Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 154

Skyler was so startled by Veronica‘s sudden appearance that he nearly lost his grip on the wine bottle.

Matt‘s such a badass! He‘s really keeping the woman as a mistress. Since he‘s already keeping her as

a mistress, why would he drink like a fish? What is he acting so mawkish for?

Keeping silent as usual, Caleb looked Veronica up and down without saying a word, whereas Skyler put down the wine bottle, sized her up with an evil leer, an d flirted, “Wow, what a pretty babe we‘ve got here.” Having met Tiffany in person, they had to admit that Tiffany did have the mild disposition and easy manner of a well–

bred young lady from a respectable family. On top of being gentle and demure, Tiffany exuded the quali ties of a pampered and refined young lady of note. This woman, on the other hand, was dressed plainly . Despite her striking resemblance to Tiffany, she had a coldly elegant air about her that made her attra ctive somehow.

“I‘m asking you who you guys are! How did you get in here without permission?” Veronica asked while looking around, but she didn‘t see Matthew anywhere.

Folding his arms across his chest in a raffish manner, Skyler motioned at the door, saying, “I walked in

here, of course. The door‘s right there.”

“Isn‘t that bullsh*t? Could you have crawled in here?” Veronica gave Skyler a disdainful look. “Who are you guys looking for?”

Skyler‘s curiosity was piqued by the woman. He couldn‘t help but joke, “Hey, babe, isn‘t your attitude a l ittle too much? We‘re sworn friends with Matthew, so that attitude of yours won‘t do.”

Veronica shot back, “What kind of attitude do you want, then? Do you want me to worship you and mak e offerings to you like you‘re a god or something?” What a lunatic! As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Matthew‘s buddies are like him; they‘re condescending, as though they‘re anxious to be spoil ed by people all over the world. He‘s simply nuts.

Skyler didn‘t expect Veronica to talk back to him. Dumbstruck at first, he then looked back at Caleb and couldn‘t hide his amusement. “Ah, you‘re quite interesting, babe. Wanna consider making friends with

me?” He raised an eyebrow at her with interest.

Veronica shot a scornful look at him. “Cozying up to me like a toady right now after talking down to me just a mo ment ago, huh? What a quick change of attitude.” With that, she turned toward Matthew‘s room without

bothering to continue entertaining such a frivolous man.

Skvier was quite slippant on most occasions, but he had never been dissed like this by a woman besor e. Inwardly displeased, he decided to pretend to teach this fiery tempered woman some manners, so he grabbed her shoulder, saying, “Stop right there! Take back what you said just no w, babe, or I‘m gonna kill you.”

Veronica paused in her tracks before turning her head slightly to give Skyler a : disdainful look out of th e corner of her eye. “You‘re the one who showed me how to be a toady and a stuck–

up snob at the same time. You‘re condescending to me one moment and playing up to me the next. We ren‘t you the one who said those words yourself? If somebody has to take back what they said, you‘re t he one who‘s gonna do it.”

Rendered speechless by Veronica‘s words, Skyler was simmering with anger. After all, when had he ev er been trifled with like this by a woman? He felt that he had been challenged. F*ck, to think that I‘d be challenged by a woman! “I‘m gonna count to three. If you don‘t apologize to me, I‘ll mak e you crawl out of here!” he warned in a stern voice.

I Caleb looked at Skyler before turning to look meaningfully at Veronica. After raising his eyebrows with i nterest, he settled back on the sofa right away, folding his arms across his chest–

while watching the man and the woman with great interest.

“Get off me!” Veronica warned in displeasure.

“Three…”

“Let go of me!”

“Two…”

Skyler was still counting, but he didn‘t notice that Veronica‘s little face had darkened in anger with deep furrows in her brow. The next instant, she grabbed the hand he placed on her shoulder and threw him over her shoulder right away with one swift moveme nt, flinging him heavily onto the ground with a loud thud.

Skyler felt like the world had spun around him. Before he could realize what had happened, he had bee n flung onto the ground by Veronica without the opportunity to resist. “Hiss…” he gasped in pain while boiling with rage. “Damn it! Didn‘t Matt say you‘re from a remote backwater place or something? Why would you know some self –defense? Ouch, that fall almost killed me…”

“That‘s a lot of nonsense. Is someone from a remote backwater place supposed to know nothing? You‘r e simply nuts!” Veronica let out a snort. “What an idiot.”

Auhe sight of the scene, Caleb couldn‘t help but laugh inconsiderately. “Pffft…” Unlike Skyler, he found

this icy–

looking woman quite impressive. All of a sudden, he more or less understood why Matthew would be in terested in this woman.

Veronica withdrew her gaze and stepped over Skyler, who was lying on the ground… Just as she was

heading toward Matthew‘s bedroom, his bedroom door suddenly opened.

Stunned, the little lady stood in place without moving.

Matthew was drunk, but he had been woken by the loud noise in the living room long ago thanks to his

vigilance. He merely lay still in bed, but when he heard a dull thud, he came out of the room, worried. H e opened the room door, only to see Skyler lying on the ground as Veronica stepped over him. This wo man... she really wouldn‘t let anyone bully her, eh? His lips curled into a faint smile as a flicker of amus ement flashed across his eyes.

Skyler complained, “F*ck, Matt, you came out at last! Aren‘t you gonna teach your woman some manne rs? She attacked me physically despite me being your buddy. Ouch, it hurts like hell.” Of the four sworn buddies, Skyler was the weakest at fighting, but

not even he expected that he would be knocked flat by a woman one day.

Just then, however, Veronica said coldly, “You‘re home? It‘s nothing, then. I thought your home had bee n broken into. You guys go ahead and chat. I‘m leaving.” Then, she turned around and left right away.

1 “Hold on a minute,” Matthew called out to her. Seeing that the woman was leaving, he asked, “Is our dea T Startled, Veronica looked back at Matthew. “Can‘t you be a decent human being, Matthew? Yeah, we‘ve to play games. But the normal working hours are eight hours per day, and it‘s been eight hours from the “What the hell, Matt? I‘m an expert at —” Skyler said to Matthew while massaging his aching butt, only to be silenced mid–sentence at once by Matthew‘s piercing glare.

“You went to sleep at about 4:00AM yesterday,” Matthew said.

Veronica replied, “Well, 1 did go to sleep at the time, but you didn‘t wake me up either. You‘re the person I was sleeping, it meant you‘d silently given consent. So, the hours didn‘t conflict with our deal. Goodbye!” She turned around and picked up several bags of clothes before However, as soon as she reached the door, she saw the delivery guy from One Piece Restaurant showi Veronica was startled, but she couldn‘t stop her stomach from rumbling just then.
