Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Meanwhile, Veronica’s expression fell. She glared at Yvonne with her clear eyes. “Are you a child? Why

do you have so many questions?”

“I-I was just too astonished.”

In the end, Yvonne couldn’t stifle the urge to touch Veronica’s face. It felt soft and tender, and her

complexion was smooth and delicate. “Goodness, how did you maintain your complexion even after

wearing makeup for ten days? You are actually more beautiful than me. That’s unbelievable.”

“Dig your eyes out if you don’t believe it!” Veronica snapped, which frightened Yvonne and shut her up.

And so, Veronica grabbed Yvonne by her collar and together they exited the room while pushing a dining

cart.

As there weren’t any security cameras at that level, the duo managed to leave the room easily and threw

away their own clothes in different trash cans.

Veronica’s sudden change in her looks had given them the courage to even show up before the

mercenaries. Just like that, Veronica managed to shield Yvonne and successfully avoid a few rounds of

searches.

An hour later, the ship arrived at the port and came to a stop.

Veronica and Yvonne had already changed into another set of clothing and the former even applied a

simple makeup on the latter. Then, they followed the crowd and alighted from the ship.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Thomas were standing at the dock where the cruise ship named Selvy was, to

observe every single person that alighted from the ship. The cruise ship had just arrived at Castron from

Destor.

“Young Master Matthew, there are 1,200 passengers on the Selvy and there are countless rooms in it. It

will be difficult to find Miss Murphy,” Thomas said with a heavy heart.

Meanwhile, Matthew, who was dressed in a suit, stood off at one side with a cigarette between his lips. “If

we can’t find her, we will board the ship and search for her room by room.”

“Yes, sir.” Thomas nodded, then instructed the men dressed in suits, who were standing in a line beside

him, “Keep a close eye on all of them. There cannot be any mistakes.”

The men nodded and spread out to carefully observe every single passenger that alighted from the

cruise ship.

At the same moment, Veronica and Yvonne alighted from the ship, and the former held an anxious

Yvonne by the hand. “Stay calm. Be careful not to expose ourselves.”

When they successfully got down from the ship, they were greeted by a few men in suits at the dock

No matter how calm Veronica was, Yvonne was still flustered. She was so scared that she started

running.

The moment she started running, she attracted the attention of the mercenaries, who were carefully

checking the passengers. They immediately went after her.

“What an idiot!” Veronica cursed. She wanted to ignore the other woman, but she couldn’t bring herself to

do so, so she went after her as well.

As her gaze was focused on Yvonne, she overlooked Matthew, who happened to brush past her.”

“Young Master Matthew, isn’t that Miss Larson? Why is she here?”

Veronica was barely two meters away when she ran past them, but not only Thomas took notice of her,

even Matthew caught sight of her.

“She’s not Tiffany.” Matthew’s expression turned dark, a slight frown between his straight brows on his

dashing face. He observed the woman from her back and the way she ran-it was way different from

Tiffany’s.

On the other hand, before Veronica managed to catch up with Yvonne, the latter was apprehended by a

few mercenaries.

Due to time constraints, the simple makeup wasn’t able to transform Yvonne’s face completely. After all,

extensive makeup that could transform one’s face into someone else’s would take a few hours, at the

very least.

Therefore, Yvonne’s identity was easily exposed.

Two mercenaries grabbed Yvonne, one of them then pointing a gun at her waist. Although the mercenary

had a piece of clothing draped over his wrist so that nobody could see what was underneath it, Veronica

knew very well what he was holding under that clothing

Otherwise, Yvonne wouldn’t just stand quietly without struggling and wait for them to apprehend her.

And so, the few men escorted Yvonne toward the ship. When they walked past Veronica, Yvonne bit her

lip and cast her a glance. However, she chose not to drag her into the situation, so they brushed past

Veronica just like that.

Standing off to one side, Veronica, who took in the entire scene, felt conflicted.

In the end, she still couldn’t bear to just stand there.

“Stop right there!” she shouted.

The few mercenaries paused in their tracks. They exchanged glances with one another before the four

men turned to look back at her.

Veronica was aware that the fact that they were able to enter and exit the ship freely must be due to their

special relationship with those on the ship. However, there were many passengers who were still

disembarking so if she enraged these men, they would definitely harm the innocents.

Hence, Veronica dared not call for external help-not until she had used up her last resort.

“Let go of Yvonne!” she yelled.

“Who the heck are you?” The mercenaries couldn’t recognize her.

“That’s not important, but you have to let go of her!” She glared at the two men coldly. Without wasting

any more time, she charged at them, then she lifted her foot and kicked at the man’s face.
