Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1148

Eviette intended to invite Veronica to stay for a meal.

Veronica assumed that Eviette must have known that she didn't have lunch, so she offered to eat together. However, she wanted to be considerate of her feelings, hence she deliberately said so.

Regardless of that, she had very little contact with Eviette, so it was difficult for her to determine whether the latter had good or bad intentions.

"Sure, if you've decided to invite me, Miss Robins."

Then, they smiled at each other.

Eviette held her hand and sat down on the couch. "Don't call me 'Miss Robins'. Just call me 'Eviette', and I'll call you Veronica. Is that okay?"

"Sure." Veronica nodded.

For some reason, Veronica was cautious around her despite her friendly gestures.

On the table was a delicious feast that looked appetizing.

Eviette prepared a plate and cutleries for her. "Hurry up and eat. We'll start filming soon. From now on, you can come to my place to rest at noon. Even if you just lie down on the couch for a while, it's better than sitting outside."

"Thank you."

Veronica thanked her without uttering another word.

She found it difficult to get used to the sudden enthusiasm Eviette offered to her.

That night at One Piece Restaurant, she saw Eviette and Matthew seemingly being intimate with each other. She called Matthew 'Matt', while Matthew called her an important person.

All these things made Veronica restless.

Nevertheless, that smile didn't reach her eyes.

Her assistant, Shannon, couldn't help but praise her. "Eviette, why are you treating Veronica Murphy so well? Rumors say that Veronica somehow managed to sleep with Matthew and forced him to marry her. Later, she even tried to take over the Kings Family's assets and planned to kill Matthew by any means necessary. She even held a funeral and smoothly inherited the assets eventually. However, she never expected that Matthew would come back alive a few months later, leading to their divorce and leaving her with nothing."

Since Veronica divorced Matthew, rumors had been circulating in the outside world.

Some netizens even directly went to Veronica's Twitter account to insult her, but she merely skimmed through them and disabled the comment function.

She was not the kind of person who would easily be influenced by others' comments. Even if she saw the keyboard warriors' insults, she could ignore them.

"Is that so? How do you know?" Eviette sounded a little puzzled, not knowing where her assistant, Shannon, got the information from.

"It's from the Internet. That's what netizens are saying." Shannon nodded with a serious expression. "Netizens came up with such theories…"
