Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 12
Chapter 12
Veronica answered the call and listened to the old woman’s warm words. Elizabeth told her that if
something were to happen to her, she should give her a call. Elizabeth then hung up after she heard a
yes from Veronica. “Stop the car!” Veronica shouted after ending the call. ring at her, Matthew
reached out his hand and grabbed her by her jaw before turning her face toward himself. “What? Think
you’re somebody now just because you have Grandma’s support?” “It’s not that.” She shoved his hand
away and dropped her gratifying act. “Although you’re rich and good-looking, Matthew, not every
woman is dying to be married to you, so you don’t have to be so smug all the time. What happened this
time was just an ident. I understand that you don’t want me to be pregnant, but I don’t have the
desire to bear your child as well. Two monthster, I’ll go get checked in the hospital, and you can have
Thomas follow me. If the results state that I’m pregnant, we can opt for an abortion then, cutting off any
connection there is between us.” Seeing her serious attitude, Matthew revealed a grin. “You think I’d
buy that?” After all, how could he trust a slippery, Oscar-worthy woman like her? “It’s all up to you, but
that’s the best choice, isn’t it?” Veronica confidently smiled. Her bright smile somewhat disgusted
Matthew. “Stop the car!” With that, the sedan stopped. Veronica politely bid her farewell. “Goodbye.”
Having said that, she pushed the car door open before mming it shut and departing. Her forceful
m left the car swinging. Meanwhile, inside the car was Matthew rubbing his forehead, perturbed by
how troublesome Veronica was. “Pay close attention to her phone calls and have someone to keep an
eye on her.” “Yes, Young Master Matthew,” Thomas replied without questioning his boss. Having
worked for Matthew for many years, he was well aware of how he thought. He understood that Matthew
was worried Veronica might look for another man or seek any kind of measure to impregnate herself
within the following two months. … And so, for one and a half months, Veronica never bumped into
Matthew. She had returned to her previous life—working as a security guard at Twilight Club during the
night and doing takeout deliveries in her spare time during the day. Other than that, she would send
lunch over to her foster mother at the hospital. Her foster father, on the other hand, remained
unconscious. One day, as she was delivering takeouts to her customers, she received a phone callN?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
from the private investigator. “Miss Murphy, I’ve found the negligent driver,” the investigator imed.
Since the negligent driver seeded in escaping the ident involving her foster parents, plus the fact
that, after the investigation, the vehicle was discovered to be a legally scrapped car, the negligent
driver was nowhere to be found. Nheless, the private investigator was able toe up with a way
to locate the car, and obtain the blood inside it to run a DNA test. Eventually, he discovered that the
negligent driver was in fact a criminal. Receiving the news, Veronica was even more convinced that the
Larsons had bribed the police officer responsible for the case. Otherwise, how could the police force
fail toe to a finding? “Where is the man?” “I’ll arrive at Bloomstead in two hours. I’ll contact you
again by then.” “Great. Thanks.” After hanging up her phone, Veronica muttered, “Dad, Mom, I’m
getting closer to the truth! I’ll make sure the people who hurt you pay for it!” In the meantime, in the
Larson Residence, Rachel received a call. After ending the call, she nervously stared at Floch and
Tiffany who were sitting on the couch, anxiously stating, “A private investigator hired by Veronica found
the driver in the ident. Do you think she has figured out that we were behind it?” “What? How did
Veronica find him? Didn’t you say we recruited someone trustable?” Tiffany visibly panicked. As the
matter would affect the Larson Family’s reputation, she couldn’t just stay out of it, fearing that it would
tremendously hurt the family’s name. Then, Floch revealed a glum look. “Tiffy only began to get closer
with Young Master Matthew recently. We can’t let Veronica work out that we were involved in the
ident. Or else, we can no longer dwell in this city.” Rachel replied, “Indeed. That’s what I’m worried
about.” Floch pondered with a glower. “Now that Veronica’s investigator has found the driver, if we wish
to keep this buried, the driver will have to die.” Rachel then questioned, “What if Veronica already
knows about it?” “Then she shall die too! As long as she lives, us Larsons can never find peace!”
Tiffany’s face was filled with apathy along with traces of malice. Feeling helpless, Rachel and Floch
peered at each other. Although Tiffany’s suggestion was an overkill, if Veronica found out about the
truth, she would definitely inform Elizabeth about it. By then, they could forget about establishing a
connection with the Kingses. “Fine, I’lle up with something.” Unable to sit still, Floch stood up and
left. Two hourster, Veronica received another call from her private investigator on her way home from
delivering takeouts. “Are you in Bloomstead already? Where should I look for you?” She couldn’t
suppress her feelings and was obviously agitated. “Greetings, Miss Murphy. I’m Ash, the private
investigator’s assistant. I was told to ry to you that my boss has decided to terminate your
recruitment.” “What? I’ve given you a total of 80,000, and now you’re saying you’re going to call it
quits?” Veronica was infuriated. “The private investigator responsible for your investigation was
violently beaten up by a gang of men on the way to Bloomstead, and the negligent driver was taken
away. My colleague is in a critical condition and is now in the ICU.” “How can that be? Where’s the
investigator now? I’ll go have a look…” “There’s no need for that. Farewell.” Finished, the person on the
other side of the phone hung up. In that instant, Veronica was thoroughly baffled. She stopped her
scooter under a tree by the road. The sky was covered in gray clouds. Suddenly, the thunder roared
and a downpour quickly followed. The raindrops fell on her helmet while she remained stationary,
sitting on her scooter. Larsons… It’s another ruthless move pulled by the Larsons! Veronica was utterly
enraged, though there was still fear for the Larson Family within her. After sitting idly by the road for a
long time, she suddenly sprung up from her seat. As she was about to leave, her vision started to
darken, and she copsed. Later, in the hospital, the unconscious Veronica was apparently sent to the
hospital by Matthew’s man who was monitoring her. After some time, she finally regained
consciousness. Swiftly, she opened her eyes, only to find herself waking up in the hospital while beside
her was a nurse changing her IV liquid. She raised her hand and rubbed her drowsy head, asking the
nurse, “W-Why am I here?” After changing the IV liquid pack, the nurse replied, “You’re pregnant, and
you weren’t getting enough rest, which caused you to faint.” “What? I-I’m… pregnant? No way. I even
had my period two days ago.” Veronica shook her head rapidly. Matthew and I only did it a couple of
times that night, and he managed to hit the jackpot? Isn’t that… too easy? “What? That’s a threatened
miscarriage, which is why you lost some blood. You’re a grown woman, yet you can’t tell if you’re
pregnant?” “T-Threatened miscarriage?” The news stormed into Veronica’s head, leaving her
immensely dazed. All of a sudden, the ward door opened, and Matthew, who she hadn’t seen for more
than a month, appeared in her vision.
