Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 746 Dangerous Veronica sipped some tea and popped a piece of the dessert into her mouth. She pretended she had no idea what they were talking about. The snack she picked up was pink and petal-shaped. It was soft, sweet, and delicious. Huh. They make good desserts.
âHayley must have told you a lot, Miss Murphy. You should know no good will come from making an enemy out of me. I can give you two options.â Liam translated everything.
Veronica stayed silent for a moment to play along with them. She didnât want them to know she understood what they were talking about. âTell me.â
âOne, if you want to stay, then youâll have to work with me. I can give you glory and fortune. Two, Iâll pay you to leave. Youâre set for life with that kind of money.â Tanya was a smart woman. If this was something money could settle, she would be generous about the amount.
âAnother tempting offer. So, how much are you paying?â Veronica sat up straighter and stared straight at Tanya in anticipation.
âForty-three million.â Tanya raised four fingers and made an offer she deemed was generous.
Veronica stopped shoving the dessert into her mouth, and she blinked. âForty-three million?â
Amused, she looked at Hendrey. âDid you tell her about my husbandâs net worth? Forty-million is pocket change for me.â How stupid must she think I am to make that offer?
Hendrey held his forehead in frustration and said to Tanya in the clan language, âRemember her husband, Matthew? His net worth is more than ten billion. Forty-three million is an insult.â
âIf sheâs already that rich, then thereâs no reason to take the money. She wants to leave the clan safely.
Thatâs her priority,â Tanya rebutted darkly, but she had a point.
Hendrey mused over it and turned his attention to Veronica. âThings arenât as simple as they look, Veronica. Sending you away is the best offer she can make. You have two kids, and they canât lose you.â
He was speaking to her heart in hopes of convincing her.
But Veronica just kept eating the desserts and even licked her lips. For a moment, she looked like she was mocking them. Once she was done eating her dessert, she continued, âHow much did she pay you for this?â
âA lot, and I wonât deny it, but you know weâre friends. Iâve never tried to hurt you, and leaving this place is good for you. You overestimate the Elrods. Theyâre no match for the leader. You have no idea whatâs going to happen to them,â he explained patiently.
He spoke in Trilas. Liam knew what Hendrey was talking about, but he didnât translate it for his mother.
Hurriedly, Tanya asked, âWhat are they talking about?â
âHendreyâs convincing her to leave,â he answered curtly.
â150 million on top of my original offer. Best deal. Leave, and Iâll make sure your departure is a safe one.â Compared to the potential chaos that would happen in the clan, 150 million was nothing. Tanya leaned back and looked at Veronica coldly. âStay, and youâll lose more than you gain.â
