Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

“I bet you won’t be able to do this to me.”

“Two.”

“Go ahead, then.”

“One!”

When Veronica finished the last count, she saw Yvonne staring at her intently while her eyes narrowed

slightly. Her hand holding the dagger retracted, and in a flash, she stabbed directly at Yvonne’s face.

The speed was staggering, but at the critical moment, Yvonne’s pupils shrank slightly. She suddenly

raised her hand, grabbed Veronica’s wrist with her hands, and clenched her fist with the other hand

before punching Veronica’s abdomen fiercely.

Veronica was initially in pain, which caused her to stagger back a few steps, but she soon regained her

footing.

Instead of being angry, she smiled. “You’re revealing your skills so quickly, eh?”

Just now, she deliberately attacked her in the face with a dagger. Normally, people would subconsciously

resist when they encountered extremely dangerous situations.

Veronica only wanted to give it a try, but she managed to reveal Yvonne’s skills.

To be able to catch a blade bare-handed in an instant meant that her ability should not be

underestimated, and her skills must be no less better than Veronica’s.

Yvonne realized that she was tricked, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Did what happened today have anything to do with you?”

Up till now, Veronica only felt that Yvonne’s identity was strange, but there was no evidence to prove that

what happened in the banquet hall today had anything to do with her.

So, she was just speculating.

“It had nothing to do with me.” Yvonne shook her head.

“Since it didn’t have anything to do with you, why did you save me? What is your purpose in approaching

me all this while?”

Though Veronica had no deep suspicion toward Yvonne before this, Yvonne’s reaction now had basically

explained everything.

It was just that up till now, Veronica still didn’t know why Yvonne tried to approach her so persistently.

Was it because of Matthew?

No—that would be impossible.

After all, she was the one who ruined Matthew’s wedding banquet. According to the video played at the

banquet, she allegedly kidnapped Tiffany and threatened to kill the child in her womb, which was said to

be her revenge on the Kings Family.

Now that she was the enemy of the Kings Family, Yvonne saving her right then would mean she was

making an enemy of the Kings as well.

Therefore, it could never be because of Matthew.

But if it wasn’t because of Matthew, then what could be the reason for this?

“What purpose? Would you believe me if I said that the first meeting was just an accident? I just felt you

were a good person, and so I saved you today. You have to believe me. I would never do anything to hurt

you—”

Thud! Halfway through Yvonne’s sentence, the dagger in Veronica’s hand flew at a terrifying speed. With

a thud, the dagger had sunk into the door frame beside her.

The strength and precision were astounding.

“Yvonne Spencer, I don’t care why you approached me, but from today onward, don’t appear in front of

me again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Veronica snorted coldly, walked past her, and left.

Right then, she couldn’t figure out if Yvonne’s words were true or false, but she felt even more terrified

the more she thought about it—it only sent chills down her spine.

If Yvonne’s words were true, who was secretly protecting her?

However, if her words were a lie, then what was the purpose of Yvonne approaching her?

With these thoughts in mind, Veronica left.

Yvonne, who was leaning against the car, looked back at Veronica’s back and sighed helplessly, at a loss

for what to do.

Veronica was walking from the suburbs to the city. She was in a complicated mood and called Xavier, but

no one answered.

She guessed that Xavier should be busy right around that time, so she decided to not continue calling

him.

After hesitating, she found Matthew’s phone number in the address book and dialed it.

“Beep, beep…”

The phone rang twice, but there was no answer as well.

All of a sudden, a black car braked and stopped beside her.

Veronica was stunned, and she turned her head to look at the car parked beside her, only to realize that

it was Matthew’s car.

The door opened, and sure enough, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

In a suit and leather shoes, he was all dressed up today. He looked blindingly handsome and charming.

It was just that on that handsome face of his was a gloomy look, which added a sense of coldness to

him.

She looked at him, and he looked at her.

The two locked eyes for a few seconds, then Matthew looked down at the phone in his hand, swiped the

screen with his thumb, and answered.

As he held the phone to his ear, he looked at the woman in front of him with complex and deep eyes

while his thin lips parted slightly. “What’s the matter?”

Veronica clutched the phone tightly—she never expected Matthew to answer.

She pursed her red lips lightly, hesitated, and said, “What happened today… If I said that I didn’t do it,

would you believe me?”

Veronica’s voice fell, but Matthew didn’t speak.

The two just stared at each other, two meters apart, while the autumn breeze ruffled the hair on their

foreheads, as if strumming each other’s heartstrings.

“Heh.” The woman sneered at her own remarks. “Why would you ever believe me? I am just being

delusional—”

“I believe you.”

With such tender words being uttered from his mouth, he once again displayed an endless amount of

doting care for her.

It was those two words that gave Veronica a heavy blow—she was so shocked that she was speechless

for a long time.

Did… Did he just say that he believes me?

“H-How could you possibly believe me? I am solely responsible for your wedding. What happened during

the wedding, and the video which clearly stated that I forced her to abort the child—you have every right

to believe that I did all that to avenge my child!”
