Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 639 Kicked Out After that, their call ended. Beep, beepâ¦
As she listened to the dial tone, the phone slipped out of her hand and fell on the bed. Veronica covered her face with both hands. She did not make a sound, but there were tears dripping from her chin, and her shoulders were trembling.
A few more days passed, and there was still no news from Matthew. Veronica, who was in the throes of grief, turned her sorrow into motivation and was in the process of improving her emotions. When Luke knocked on the door of the ward and came in, he saw Veronica, dressed in a hospital gown, standing in front of the window looking into the distance, extremely quiet.
âMrs. Kings, we just received news that Conrad held a shareholdersâ meeting at Spinfluence Group to announce that Matthew has disappeared and he will take over the companyâs affairs on his behalf for the time being,â he informed Veronica about the companyâs affairs.
However, she answered calmly, âI understand.â Luke was shocked into silence. He could not understand why she reacted this way. Sensing that Luke hadnât left, she turned around and looked at him indifferently. âEven if those old foxes at Spinfluence Group knew that Matthew was missing, they canât do as they please.
After all, if the companyâs profits are lost, so would theirs. Conrad was injured, but he went to the company in a hurry before his injuries were healed, so he must have brought a big project with him, or it would not have been possible to easily convince those old foxes.â
In any case, Conrad still had Anthony behind his back, and along with his abilities, it was a piece of cake for him to take over Matthewâs position if he wanted to.
As he listened to Veronicaâs explanation, Luke felt a little amazed. He hadnât expected her to be able to predict things so well. Itâs just thatâ¦
âAre we just going to let Conrad take over the bossâ position without doing anything about it?â Luke asked, worried that one day Matthew would come back and there would be no place for him in Spinfluence Group.
âWhat about Thomas?â Veronica changed the topic without replying to him.
âHmph!â At the mention of Thomas, Luke said furiously, âHis brother betrayed us and killedâ¦â As soon as the words arrived at the tip of his tongue, he was worried that it would affect Veronicaâs emotions and immediately changed his words. âThat guy is still being locked up.â
âBring him here,â she instructed. âI⦠donât think I can do that. He is still a major suspect, and if he hurts you again, I wouldnât know how to explain it to the boss.â
âIf Thomas wanted to kill me, he wouldâve done it at Primrose Residence. Thereâs no need for him to wait until now. He is loyal to Matt, and I trust him. Bring him over to see me,â she said once again.
Saying that, she walked toward the bed, but Luke didnât respond for a long time. Veronica knitted her eyebrows, her cold eyes sweeping over at him, carrying an invisible sense of oppression. At the sight, Luke immediately nodded and agreed, âYes, Mrs. Kings, Iâll bring him over immediately.â
A few hours later, Thomas showed up in the ward. He was wearing a clean suit and his hair was sleek and shiny, but his face had a sullen disheveled look that could not be hidden. Luke walked in with him and stood at the door, as if concerned for her safety.
âPlease leave. I want to talk to him,â Veronica said. After a brief moment of hesitation, Luke turned around and left. âCome here and sit down. I have something to tell you,â she instructed, pointing to the bedside chair.
In the past, Thomas was spirited and vigorous, and most likely because he had been working alongside Matthew for a long time, he carried himself with a sense of overbearance as well. But now that he had received a huge blow, he had lost a lot of weight and looked extremely disheveled.
He raised his head and looked at her with bloodshot eyes. âThey all said that my brother had killed Matthew, but I donât believe it. My brother would never do such a thing.â
