Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Ai the sight of the scene, Yvonne compressed her lips into a smile. “That‘s what I like about you. You‘re frank.” She picked up her handbag and took a check out of it. “Here‘s a check of 500,000. As long as you‘re able to help me ask Matthew out, this will be yours. If you can help me collaborate with the Spinfluence Group, I‘ll pay you another one million.” In total, the reward would be 1.5 million.

Veronica‘s eyes instantly shone with greed. She straightened up, asking, “Will you keep your word?” To think that someone is offering me money right when I‘m short of money! God is really smiling upon me, she thought. She had been guessing Yvonne‘s identity at first, but now it seemed that the latter was apparently not interested in her. Instead, Matthew was the one Yvonne was actually interested in. After all, with the Kingses‘ current social standing, many would scramble to collaborate with them.

“Of course!” Yvonne curled her lips into a smile.

Veronica darted a look at the check on the table. After some deliberation, though, she shook her head, saying, “With Honeycloud Cosmetics‘ current standing, as long as you guys collaborate with the Spinfluence Group, you‘ll no longer be a third–rate cosmetic brand that depends on social media to promote and sell your products as you currently are. Instead, you‘ll instantly join the ranks of the first–rate brands. So, I‘m afraid it‘s not sincere enough to offer such an amount of money.” She didn‘t know much about Honeycloud Cosmetics, but she knew that its products were most widely promoted on Instagram Stories. Furthermore, Honeycloud Cosmetics cared a lot about its brand image, and it kept countless buyers coming back for more by putting a great deal of effort into the quality of its products.

“Name your price then,” Yvonne replied without hesitation.

Veronica pondered for a moment. Then, she put out her left hand and held up three fingers.

“Deal,” Yvonne readily agreed without thinking.

“Can I go back on it? You agreed so readily.” Veronica suddenly regretted it a little. She couldn‘t help thinking that the three–million sum that she asked for was too little. Otherwise, why would Yvonne agree to her demand so readily? “I can promise you, but you must give my necklace back to me.” She didn‘t like wearing someone else‘s jewelry.

“Well… Okay. Sigh, you‘re so petty…” Yvonne muttered as she took off her necklace and gave it back to Veronica.

In the afiernoon, Veronica called Matthew on her initiative for the first time.

Sitting in his office, the man looked at the phone number displayed on his phone‘s screen. Even though the phone number wasn‘t on his phone‘s list of contacts, the familiar number had already been engraved in his mind. He answered the phone, saying, “What‘s up? Wanna come back already?” .

On this end of the line, Veronica thought for a moment while glancing hesitantly at Yvonne, who was sitting across from her. It‘s three million! It‘s all money. I‘ve got to reap every penny I could from Matthew, she thought. “Uh–huh.”

She didn‘t say anything, but she heard the man on the other end let out a chuckle. He asked, “Are you hungry? Let me treat you to lunch.”

“Alright. Let‘s meet up at Phil‘s Restaurant then.”

“Okay,” Matthew agreed without hesitation.

Veronica hung up while looking at Yvonne, who was sitting across from her, with a cheeky grin. “Don‘t you want to get to know Matthew? Pay me another one million, and I‘ll let you stay in Matthew‘s home. How about it?”

“In that case, what about 800,000?”

“That‘s too expensive.”

“700,000?”

“That‘s expensive.”

“What about 500,000? 500,000 is my bottom price. It all depends on whether you cherish this opportunity or not. Who knows? Maybe you could establish a long–time business partnership with the Kings Family.”

“Hm, you have a point. Alright then, 500,000 it is,” Yvonne replied.

Veronica‘s lips curled into a meaningful smile as she lowered her head to drink coffee.

OC

An hour later, Veronica and Yvonne were sitting in Phil‘s Restaurant‘s private room while waiting silently.

Veronica turned a blind eye to this, though. “I‘m hungry, so let‘s order our meal. I‘m gonna eat whatever‘s the best and expensive.” F*ck, it pisses me off to think that this *sshole molested me yesterday.
