Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74

“Bro, you should also address me as your dear sister.” There was a slight smile on her flawless face.

Just then, Matthew’s eyes met hers. “Are you even worthy of that?”

“Well, regardless of whether I’m worthy or not, I’m now Grandma’s god granddaughter and your sister. There’s no difference as to whether you admit it or not. Don’t you think so, brother?”

Their eyes met each others’ and although both appeared to be smiling happily, in actual fact, they were secretly having it out and neither of them wanted to give in to the other.

Matthew wasn’t tolerant of others’ flaws. Moreover, it was related to Elizabeth-the person he respected the most-so his attitude toward Veronica took a complete turn the moment he realized that she had used Elizabeth.

“Life and death are no different too. That’s because…”

He paused for a moment before caressing her chin with his index finger. Then, he calmly mentioned word by word, “It’s all within a flick of a finger.”

“Tsk! I’m really scared of your threats, darling brother!”

Veronica frowned and she purposely showed a frightened expression before suddenly bursting into laughter.

She lifted her head to look up at him. She continued to smile but shortly after that, her smile dissipated bit by bit and her expression turned cold. “As long as your grandmother is around, you’ll spare my life for the sake of her happiness. Come to think of it, you’re such a filial grandson.”

Just then, Veronica made a thumbs-up gesture at him.

“Bro, I do feel drained seeing you make so much effort to be a great fiance and a filial grandson at the same time.”

She lifted her hand to push his hand aside and before poking him on the chest with her slender finger. “Good luck to you!”

With that, Veronica smiled meaningfu

nd turned around to leave.

Meanwhile, Matthew remained stuck in his original position and it took him quite some time before he shifted his body. He glanced at the woman who had already walked off and his dark brows became furrowed. At the same time, he had mixed emotions.

To her, I’m actually such a despicable and scheming person?! Matthew thought to himself, but he didn’t realize that he also regarded her as a scheming woman similarly because she had made use of Elizabeth.

That was also the reason for his change in attitude toward Veronica.

Just then, she went back into the living room and sat down to chat and make small talk with Elizabeth.

One hour later, Floch, Rachel and Tiffany turned up at the Kings Residence.

The couple came bearing gifts and they fawningly greeted Elizabeth as soon as they saw her. “Old Mrs. Kings, how are you feeling? Are you fully recovered?”

“Floch and I are here to visit you and we’ve brought you some supplements.”

The duo handed over the supplements to the servants as they spoke.

Elizabeth glanced at them and there was a flash of annoyance across her face, but she maintained a calm front. “You shouldn’t have. There’s no need to be so courteous.”

The three of them exchanged polite pleasantries while Veronica sat on the couch. Just then, she calmly glanced at Floch and Rachel.

Ever since they had asked for 2 million from her previously, this was the second time that they came into contact with each other.

She looked at the two of them looking like lap dogs wagging their tails in front of Elizabeth, and she felt a rush of contentment.

“Ah! You… You’re… Veronica, aren’t you?”
