Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356 A Capricious Veronica

Conrad maintained his image as the nice guy that was ever gentle and considerate, as though nothing had happened before.

Veronica smiled in response to avoid putting Elizabeth in a tough position. “Oh, really? What were you guys talking about? Don’t tell me that you’ve spoken ill of me.”

Conrad laughed at her ‘joke’. “You’re right! Mom thought you wouldn’t come because you hadn’t come recently.”

Yvonne let out a wry smile, trying to hide her awkwardness.

“Roni, don’t listen to his nonsense.” Elizabeth grinned ear to ear.

Veronica seated herself beside Elizabeth after she placed the presents aside and began a light conversation. Then, suddenly, Veronica asked the old lady, “Grandma, do you know that Yvonne is pregnant?”

After Veronica bid Elizabeth farewell, she bumped into Conrad at the entrance. Their steps came to a halt simultaneously when they saw each other.

Conrad acted as gentlemanly as ever with a dazzling smile. “Are you leaving now, Little Roni?”

Rather than replying to his insincere words, she took a few steps forward in her heels and stood right before him with a frosty gaze. “Uncle Conrad, you never fail to surprise me. Just what kind of spell did you use on Yvonne so that she can’t get over you?”

He frowned, pretending to be in deep thought, and smiled. “Maybe it’s because of my charms.”

She snorted in reply. “Well, that is possible. I wonder if this brazen attitude runs in the family.”

In a split second, the smile on Conrad’s face went stiff, and the wind felt colder for some reason. Then, as silence dawned upon both parties, a malicious and fearsome glint flashed across his eyes, causing him to appear more intimidating. Nevertheless, he smiled again at the very next second. “Don’t put it that way. If so, do you mean that Matthew is shameless too?”

“That’s not wrong, but not entirely correct.” Veronica paused for a moment. “Although you share the same surname, you don’t share the same mother.”

When he heard her provocative remarks, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous slit, and Veronica could sense the murderous ferocity accosting her from all sides.

The man was infuriated.

“Are you angry because of what I’ve said? It seems like you’re not complete trash. You still have feelings, huh?” The dauntless Veronica added, “Let’s see how long you can pretend to like Yvonne. And I’m warning you that you better continue this act of yours for the rest of your life.”

She had encountered shameless people before, but they couldn’t hold a candle to Conrad.

“Veronica Murphy, don’t think that you can do whatever you want with Matthew backing you.” Conrad had finally lost his temper and shown his true colors.

“I’m sorry, but I think I have the right to do so with Matthew by my side. And what are you going to do about it? Huh?” She suddenly took a step backward, feigning fear while gasping, “Oh no! Are you going to kill me? I’m so scared.”

“Veronica Murphy, you!” Conrad, who was incensed by her annoying attitude, pointed at her. “Don’t think that you can get away from this. Matthew can’t protect you forever.”

“True.” Veronica clapped her hands approvingly. “It’s a shame that you didn’t become a promoter. You could’ve earned big with that slick tongue of yours.”

“You!” Her witty comeback left him speechless, and he could only glare at her. It wasn’t until he glanced behind her that he changed his expression to a gentle one.
