Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 676

Chapter 676 Sasha Kicking up a Storm in the Mourning Hall The news of Matthew’s ‘death’ spread like wildfire. Veronica decided to unabashedly organize a funeral, but she didn’t tell Elizabeth, for fear that it would be another blow to the older woman.

In an instant, news about Matthew was everywhere in Bloomstead, and even Veronica became a trending topic on the Internet.

As it hadn’t been long since Veronica and Matthew had gotten married before his ‘death’, some unscrupulous media outlets had straight-out said that Veronica had the face of a ‘husband jinx’, and that she had killed her husband as soon as she got married. Some even speculated that she was a villainous Cinderella who had gotten married because she was up to no good, and had now killed him so that she could take the inheritance.

Despite all that, Veronica chose to ignore the trending topics and poured her heart into the funeral.

Even though she didn’t invite anyone to the huge memorial hall, there were still countless guests who came to mourn Matthew on this day.

She stood aside looking at the ice casket in the mourning hall, where lay a man she knew but didn’t know his real name.

For a split second, Veronica wondered if she would cry her eyes out if Matthew really died one day.

She was glad that he was alive and well. If he really died, she might not be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

With a hymn playing in the mourning hall, Veronica stood off to one side in black mourning clothes as she watched the people walk in with white chrysanthemums in their hands.

Whether they were sincere or not, happy or sad, it seemed that human nature could clearly be seen at this moment. It was like a magic mirror that showed the most ugly and fake sides humans had.

It even got Veronica thinking that Matthew’s uncles would have come here to start something if it wasn’t because Miguel and the others were in the mourning hall.

After a busy day, the crowd gradually dispersed from the venue.

Veronica was exhausted, but at this moment, Sasha walked in in a black outfit and red eyes.

Holding two white chrysanthemums in her hand, she walked step-by-step into the mourning hall and to the ice casket. It was as though she had lost her soul as she quietly stood in front of the casket for a long time.

Veronica couldn’t help but feel her heart ache as she looked at how disheartened Sasha was, but she thought that the pain was a good thing for the woman.

She could probably let go of her obsession with Matthew after he ‘died’.

“Why are you dead? This is impossible! You have survived no matter how tough the situation has been.

How can you die?!”

Sasha, who was unable to accept reality, smashed the flowers against the casket. She seemed to have lost her mind when she tried to pry the casket open.

Seeing this, Veronica frowned and immediately gave Thomas a knowing look. Thomas then stepped forward and held onto Sasha. “Please stop, Miss Claude. Young Master Matthew is gone. He won’t be able to leave in peace if you were to kick up a fuss.”

“Let go of me. Don’t you dare touch me!”

Sasha was like a wilted flower after Veronica hadn’t seen her for a few months. The former’s originally rosy cheeks were all hollowed, and there was an air of decadence in her haggard appearance.

Shakily, Sasha stretched out her black nails and pointed at Thomas. “Tell me, is this fake? Is it?” she demanded.

Thomas only frowned as he didn’t want to bother himself with the crazy woman.

Veronica was still standing aside when she decided to walk over, only to be stopped by Shirley. “Roni, your body is weak. Don’t go there. What if she attacks you?”

Because of Matthew’s ‘death’, Shirley and the rest of the group had been keeping Veronica company as they were worried that she wouldn’t be able to accept the truth.

This ‘play’ that they were in allowed Veronica to clearly know who was the friend, and who was the foe.

She could tell who was sincere and who wasn’t.

“She’s right. Don’t go there. Thomas will deal with her.”

Monica held Veronica back as well to stop her from going over. Even Ivana was trying to persuade her from doing so.

“It’s alright.”
