Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 37

Veronica shrugged helplessly. “I’m a person who is hundreds of thousands in debt, so this is already the best place I can treat you to dinner.”

If it weren’t for her adoptive parents repeatedly asking her to buy Matthew a meal, she wouldn’t have done so. It was a waste to spend even a dime on Matthew!

“Perhaps you can consider using your body to repay the debt.” Matthew sat opposite Veronica and crossed his legs, then he leaned against the sofa, his thin lips curling into a sneer.

Veronica shot him a cold glance and handed him the menu. “Young Master Matthew, hurry up and order. Eat quickly. I still have business to attend to.”

Without even looking at the menu, Matthew gestured to the waiter, who came over and asked politely, “What would you two like to order?”

“The most expensive one-person meal. Fifty servings,” the man said to the waiter in a nonchalant manner.

Upon hearing this, Veronica became furious. “Fifty servings? Are you planning to feed the entire planet?” He was ordering so much that he certainly wouldn’t be able to finish them.

“It’s not too much to buy the medical specialists who helped treat your father’s illness a meal each.”

Matthew had made up his mind to take advantage of Veronica. What he said made complete sense, so much so that Veronica couldn’t find fault with him.

“How much is the most expensive one-person meal?” she asked in a huff.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“The most expensive one-person meal is 288 per serving.”

“288?”

Then, 50 servings would cost more than 14,000!

Veronica felt her rage boil, but she dared not offend Matthew. After all, she was facing a man with great power. If she upset him, the medical expenses of Saint Hospital would probably be increased tenfold.

Taking a sip of plain water, she calmed herself down, then asked, “Is there a discount for members?”

“No discounts are available for this meal.”

“Then go ahead. And give me another pot of plain water.”

Veronica had no intention of eating. She just wanted to drink a pot of water to extinguish the fire within her.

After a while, the waiter came over to tell Veronica that she had to pay the bill before the food could be served because she had placed a massive order. She tearfully swiped 14,000 away.

With the receipt in hand, Veronica walked up to Matthew and said as calmly as possible, “Young Master Matthew, I’ve treated you to dinner. You can take your time eating. I’ll leave first.” With that, she turned around to leave.

“I dare you to walk away.” Matthew calmly sipped on his plain water.

That one sentence alone dispelled Veronica’s thought of leaving. “You…”

You b*stard! Furious, Veronica sat opposite him, then lowered her head and played with her phone.

At this moment, Matthew’s phone rang, and he said, “Kaymite Restaurant. Courtside Road. Yes.”

Veronica wasn’t interested in listening to him speak, and neither did she care. While scrolling through her phone, she suddenly saw news about the money-scamming schemes by beautiful women. This gave her an idea. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Matthew, who was sitting opposite her, and a plan formed in her mind.

The two were silent for half an hour, and the solemn atmosphere was interrupted by someone’s appearance.

“Matthew, why did you come to this… Veronica?”

As Matthew’s fiancée, Tiffany had called to ask him to have dinner together, so he told her that he was here. Walking into the cheap western restaurant, Tiffany thought that Matthew had given her the wrong address. God only knew how angry and jealous she was when she walked in and saw Veronica sitting opposite Matthew!

Veronica tilted her head and felt extreme disgust when she looked at the elegant and

stunning Tiffany, who was wearing a princess-like dress with light makeup on her face. She even wondered if she would one day hate her reflection in the mirror, since she was so disgusted when looking at Tiffany now.

“Sit down.” Matthew pointed to the seat beside him.

Tiffany smiled warmly and went to sit beside him. “Matthew, why are you with Veronica?”

“She’s paying for dinner and specifically asked you to come over.” Matthew solemnly spewed nonsense.

However, when Tiffany heard this, those words held another meaning. She assumed that Veronica was deliberately seducing Matthew, but he was engaged to her, so Veronica called her over too.

“Veronica, why’d you suddenly think of treating us to dinner?” Tiffany asked as her red lips curled into a decent smile.

Veronica didn’t care for false niceties, so she got up and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

After using the restroom, she ran into Tiffany at the sink when she came out. To be more precise, Tiffany was waiting for her. Turning on the faucet to wash her hands, she looked at Tiffany standing behind her through the mirror. “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

“Veronica, you still dare to ask me to speak after what you’ve done?” Tiffany yanked her and snapped, “Matthew and I are already engaged. Don’t shamelessly be a wh*re and seduce him, okay?”

“What did you say? Can you say it again?” Veronica stood in front of her and asked calmly.

“What are you if not a wh*re? Don’t think I don’t know that you climbed into Matthew’s bed and became pregnant with his child!”

When facing Veronica, Tiffany couldn’t bring herself to stay calm. Perhaps it was because Veronica had a face that was identical to hers which made her feel insecure and caused her emotions to get out of control.

**Very well.” Veronica laughed instead of getting mad.

“What are you laughing at? Do you want to hit me? Let me tell you: Matthew is

outside. If you dare to hit me-aah!”

Before Tiffany finished speaking, Veronica gathered her strength and gave her a fierce slap across the face. “Don’t always treat others like fools. Do you think I don’t know about the incident at Hilton? I just didn’t want to hold it against you.”

Her slap sent Tiffany plunging to one side, and her head slammed against the edges of the wall, causing her to let out a scream.

“Hey, why did you slap her?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Oh, her head is bleeding. Hurry up and call for an ambulance.”

It was the peak of dinner time, so there were a lot of people in the restaurant. When the onlookers saw this scene, they either criticized Veronica or reprimanded her. After a while, the commotion attracted Matthew’s attention.

“What’s the matter?”

The man pushed through the crowd and glanced at Tiffany, who was sitting on the ground with blood staining half of her face. He stared straight at Veronica with cold eyes. “What did you do?”

Veronica, who had been suppressing her anger for a long time, couldn’t bear it. anymore and snorted. “Can’t you see what I’ve done? When you send your fiancée to the hospital later, remember to book an appointment with the ophthalmologist to see if they can cure your bad eyesight!”

“Sob, sob... Matthew…”

Tiffany got up and tugged on Matthew, then suddenly threw herself into his arms, choking on sobs. “Sob... I just reminded her not to stay too long and to go back to the hospital to visit her parents. I didn’t expect her to hit me. Sob, sob...”

“Tsk, tsk. Her parents are in the hospital, yet she’s still out on the prowl.”

“What an unfilial girl.”

“Oh, whoever gave birth to this ingrate as a child must’ve really been evil in their previous life.”

“Yeah, exactly.”

“Not only is she ugly, she has a vicious heart too.”

Everyone was discussing and exchanging whispers, but because they were so close, Veronica heard everything they were saying. However, she had already become accustomed to the ignorant discussions of nosy onlookers, so naturally, she didn’t take them seriously at all.

“If anything happens to her, I’ll make you pay the price!”

Matthew leaned over and carried Tiffany bridal style before striding out of the crowd with her in his arms, leaving the restaurant and heading straight to the hospital.
