Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Familiar with Elizabeth‘s condition, Mrs. Coleman abruptly interrupted the conversation as she knew that

it was best to prevent agitating Elizabeth for now.

She then approached Elizabeth and stood in front of her. “You have an acupuncture session with Dr.

Zane today, Old Mrs. Kings. Let‘s head there now as he is probably already waiting for us.”

As displeased as Elizabeth was, she knew the condition of her body. With that, she responded by giving

a nod, not forgetting to throw an angry glance at Matthew before she and Mrs. Coleman left the living

room. “There is no room for discussion,” she growled. “Don‘t you dare decide otherwise!”

After being left alone, Matthew stood there for a while before he finally left the building. Then, he headed

to the parking area of the residence and enjoyed the cool breeze which still carried traces of the autumn

season.

Following that, he took out a cigarette and leaned against the side of his car as he quietly puffed away.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Just then, the sound of his ringtone going off brought him back to reality.

He fished his phone out and looked at the familiar phone number being displayed on the screen.

His face remained impassive as he looked at Tiffany‘s caller ID, and instead of picking up the call, he

placed his phone on the roof of his car while he continued to. enjoy a smoke.

After taking in a deep breath, Matthew lightly blew wisps of thin smoke out from between his thin lips.

The smoke momentarily lingered around his gloomy face before it was brought away by the gentle

breeze blowing in his face.

Not long after, his phone started ringing again. However, it was a call from Thomas this time.

Seeing the caller ID displayed, he made a swipe on the screen of the phone to pick up the call. After

propping it next to his ear, he spoke, “What‘s the matter?”

“Young Master Matthew,” Thomas hesitantly greeted. “I just received a call from the club manager. He is

asking for your permission to give Miss Murphy a discount. She spent over a million at the bar,” he

explained.

Matthew only curtly asked, “Who was she with?”

“Xavier Crawford, sir.” Thomas knew better than to say anything unnecessary now.

Upon hearing that, Matthew asked in disbelief, “The two of them managed to spend over a million?‘

“Yes, sir. They ordered only the best alcohol. And they… they also picked Twilight Club‘s top host and

hostess to serve them,” Thomas stammered. Even through the phone, he could feel how much the news

he brought had dampened his boss‘ mood.

As Thomas had expected, Matthew‘s face had dropped and he looked devastatingly chilling as he

hummed, “Wonderful.”

Indeed, how ‘wonderful‘ it was for that damned woman to spend more than a million with Xavier at a

nightclub right after Matthew had given her 5 million just earlier today!

He still remembered the heartbroken look on her face when she had treated him to a breakfast that

amounted to a meager 3 dollars and 50 cents.

The difference in her treatment of him and Xavier couldn‘t be more obvious than this.

Well, if she wanted to play games–she would be just fine without his help!

Thinking about how Matthew had given Veronica 5 million under Yvonne‘s name, Thomas proposed,

“Young Master Matthew, should I tell the manager to give Ms. Murphy a 50 percent discount?” he asked

as he thought that Matthew wouldn‘t bother with the amount of money Veronica was to pay.

However, Matthew unexpectedly spat, “If she has such a great ability to drink, she should be able to

afford to pay up. We don‘t\give out discounts at the club without reason.”

His words were heavily laced with hints of jealousy as he spoke.

“Ah… Got it, sir.” Thomas had no choice but to obey. After he hung up the call with Matthew, he promptly

phoned the managed to convey Matthew‘s words to him.

The manager made his way to the counter after the phone call with Thomas, where he was greeted by a

gleeful Veronica. With her eyebrows raised and a confident smile on her face, she proudly asked, “He

voided my bill, huh? Or the most I have to pay is probably 10 percent of the sum.”

Considering the history they had, she was sure that Matthew would feel bad about taking her money.

Unfortunately, the manager could only let out an embarrassed laugh as he took in Veronica‘s confident

demeanor. “My apologies, Miss. According to Secretary Ritter, Young Master Matthew insisted that you

should pay up in full sum and that we are not allowed to give any discounts in our club.”

IT

“What did you say? That is impossible,” Veronica scoffed. She didn‘t believe the manager‘s words one

bit. “You most likely didn‘t tell him about the situation properly. Let me talk to him.”

Instead of arguing with Veronica, the manager merely encouraged her to do so. “Please, go ahead,” he

said, which then prompted her to take her phone out.

As Veronica was being on hold for a while, the call went unanswered after she had dialed his number.

Irked, she mumbled, “You big scumbag. How dare you ignore my call.” She then tried her luck again as

she made her way to a quieter location in the club.

This time, however, her call went through. “What?” came Matthew‘s voice.

“Matthew, do you know that the manager of Twilight Club had given your assistant a call?” she probed.

Certainly, the confusion was caused by Thomas not mentioning the call to Matthew.

Unexpectedly, Matthew was aware of the call and the favor Veronica was asking of him. “I was informed.

Thomas said that you spent a ridiculous amount at Twilight Club.”

“Aww come one, it is all because of the alcohol!” She giggled, a cherry smile plastered on her exquisite

face as she tried to flatter her way through. “I didn‘t know that the best alcohol here can get so

expensive. It is my fault for being young and dumb. Blame it on my ignorance.”

“You have to pay the price for being ignorant, then,” Matthew replied robotically. One would have to really

pay attention to catch the underlying displeasure behind his words.

“What price am I paying? Isn‘t Twilight Club your property? You are like a brother to me, and we usually

have a great relationship, don‘t we? Does it make sense for you to not give me a discount?” she rebuked
