Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Matthew glanced at her, and his eyes shone at the sight of her. He was once again wowed by her

stunning looks.

She looked good in anything that she donned, and she always seemed to be able to bring out the best

and prettiest features of every gown that she put on. She looked just like an elegant princess coming out

of the castle, and there was an air of nobility that she exuded.

“You have good taste.” Veronica was generous with her praises.

In response, he curled his lips into a slight smile and retracted his gaze. As he drove, he replied, “It fits

you very well.”

Ding— As he drove, there was the sound of a text message notification on his cell phone.

His cell phone number was not generally known to many people, so it must be something urgent if the

other party contacted him.

He took a look at his cell phone while waiting at the traffic lights, and he saw that it was a text message

from a bank with the reminder, ‘Bank of Destor- Transaction of 328888.00 completed by Veronica

Murphy on October 8th, 17:05. Your current balance…’

As soon as he saw the message, his expression instantly turned thunderous, and he turned to look at

her with a cold expression in his eyes. “What do you mean by this?”

“It’s an expression of my gratitude for your help in picking out a gown for me. You’ve saved me the effort

of picking out a gown by myself.” Veronica beamed at him, and her red lips curved slightly.

She had checked the price of this gown and the exact cost was 328888.

She didn’t want to have any unnecessary monetary entanglements with Matthew, so after checking the

price of the gown, she swiftly transferred the amount it cost to him.

As for the gown that she had on, she didn’t remove the tags at all because she planned to return the

gown to the merchant after today’s event. After all, the gown was too expensive.

He looked at her from the side of his eyes, and he kept his cold eyes intently on her without saying

anything for quite some time. There were plenty of emotions masked in his dark eyes.

Meanwhile, she felt slightly apprehensive under his watchful eyes, and she turned her head in the other

direction before muttering, “The light just turned green. You should start moving. The car behind us is

honking loudly.”

She was quite clear that her actions would trigger his displeasure, but she honestly didn’t want to be

entangled with him unnecessarily.

As for Matthew, he started the car and drove along with his eyes in front of him. He didn’t say a word at

all along the way.

Veronica sensed that he was in a bad mood, so she didn’t say a word either and silently watched some

videos to kill time.

Half an hour later, they finally pulled into Hilton Hotel.

The event was held at the grand hall on the second floor of Hilton Hotel.

Although it was a charity event, it was a special charity event organized by the Bloomstead local

government. It was actually a cocktail party and an auction.

The benefactors donated their antiques and collector’s items to be auctioned, and then the entire

proceeds from the auction would be used for charitable purposes.

The people in attendance at this charity event were the top scions of society in Bloomstead, so there was

an array of luxury cars in front of the hotel entrance. Everyone had on custom-made suits or gowns, and

they were dressed to the nines. It was like a fashion show.

Matthew got out of the car and looked at Veronica, who was walking in his direction. Subsequently, he

lifted his arms slightly and signaled to her with his eyes.

“I don’t think this would be appropriate.”

She realized that he intended for her to hold on to his arms. Although she was his god-sister and partner

for the event, she was still quite against the idea of it.

“You’re grandma’s god-granddaughter and you’re also…”

“Roni?”

Matthew hadn’t finished his sentence when suddenly someone called out her name affectionately from

behind.

Both of them turned around to look and saw that it was Yvonne, dressed in a black, lace pleated dress,

and she was walking quite briskly toward them in her high heels.

Perhaps it was because Veronica and Yvonne had an open and honest conversation with each other in

the restaurant that their relationship was better than before. Yvonne had now started to address Veronica

as ‘Roni’.

“Yvonne, you’re here as well?”

Veronica suddenly realized that Yvonne was her lifesaver, so the former intended to keep a tight grip on

the latter the best she could.

As soon as Veronica realized this, an idea popped into her mind. “Are you here by yourself today during

such an event? Where’s your partner?”

“President Kings, you’re here too.” Yvonne revealed a slight smile and greeted Matthew. Subsequently,

she turned to look at Veronica and shrugged. “I wish I had a partner too, but unfortunately I don’t have

one.”

“There is one for you!”

Veronica lifted her brows and dragged Yvonne along. Subsequently, the former shoved the latter right in

front of Matthew and smiled sweetly at him. “Matthew, here’s a partner for you.”

As soon as Matthew heard her words, a cold look appeared on his face, and he glared at her with a dark

look in his eyes. “I don’t need one.”

After he had said that, he flung the coat he held in his arms straight at Veronica, and somehow, it hit her

squarely on the forehead. He then strode off angrily.

Meanwhile, Veronica pulled the coat off her head. She knew that this was a jacket prepared for her by

Matthew. After all, it was late autumn now and the weather could get quite chilly. One would definitely

freeze in the cold if they had a gown on without any jacket.

A month earlier, the temperature during the day could get up to 86 degrees, but now it had dropped to

the fifties, so it was definitely hard to get used to this change in temperature.

“Roni, what are you trying to do? President King seems mad.” Yvonne nudged Veronica with her elbows

to remind her.

However, Veronica draped the jacket over her shoulders and reacted quite nonchalantly. “I’m not his

mother, so I’m not responsible for his emotions.”

“Matthew?”

As Veronica and Yvonne were talking about Matthew, a voice rang out and interrupted them. They saw

Ruka dressed in an emerald two-piece suit, and her full cleavage was quite evident from the deep

neckline of her suit. Her luscious dark hair was slightly curled and hung loosely on her shoulders. She

had on a pair of red tassel earrings, which made her complexion look much prettier and more milky-white

than ever. She exuded elegance.

She was in a pair of stilettos as she strode to Matthew’s side. With a tilt of her head, she curved her red

lips into a wide smile. “Matthew, do you not have a partner? I don’t have one either. Let’s pair up and

head inside.”
