Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 858

Chapter 858 Exposed His Identity “He claimed that your husband is dead. How could I agree to that?” Matthew spoke pridefully. “I’ve been holding it in, but I can no longer do it.”

“What? Roni, is he really Matthew? He’s not dead? So, the both of you have been together behind my back?” the furious Mateo exclaimed while pointing at both of them.

“Mateo, I’m sorry for not telling you the truth.” She sighed and gently pursed her lips. “Matt’s death was made up, and I’m sure that Mr. Crayson knew about it, but he didn’t tell you. You can ask him about it.”

If it wasn’t for Mateo, who had slipped his tongue last night and disclosed some information, Veronica would have thought that Matthew’s acting skills were good enough to fool Crayson. Little did they know that Crayson was so cunning and shrewd that he didn’t speak of it, although he had found out about Matthew’s identity.

Veronica guessed that Crayson had told Hayley about it but not Destiny. Given Destiny’s hot temper, she would have denounced Matthew if she had known about it.

“Grandpa knew all this while?” Mateo was disheartened by the revelation, looking disappointed. “A-All of you are being too much!” With that, the furious Mateo turned around and left for Mountainside Gardens.

As Veronica looked at him leaving, she was in distress. “Is it a good idea to reveal your identity now?”

“It’s time.” Matthew placed his arm around her shoulder as he looked at Mateo before saying in a deep voice, “Didn’t you ask me to come down with you to discuss Zac’s incident? How are we going to prove Xavier’s innocence if I don’t speak out?” No one, including Zac, would believe their words if Matthew went to confront him as ‘Iron Pillar’. However, it would be believable if Matthew said that he was the one who cut off Zac’s arm after he exposed his identity.

Matthew’s actions warmed Veronica’s heart, but she was concerned at the same time. “If Zac knew that it was you, have you thought of a way to keep yourself safe?”

“Let’s take one step at a time.” Matthew tried not to overthink it.

“Why is Zac still unaware of your identity after what you’ve done to him?” Veronica asked curiously.

“He was still asleep when I went over. After I dismembered him, his horrible shriek attracted too much attention. It turns out that there are a lot of pros in his courtyard. If I hadn’t gone over last night, I wouldn’t have known that he had brought along that many bodyguards over.”

Matthew briefly described what happened last night, but she knew he had endangered himself last night, although he didn’t speak of it.

As she lowered her gaze and looked at his injured arm, she held his arm gently. “Matt, thank you.”

“Silly girl, we are a family. That’s the least I could do for you.”

With a smile, Matthew caressed her head. “We should head back now. I can finally remove this hideous makeup. If I still have it on, I’m afraid that my dear Roni will run away with another younger man,” he teased.

“Hey, that’s nonsense!” she refuted, thinking he was getting cheekier by the day.

“Let’s go.” He laughed it off. As he held her hand, they walked up the stairs and headed to Mountainside Gardens. The mountain wasn’t steep, and each staircase was low, so it was a pleasant walk.

Under the morning sun, a gentle breeze blew, and the sun shone on the earth’s surface as if coating the land with a shade of orange. Against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery of the hidden clan territory, everything was picturesque, like a fairyland.

After Matthew announced his identity, his heart felt lighter. “This place is indeed a nice place to live after our retirement,” he uttered after taking a deep breath.
