Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

But they really have gone too far in humiliating me, thought Veronica. “He’s not at home. Come back

later.” Rachel closed the gate right away, not wanting to waste her breath talking to Veronica. However,

Veronica seemed to have predicted that Rachel would do so; she pushed the gate open and went

inside before Rachel could close it. Rachel flew into a rage. “What are you doing, Veronica? Get out at

once!” “Who is it, Mom?” Tiffany happened to come downstairs. Upon seeing Veronica, she couldn’t

help feeling annoyed. “What are you doing here, Veronica? This is my home!” They’re my closest kin, yet they loathe me so much, thought Veronica. Her heart twinged, but she looked calm and

unperturbed. “Nothing. I just want to get my compensation for saving Young Master Matthew.” Her

words were met with Rachel’s ridicule. “What does that have to do with you? Tiffy’s the one who saved

him.” The one sitting before Rachel was also her biological daughter; but Rachel, who lived in the lap of

luxury, disliked Veronica, who was from the depths of the country. She couldn’t help feeling that this

country girl was rude, unreasonable, uncouth, and unpresentable. If the outsiders learn about Veronica’s existence, it might ruin Tiffy’s and my perfect image in the eyes of the public. Veronica

looked sidelong at Rachel before turning to look at Tiffany with a laugh. “You two have proved yourself

to be mother and daughter. Both of you can lie without turning a hair. You two are really as bold as

brass, I’m afraid.” “Shut the f*ck up, Veronica!” Tiffany chided. As she really didn’t want to see Veronica,

she said to Rachel, “Mom, she’s here for money. Just give her 50,000 and tell her to get out as soon as

possible.” “Yeah, you’re right, Tiffy.” Rachel nodded. “I’ll go upstairs and get her the cash right away.”

However, Veronica said shockingly, “Since the Larsons have lots of money, give me the 100 million that

I deserve for saving Young Master Matthew’s life so that we won’t owe each other anything anymore.”

“Don’t be too insatiable, Veronica!” Tiffany glared at her. “We’ll only give you 100,000 at most.” “We’ll

give you 100,000, but you have to leave Bloomstead at once after getting the money. As for the

Kingses, they’ll only acknowledge Tiffy as the one who saved Young Master Matthew’s life. Moreover,

you said you saved his life, but do you have any evidence of that?” Rachel asked. “You think I’ll have

no way to prove it after you all deleted the footage and stole the ring, huh? Don’t forget it was recorded

on the food delivery app that I had ridden past the intersection that day.” Veronica flashed the cell

phone in her hand. Then, she continued, “Well, the food delivery record can’t prove 100-percent that it

was me who saved Matthew’s life, but Tiffany didn’t even receive a food delivery order that day.

Wouldn’t Matthew get suspicious? Anyway, rather than getting myself in trouble without getting the

reward from him, I’d prefer to grant Tiffany’s wish.” In reality, Veronica didn’t deliver the takeout to the

customer that day, so she couldn’t prove that she had passed through the road. This was also why she

didn’t speak out and refute Tiffany when the latter lied in front of Matthew. In other words, the food

delivery app wasn’t sufficient as evidence, but it could be used to ‘scare’ the Larsons, who had a guilty

conscience. “How dare you!” Tiffany didn’t expect Veronica to have a card up her sleeve. Fearing that

Veronica might expose her lies in front of Matthew, she asked, “How much do you want?” “Since you

were the one who gave birth to me, Mrs. Larson, I’ll give you all a 90% discount. Give me 10 million.”

Rachel replied, “10 million? What nonsense are you talking about?” Tiffany said, “You really are insane,

Veronica!” The mother and daughter couldn’t bow to Veronica’s threats, of course. How dare someone from the depths of the country demand such an exorbitant price? Without wasting her breath, Veronica

stood up and pretended to leave. “Since you two don’t agree to it, I’ll go to Old Mrs. Kings. She’s the

Kings Family’s matriarch, so she’ll give the final word.” Tiffany had yet to figure out how Elizabeth got to

know Veronica or why she was so partial to the latter. Consequently, she couldn’t help feeling that

Veronica’s existence was a major threat to her. “Wait a minute,” she called out to Veronica. “Mom and I

have to discuss this with Dad, so wait here,” she said while taking Rachel’s hand. “Mom, let’s go

upstairs and call Dad.” With that, the mother and daughter went upstairs, whereas Veronica waited

downstairs. However, the Larsons were too despicable. Fearing that they might be discussing some

mean tricks upstairs, Veronica went upstairs worriedly. Dragon’s Creek Villa was an old villa that was

built some years ago, so its soundproofing wasn’t very good. Veronica could vaguely hear the

conversation between Tiffany and Rachel while standing at the door. She listened for a while, but she

didn’t hear anything like which dirty tricks they would be using against her or her adoptive parents from

their conversation. Inwardly, she couldn’t help mocking herself for being overcautious and somewhat

paranoid, and she got ready to go downstairs. Just then, however, she heard words like “adoptive

parents” and “car accident.” As she couldn’t make out the sentences clearly, she pressed her ear

against the door and listened carefully out of curiosity. “Veronica’s insatiable, and she’s the spitting

image of me. If we keep her around, she’ll become a threat to us. And besides, Old Mrs. Kings likes her

so much. How am I gonna get married to Matthew with her existence?” “That being said, Tiffy, we’ve

crippled her adoptive father in the car accident in order to force her to donate her bone marrow to your

brother. Don’t tell me you’re gonna lay a hand on her even?” “Are you stupid, Mom? As long as

Veronica’s alive, she’ll hinder me from marrying into the Kings Family! That’s unless… you can make

her a vegetable too!” As Tiffany spoke of this, her voice went up a few octaves all of a sudden; she got

somewhat anxious. Standing outside the door, Veronica heard every word Tiffany had said, which sent

a chill running down her spine. Still, she only felt her blood boiling. Over two months ago, Floch Larson

and Rachel suddenly showed up before Veronica, saying they could bring her back to the Larson

Family on condition that she donate her bone marrow to her leukemic younger brother. They had no

choice but to go to Veronica because Tiffany’s bone marrow didn’t match his. Naturally, Veronica

refused, which was why her adoptive parents suddenly had a car accident a month ago. After her

adoptive parents were hospitalized with grave injuries, Floch and Rachel showed up again, saying they

could treat her adoptive parents for free as long as she was willing to donate her bone marrow to the

Larson Family’s youngest son. At the time, Veronica was a little suspicious of the car accident, as well

as Floch and Rachel’s sudden appearance. But in the end, she thought that they wouldn’t go so far as

to resort to such cruel means as her biological parents. Alas… She was too naive. Breathing fire at

once, Veronica trembled all over with rage. She held onto the doorknob, wanting to burst into the room

and confront them.
