Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

The embarrassing sound reverberated in the room as she revealed an awkward smile. “Excuse me. I

must have eaten too much.”

The three guys looked at Veronica with shell-shocked expressions and subsequently, they turned in

unison to look at Matthew. Their expressions indicated their thoughts. The woman that you like is indeed

extraordinary. She’s so uncouth and rough. You’ve strange tastes.

He was the typical person who enjoyed a refreshing and different type after being used to encountering

too many classy and elegant women.

Matthew sensed the odd looks from his buddies and he coldly returned the stare with a warning look.

Frightened, they quickly lowered their heads to look at their phones as they tried to hide their presence.

Meanwhile, Veronica was satiated, so she stood up and she glanced at the leftover food on the table with

a slight shake of her head. “Look at you guys behaving so wastefully! We should appreciate our meals

and live frugally but here you are wasting so much food. This is such bad behavior!”

They felt quite perplexed to be blamed for something that wasn’t even their fault.

Miguel looked at her innocently. “I told you that I wasn’t hungry in the first place.”

Caleb touched the side of his nose. “I’m vegetarian.”

As for Skyler, he looked at Miguel and Caleb with a troubled look in his eyes. It was as if he was trying to

say, You guys have said all that can be said. What else can I use as an excuse?

He racked his brains quickly and came up with the words, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m starting to

feel hungry right now. I could have some.”

However, as soon as his words were said, three voices rang out in unison…

“Finish everything!”

Matthew, Caleb, and Miguel looked at him and entrusted him with the tough job.

As for Veronica, she nodded her head in approval. “Drew, you look quite gaunt and your bones are

sticking out. I reckon that you must be the unwelcome child in your family just like what’s written in the

s about affluent people having a least loved child. Your parents must only dote on your brother and

they don’t love you. They must have mistreated you so you’ve been deprived of food to the point of being

so horribly gaunt-looking.”

She had jumped to the conclusion based on the s she had read before that were the typical cliché

romance s about a rich and powerful man. In such stories, there would normally be a pitiful

character that lacked attention.

At that point, Skyler grimaced. “Heh! Heh! Veronica, you’ve such an overactive imagination. You’re so

great at this it’s a shame that you’re not working for Lenovo.”

“My immense talents would not be fully utilized there.”

She realized that Skyler was mocking her, but she took it lightly and smiled at him. “Hurry up and finish

the food. Don’t waste anything. I’ve eaten too much so I need to go for a walk.”

After Veronica had said that, she stretched her hand and rubbed her full belly, and walked out of the

room for a stroll outside.

As soon as he saw her walking out of the room, he slammed his spoon on the table. “Miguel, Matthew,

and Caleb, you guys are such big bullies!”

“How has this got to do with us? Veronica’s the one who bullied you.”

“Yeah, Miguel’s right.”

“Roni wanted you to eat more for your own good.”

The final sentence was spoken by Matthew and after he had said that, he turned to look at Skyler with a

slightly complicated look in his eyes. The complicated look in Matthew’s eyes caused a shiver to run

down Skyler’s spine.

“Uhuk! Matthew, stop looking at me with such an expression. I’m not interested in a woman like Veronica.

I’m serious about that. Trust me.”

As a man, he had an exceptionally great sixth sense. He could tell what was on Matthew’s mind with just

a glance so Skyler quickly explained to save himself.

“Finish your meal.”

Matthew slowly retracted his gaze and took his utensils in his hand. He was not bothered by the fact that

the food on the table was leftovers and he started to dig in.

His actions were very shocking to his other three buddies and they were slack-jawed.

After all, the Matthew whom they were familiar with was a stickler for hygiene and he would never touch

anyone’s leftover food. However, he had made an exception for Veronica.

At the moment, Veronica was taking a stroll in the corridor and she felt bored upon reaching the end of

the corridor so she made her way down the stairs quite naturally.

She strolled mindlessly and arrived four floors down.

At this moment, she heard a voice ring out in the corridor of the floor below her.

“Konig Company has been taken over by your brother. Once you’re discharged, you can start work at

Crawford Corporation right away.”

The voice sounded strong and full of energy. As soon as Veronica heard the voice, she knew that the

person talking must be Xavier’s father—Hendric.

“Why?”

Xavier, who was currently leaning against the corner of the wall, lost his temper. “I was the one who

started Konig Company from scratch, so who are you to take over the company just like that?! Hendric

Crawford, do you think that being my father gives you the right to do whatever you want?!”

“Well, the most your stupid little company makes in a year is merely ten million. It’s peanuts so do you

plan on getting by in life through achieving nothing? I’m so embarrassed by you!”

“Since you find me embarrassing, then you could just announce to the public that you’ll sever all ties with

me from now on.” Xavier snorted. “Isn’t this what you’ve always intended to do?”

“Shut up!”

Hendric roared at Xavier, “Do you actually think that I enjoy showing my concern for you?! If it wasn’t for

your late mother, I would not even bother to deal with a despicable thing like you!”

“I’ve arms and legs, so I can fend for myself. I don’t need your concern.”

“You couldn’t even protect your sister well, so what’s the point in you having arms and legs for? You’re

just a useless piece of trash! Your foolish actions resulted in your sister being crippled by the Kings. I

don’t even know how you’re able to live on with this knowledge!”
