Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 231

"Mr. Con..."

Seeing Conrad appear nearly made Veronica call him 'Mr. Conrad' by instinct. However, upon remembering that she was now the godgranddaughter of the Kings Family, she should naturally address Conrad as 'Uncle'.

Smiling, she greeted Conrad. "Hello, Uncle Conrad."

Matthew only matched his gaze with Conrad's as he nodded in greeting.

"I've heard about your incident with

Matthew. I had planned on visiting you two during the past few days, but I've been so busy dealing with the affairs of the company as Matthew's stand in. I think you won't blame me for that, will you, Roni?"

Conrad wore a white shirt today and matched his casual gray suit with a pair of gold-framed glasses to give off an air of maturity and sophistication. Paired with his mixed-blood origin, he looked like an elegant vampire.

Even though Veronica had gotten used to Matthew's good looks, she still thought that Conrad's devilish attractiveness had its own charms.

Especially when Conrad was only nine years older than her, but he still referred to her as 'Roni'. This made her feel a bit of affection.

I don't think he and I are too close.

Yet, since I'm considered half his niece now, it's only natural he would address me like this.

"You jest, Uncle. Why would I mind?"

Veronica shook her head.

"Alright now, it's quite cold outside, so let us not stand here any further and have our meal inside." Elizabeth held her hand before they all sat at the table and began to eat.

Out of concern for Elizabeth's weakening body, Matthew and Veronica had discussed before coming here that they would not disclose what happened in the secret basement to her, or she might get worried.

"Roni, what is your current occupation? Matthew and I are thinking of letting you come to work at Spinfluence Group. What's your opinion on this?"

Elizabeth chatted with Veronica while eating.

"N-No, I'm doing fine at my company."

Slurping the mushroom soup, Veronica shook her head vehemently. "Grandma, I have my own job. I don't need to go to Spinfluence to work."

She did not want to see Matthew every day because she thought it would be depressing.

Besides, she was managing a bridal company with over twenty employees, so she needed to stay there and continue developing her career.

This was all so that when her company got big enough, she could open a branch in her hometown, and then she could finally go back and keep her foster parents company.

"That's nice. When you're thinking of quitting, just tell me or Matthew. We'll arrange a job for you at the company. You can treat it as training as well."

Elizabeth tapped on the back of Veronica's hand and smiled kindly.

"Mother's suggestion is not bad." Conrad also agreed with Elizabeth before he continued, "If you don't want to work at Matthew's company, you can also come to mine."

Even though Matthew was set as the current president of Spinfluence Group, nobody could predict who would come to control it in the future.

As for Conrad, he had also set up his own company that was doing fine thanks to the support of Spinfluence Group.

"Thank you, Grandma and Uncle Conrad."

Veronica then raised her glass of juice before toasting Elizabeth and Conrad while smiling brightly.

Yet, she knew deep inside that working at Spinfluence Group was not an option. As for Conrad's company, it was a more dangerous choice that one must not approach.

It was just that she still had to agree to this to keep up appearances.

Veronica looked like a country bumpkin as she was shocked by every detail of the place.

It would be nice if I also had this kind

of money.

"Pick a room that you like. You can live here from now on," said Matthew, while he was giving Veronica a tour of the villa.

"A room that I like?" Stunned, Veronica pointed at herself. "You mean to say that I can live here from now on?"

Even though the sudden news overwhelmed her with joy, she quickly shook her head in disapproval afterward. "No need. I can find a place... It's too far from my company, so it'll be an inconvenience."

She wanted to say that she could find a place of her own. However, now that Matthew was her 'god-brother', he could just order her around.

So, she came up with an excuse on the spot.

In reality, Veronica had heard about this private estate before, and she knew that it was a rich person's home, which they had invested millions upon millions to build. She had never thought that it actually belonged to Matthew, though.

Yet, it was true that there was a certain distance between here and her workplace.

If there was no traffic, it would take thirty minutes; but if one encountered the peak hour traffic, it would take at least fifty minutes.

Coincidentally, the shortcut to Encounters from Spinfluence was also the fastest way to get back.

"I'll pick you up after work from now on." Matthew interrupted Veronica.

The reason he was staying at Twilight Condominium was because there was still ongoing construction here. With the workers still redecorating the garden, there were a lot of people, so Matthew did not stay here.

It was only a few days earlier that the garden was completed.
