Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Being Caught Red-Handed

Pouting, Veronica went to the first floor and leaned against the railing while looking down onto the ground floor. Although the luxurious villa did somewhat overwhelm her, it did not make her lose all sense of reason.

She frowned before glaring at Matthew. “Matthew, are you done yet? Don’t think that just because you’re Grandma’s grandson that I will bear with you again and again! I do admit that you’re very rich, but that doesn’t mean I would accept anything you give me. Do you think that you could persuade me to stay with you by using this fantasy-like castle? Too bad, but I’m not some spoiled princess, nor am I Cinderella!”

A sudden burst of rage welled up within Veronica. “I still haven’t held you accountable for the incident with the sleeping pills. But, I’m now giving you one last chance, so I hope you don’t push your luck!” Stating that, she then snorted and left.

Whether Matthew liked her or not, it was not a valid excuse for them to do the deed by using sleeping pills.

Yet, although Veronica had been cursing Matthew as a scumbag all this time, she had not realized that with her temper, if any other man had dared to drug her, she would make them pay no matter the cost.

She had only treated Matthew as an exception.

Maybe it was because he had given his first time to her, and he had never done this with another woman after that. Or maybe it was because she had always treated him differently.

It was just that she had never discovered these feelings herself.

“Stop right there!”

Matthew was pissed to the point where veins were popping from his forehead.

D*mn it. I thought that we had been through this.

Calling her out, he then pulled on her arm. “What will it take for you to finally believe me?”

Matthew was by no means a patient man, but he had asked Veronica this same question several times now, which was slowly driving him mad.

“Let go!”

Shaking him off, Veronica said, “Just staying away from me is the best way to prove yourself innocent.”

Matthew did not reply to her.

That was how the conversation ended.

Turning around, Veronica went downstairs and left.

For a woman who was not a gold digger, such a lavish homestead was nothing more than proof of how rich a person was, and it had nothing to do with her.

Out of options, Matthew also went down and watched Veronica get in her car and drive off before he took a deep breath and hit a pillar beside him.

This was the first time in his life that getting a person’s trust was so difficult.

It was as if Veronica’s first impression of him was the final verdict and that no amount of things he did later would change her thoughts of him.

…

After Veronica left the villa, she returned to the city center.

In the afternoon, she had rented an apartment meant for one nearby her company thanks to a property agency.

Since the place was already fully-furnished, she moved in on the same day.

One day, it was nearing mid-day as she went out to buy some necessities and ingredients at the supermarket.

After parking in the car park opposite of Walmart, Veronica was about to enter the supermarket when she saw a familiar silhouette.

Veronica, who was wearing sunglasses, was stunned as she took them off and found that the person was Yvonne.
