Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Furthermore, most of the items in the residence were preserved in their original style and design. Everything gave out a strong retro vibe. One would feel as if they had taken a step back into the past as they became immersed in the surroundings.

There was a door by the wall to the right of the large living room that led to the room next door.

Meanwhile, Matthew trailed after Elizabeth and entered the room. Subsequently, he shut the door after him.

Elizabeth stood in front of Matthew and lifted her head to look at him. “Did you hear that? Do you realize what sort of woman you’ve chosen?”

“Grandma, what are you trying to say?”

“What am I trying to say?! Did you hear Veronica’s words? The Larsons’ are despicable!”

“Grandma, can’t you tell that Veronica’s trying to use you?”

In regard to this, Matthew was quite sensitive about it and he was very displeased.

“I’m her grandmother, so how can it be considered as making use of me? Furthermore, I was the one who asked her about it!” Elizabeth retorted.

“She already knew that you had a stroke and can’t sustain any shock, yet she chose to tell you so much. Her motives are impure.”

He stood regally tall and his handsome features were full of coldness.

“That’s bullsh*t!” Elizabeth couldn’t help spewing profanity at that point. “Since when did telling the truth is equivalent to impure motives? I don’t care about anything else, but I’ll have you know that you’d better make sure you keep Tiffany under control; otherwise, don’t blame me for forbidding her from entering our home.”

Elizabeth didn’t force Matthew to annul the engagement because she took into account that he liked Tiffany. Also, the former was worried that the Kings Family’s reputation would be affected if they called off the engagement with the Larsons at this point.

After all, the Kingses were a major family, so any slight action would directly affect their company’s profits and further development.

Similarly, Matthew cared about this too, but he cared much more about Tiffany’s act of saving his life in the past.

The rumors out there were that Matthew was a cold and merciless guy but unbeknownst to everyone, he was an extremely loyal and grateful man.

“Alright, you can leave now. I need to make a phone call.” Elizabeth waved him off and walked to the couch in the room and took a seat.

Meanwhile, Matthew walked out of the room and shut the door behind him.

He strode into the living room and he coldly shot a look at Veronica, who was sitting on the couch, before grabbing her by the wrist. “Come with me.”

“What?” Veronica was startled by his sudden actions. However, it seemed within expectations too.

Matthew dragged her out of the living room and made his way to the pavilion in the little garden at the back. Subsequently, he turned his arm and held her against a pillar. He then grabbed her by the collar and growled in a low voice, “So, you’ve achieved your purpose, huh?”

His well-sculpted features accentuated his handsome face, and his expression clearly exuded coldness at the moment. Coupled with his ferocious expression, he looked as if he was about to devour her and it was quite terrifying indeed.

However, Veronica maintained a calm expression and smiled at him. “Matthew, why are you so angry all of a sudden? She’s my grandmother, so I told her about my troubles. Isn’t that reasonable?”

She blinked her clear eyes and there was a slight amusement in her gaze that looked quite annoying to him.

Indeed, she admitted that she had an ulterior motive for saying those words to Elizabeth earlier, but that didn’t mean that she had plotted the initial encounter with Elizabeth and to save Elizabeth’s life later on.

Just then, Matthew narrowed his eyes and reached out to hold Veronica’s chin up before moving closer to her. “Are you challenging me?”

In the end, Matthew had no other option but to get engaged with Tiffany, and forced Veronica to give up the child to Tiffany to raise. As such, she had miscarried because of this.
