Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

“Useless fools!”

Matthew exclaimed coldly.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, someone knocked on his office door.

Looking up, Matthew landed his gaze on the person who came in, Conrad.

Standing up slowly, he said, “Uncle Conrad?”

Thomas turned around to see Conrad before he nodded and bowed. “Hello, Uncle Conrad. You guys

catch up first. I‘ll be going back to work now.”

he also followed Matthew and

Because of Matthew and Thomas‘ close relation greeted Conrad the same way.

Nodding, Conrad did not say a word as Thomas exited the office before closing the door.

Inside the office, one was standing while the other remained seated, with both of

them exchanging gazes of indiscernible depth.

“Unde, what is it?”

Matthew knew Conrad too well to know that he would not come visit him without a specific aim

He knew that Conrad, who came to him personally, did not just want to tour the company,

Today, Conrad had on a full suit and tie, looking like a mature gentleman.

Standing sideways, he then walked to the resting area by the side and sat on the sofa before speaking,

“About the incident at the wedding, what‘s your opinion on it?”

“Did Grandma want you to investigate?”

Matthew crossed his legs as he leaned against his office chair and crossed his fingers. Hitting the back

of his hands with his fingers rhythmically, he displayed a nonchalance that a dominating individual

possessed.

“Yesterday‘s incident concerned the family‘s dignity. As the madam of the family, Old Mrs. Kings would

definitely conduct a deep investigation.”

Conrad was of a mixed race descent.

In actuality, he was Howard‘s illegitimate child. However, after being picked up to live in Bloomstead, he

shared the same roof with Elizabeth for a long time. So, he naturally called her ‘mother‘ all this while.

Though in front of others, he was still used to referring to her as ‘Old Mrs. Kings‘.

“I can handle this by myself. You don‘t have to worry about it, Uncle.” Stating this, Matthew took out a

cigarette before holding it in his mouth and lighting it, slowly taking a drag in the process.

He was making it very clear that he did not wish for Conrad to interfere in this matter.

Who knew that Conrad only shrugged his shoulders helplessly and opened up his arms while smiling.

“Sadly, it‘s an order from Mother, so I can only follow it.”

He had suddenly changed to referring to Elizabeth as ‘mother‘.

As soon as he said that, Conrad‘s phone rang. He took it and had a look before smirking

“Mother wants me to ‘invite Miss Murphy to comply with the investigation. What do you think about that,

Matthew?” Looking at Matthew, Conrad asked smugly.

Matthew, who was still smoking, stopped at this point as a cold gaze flashed across his eyes.

Glancing coldly at Conrad for a split second, Matthew said, “Uncle, I think of you as an intelligent

individual. So, on the subject of who you can or can‘t touch…”

He deliberately stopped for a few seconds before continuing, “I think you should know best!”

He had thoroughly warned Conrad of this.

“Since you like Miss Murphy so much, why didn‘t you marry her in the first place, instead of causing this

fiasco? Matthew, it‘s not that I‘m scrutinizing you, but I do have to say that you haven‘t dealt with this

matter properly.”

Leaning against the back of the sofa, Conrad had placed a hand on the knee of his crossed leg while the

other was on the sofa. His proud demeanor was as if it was signifying a silent match between them two.

“Since you know it‘s my matter, you shouldn‘t be poking your finger in this pie, Uncle!”

Matthew displayed a cold attitude that did not leave any shame for his uncle.

“Hahaha.”

Laughing instead of bursting into anger, Conrad stated, “I‘m never a busybody. But, as you‘ve seen from

yesterday, you have been letting the PR team handle everything in regard to the wedding. Even though

this incident did not cause too much damage to the company, the losses yesterday already amounted to

2 billion in value vanishing in stocks. I think that you need to give some explanation to the board

members, no? Since you don‘t want me to go to look for Miss Murphy, I‘ll just have to find the Larsons

then. If I don‘t show them something to see, the Larson Family might think that we are just harmless

ants.”

In this final sentence, Conrad seemed to be stating that the Larsons were digging their own graves by

offending the Kingses, but in reality, he was talking about Matthew‘s incompetency.

Even though he knew the mastermind to be a member of the Larsons, Matthew actually didn‘t make a

move. Not only did this damage the pride of our family, it even made the public ridicule us.

“I know how to deal with my own matters.” Matthew flicked the cigarette ashes against the ashtray and

did not talk anymore.

Upon seeing this, Conrad lifted his arm and looked at his wristwatch. “It‘s getting late now, so I suppose

I‘ll take my leave.”

He then stood up and left.

Exiting Spinfluence Group, Conrad got into his car before ordering his subordinate, “Bloomstead seems

at peace nowadays, and that is boring. We should inject some fun into our lives. How about… We start

from the Larsons?”

The driver instantly understood Conrad‘s thoughts as he replied, “Understood, Sir. I‘ll call the men now
