Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Yvonne’s Secret

“Didn’t you say you wanted to treat me to a meal? It just so happens that I’m hungry right now.”

Veronica sat down unreservedly at the spot where the trio were just now.

Turning around, Yvonne waved toward a waiter.

After ordering two set lunches and coffee, they waited for their meals to be served quietly.

“Why did you approach me?”

Veronica leaned on the chair and stared at Yvonne with a cold gaze.

Her gaze pressured Yvonne as she pursed her lips and did not know how to answer Veronica.

At that moment, the waiter served their coffee.

“Hello, here’s your coffee.”

The appearance of the waiter gave Yvonne a bit of a breather as she kept thinking of how she should reply to Veronica.

“A-Actually…”

She said stutteringly, “I was at the wedding too, but I didn’t greet you because I saw just how busy you were. It was only after I saw the video that I…”

“Get to the point!”

Veronica slammed her desk and looked very menacing.

“The point? Oh, you mean those mercenaries?”

Tilting her head, Yvonne scratched her head before taking a sip of her coffee while looking at Veronica with eyes full of guilt.

She then continued hesitantly, “I grew up abroad. As my identity is a bit sensitive, I cannot tell you my origins. But, I can confirm that those people were about to kidnap me back to Castron, and the other mercenaries are my people. What I can tell you is that both teams were hired by my father, but one of them betrayed us.”

Her explanation only served to make Veronica more confused.

“It looks like your family is quite capable of arranging two teams of mercenaries for you. Now, I have two questions for you. First up, why did you save me? Secondly, you don’t seem to be short on money, but you still teamed up with Matthew to get close to me. Why?”

No wonder, after Yvonne and Matthew had a successful partnership, she immediately transferred five million to her account.

This was twice the amount that was previously agreed upon.

Back then, Veronica only thought that Yvonne was a kind person. Now, she only thought that she was harboring a lot of secrets.

“I saved you because you saved me once. This time it was me paying you back. Of course, I don’t lack money, but I was raised in such a way that I don’t ask for money from my parents. I want to create ‘Yves Cosmetics’ without relying on them. Besides, I wanted…”

Up to this point, she sighed and covered her face with a helpless expression.

Her mannerisms did not make her seem like she was acting.

Frowning, Veronica asked, “And then?”

Bang!

Yvonne slammed the table all of a sudden. “And then? And then, if my company doesn’t meet the target they’ve set, I would be forced to marry the person they’ve chosen! It’s some guy that I don’t even like! This is all so frustrating!”

Veronica’s question seemed to have hit a sore spot, as she suddenly lashed out like an angry cat.

Observing Yvonne, Veronica kept her gaze on her eyes as she wanted to see if there was anything out of place.

In the end, she could not determine if Yvonne was too good at acting or that she was actually telling the truth.

Veronica dared not come to a conclusion so quickly.

Upon seeing that Veronica was not speaking anymore, she grew even more annoyed. “Do you still not believe me?”

Enraged, Yvonne took her phone out before opening WhatsApp and slammed it on the table. “Here, take a look for yourself!”
