Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 943

"I'm fine." Veronica waved her hand and leaned against the car hood. With a tight frown, her snowy-white face was filled with worry and despair. "I've done all I can, but why did things turn out like this?"

"I know you've done your best, and Boss will surely understand." Lazlo comforted her. "But sometimes, plans go astray. Who would've thought the people at the secret research center would know about our arrival in advance?"

The pupils in her blurred eyes instantly contracted. "They found out in advance?"

"That's right. If they hadn't, how would they have set up an ambush and waited for the others to head straight into it?" Lazlo sighed helplessly.

"Ha… Hahaha." Veronica chuckled and then laughed hysterically at the clear blue sky. Even though there was a gentle breeze and clear weather, her emotions were still gloomy, as if a storm was coming.

Her sudden laugh scared Lazlo so much that he looked at her dazedly. "M-Miss Murphy, are you alright?"

"What?" She turned her head, shaking it and revealing her red eyes. "Nothing. What could be wrong?" It was nothing more than being betrayed by the person she had trusted since she was young. The person she regarded as family and decided to take care of until the end of his life had taught her how merciless humans could be and how hard it was to fathom a person's thoughts.

How did things come to this?

Veronica could not figure it out. "That's too much. Too vicious." She felt a sour feeling in her nose, and her eyes reddened as she smiled self-deprecatingly.

After coming up with such an intricate plan, she thought she could successfully save Matthew. Never would she anticipate that Crayson would leak her plan to Tanya and make them fall into her ambush just to stop them from saving Matthew. In regard to schemes, she was nothing compared to Crayson.

Meanwhile, Rory was baffled as he watched Veronica laughing like a mad woman. Then, she pushed Lazlo away before getting into the car and starting the engine. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, she violently reversed the car, disregarding the safety of over thirty people standing behind it.

Since Rory had blocked them at the narrowest turning section of the road, she had no way of escaping because the mountain was on the left while a steep slope was on the right. The only way she could return to where she came from was if she fearlessly drove down the slope.

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, she reversed the car a few feet and charged directly down the slope. The road was like rings around the mountain, so several asphalt roads were going around the body of the mountain. In other words, if she went down from here, there would be five to six roads below.

However, she could fall from one asphalt road to the one below if she accidentally tumbled or failed to break in time. Moreover, the steep slope would increase the car's impulse and cause her to roll down to the foot of the mountain.

Veronica's fearless action shocked everyone as they all felt worried for her.

"Miss Murphy?" Lazlo's pupils trembled while watching the car charging down the slope. He was so shocked that his heart was in his throat. Initially, he thought Veronica would back up the car and leave, but if she did that, she would have to push the three cars behind her while reversing. While thinking of that, he found that such a plan would not work because Rory and the others would have caught up to them in just a few seconds, which seemed silly. Who would have thought she would drive straight down the slope?

The road above and the one below had a six to seven hundred feet height difference, and the slope's angle was near seventy to eighty degrees. Not only that, but it also had huge boulders and obstacles. One accident could cause an unimaginable result.

However, Veronica had driven off, so everyone could do nothing but stand beside the fence and watch the Jeep charge down the slope.
