-skilled personnel."

The other end stayed silent.

Knowing she did not have much time, Veronica added, "I know your plan. You guys intend to ignore this matter and just watch him die, but hear this!" She raised her voice and warned, "If I can't save Matt today, not only will I die, but I'll also bring Crayson with me! Once that happens, how are you going to reclaim the throne without me and Crayson, your most capable helpers? Hayley Elrod, I'd advise you to stop dreaming and not play any tricks with me."

"Hayley, just let her do whatever she wants." Crayson sighed and agreed.

After a moment's silence, Hayley replied, "Fine. I'll help you."

"Immediately send a group of highly-skilled personnel to the secret research center at the west zone. I'll be waiting for them there." With that, Veronica hung up and looked at the weak Crayson leaning against the couch with a frown. "I'm sorry, Master."

The old man looked at her but said nothing. No matter how rude she used to sound when addressing him by his name, her formality now only meant that their relationship had grown up apart and was no longer as affectionate as it used to be. What's past is past. There's nothing I can say anymore.

After taking away his phone and leaving the room, Veronica went next door. When she pushed the door open, Shirley and Skyler were waiting for her inside, after which they immediately inquired, "How was it?"

"Shirley, head downstairs and find a rope to tie Crayson up. Remember, don't let anyone near him, and don't give him any chance of escaping. He's full of tricks, so be careful with him. Nothing will happen to him if we don't give him any food or water for the day." Veronica added the last reminder as she was afraid Shirley might not be able to watch the trickster.

"Sure. Don't worry, Roni." With a firm nod, Shirley patted her chest as though she was highly confident. Since coming to the hidden clan, she kept thinking she was useless to them, but now that Veronica had assigned her a task, she was elated.

"Let's go." Veronica gestured to Skyler, who nodded before looking at Shirley and caressing her face. "Shir, take care of yourself and make sure to guard that old man next door. I'll be back soon."

"Alright." Shirley nodded before reassuring Veronica. "Roni, you can count on me."

Afterward, Veronica and Skyler went downstairs, while Shirley went with them to look for a rope to tie the old man up.
