Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Fight to Place a Bid

As Tiffany spoke, she opened the surveillance camera footage on her phone, and the screenshot that she took of it was exactly the first night when she had been kidnapped.

The footage was fast-forwarded and played at double the speed. The video clearly depicted Veronica sneaking into Tiffany’s house late at night. Soon after that, the second floor was lit up, and Tiffany came down from the second floor. That was the night of Xavier’s birthday.

Veronica had nearly been run down by a car that night too, so Xavier remembered it very clearly. It was that day that he had sent his men to kidnap Tiffany, but then Melissa had given different instructions to the men at short notice and instructed them to cause Tiffany to miscarry.

In the end, the men he sent had not done their jobs as instructed. They had been taken by Tiffany’s pretty looks and forced themselves on her, which resulted in all this today.

Xavier kept his eyes on Tiffany’s cell phone, and as he pondered over the situation, he realized that Tiffany had regarded Veronica as the mastermind behind the kidnapping and abuse encounter because Veronica had sneaked into Tiffany’s house to take action against Tiffany.

If he was in the same position, he would have jumped to the same conclusion as well. After all, Melissa had hardly been in contact with Tiffany, so it made sense for Tiffany to come to that conclusion. This woman’s merely a pretty face. How can she be regarded as a talented girl in Bloomstead? She’s just a bimbo. Well, she could be of value if I made good use of her.

“I’m happy to collaborate to handle Matthew but Veronica belongs to me!”

Before he had been injured by Veronica, he had treated her extremely well because she was the only one in this universe that he thought was sincere and unpretentious. He found that she was a good-hearted woman.

However, that day at the abandoned warehouse, when Veronica held a gun and shot him and Melissa without any hesitation before flinging a cheque for half a million at them, the perfect images he had had in his mind about Veronica had instantly dissipated and he was completely disillusioned.

He had done so much to save her, and he had even planned to start up a branch in her hometown.

As for the matter with Melissa, Xavier didn’t blame Veronica for it at all. However, he didn’t expect that Veronica would actually be so angered by Melissa’s actions to the point that Veronica had no qualms about shooting them with a gun.

Xavier had always regarded himself as a man who would do anything for his friends, but never, in his wildest imagination, would he have expected the woman he loved to behave as heartless and ruthless as Matthew.

For a split second, Tiffany hesitated, but ultimately, she smiled. “I can promise not to do anything to Veronica for the time being because of our common enemy.”

“It’s a deal.” Xavier lifted his brows and smiled sinisterly while affirming.

…

Naturally, Veronica was unaware of the scene that was going on in the parking lot outside.

However, as soon as she took a seat in the banquet hall, she saw Xavier walk in soon after, with Tiffany right next to him.

The incident with Tiffany had been exposed by the press previously, so her presence caused a slight uproar.

“Isn’t this the talented girl, Tiffany? The guy next to her… Is that Xavier?”

“Tsk, tsk. Xavier’s such a player. He’s always surrounded by different women.”

“Tiffany’s quite a conniving woman too. However, I do admire her for her courage to admit her mistake to the press. She’s daring in her ways, and I like that!”

“How can you be so sure that she wasn’t forced by Young Master Matthew to admit her mistake in front of the press?”

“Hah! Based on his usual way of handling things, if he knew about this from someone else, he would have sought her life. He would not allow her to continue to roam free in Bloomstead.”

“Hahaha! You’re quite right about that.”

“I have to say though, Tiffany’s very pretty. Nonetheless, compared to her younger sister, Veronica, she’s slightly less good-looking.”

…

The crowd continued to discuss amongst themselves about this incident, as the charity event hadn’t officially started.
