Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

“Veronica, you must be insane…”

“I’m quite exhausted. I think I want to take a nap. You guys should head home now. It’s getting late.”

Veronica did not want to hear Yvonne continue with that matter anymore.

Hearing that, Yvonne felt helpless and left the ward with Ivana.

After they left, Veronica lay in bed and fell into deep thought.

At first, she was willing to be the god-granddaughter of Elizabeth because she needed the power of the

Kings Family to protect herself, but she never thought that this power would backfire and bring about a

series of consequences.

She could not help but wonder if her decision back then was right.

“What are you thinking about?”

Matthew came over to her side, and when he noticed her staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, he

knew that she had something on her mind.

“Nothing.”

Veronica shook her head and urged, “You should hurry up and leave as well.”

It sounded like an order to kick him out.

Veronica intended to distance herself from him time and time again. Matthew, too, could feel Veronica

pushing him away.

His heart sank, making him a little anxious for some reason.

“Do you really hate me so much?”

Matthew recalled a sentence in the book Flirting 101 which read:

When a woman is behaving indifferently to you, you may ask her directly if she hates you. This is a test

to her mind.

For Matthew, who had no experience in love, it was worth giving it a try.

Hearing his question, Veronica was inexplicably startled. She raised her eyelids and looked at Matthew,

who was standing straight, with her beautiful and glossy eyes. At that moment, her heart struggled to find

an answer.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, each having their own thoughts in mind.

At first, Veronica intended to protect herself in the name of the Kings Family, and her goal had been

achieved.

Now that many people knew that she was Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter, they would not act rashly

toward her. Therefore, it was better to distance her relationship with Matthew and cut off any thoughts he

had about her.

“Do you know what merits do not offset demerits mean?” she asked.

Matthew frowned slightly, puzzled.

However, Veronica’s abrupt and serious expression made his heart twitch, and a bad premonition arose

all of a sudden.

Eventually, she spoke up again, “I’m grateful that you saved me many times before, but even so, it

doesn’t change the fact that you have forcibly had sex with me many times, and you even forced me to

do it on the day you got engaged to your fiancée. You also can’t erase the fact that you killed the child in

my womb.”

Veronica spat all the nasty words without beating around the bush in order for Matthew to completely

give up on her.

She then added, “Back when I stayed in Twilight Condominium, you gave me so-called ‘sleeping pills’

and did some unforgivable and awful things to me. Even if I wasn’t the one who suffered from your

despicable acts, anyone else wouldn’t have easily forgiven you for that!”

Before Veronica knew she had insomnia, she thought that the sleeping pills in Twilight Apartment were

given by Matthew to her, but later, she realized that it was a misunderstanding.

Now, this misunderstanding could be turned into a sharp blade in severing the relationship between the

two.

Veronica’s every word was like a dagger stabbing into Matthew’s heart. The choking feeling that

suddenly arose in his chest made him furious yet helpless, but eventually, he endured it silently.

“Oh, right. I also forgot to tell you that the reason why I agreed to be Grandma’s god-granddaughter is

not that I adore her or anything, but because I wanted to use her love for me as protection. You saw it

too. Now that everyone knows that I am Grandma’s god-granddaughter, they bow down to me and treat

me like royalty. Even a simple catwalk can drive sales and get me endorsements. Speaking of which,

these are all given to me by your family.”

When Veronica said that, there was a slight smirk on her delicate face. “But you know what? These are

what you owe me! Don’t expect me to forgive you even though my status as the god-granddaughter of

the Kings Family has brought me a lot of benefits. They can only be considered as compensation for me

not calling the police after I was raped. Listen up…”

She paused deliberately and declared solemnly, “Rapists never deserve to be forgiven!”

Every enunciation of her words was heart-wrenching to Matthew!

To be frank, only half of her words were true.

She did rely on the power of the Kings Family, but she also liked Elizabeth.

She was grateful to Matthew for saving her many times, but she also hated Matthew’s despicable

methods against her at the beginning.

Although Veronica always greeted people with a smile on her face, she had a bruised heart hidden under

the mask of pretentiousness.

Her wounds would take a lifetime to heal.

These words were intended to be hidden deep in the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, however, the look Yvonne gave to Ivan today became the last straw that crushed

Veronica’s spiritual support. She, who had always been headstrong, did not want her efforts to be in vain

because of the support she gained from the Kings. That was why these words were spat in the most

ruthless way, deeply stinging Matthew’s heart.

It was equivalent to executing him psychologically and cutting off the possibility of mending the

relationship between the two!
