Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 294
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Still, the fact that Tiffany was an innocent victim did not elicit a smidgen of sympathy in Veronica.
The long curly hair that stuck out of Tiffanyâs checkered scarf and rested on her black coat. Since one h and was in her pocket while the other hand clutched her bag, she smiled at Veronica. âIt wasnât that diffi cult for me to look up where you live.â
Veronica simply nodded. âAnything?â
Tiffany raised her head and stared at the winter sky. âYou think I would come for nothing? In such cold
weather?â
Veronica remained silent as she was all ears.
âI heard that youâre the one handling Jacksonâs wedding. Am I correct?â Tiffany asked.
It was not a surprise to Veronica that Tiffany had found out about it. As the woman herself had said, it w as easy to know news about Veronica since Bloomstead was only of this size afterall.
âYour point?â Veronicaâs patience was wearing thin.
âIâm here to remind you to be extra careful tomorrow.â With that being said, Tiffany shrugged her should ers. âThere, I said it.â She then walked past Veronica without a second thought.
A frowning Veronica wheeled around and questioned, âWhat do you mean by that?â
Tiffanyâs footsteps came to a halt and she slightly turned her head. âItâs as Iâve told you. If you canât pre vent the accident from happening, Iâm afraid that you will have to close down the bridal store in Bloomstead.â
âGot it.â Veronica coolly ended the conversation despite the questions flashing across her head and on e of them read, Why are you helping me?
It was obvious what kind of answer Tiffany would give. Because Iâm trying to make up for the things Iâve done in the past.
What a joke. Nonetheless, she made it a point to stay vigilant on the wedding regardless of Tiffanyâs intention s.
The brief encounter ultimately caused a heavy burden on Veronicaâs shoulders as she even failed to ca tch forty winks that night.
She would usually have at least two hours of sleep before waking up at 6.00AM, but she was awake that whole night.
The morning sun had illuminated the day, yet the winter breeze was welcoming the astir streets.
The team that was responsible for Jacksonâs wedding arrived at Elite Hotel early in the morning in orde r to proceed with the rigorous inspection.
Veronica thoroughly checked the technology like the live sound system and projector multiple times and drilled into her team members the need for safet y precautions. Letâs hope I wonât get deja vu today.
If anything bad came to pass, she would have no place in Bloomstead anymore.
When the time struck nine, guests began to fill the place to the brim. Wearing a gray suit and a pair of sneakers, Veronica brought the walkieâ
talkie to her mouth at times to make sure everything was in order.
The wedding venue was located at the backyard of the hotel. Coating the padded artificial grass were i mported fresh flowers and vibrant balloons that revived the spring amongst the winter wind.
Gazing at the oncoming guests, Veronica felt the pressure pulling her heart deeper to the pits of her stomach. It was because all of them were leading figures who possessed great power
and affluence in the city.
âHey! Anything on your mind?â Yvonne suddenly tapped Veronicaâs shoulder from behind.
A surprised Veronica turned her head instinctively before shooting glares at her friend. âWhere did you come from?â
Yvonne pointed at the entrance where Conrad and Matthew happened to enter just at the right time. Co nrad looked at their direction before flashing a sinister smile.
Veronica was sure that he should be smiling at Yvonne, yet her guts were telling otherwiseâ
he was looking at her.
Even so, she brushed it off and focused on Matthew whose forehead injury had recovered after a month. Complementing his coiffed hair was a pair of spaceâgray sunglasses while the blue velvet suit radiated his dashing looks. With an air of elegance, his presence was magnificent as ever.
Although Veronica was standing at the most conspicuous place at the entrance, Matthew did not turn his head toward her at all, as if those eyes behind the sunglasses had not noticed her. The coldâshouldered woman was displeased.
Crazy man.
The way he flipped out at the hospital a month ago had infuriated her and she still had vet to know the issue. Still, it was understandable for someone temperamental like hi m to just brush her off.
Even if Matthew was not in the mood for talking to her, he should have grown tired of her by now. Thus, Vero nica returned the favor by pretending not to see him too, so as not to seem clingy.
âThe place is decorated beautifully. Fresh yet refined. Not bad,â praised Conrad.
Veronica wore a smile that could be described as professional. âYouâre flattering me, Uncle Conrad.â
âOh, Conrad. Letâs head inside. Letâs not disturb Roni while sheâs on duty.â Yvonne let go of Veronica and greeted Conrad.
âSure.â He nodded and they seated themselves near Matthew.
Following behind the Dame Family were Tiffany and the Larson couple, as well as the Crawford Family.
Whenever Veronica caught sight of them, she purposely avoided them as she did not feel like greeting them at the moment.
âVeronica, the bride is here.â Shirleyâs voice resounded from the walkieâtalkie.
âGot it,â answered Veronica.
The wedding was scheduled to begin at 11.00AM sharp. When there was only twenty minutes left before As Jacksonâs bride, Emma Finley was a hardcore fan of fantasy dramas and it had always been her dre before this.
In order to satisfy her clients, Veronica resorted to a dreamy wedding concept where the bride would make an appearance like an angel, thereby renting the best equipment, as well as some Nevertheless, it did not stop the restlessness in her chest. It might have been because of Tiffanyâs words âPresident Murphy, donât worry. Weâve checked the wires, gondola as well as the crane multiple times. T âYeah, especially the gondola. We had it welded again before this and added another safety rope on it. E âYeah, thatâs right!â
In spite of the reassurance from the prep team, Veronica was still in distress. âJust be careful.â
20 minutes had passed and the host called upon the bridegroom as the music enlivened the atmosphereâthe wedding had finally begun.
Veronica stood on stage, only to see Jackson marching forward with his best men, including Matthew w The host passed the microphone to Jackson and he started to recount the love story he shared with Emma vehemently.
Next, the large monitor screen featured the bride, who was sitting in a big flower basket decorated with v
