Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 126
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Ai the sight of the scene, Yvonne compressed her lips into a smile. âThatâs what I like about you.
Youâre frank.â She picked up her handbag and took a check out of it. âHereâs a check of 500,000. As lon g as youâre able to help me ask Matthew out, this will be yours. If you can help me collaborate with the
Spinfluence Group, Iâll pay you another one million.â In total, the reward would be 1.5 million.
Veronicaâs eyes instantly shone with greed. She straightened up, asking, âWill you keep your word?â To think that someone is offering me money right when Iâm short of money! God is really smiling upon me, she thought. She had been guessing Yvonneâs identity at first, but now it seemed that the latter was ap parently not interested in her. Instead, Matthew was the one Yvonne was actually interested in. After all, with the Kingsesâ current social standing, many would scramble to collaborate with them.
âOf course!â Yvonne curled her lips into a smile.
Veronica darted a look at the check on the table. After some deliberation, though, she shook her head,
saying, âWith Honeycloud Cosmeticsâ current standing, as long as you guys collaborate with the Spinflu ence Group, youâll no longer be a thirdâ
rate cosmetic brand that depends on social media to promote and sell your products as you currently ar e. Instead, youâll instantly join the ranks of the firstâ
rate brands. So, Iâm afraid itâs not sincere enough to offer such an amount of money.â She didnât know
much about Honeycloud Cosmetics, but she knew that its products were most widely promoted on Inst agram Stories. Furthermore, Honeycloud Cosmetics cared a lot about its brand image, and it kept coun tless buyers coming back for more by putting a great deal of effort into the quality of its products.
âName your price then,â Yvonne replied without hesitation.
Veronica pondered for a moment. Then, she put out her left hand and held up three fingers.
âDeal,â Yvonne readily agreed without thinking.
âCan I go back on it? You agreed so readily.â Veronica suddenly regretted it a little. She couldnât help thi nking that the threeâ
million sum that she asked for was too little. Otherwise, why would Yvonne agree to her demand so rea dily? âI can promise you, but you must give my necklace back to me.â She didnât like wearing someone
elseâs jewelry.
âWell⦠Okay. Sigh, youâre so pettyâ¦â Yvonne muttered as she took off her necklace and gave it back t o Veronica.
In the afiernoon, Veronica called Matthew on her initiative for the first time.
Sitting in his office, the man looked at the phone number displayed on his phoneâs screen. Even though the phone number wasnât on his phoneâs list of contacts, the familiar number had already been engrave d in his mind. He answered the phone, saying, âWhatâs up? Wanna come back already?â .
On this end of the line, Veronica thought for a moment while glancing hesitantly at Yvonne, who was sit ting across from her. Itâs three million! Itâs all money.
Iâve got to reap every penny I could from Matthew, she thought. âUhâhuh.â
She didnât say anything, but she heard the man on the other end let out a chuckle. He asked, âAre you
hungry? Let me treat you to lunch.â
âAlright. Letâs meet up at Philâs Restaurant then.â
âOkay,â Matthew agreed without hesitation.
Veronica hung up while looking at Yvonne, who was sitting across from her, with a cheeky grin. âDonât y ou want to get to know Matthew?
Pay me another one million, and Iâll let you stay in Matthewâs home. How about it?â
âIn that case, what about 800,000?â
âThatâs too expensive.â
â700,000?â
âThatâs expensive.â
âWhat about 500,000? 500,000 is my bottom price. It all depends on whether you cherish this opportuni ty or not. Who knows? Maybe you could establish a longâ
time business partnership with the Kings Family.â
âHm, you have a point. Alright then, 500,000 it is,â Yvonne replied.
Veronicaâs lips curled into a meaningful smile as she lowered her head to drink coffee.
OC An hour later, Veronica and Yvonne were sitting in Philâs Restaurantâs private room while waiting silently .
Soon Mathew showed up at the private roomâs door. As soon as he came in, he douced Yvonne.
Seeing the man coming in, Yvonne immediately stood up and greeted him, saying, âNice to meet you,
President Kings.â
Matthew gave her a slight nod while seating himself across from the two. âHave you been waiting for a long time?â He darted a glance at Veronica w ith what seemed like a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Veronica turned a blind eye to this, though. âIâm hungry, so letâs order our meal. Iâm gonna eat whatever âs the best and expensive.â F*ck, it pisses me off to think that this *sshole molested me yesterday.
âOkay,â Matthew replied while pressing the call button on the table.
The waitress came in, saying, âHi, ladies and gentleman. What would you like to order:
âPlease give us two servings of the most expensive single set meals,â Matthew replied, before raising his eyes to look at Yvonne. âWhat would you like to eat, Miss Spencer?â
âIâm fine with anything,â Yvonne replied with a polite smile. Then, she said to the waitress, âJust give me a cacio e pepe and a French steak.â
The waitress jotted down their orders. âPlease wait a moment, ladies and gentleman.â With that, she tur ned around and left the private room.
The private room slowly quieted down.
Finding a subject, Yvonne teased, âItâs really enviable that youâre on good terms with President Kings,
Roni.â
âStop flattering me. Heâs my godbrother, so just treat him as one of us.â Veronica picked up the glass of drinking water on the table and took a sip from it while casting a sidelong glance at Matthew with repressed anger.
âOh, no wonder.â Yvonne nodded repeatedly. Then, she said to Matthew, âPresident Kings, you must be âUhâ
huh.â Matthewâs manner was cold. Since he rarely spoke to Yvonne, she dared not bring up the subject The three had lunch in an awkward atmosphere that made Yvonne feel incredibly suffocated and almost out of breath. Afier leaving the restaurant, instead of driving her own car, she got Sitting in the driverâs seat, the man looked at the two ladies in the back seat, asking, âWhere are you staying, Miss Spencer?â:
ââ¦â Looking embarrassed, Yvonne threw Veronica a look to ask for help.
Grasping Yvonneâs hint at once, Veronica immediately said, âYvonne hasnât found a place to stay yet, so Matthew glanced at Yvonne through the rearview mirror. Seeing that the lady was silent, he started the car and headed back to Twilight Condom saying a word. I just knew it! With this damn womanâs stubborn character, why would she give in and co After the three arrived at Twilight Clubâs second basement, Matthew parked his car, and the three took th to the topâfloor apartment. Even though the topâfloor apartment was spacious and had many rooms, the study, the home gym, and the movie room had taken up most of the rooms, making the master bedroom and the second bedroom the only bedrooms available.
Before Matthew could speak, Veronica said, âYvonne will be sharing a room with me from today onward.â
âAs you wish.â Matthew didnât say anything else. Instead, he merely unbuttoned his suit jacket gracefully After the door to the study was closed, Yvonne patted Veronica on the shoulder and asked in a whisper, are living under the same roof?â She had an animated expression, as though she had pictured the story Veronica shot a disdainful look at her. âWhat are you thinking about? Heâs just my godbrother, and heâs e âThatâs the thing. Since his fiancée is already pregnant, shouldnât he be living with her?â Yvonne asked.
Veronica curled her lips with a shrug. âMaybe the Kings Family is so strict with their children that only ma
