Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 She Picked the Best Man Ever

Matthew’s hands halted in their movements, and then he placed his cutlery away. Subsequently, he interlocked his fingers and looked at her seriously. “What do you want to know? When Crayson contacted me this morning, you already heard what he said.”

”I didn’t expect you to be in frequent communication with him.” “Both of you keep hiding things from me. So tell me, what was the reason you played their game and allowed them to kidnap you?” Veronica asked with pursed lips.

She always felt that the whole incident behind his abduction was riddled with oddities. Especially when it came to Troy. Thomas and Troy were both Matthew’s right-hand men. Matthew would undoubtedly not retain them by his side if they weren’t capable.

Matthew couldn’t help but laugh at her words. “You’re so smart. How should I deal with you?”

”Since you know that I’m smart, you should watch out. If you dare to plot against me in the future, you will be in trouble,” Veronica warned as she narrowed her eyes and graced him with a mischievous grin. ”Are you going to ‘punish’ me?”

He smirked. She was caught off guard when he made a dirty joke during the serious conversation. As Veronica glanced at Matthew in disbelief, she gaped at him before finally rebuking him, “You are shameless.”

Her response made him chuckle. ”I’m just teasing you.”

After he paused briefly and gave the whole situation some thought, he replied, “Since you have guessed it all, I’ll tell you what I was planning. I sneaked in to discover more clues for my investigation.”

“Which is?”

“There has always been someone discreetly investigating you, and he even placed several spies all around the place,” said Matthew as he shook his head. “This person is someone who has deep ties with the hidden clan, and his identity is highly obscure.”

“Crayson dispatched people from Castron to check the identity of the person behind the scenes, and the result pointed to Flake Denson. Although Flake is the leader of the Black Ace Mob, he is disabled and does not leave the castle during typical days.”

“In order to learn if Flake is truly disabled and to get a better understanding of him, I ventured into the castle.”

As he said that, he looked at Veronica and sighed regretfully. “Unfortunately, the person who has close ties with the hidden clan is not Flake.”

“If it wasn’t him, who is it?”

Veronica felt perplexed. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with a suspect, and she asked, “Why not investigate Hendrey Johnson? He raises the most red flags.”

Crayson began his investigation with him and later discovered Fleck along with his quest.

“It’s so problematic. Why don’t you just kidnap Hendrey and torture him to make him spill the truth?”

Now that they knew Tiffany’s identity yet decided to keep her, they were quite likely to allow her to replace Veronica,

The future was unpredictable, but it would undoubtedly be filled with various challenges before they could live in peace.

She had no idea whether her future would end in a hopeful tone or one filled with despair.

Veronica didn’t want Matthew to take the risk and follow her.

How could she drag him into this situation with a clear conscience when none of this had anything to do with him?

”Then, let’s return home in the afternoon and register for marriage there right away.” Matthew was aware that Veronica was acting in his own best interest.

“I don’t want to.” Veronica shook her head slowly, somewhat resisting the idea. “You’ve done more than enough for me, and I just want you to be safe for the rest of your life. But, if… if something were to happen to me, can you please look after my adoptive parents in my stead?”

“They are just ordinary people. Yet, despite how difficult it was for them, they raised me and cared for me.”

She was adopted because her adoptive mother was unable to bear children.

Her adoptive mother had given her the utmost attention and love as if Veronica were of her own blood.

She had always been brilliant. Besides, she had finally become aware of her true identity. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she was well aware that she lacked the influence and capability to protest or resist.

It would be no exaggeration to say that she was practically useless.

Because she had no options.

“Nonsense.”

Matthew lightly flicked her forehead. “You have slept with me, and now you belong to me. I’ll break your legs if you dare to flee.”

He spoke the most outrageous words in the gentlest tone.

It reached Veronica’s ears, but she felt melancholy instead.

What kind of luck did she have to nab such a great man?

Hmm, I did pick him up, didn’t I?

Back in those days when she was delivering food, she found this man in a car accident.

Was this what they said as ‘good karma?

“Hehehe, I’m just kidding.”

Veronica forced a smile. “But I’m really not in a hurry to get the certificate now. Let’s take care of everything before we actually discuss the matter. When everything is settled, we will get the marriage certificate, and then you’d give me the best wedding of the century, okay?”

She tried to prevent the matter of their marriage as much as possible.

The more she knew about how perilous their current situation was, the less she wanted to drag him into it.
