Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

With the aim of stabilizing the company and the Kings Family’s century-old business, Matthew often found himself tied to a lot of things with very little freedom to decide.

Matthew’s archrival was his seventh uncle, the seventh eldest of the Kings Family, Conrad Kings.

Today was Matthew‘s wedding day, and Conrad had returned too.

The wedding would start at 11.00AM sharp. Veronica was busy running back and forth at the wedding venue. Because her face had a strong resemblance to Tiffany‘s, she wore a black mask the whole time to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, guests and friends had filled up the grand hall. They were watching the dance performance on stage.

Veronica looked at her watch and saw it was already 10.30AM. Thus, she held the walkie–talkie and announced, “It‘s 10.30AM. Emcee, please make the final preparation. Make sure that everything,”

Halfway through her sentence, Veronica suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder.

As soon as Veronica turned her head, she saw a man with a slicked back hairstyle and a short beard. He had pronounced facial features like the classic good looks of a model, especially with those pair of beautiful and mesmerizing azure eyes. With one glance, one could tell this man was biracial.

The man wore a gray suit with a black vest inside, topping his look with a necklace with a diamond–shaped Obsidian pendant around his neck.

“Are you Veronica?” the man asked as he put his hands in the pockets of his pants and stared at Veronica with his azure eyes.

Upon hearing that, Veronica frowned slightly, feeling quite surprised.

I‘m wearing a mask, and I have never met this man who‘s currently standing in front of me before. Yet, he could recognize me at a glance.

“Mr. Conrad, is there something you need help with?” Veronica asked.

“Oh, you recognize me?”

“You’re Conrad Kings, the seventh eldest of the Kings Family. Although I have never met you, I have heard much about you.”

If it was not because of the Kings Family, Veronica might not be able to recognize Conrad now. However, she had seen his photos before because Elizabeth constantly wanted to introduce

Conrad to her as her partner. And thus, she was no stranger to how he looked.

“Haha… I‘m honored to be remembered by such a beautiful lady like you.”

Conrad was born with a classical facial structure of a magazine–worthy model and a finely–tuned vocal chord. When he curled his lips into a smile, there was a slightly more irrepressible sinister charm added onto his handsome face.

Looking at Conrad, Veronica could not help but sigh. Are all male members of the Kings Family this handsome? That is one strong gene pool!

However, in Veronica‘s opinion, unlike the slightly sinister–looking Conrad, Matthew‘s handsomeness was considerably decent looking. Conrad was handsome, but he did not seem like someone with a good nature.

Out of courtesy, Veronica gently pulled her mask down and smiled. “Mr. Conrad, you‘re too kind. I wonder… Why are you looking for me?”

“Since you‘re the god–granddaughter of Old Mrs. Kings, just address me as Uncle Conrad,” Conrad said

Back then, Old Mr. Kings, Howard Kings, had an affair with a French woman when he was drunk and impregnated her. Later, that woman gave birth to Conrad. The age gap between Conrad and Matthew was only seven years, and thus that made Conrad the youngest among the elders.

Even though Veronica dared to be rash in front of Matthew, she did not dare to act recklessly in front of Conrad. So, she said politely, “Old Mrs. Kings was simply joking. You don‘t have to take it seriously, Mr. Conrad.”

As she spoke, Veronica looked at the time on her watch. “If there‘s nothing else, I‘ll get back to work.”

“Wait.”

Just as Veronica was about to leave, Conrad took something out of his pocket and handed it to her. “Here. It‘s a gift that Old Madam exhorted me repeatedly to prepare for you.”

“You mean Grandma?”

Since Conrad‘s mother was Howard‘s lover, he was somewhat discriminating against Elizabeth despite having a good relationship with her. Hence, just like everyone else, he addressed Elizabeth as Old Madam.

Refusing to accept such a valuable gift, Veronica shook her head. “Thank you, Mr. Conrad, for your kindness, but I can‘t accept this.” It‘s just too good to be true. Such kindness appeared out of thin air.

Besides the child conceived, the reason for Young Master Matthew to be willing to wed Tiffany was because everyone in the Kings Family thought she was the one who had rescued Young Master Matthew. Hence, in order to fulfill his promise, Young Master Matthew agreed to marry her. If the marriage was to be canceled now, then Veronica would definitely end up being the person he would marry.Business is as fierce as a war. When there‘s love, there‘s weakness. I do not wish Young Master Matthew to be taken advantage of one day, so it‘s best I hide the truth from him.
