Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

At that moment, Matthew stood before Veronica. Looking at her tender complexion and stunning face, as

well as her natural beauty that was utterly breathtaking, he continued to be flabbergasted.

It turned out that hidden under the dark complexion and freckled cheeks was an incomparably beautiful

face.

The reason Veronica had disguised herself in the first place was because of the Larson Family’s threat.

Since it was never her intention to hide her real face from Matthew, she was unfazed by his shock. With

a brow raised, she commented, “Whether you know it or not has nothing to do with me.”

As she spoke, she pulled out the other gun that was hidden behind her back and skillfully unloaded it

before placing them into the hands of the two mercenaries who had been taken down by Matthew’s

subordinates.

Meanwhile, Yvonne, who was finally free, rushed up to Veronica and hugged her. “I was so scared!

Veronica, you are such a righteous person.”

Yvonne hugged her tightly. It was only when she glanced to the side did she realize Matthew’s presence.

Dressed in a fitted suit, the muscular man was seen standing straight. His attire was immaculate and did

not have a single crease. Coupled with his well-defined features, he looked utterly dashing, as though he

had just walked out of a painting.

With one glance, anyone could tell from his unconcealable noble temperament that he was someone

with an extraordinary identity.

Yvonne let go of Veronica and exclaimed, “Your boyfriend loves you so much! He’s even able to find you

and come to your rescue despite the long distance.”

“Boyfriend?” Veronica turned around to look at Matthew, who was standing behind her. She noted his

freezing gaze, which caused her to feel the coldness that he emanated.

“You have misunderstood.” As she spoke, she walked up to Matthew’s side. Standing on her toes, she

raised her arm and draped it around his shoulders. “He’s my brother,” she announced.

As a person who knew her place, Veronica definitely wouldn’t think that Matthew had taken a liking to

her. She reckoned that the reason he had shown up here must have been due to Elizabeth’s insistence

that made him investigate her whereabouts. Therefore, he was able to come to her rescue.

This was similar to the day when the fire had occurred. He had rushed into the fire because Elizabeth

had accepted Veronica as her god-daughter. He had been worried that Elizabeth would be heartbroken if

Veronica had died, which was why he had come to her rescue that day.

When Matthew heard her introducing him as her brother, he became thunderous. He darted a cold

glance at the complacent woman beside him.

Although Veronica’s face currently looked totally different from how it had used to be, Matthew didn’t find

it awkward at all.

Perhaps it was because he had long been suspicious of Veronica’s relationship with the Larson Family

“Miss Murphy, Young Master Matthew is—”

Upon hearing Veronica’s words, Thomas naturally understood where she was coming from-she thought

that Matthew had come to look for her under Elizabeth’s order. Just as he was about to clarify the

situation, Matthew shot him a freezing look. The warning in his gaze frightened Thomas and caused him

to fall silent.

Veronica looked at Thomas and asked, “What’s wrong with Matthew?”

“He-” Thomas glanced at Matthew, thinking about what the latter had done when Veronica had been

missing in the past few days. Matthew had been on a business trip to Castron when they first found out

about her disappearance. He had finished all his tasks within a short period of five days and rushed back

to Destor. Then, he had been sending people to investigate Veronica’s whereabouts. When they had

finally found out about the docking location of the cruise ship, they immediately rushed over and

managed to rescue her on time.

However, never in a million years would Thomas have thought that underneath Veronica’s hideous face

was a stunning beauty.

“I-It’s nothing,” he muttered in the end, not daring to say any more.

Thereafter, Yvonne walked up to Matthew and bowed to him. “Although you are here to rescue your

sister, I have to thank you for saving me as well.”

Matthew still wore an impassive look on his handsome face. “There’s no need to thank me. I just

happened to save you.” With that, he turned on his heel to leave.

However, as Veronica still had an arm draped over his shoulder, he took down her arm and held her

hand before he moved forward with large strides. “Come with me.”

He wrapped his large, warm palm around her small, cool hand. The intimate skin-to skin contact allowed

Veronica to feel the sweat on his palm, but what she could feel more was…

“Let go of me, Matthew. I’m merely your godsister. You will make others misunderstand our relationship.”

Veronica then flung her hand around, attempting to free it.

However, no matter how hard she struggled and resisted, she couldn’t break free from Matthew’s grip.

The man paused in his tracks, darting a cold glance at her as he questioned, “What’s wrong? You were

able to shoot someone with a gun, yet you are afraid of something like this?”
