Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Ninety-Billion Balance

Now that everyone had agreed on the gameplay, Yvonne set up a group account and added Veronica into it. “Roni, you’ll have to add Young Master Xavier and President Kings into the group.”

Veronica had to be the one to add them, seeing as Yvonne did not have their contacts.

Left without a choice, Veronica did as she was told. By the time everyone had sent in their codes, Matthew, however, was the only one who had not done so.

How do I do this?

“Anytime now, President Kings,” Yvonne urged.

Matthew stared at his phone and scrolled through the various options on the platform, hoping that the link to send in his code would pop out and save him from embarrassment. He had never done this before, and Ruka was equally confused as she mumbled, “Matthew and I have no need for such apps, so…”

“You—” Ruka was close to snapping, but she held back to keep herself from ruining the atmosphere and said instead, “Could you help Matthew with it, then?”

“Fine.” Veronica sighed, then agreed reluctantly, “I guess I’ll do him the favor.”

The wedding banquet had set things off between Matthew and Xavier, who happened to be sitting side by side at the table. They were both businessmen who observed social etiquette, and they would not air their dirty laundry out in public. Besides, the Crawfords were the ones at fault. Having Xavier help Matthew now with the money pool app would only aggravate things, Veronica presumed.

As such, she leaned close to him and pointed at his phone. “See that ‘My Account’ button over there? Tap it.’

The sudden proximity made Matthew hyper-aware of her familiar scent. It hit him like a ton of bricks which instantly transported him to two months ago, when things were not quite as tense between them.

His heart raced at the thought of this. He swallowed, and an odd, imperceptible look flashed across his features.

“Are you even listening to me?” Veronica barked. He was so overwhelmed by how close she was to him that he was almost in a trance.

Almost immediately, he snapped out of his daze and clicked into ‘My Account’.

Veronica then went on to explain, “Right, then tap on the ‘Pay’ button over there.”

He did not say anything, but he obediently followed her instructions.

Veronica was staring at his phone screen, but just as she was about to guide him on finding the code, she noticed the balance displayed in the app. There was a long series of numbers, and once she realized how much there was in his bank account, she began to count the zeroes. Tens, hundreds, thousands… ten millions, one hundred million, a billion, ten billion! Holy crap, this guy has ninety billion in his bank account!

The corner of her mouth twitched like she was about to get a stroke just from looking at the numbers. As it turned out, there truly was no wallet limit when it came to cash apps like these.

“What do I do next?” Matthew asked when he did not get a response from her.

She blinked out of her reverie and said weakly, “J-Just click into the ‘Receive and Transfer’ button. Wait, is there a cap for the bet?”

It was only then that she remembered she was playing poker against the big wigs of the business circle.

Matthew, for example, was the richest man of Bloomstead, and he was quite possibly the richest man in the country as well; Xavier, on the other hand, was the young master of the affluent Crawford Family; lastly, although her background was vague, Yvonne likely had a net worth of over ten billion.

Am I just making a fool out of myself right now? Veronica asked herself as she re-evaluated the amount of money she had in her bank account.

Just then, she heard Xavier say, “I’m fine with any betting amount.”

This was followed by a casual chime by Yvonne, “Whatever limit you think is fine, I guess.”

“You call the shots,” Matthew added unhelpfully.

She pursed her lips, rendered speechless by how agreeable they were. Damn it, guys, just because you’re fine with anything, it doesn’t mean I have money to spare!
