Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

After the woman had left, Matthew asked Elizabeth, “Why did you ask her to tag along?”

Elizabeth let out a sigh and explained, “Sigh, you are not getting any younger, so how could you not have a woman by your side to take care of you? After all, she’s your fiancée; you should start getting used to having her by your side.”

She darted a look at him and continued with a hint of mockery in her tone, “You were the one who wanted to be engaged with her in the first place. What’s wrong? Are you regretting your decision?”

At first, Elizabeth tried everything she could to bring about the engagement between Matthew and Veronica, but he was unexpectedly stubborn to the point where he refused to agree to it. However, what puzzled Elizabeth even more was his current ambiguous attitude toward Tiffany.

“No,” he responded with a cold expression, a deadpan look on his handsome face.

“That’s a relief.” She waved her hand. “The matter in Castron is pertinent, so you should quickly pack up and head over.”

Matthew remained silent. He retracted his gaze and left the ward before giving

Thomas a call.

Thomas’ phone rang for a while before he answered, “Young Master Matthew, what’s the matter?”

“You have to ensure Veronica’s safety for the entire duration I’m at Castron,” Matthew instructed over the call.

On the other end of the line, Thomas fell silent for an instant before he responded with a question, “Sir, don’t you think that you’re paying too much attention to Miss Murphy?”

As Matthew’s personal assistant, it was his responsibility and obligation to constantly remind Matthew to be on top of things. “You have once said that you will focus on your career and you don’t wish for anyone to become a weakness that would threaten your performance.”

Thomas knew Matthew better than anyone else as he had been following Matthew for more than ten years.

He suddenly slammed the table in rage.

Upon hearing the sudden news, Tiffany was overwhelmed by mixed feelings that consisted of mostly fear.

She was afraid that the incident would be exposed in which Matthew would discover the truth. If that were to happen, it would destroy her reputation and taint the image that she had established for over twenty years!

At that thought, a hint of murderous intent flashed across her eyes. Rage started to grow inside her as she growled through gritted teeth, “I’ve said that she will become the Larson Family’s greatest threat if she continues to live. You two have harmed her adoptive parents, but you two have suddenly become merciful and want to spare her life by imprisoning her in a mental hospital for the rest of her life. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
