Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1295

While Tanya repeatedly emphasized that friendship came first and competition came second, her promise of being able to enter the court as an official ignited the participants' competitive spirit.

In this competition, it was inevitable that there would be bloodshed.

"I won't participate. My father may have plenty of money, but I have no interest in becoming an official."

"Bro, can you participate on my behalf? If you win, it will bring honor to our family."

"I forfeit."

"Haha, it's best if all of you forfeit. That way, I have a better chance of winning."

"The rules look quite fun."

"I want to perform well. If I can come out on top, maybe I can win Eleanor's favor and rise to prominence. That would be great. Hahaha..."

"You and your delusions. You're punching above your weight."

...

As the rules changed, over a hundred people gave up on the spot.

Upon entering, each person received their own number plate, and then the computer randomly assigned groups.

"Now, let's start the random grouping. The person whose number is called will come up first and receive equipment to go up the mountain," Tanya informed them.

Veronica stood beside Matthew, her brows furrowed. "It's different from what we expected."

She was worried.

Matthew reassured Veronica, "Don't worry. I will join up with you as soon as possible."

"Okay. Please be careful." Veronica gazed at Matthew affectionately, her eyes filled with not only affection but also reluctance and worry.

She feared that Matthew would encounter danger.

Among the thousand-plus people, Zac, Troy, Hendrey, Xavier, and Antheena stood together.

"The rules suddenly changed," Antheena started. "What should we do?"

Xavier's face turned cold. "You should withdraw. This isn't for you."

This activity was very dangerous.

Xavier didn't want Antheena to participate in the activity.

"Are you worried that I would harm Veronica, or are you worried about me?" Antheena bit back sarcastically.

Antheena had held a grudge since that time Xavier risked his life to protect Veronica in Primrose Hill.

Although Xavier and Antheena finally became husband and wife that day in the hotel, Antheena couldn't contain her jealousy when she went to Zac's yard and saw the surveillance footage provided by Veronica, revealing that Xavier had met with Veronica late at night.

Her goal for entering the mountains was simple.

It was to eliminate Veronica. She wanted to personally get rid of her!

As long as Veronica died, Xavier would forever belong to her alone.

"Of course, I am worried about you!" Xavier frowned and hissed, "Veronica's abilities far surpass yours. With this lottery grouping, who is going to protect you?"
