Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 134

Chapter 134

Matthew was seen alighting his vehicle together with Tiffany.

"Oh, Veronica, I see you've brought your boyfriend over with you." Carrying her purse, Tiffany greeted Veronica as if she was the open-hearted, generous host of the residence

Matthew, on the other hand, gave Veronica a piercing glance before glaring at Xavier. His eyes were abysmally cold.

"That's none of your business. Why do you care?" Veronica taunted and rolled her eyes at Tiffany, showing no intention in playing nice.

"What... Y-You..." Surprised by her impudence, Tiffany felt infuriated and frustrated. She turned to Matthew, eyeing for help, but the man "missed it."

"You what? Huh? Get away from me, witch!"

Veronica deliberately took a few steps backward and brushed the nonexistent dust on her shoulders away before turning around to pick up the supplements in Xavier's car, saying, "B-" Before she could say a word, Xavier interjected, "I'll carry them for you. Let's go see Old Mrs. Kings."

Veronica was dazed and confused. He said he was only sending me here. Why is he suddenly coming with me? Regardless, Xavier was only trying to help, so she didn't feel right to reject his goodwill.

"Mr. Crawford, Veronica comes from the countryside, so her speech can be... harsh. But don't take it to heart. I'm sure she'll slowly change." Disconcerted, Tiffany took the opportunity to mock Veronica's identity and gave her a "pep talk."

"Since you're Mr. Crawford's girlfriend, make sure to kill your old, bad habits, okay? Otherwise, how are you going to get married to him? You're bound to get bad mouthed!" Having said that, she turned to Matthew. "Isn't that right, Matthew?"

Matthew simply shot her a mean glance before turning his eyes to Veronica as he blurted a "yes."

"Shut up, b*tch! Stop poking your nose into my matters!" Veronica had no desire to be courteous with Tiffany just because she was Matthew's "fiancée."

He apathy toward Tiffany caused Xavier to overthink. He came to a "conclusion" that the hatred Veronica bore sor Tiffany wasn't only familial, but also out of jealousy as love rivals!

"B-B*tch? How could you say that, Veronica? I was only saying those for your sake...".

Tiffany pursed her lips. Her reddened eyes made her seem so pitiable.

"As if that would stop the world from revolving around you! Also, stop saying sh*t like 'for your sake this, for your sake that. If it's really for my sake, then get the hell away from me. Don't soil the path I'm about to tread on and pollute the scenery I'm about to glimpse." Veronica did not pull her punches.

Beside her was Xavier, who tacitly nodded. "Yup, even your breath smells like a what's that?-right, a pretentious b*tch!"

Hearing his insult, Veronica could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing. He's done it!

Tiffany, contrastingly, teared up and miserably whimpered. She lowered her head and spoke not another word.

Despite not wanting to participate in the verbal war, Matthew felt somewhat irritated by how synergetic Veronica and Xavier were, and the fact that she was so happy with him. "Since Mr. Crawford can't stand the smell here, I guess you shouldn't tarry any longer. Farewell." He explicitly requested for Xavier to leave. Just like Veronica to Tiffany, Matthew had no intention to spare Xavier the courtesy.

In Veronica's eyes, however, that seemed like a fiancé trying to protect his fiancée. It felt rather intimate.

Disaffected, she countered, "Xavier's my guest. Who do you think you are to ask him to leave? You're not the boss here in Kings Residence!" Finished, she grabbed Xavier by his wrist. "Come, let's go inside." "Mm," Xavier blurted. He couldn't hide the joy at the corners of his lips.

When he walked by Matthew, they had a momentary battle of gazes, where Xavier's face was full of smug.

li was not until the two entered the residence did Tiffany timidly say to Matthew, "Please don't get mad, Matthew. That's just how Veronica is. She was spoiled rotten back then, and never learned her manners." Contrary to her words, she was, in fact, unerly envious.

Matthew was a figure in Bloomstead none dared to oppose, and even tycoons would feel obliged to bow before him. Nonetheless, even when Veronica was barbarically reprimanding and insulting him, there wasn't a trace of anger to be found on his face. Tiffany, as the fiancée herself, didn't even dare to behave so impertinently with her own fiancé, but Veronica, as a total nobody, was bold enough to go against him!.

"Courtesy isn't always the best." Matthew tossed those words out and walked away.

In the public eye, Tiffany was considered the golden girl of Bloomstead. Looks, talents-the gift from God possessed them both. Nevertheless, after having spent a long time with Veronica, Matthew, upon countless investigations, found out that the Larsons could not afford her existence. Tiffany, contrary to the rumors, wasn't exactly graceful. Rather, she was so pretentious that it was extremely detestable, unlike Veronica who always laid her emotions out in the open. Veronica was significantly more adorable, comforting, and charming. If it weren't for the child inside her, Tiffany definitely had zero chance to get into the Kings Family.

"M..." Standing still on the ground, Tiffany clenched her fists as her body trembled out of vexation. The jealousy in her heart was spreading through her body and swiftly took over her rationality.

Die... She must die... How is this hateful woman getting so much love from Matthew? I'll allow her boastfulness no longer! It should be her... No, it must be her who's always instigating Matthew, causing him to call our wedding off!

"What are you waiting for?" As she was stationarily contemplating, Matthew suddenly halted his steps and turned around to look at her.

"Ah, yes. I'm coming." Wiping the tears on her cheek off with her sleeve, Tiffany suppressed her vexation and followed after.

With that, the four entered the residence in a line and went to the living room.

Having heard about their visit, Elizabeth was already waiting in the living room. When Veronica walked in, the old woman sprung up from her seat and excitedly yelled, "Oh, my Veronica is here!" As she was walking up to Veronica, she saw Xavier who entered after her favorite girl. "Isn't this... Young Master Xavier?"

Veronica wrapped her arm around the back of Xavier's neck and joyously introduced the man to Elizabeth. "Grandma, this is Xavier, my tightest Bro! He sent me here today and decided to visit you as well." "Good day, Old Mrs. Kings," Xavier politely greeted the old woman. There was not a sign of the rumored overbearing, womanizer behavior within him.

"Hahaha. I see... It's so nice of you to come visit this old woman, Mr. Crawford." Elizabeth beamed as she attempted to read his face. "I've heard bad things about you, Mr. Crawford, but from what I see today, that's not the case at all!"

"You're flattering me, Old Mrs. Kings." Xavier subtly smiled.

"That's right, Grandma. Xavier is the best, and he's helped me so many times! People love spreading false rumors even if there's no credibility to those rumors. How annoying!"
