Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 770 Meeting Them Again Back at the hidden clan, Liam arrived at the foot of the mountain and called Veronica, which successfully woke her up from her slumber in Matthewâs embrace.
She picked up her phone and looked at the flashing chain of numbers and recognized it as Liamâs phone number. They had just switched to a new phone yesterday, so besides him, no one else knew her contact number.
After answering the call, she glanced at Matthew and put it on speaker. âHello?â
âMiss Murphy, where are you?â he asked.
Veronica observed her surroundings and still had no idea where she was, so she answered, âSomething urgent came up, so I left home. Just send me the location of the place, and Iâll head over to find you.â
Having come all the way here to pick her up but missed her, Liam was displeased, but he did not show it and merely smiled. âSure. Iâll send you the location.â
âGreat. Itâs settled then.â
After hanging up, she lazily leaned into Matthewâs embrace while wrapping her arms around his waist, squinting her eyes. âTheyâve all arrived. Is there going to be a huge change in the hidden clan?â
âWeâll act according to the situation. Thereâs nothing to be scared about,â he comforted her.
Although his words sounded reassuring, Veronica still felt a little restless.
Following that, the two tidied up their appearance before starting the car and heading toward the location Liam had sent.
When they arrived at their destination, it was already half an hour after Liamâs call. It was now 6.30PM and the sun was setting.
The place Liam had chosen for this campfire party was a lawn outside the hidden clan palace. There was a mountain and creek on the north side of the lawn, which created a beautiful scene. As it was almost dark, fireflies twinkled among the green grass, dazzling the air under the campfireâs light.
When they headed inside, they were stopped by two soldiers outside the palace and were only let in after Veronica revealed her identity.
Right after entering the place, she saw Liam coming over to welcome her. âHahaha. Miss Murphy, you finally made it.â While greeting her, he glanced at the rustically clothed bodyguard behind her and could not help but roll his eyes.
âMy apologies. Something came up, so Iâm a little late,â Veronica politely replied with a slight nod.
âItâs alright. Come on, letâs head over to the others.â
Smiling brightly, Liam led her to the spot beside the campfire and announced, âEveryone, come and have a look at the distinguished guest I brought over.â
The few that were sitting beside the campfire gazed over. When they saw her, they each had different expressions and thoughts.
âRoni?â
The most excited of the bunch was, of course, Xavier. When he saw her, he immediately sprang to his feet and walked over to ask concernedly, âI didnât expect the distinguished guest Prince Liam invited to be you. Itâs been a while since we last met. How are you doing?â He completely neglected Antheena and did not even notice her grim gaze that was filled with jealousy.
âHey, isnât this Veronica, my younger sister? What a coincidence meeting you here,â Tiffany spoke up with a faint smile.
Meanwhile, Zac rose to his feet and walked over with his arms intertwined across his chest. âWeâve met again.â
Hendrey also stood up and looked at her. Though he did not utter a word, his gaze was filled with mixed emotions.
As for Troy, who was beside Zac, his expression remained as cold as ever while he silently stood to the side. However, his dark eyes glanced at the man behind Veronica.
âLiam, youâre so mean. How can you invite Veronica without telling me?â Tiffany bit her red lips while gently nudging Liamâs body with hers, voicing out her dissatisfaction.
Even though Tiffany and Veronica were twins, Liam could feel that Tiffany was overly frivolous, which did not evoke his urge to conquer her.
