Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 11


    Chapter 11


    Seeing Thomas, Veronica couldn’t help but feel nervous and a little scared as she had yet to forget that


    she flooded Matthew’s apartment a few hours ago. “Haha. What a coincidence, Mr. Ritter.” She greeted


    Thomas with an amiable smile, already having pulled out her phone and speedily looking for


    Elizabeth’s number before sending her a text. Right after she sent the text, Thomas swiftly snatched


    her phone away. “What is the meaning of this, Mr. Ritter?” Veronica pretended to be infuriated. Without


    even ncing at her phone, Thomas handed it to a bodyguard behind him before inviting her with a


    straight face. “Please, Miss Murphy.” With that, he led Veronica away. When the sedan’s door opened,


    Veronica bent her back and got into the vehicle, only to see an intimidating man inside resting with his


    eyes shut. The sight of him left her heart palpitating. Nervous, she gulped down her saliva and forced a


    gratifying smile. “I heard you were looking for me… Young Master Matthew.” The man slightly turned


    his head toward her as he slowly opened his eyes, revealing his sharp gaze. “So how do you want to


    die?” He blurted those words with a tone as serene as a sunny day. In Veronica’s ears, however, those


    words were the execution order of a dictator. “Hehe. Of old age, of course.” Despite the beam on her


    face, inwardly, she was cursing and swearing at him. As the man rested his crossed hands on his


    abdomen, he tapped his slender finger on the back of his hand, loudly ordering, “Start the car,


    Thomas.” “Wait what? W-Where are we going?” Veronica panicked. When she barely voiced the


    question, Thomas had already gotten into the car and started the sedan. Matthew once again shut his


    eyes without speaking any further. Helpless, she turned to Thomas. “Where are we heading to, Mr.


    Ritter?” “The hospital.” “The hospital?” Veronica’s face nched as her heart thumped rapidly. When


    she recalled that Matthew said he would remove her womb, her fear grew more intense. All these


    years, she never had truly feared anyone, but right at that moment, she couldn’t help but admit that


    Matthew terrorized her. This is it. I’m done for. Hopeless, Veronicay against the back of her seat,


    having not the slightest energy to shake off the problem she was facing. All she could do now was to


    wait for Elizabeth’s call. Ring, ring, ring! A ringtone thundered through the car. Seeing as Matthew


    picked up the phone, Veronica was pleasantly surprised. Hastily, she tilted her body toward the phoneN?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    and saw it was indeed a call from Elizabeth. “Help me, madam! Matthew’s gonna remove my wo—”


    She attempted to scream for help into the phone, but before she could finish her words, the man


    gripped her neck and covered her mouth. “Zip it if you want to live.” Matthew shot her a piercing gaze


    with murderous intent surging in his eyes, to which Veronica obediently nodded. Nevertheless, since


    Elizabeth had called, she no longer had to be afraid. “What is it, Grandma?” Paying attention to the


    phone call, Matthew inquired. “Where are you, brat? Where are you bringing Veronica?” Matthew


    remained silent for a while. “Say something, will you? I’ll have you know that if anything happens to her,


    I’ll kill myself!” “Grandma, she’s no one important.” “Doesn’t matter. What matters is the child inside her!


    How long do you think this old woman has left? I merely want a grandchild to hold. No one here asked


    for a marriage!” “And why do you think she has the right to enter the Kings Family?” “You don’t have to


    marry her, but I want the baby.” “We have yet to know whether there’s a child.” “Then, wait. Get her


    checked in two months. But if you darey a finger on her before that, I’ll smash my head against the


    wall and go see your grandpa!” Matthew was rendered speechless. “Pass the phone to Veronica,”


    Elizabeth instructed. Reluctant, the man frowned as he tightened his phone-holding hand. What drug


    did this b*tch give Grandma? After a moment of hesitation, he loosened his hand on Veronica and put


    the phone on speakerphone before handing it to her. “Veronica?” Elizabeth yelled. As Veronica wiped


    her mouth with her sleeve that was touched by the man, the anger on her face turned into a subtle grin.


    “Madam?” “Oh, Veronica. What did they do to you?” Veronica turned to Matthew with a boastful look


    and lifted her brows as if she had won the fight. Shortly after, she withdrew her grin and started wailing.


    “Boohoo! Madam, Matthew said he was going to bring me to the hospital to remove my womb. Boohoo!


    I’m so scared, madam!” Seeing the instantaneous change of facial expression that was even more


    adept than that of an elite actress, Matthew squinted his eyes, feeling even more vexed. If it weren’t for


    Elizabeth’s order, he would have strangled the woman before him to death. “Aww, don’t cry… Don’t you


    worry now. I’ve already taught him a lesson. He won’t bully you ever again, okay?” “Okay, I trust you,


    madam. B-But…” “But what?” “Matthew… He confiscated my phone.” “Argh, that brat! He’s really


    growing bold. It’s okay, Veronica. Stop crying, okay? Tell me if he dares pull anything stupid next time,


    alright?” Although Elizabeth had only spent three days with Veronica, she couldn’t help but be


    impressed by her wit and intelligence as well as her diligence. She would have been the perfect girl.


    Sadly, her only w was her ordinary, perhaps not-so-appealing appearance. Personally, Elizabeth


    didn’t think that she was hideous. In fact, she thought Veronica was a suitable acquaintance to live her


    life with. Unfortunately, her appearance wasn’t able to charm Matthew’s heart, which in turn became an


    obstacle to their marriage. “Got it. Thank you, madam.” “Anytime. Can you pass the phone to Matthew


    now?” “Mhm!” After humming a response, Veronica returned the phone to Matthew. He then turned off


    the speakerphone and put the phone at his ear. “Grandma?” “Oh, here I thought you’d forgotten I was


    your grandma. How bold have you grown, huh? So bold you’d even disobey my words? So bold you’re


    sending Veronica to the hospital to have her uterus removed? Who do you think you are, God?”


    Elizabeth furiously continued, “Return the phone back to Veronica right now! I’ll be video-calling her


    every day from now on. If I were to sense a hint of unhappiness within her, you can start preparing a


    funeral!” “Grand—” Beep, beep… Before Matthew could say anything more, Elizabeth already hung up.


    Tilted, he clutched the phone so hard his fingers cracked. He was clearly outraged, so outraged that it


    could match the extent of the most wrathful storm. Meanwhile, Veronica was observing him,


    assiduously studying his every gesture. Seeing him so irate, she immediately knew that Elizabeth must


    have warned him not to torment her any longer. Realizing that, she felt utterly relieved. “Return her


    phone.” “Yes, Young Master Matthew.” As Thomas was driving, he pulled out Veronica’s phone and


    gave it back to her. “Thank you.” She thanked the assistant. Right when she grabbed her phone, it


    instantly rang, and the caller ID was ‘Madam Elizabeth.’ As she looked at the number on her phone,


    Matthew, too, had noticed it.
