Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Meanwhile, most of them were actors and actresses whom she had seen in those international

blockbuster films.

She greeted them one after the other and for the first time ever, she found that it actually felt great to be

praised by the others.

In the end, the crowd dispersed. Larry then brought Veronica to the rest area and continued to chat.

Shortly after that, Stephen finished shooting his scene and joined them. Stephen invited Veronica out

for lunch and he mentioned that he had asked for some time off from the director.

He was very enthusiastic, so Veronica found it hard to turn down his invitation. Furthermore, Larry

pestered her to accept it, so she ended up agreeing.

“Master, could I have a photo taken with you?” Stephen held up his phone and waved it in front of her

as he asked.

“Sure thing.” Veronica nodded.

Consequently, the three of them took a group photo.

Veronica was in exceptionally great spirits, so she posted the photo on her social media. ‘I’ve been

lucky enough to take a photo with Oscar-winning actor Mr. Stephen Armstrong. He’s a witty and

charming man.’ She included a photo with her post.

Inside the photo, Stephen stood by her left side while Larry was on her right and the two guys flanked

her. They had even pulled a funny face and it was a photo that left everyone dumbfounded.

She had just posted the photo on her social media minutes ago and soon enough, the comments

streamed in.

Yvonne’s words were ‘You’re such a lousy friend! That’s my idol there, so you must get me an

autographed photo!’

Skyler: ‘Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. He’s an international superstar and fights well. Did you two have a match?’

Ivana: ‘Aaahhh!! This is insane! He’s my favorite idol! Help me get an autographed photo, darling boss.’

Mia: ‘Tsk! There is nothing to be proud of for knowing Larry. Show-off!’

Caleb: ‘Great!’

Ruka: ‘Since when did you get to know these huge superstars? Introduce me to them.’

…

As soon as these people saw Veronica’s social media status, Matthew’s phone beeped subsequently

too.

He retrieved his phone and unlocked it to take a look. His most frequently used profile on Twitter had

no notification reminder, but there was a notification reminder on the Twitter profile of his ‘secret

identity’ instead.

He tapped into it and there was a new tweet made by his friend and he merely followed one user—

Veronica.

Someone like Matthew with an exalted status usually scoffed at the thought of creating a second social

media account, but because he had broken up with her, they no longer maintained contact with each

other.

Somehow, he had ended up registering a second Twitter account and followed her as his friend to stalk

her life silently.

This was the first time in the past three months that she had released her first status update.

However, as soon as Matthew saw the two men by her side, he frowned and there was a thunderous

expression on his face.

He continued to stare at the photo for quite some time before finally placing down his phone; he leaned

against his chair while he remained lost in his thoughts.

Ring. Ring. Suddenly, his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from Mrs. Coleman, who served Elizabeth at

Kings Residence.

Matthew knew that it was rare for Mrs. Coleman to call him, so something must have happened for her

to contact him.

“What’s wrong, Mrs. Coleman?” He answered the phone.

“Gosh, Young Master Matthew, where are you right now? Something’s gone wrong. I was taking a walk

with Old Mrs. Kings when she instructed me to go and get her a bottle of water. In a blink of an eye,

she had gone missing.” On the other end, Mrs. Coleman was frantic with worry as she spoke.

“Missing?” Matthew lifted a hand and pressed the area in between his brows. “Where did she go

missing exactly?”

“It’s a park near Falls Street.”

“Alright, don’t panic. I’ll send some men over to look for her right away.” He did not blame Mrs.

Coleman at all and he hung up the phone after saying that.

He rose from his seat and grabbed his jacket from the coat hanger. Subsequently, he strode out of his

office.

Ever since Elizabeth had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, they had been keeping a close eye

on her. However, she had been behaving normally for the past few months, so that was why everyone

had gradually overlooked her.

At the same time, Veronica, who was currently still located at Rocky Bay, received a phone call too.

Mrs. Coleman’s number was saved on her phone, so she saw from the caller ID that it was her on the

line.

“Stephen, Larry, give me a minute. I have a call to take.”

She pointed at her phone and spoke to the two before walking to the side to answer the phone. “Mrs.

Coleman?”

“Veronica, something’s gone wrong. Old Mrs. Kings has gone missing. I… I’ve searched for ages, but I

can’t find her. What should I do?” Mrs. Coleman heaved a sigh.

“What? Grandma’s missing? How did that happen? I thought she was doing quite well lately?” Veronica

instantly figured that Elizabeth’s Alzheimer’s disease had worsened.

Mrs. Coleman slapped her thighs out of anxiety. “Gosh! I know! You’re right. But then, I was well… I

didn’t mean to take my eyes off her.”

“Alright there. Take a deep breath. Where did Grandma go missing? I’ll head over there right now to

look for her.”

“We were at the park on Falls Street.”

“Sure, Mrs. Coleman. I’ll be there shortly.” Veronica hung up the phone and turned around to explain

the situation to Stephen and Larry. “Guys. Something urgent has popped up back home, so I won’t be

able to join you two for lunch. Please excuse me.”
