Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

He remained seated with his legs crossed as he leaned back slightly. He linked his fingers and placed

them on his abdomen. He sat there like a boss, and he gave out an air of dominance and arrogance.

Although there was a hint of laziness in his posture, there was also a domineering coldness, which was

akin to a king of the forest who had just awakened from slumber.

“You’re the person in charge of Encounters Bridal Store, so have you analyzed the issue after

encountering this incident?”

She nodded. “It was a lapse on our part to not check the equipment properly. That was why the issue

occured.”

“One would definitely not be tripped twice by the same thing, but you’re the exception to the rule because

you’re the stupid person who was tripped twice by the same issue.” He chided her without any

reservations.

After being told off, she couldn’t help feeling resentful. “How would I have known anyway? This isn’t

entirely my fault! After all, it’s quite hard to dodge an attack that’s launched silently. I never expected

Damien to secretly plot behind my back!”

“You’ve made a mistake, so that’s ultimately your fault. Everyone would only look at the outcome. No one

cares about the process.”

He had a cold expression on his face and exuded the sternness of a leader. “You were quite lucky that it

was only Jackson injured in this incident. If the bomb was a much more powerful one than this one,

everyone in attendance at the wedding would be dead. By then, do you think anyone would bother to

listen to your so-called explanation?”

She clenched her fist tightly by her side. However, the intense glare she shot at him gradually

disappeared as her anger dissipated.

She blinked, and a slightly remorseful and guilty look appeared on her face. Although Matthew’s words

sounded very harsh, every sentence made perfect sense. It was quite true that in the adult world, no one

cared about excuses, and neither did anyone have the time to listen to explanations. They only cared

about the outcome.

“Yes. I should take full responsibility.” Veronica lowered her head gradually and stopped rebuking.

Initially, he had expected her to lose her temper from being chided so rudely. However, to his surprise,

she remained silent and listened to his stern chides meekly.

Her meek acceptance was hard for Matthew to take in, and he felt slightly sorry for her.

“From now onward, you’ll be in charge of the equipment we use at the bridal store. You’re in charge of

checking the safety profile of the equipment. If there are any issues that arise, you’ll be the one held

responsible.” He stood up and glanced at her with a cold expression as he spoke.

At that moment, Veronica was in shock. She clearly didn’t expect this day where she would be demoted

in the company she formed.

“What’s wrong? Are you against this decision?” He noticed the ashen and angry expression on her face,

so he questioned her.

“No, I made a mistake, so I am willing to accept the punishment.”

She accepted his punishment willingly. “Is there anything else that you would like to instruct us on?” She

continued to ask.

However, Matthew ignored her question this time.

He answered a phone call and got up to walk out of the shop. Subsequently, he drove off right after that.

Once he had left, Shirley gingerly walked over to stand next to Veronica, and the former asked in a

gentle voice, “Veronica, are you alright? President Kings was so fierce earlier. I was trembling with fear.”

Veronica heaved a sigh and took a seat on Matthew’s chair from before as she replied defeatly, “His

words were harsh, but it’s the truth.”

His harsh words were intended to help her learn a lesson.

“Veronica, are you seriously going to join the equipment team? This is a severe demotion.” Shirley felt

sorry for Veronica.

Nonetheless, Veronica was quite nonchalant about this. “It’s great. By starting from the basics, I would

be able to figure out my shortfalls.”

Veronica took this quite calmly, and not only was she not upset at all, but she also finally felt at ease

upon seeing Matthew appear. That meant her bridal store was now considered safe.

She stayed back at the company and tidied up the place until late at night. Finally, she looked at the time

and decided that it was enough for the day, so she left earlier to head to the mall. She bought some

supplements and drove toward the Kings Residence.

It had been quite a few days since she last visited, and this time, as she walked through the doors, she

suddenly felt something change in her.

“Veronica, you’re here!”

As soon as Veronica got out of her car, Conrad’s was parked next to hers, and he got out of his car with

Yvonne in tow.

“Conrad, Yvonne, you guys are here too.”

However, Veronica thought to herself, Conrad’s back at Kings Residence and it’s normal for him to come

home, but why did he bring Yvonne along this time? What was his intention? Does he plan to let

Elizabeth know his true feelings and then confess to Yvonne? That’s impossible! The possibility of that is

practically nil.

“Why are you looking at me with that glint in your eyes? Are you shocked to see me?”

Yvonne made her way to stand in front of Veronica and clutched Veronica’s arms affectionately. With a

smile, Yvonne mentioned, “I pestered Conrad to bring me over. I just wanted to meet Grandma.”

At that point, Veronica grimaced and lowered her head. She turned to Yvonne and whispered, “It looks

like you’re anxious to meet your future mother-in-law.”
