Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Reprimanded by the young lady, the dozen people were startled at first before they flushed crimson

with indignation.

“How impudent! Since when did an outsider have the right to point a finger at the Kings Family?”

“She thinks she’s all that just because Mom favors her.”

“What a goddamn thing.”

“What a disgraceful b*tch.”

…

Veronica heard all the insults they flung at her from behind, but she didn’t care about it in the slightest.

These people have got nothing to do with me, she thought. Trotting up to Matthew, she got into his car

and helped seat Elizabeth in the back seat, after which Matthew closed the car door, got into the

driver’s seat, and drove away.

The car drove gradually into the distance, leaving everyone else behind.

Only then did Veronica pat Elizabeth’s arm. “Grandma, they’ve been left behind.”

Upon hearing her words, Matthew took a glance at the rearview mirror, upon which he couldn’t help but

frown slightly. “Grandma, you’re alright?”

“Hmph! What could’ve happened to me, you brat?!” Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes with a sigh. “Now

can you tell me what happened?”

Matthew was still unwilling to tell the truth. “Nothing.”

Veronica couldn’t bear to let him take the blame alone, though. So, she said voluntarily, “Grandma, I

was telling the truth. The person in that photo… It was me.”

Veronica had typed a message on her phone with her back to the crowd at the memorial hall just now.

The message read, ‘I’m the person in the photo.’ The text was enlarged, allowing Elizabeth to instantly

realize what had happened, which was why she had pretended to faint. Otherwise, there was no way

they could get away in the presence of so many people.

Seeing that Veronica had told the truth right away, Matthew felt somewhat helpless, but he couldn’t

keep his lips from curling into a faint smile. It feels great that this silly girl cares very much about me, he

thought.

“And then?” Elizabeth questioned with a deep frown.

Veronica curled her lips. “Well… Where should I begin?” Finally, after much deliberation, she merely

explained, “Actually, I only agreed to go out with Matthew yesterday. But he’s been through so much

trouble before, and my identity is quite special, so it’s inconvenient to let outsiders know about this. We

had a date at the movies today, so I disguised myself as a man to avoid causing trouble.” She gave a

brief account of what had happened.

“Before the movie started, I took him to a men’s clothing store, where we met the eldest daughter of the

Dame Family. S-She kept provoking me, so I got mad and gave Matthew a kiss. Who would’ve known

that we’d be photographed by the store’s sales assistants in secret?” Her so-called ‘special identity’

was because she looked just like Tiffany. Matthew had just called off his engagement to Tiffany quite

recently. If word went public that he was in a relationship with Veronica, they would surely be criticized.

“Then what about the incident in the fitting room?” Elizabeth questioned.

Color instantly flooded Veronica’s cheeks. Turning to look out of the car window, she put up her hands

to cover her face, feeling so embarrassed that she wished the ground would open and swallow her up.

Seriously, Grandma, do you have to ask about this kind of thing?

Elizabeth was still wearing a grim face. “Fess up, Matthew!”

Matthew glanced at her in the rearview mirror. Then, he replied truthfully, “I am a man.” The four words

explained everything perfectly.

Elizabeth was exasperated. “Don’t you know to restrain yourself?”

Matthew turned his head slightly to dart a look at the woman in the back seat as a faint smile played

across his lips. “I like her, so I couldn’t restrain myself.”

“How shameless.” Elizabeth let out a sigh. Then, she turned to glance at Veronica beside her. “Now

you know to feel embarrassed, huh? You shouldn’t have done that in the first place!”

Veronica was at a loss for words.

Matthew didn’t want to see her being scolded. “Grandma, don’t blame Roni. It was my fault for being

too impulsive.”

“It’s you that I’m talking about!” Elizabeth chided angrily before a smile gradually came over her angry

face. Amused and exasperated, she said, “Why didn’t you guys tell me about this earlier? I wasn’t

prepared for it at all. Had Veronica not told me in time about it, I’d have nearly punished you.”

When she saw the video, she really thought that Matthew was gay. However, at the memorial hall,

Veronica told her on her cell phone that she was the ‘man’ in the photo. At that very moment, she

realized that Veronica and Matthew were in a relationship. She had always hoped that they would

become a couple. Now that they had become a couple after so many twists and turns, she was

naturally happy.

“How are you two gonna deal with this in the future? Huh?” she asked Veronica. “Veronica, Matthew is

already a grown-up. Now that he’s got someone he likes, he naturally got a little too familiar with you.

Don’t tell me that you two still plan to keep your relationship a secret.” She wanted to ask for Veronica’s

opinion.

“Huh? Well…” Veronica slowly put down her hand to reveal a fair-skinned cheek that was still blushing.

She touched her nose in embarrassment, saying, “Grandma, w-we’re still trying to get along.”
