Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 39

Thereafter, Floch and Rachel left the police station and headed back to Dragon’s Creek Villa.

On the other hand, Tiffany had been staying at home after she was discharged from the hospital, so her parents told her about Veronica’s incident.

Tiffany was sitting on the couch eating fruits when she heard the news. Instead of being annoyed, she laughed. “Since she is at the police station already, let’s keep her there longer.”

A smile spread over Tiffany’s exquisite face. While chewing the fruits, she frowned all

of a sudden and asked, “If we provoked Veronica, will she choose to expose her

identity?”

“She’s already at the police station; so what if she exposes her identity? She has neither money nor power, and she has miscarried Matthew’s child. So, no one will care about her,” Floch commented and snorted disdainfully.

Rachel chimed in, “By the time she is released from prison half a year later, you will already be married to Matthew and pregnant with his child. Meanwhile, an ex convict like her can never possibly be married into the Kings Family again, so she naturally won’t pose a threat to us.”

Tiffany felt great upon hearing Rachel’s precise analysis. At once, she thought the injury on her head was worth it since the small injury could cause Veronica to be imprisoned for half a year.

Meanwhile, Xavier, who had not met Veronica for a few days, called her several times but none of the calls were picked up.

In fact, he had made more than ten calls to her from the morning until the afternoon and had continued doing so on the following day, but Veronica did not answer any of the calls. Flustered, Xavier went to Regalia Condominium directly, but Veronica was nowhere to be seen too.

Xavier was worried that something had happened to Veronica, so he quickly sent someone to investigate it. It was only then that he knew Veronica was currently detained in the police station for hitting Tiffany. Then, he leveraged his connection to meet Veronica in the police station’s guest room.

“Roni, are you alright?”

Although it had only been a few days since Xavier met Veronica, he noticed that the latter had lost weight. Besides, she looked even more miserable as she was handcuffed. Nevertheless, despite the current situation, Veronica actually wore a smile when she saw Xavier.

“Yeah. It’s quiet here.”

Siuing calmly across Xavier, Veronica frowned and asked, “How did you know I’m here?”

Bang! Xavier slapped the table furiously. “Floch Larson is such a jerk! You’re his biological daughter too, so how could he treat you like this?! 1–”

Perhaps he was stirred up upon seeing Veronica’s pitiful circumstance, Xavier threw a fit on the spot.

“Keep it down!” A policeman scowled instantly.

Xavier ignored the policeman’s reminder but paused and lifted his brows. His eyes which were originally filled with anger glistened as he turned to look to the side.

Oh shucks! I‘ve let the cat out of the bag!

“When did you find out about this?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Veronica was surprised when she heard him, but then she sighed in resignation. “My mom must have told you, didn’t she?” Besides this, she could not think of any other explanation.

Given how the Larsons feared the Kingses, they would surely alter Veronica’s education background too besides replacing her identity card to ensure there were no loopholes. As such, Xavier would not possibly be able to discover it since even the Kingses could not

Xavier ran his hand through his short hair as a wicked smile spread across his evil face. “I accidentally saw your family portrait the other day, so Mrs. Murphy told me everything since she can’t hide the truth anymore.”

Truth was, after that day, Xavier sent someone to investigate Tiffany and Veronica, but all the information was handled so seamlessly that he could not discover any

“Knowing about it doesn’t really matter to me. I just hope you can help to keep it a secret.”

“I heard on the night when Matthew met a car accident, Tiffany saved him while on the way to deliver food. If I guessed it correctly, the one who saved Matthew was you instead, am I right?”

As a man of fortune, Matthew was someone on the top of the pyramid in Bloomstead and was always at the center of focus. As such, his car accident would naturally draw all the media’s attention, so it was not surprising that Xavier was aware of this matter too.

“I’m all good. Thanks for visiting me, Xavier, but I hope you won’t meddle with my affairs.” Veronica did not answer Xavier’s question but quickly switched the topic.

Nevertheless, Xavier understood that her response was an acquiescence.

“Are you kidding me? Since the Larsons have sent you here, they must be dying for you to stay in prison. You’ll be finished if I don’t come to your rescue!” Xavier just could not bear to see Veronica

being bullied by the Larsons.

Although his background was very different from hers, he always felt like they were facing similar situations.

“If you deem me as a friend, please don’t meddle with this affair. I’ll be able to handle it well.” Veronica maintained a confident stance.

Frowning, Xavier leaned forward slightly and asked softly, “Do you perhaps already have a plan?”

“Thanks for coming, Xavier. I’ll buy you a beer after I get out of here.” Veronica stood up with a smile and directly left thereafter.

Given how Veronica deliberately hid the truth, Xavier knew the matter must not be as simple as it seemed, so all he could do now was observe from the side. With that, he left the police station with loads of curiosity.

Veronica’s mysterious response caused him to be even more interested in what would come next.

On that afternoon, one of the famous influencer accounts on Twitter posted shocking news. “Tiffany Larson, the Most Talented Socialite in Bloomstead, Alleged to Have a Biological Younger Sister!’ Besides, there was a picture attached to the

news.

At the same time, there was another influencer account that posted a news article too, titled ‘The Larsons’ Long Lost Daughter Donated Her Bone Marrow to Randy Larson

The two news stories had caused an uproar in Bloomstead, and they immediately became the trending topics.

When the Larsons saw the news, all of them were annoyed and flustered. Tiffany, who was resting at home, was so furious when she saw the news that she started hurling stuff. “Veronica that b*tch! How dare she do this?! She really deserves death!”

Blood-boiled, she glared at Rachel with her bloodshot eyes. “I’ve long told you that we must get rid of Veronica. Otherwise, we won’t be able to live in peace!”

Hearing that, Rachel looked distressed. “I’ve not thought she would be this capable to be able to contact the influencers on Twitter.”

“Dad, quickly shut down the news. Stop them from trending!” Tiffany roared at Floch in a panic.

“What’s the use of doing that now? Everyone must have read the news already. There are many reporters gathering outside the house now wanting to interview us.”

Smoking a cigar, Floch furrowed his brows and pondered. “No wonder Veronica was so calm even after we called the police yesterday. It seems like we’ve underestimated her.”

“What should we do now?” Tiffany asked.

“What else can we do? Of course, we have to get her out of the police station!”

“What?! Get her out? But s-she…”

“Hmph! What’s done is done. Right now, the only thing we can do is get her out and get rid of her!”

Floch wore a serious expression while his sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Half an hour later, Veronica was released from the detention center, and she saw Xavier waiting for her outside the moment she walked out.

Seeing Veronica walking out, Xavier strode toward her and retorted coldly, “Where’s your brain?! You knew the Larsons wanted to come after you, yet you caused such a scene. Aren’t you forcing them to get rid of you by doing so?”

Exasperated, Xavier stretched his hand to poke Veronica’s forehead. “I thought you got everything under control. Instead, all you have are some reckless stupid ideas!”

“Ouch! That hurts!”

Veronica rubbed her forehead upon being fiercely poked by Xavier. “Why are you throwing such a fit? Am I someone who can be casily gotten rid of?”

Then, she placed her hand on Xavier’s shoulder as if they were good buddies. “Let’s go. I’m going home to shower and change, then I’ll bring you out for snacks and beer tonight.”

“You’re already in deep water, yet you’re still thinking of drinking?”

Driven mad by Veronica’s childish’idea, Xavier became extremely worried about her.
