Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

There were a lot of messages that popped up on the screen and she clicked on one of them. It turned

out to be from Xavier. ‘Where are you right now? Reply to the message as soon as you see it.’

Then, she clicked on another message and it was from Xavier too. ‘Darn it! Why didn’t you contact me

when you were in trouble?’

‘Answer the phone. Hurry up and answer the phone!

‘Missed call notification: You have a missed call from the number 170********* on 27 September 2021

Cody and the private investigator have been bribed by the Larsons. The Larson Family has destroyed all

of the evidence.’

‘Where the hell are you right now?’

‘Veronica, I’m really sorry but I have no other option. The Larsons threatened me with the safety of my

family. I’m very sorry.

In just a short moment, Veronica had received nearly thirty text messages on her cell phone. Some of

them were from Xavier and Cody. There were a few from the automated customer service, and even

some from Matthew too.

Veronica didn’t expect this and she instantly dialed Xavier’s number.

Beeeep —

The phone rang several times before the other party finally picked up the phone.

“Veronica? Is that you? Where are you right now?”

Xavier’s voice rang out from the other end and he agitatedly questioned her.

Veronica could clearly sense his concern and care for her despite them currently being miles apart. At

that moment, she felt a warm, fuzzy feeling well up within her. Instantly, she replied, “I’m back. I’m safe

and sound right now so don’t worry too much. Thank you, Xavier.”

All this while, Xavier had helped her so much and Veronica was sincerely grateful for

Meanwhile, Matthew, who was seated by her side, had a thunderous look on his face and his expression

was indeed quite terrifying.

This d*mned woman! Xavier didn‘t even do much, yet she expressed her thanks to him? I saved her life

but she didn‘t even show her sincerity by thanking me! Matthew was significantly displeased deep down.

“It’s great to know that you’re back. Was it… Matthew who rescued you?”

Xavier couldn’t quite contain the disappointment in his voice as he brought up Matthew’s name.

However, Veronica was oblivious to it and she nodded. “Yes. We just got back yesterday. What about

you? Where are you right now?”

“I… I’m still around Pierson Harbor because I was looking for you. I didn’t realize that you had gone

back. I’ll head back right away and I should be able to arrive in Bloomstead by tomorrow.”

Xavier remained silent after saying that. Subsequently, he mentioned to Veronica,

“Roni, it’s great that you’re safe and sound.”

Xavier had turned the place upside down looking for Veronica during the past ten days that she had been

missing. Despite his abilities, he was no match for Matthew’s capabilities, and Xavier was one step

behind in her rescue.

Besides feeling guilty, Xavier also did a lot of self-reflection and he realized that he was not capable

enough.

“Thanks, Xavier. Hurry up and get back. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

As soon as Veronica heard that he was still in Pierson Harbor, she couldn’t contain the sad feeling that

welled up within her.

In this large city of Bloomstead, Xavier and Elizabeth were the only ones who treated her kindly, so much

so that Veronica had no idea how to repay them.

“Sure, wait for me,” Xavier replied.

The two continued their conversation for a short while before hanging up the phone.

After Veronica hung up, she held the phone in her hands and dejectedly leaned against the car seat. Her

fingers brushed against the screen of her cell phone and she had her head down as she remained deep

in thought. Suddenly, she heaved a deep sigh.

“What’s up? Do you sympathize with him?”

Just then, Matthew, who was seated next to her, sensed that she seemed to be quite worried about

Xavier after getting into touch with him. In all honesty, Matthew was

quite displeased.

LEHET

Meanwhile, Veronica turned her head slightly to glance at him lazily. “What has that got to do with you?”

Whoever I show concern for is my own business!

“Have you forgotten your identity so soon?” he reminded her sternly.

At that point, Veronica realized that Matthew was talking about his identity as her godbrother.

Furthermore, Elizabeth had instructed him to take good care of her too.

“Were your language lessons taught by your physical education teacher? How can your comprehension

be so weak? Grandma told you to take care of me but she didn’t

ask you to restrict me in my daily life.”

Veronica coldly snorted while she continued to mumble under her breath, “Besides, this is my personal

matter.”

“I’m not interested in your personal matters but since you’re Grandma’s god granddaughter ,then you

should be able to differentiate between what you’re supposed to do and what not to. Don’t bring

disrepute to the Kingses.”

Matthew then leaned against his seat and closed his eyes.

“You…” Veronica sputtered, feeling utterly frustrated.

In response, she frowned and retorted, “I’m just maintaining my friendship with Xavier. Is that considered

to be bringing disrepute to the Kings Family?”

“Yes.”

“That’s bullsh*t!” She couldn’t quite control the profanity that came out of her mouth.

Just then, the man who was resting with his eyes shut suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at

an angry Veronica. It seemed that she was angered because he had stopped her from maintaining a

relationship with Xavier.

“Xavier has a bad reputation so you should stay away from him.”

“I will not!”

Veronica turned her body and looked at Matthew squarely in the eyes, her stunning, captivating face

flushed with anger. “Just because the Kingses are powerful and rich, my friendship with Xavier is

regarded as bringing disrepute to the family name. What about the business dealings between your

family and him, then? How would you regard that?!”

“Those are two separate matters.”
