Chapter 1302
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Veronica Murphy sank into her chair and let out a long sigh. âItâs a complicated storyâ¦.
Some things are too intricate to explain in a few words, and Veronica Murphyâs face displayed her helplessness.
âThen keep it brief,â Larry Freeman said, leaning against the dressing table with his arms crossed, gazing down at her.
âDo you know Antheena?â âAntheena? You mean⦠Flake Stratâs daughter?â Larry Freemanâs heart skipped a beat, and his worries grew.
Veronica Murphy nodded. âYes.â With that response, Larry Freeman fell into deep thought. He locked eyes with Veronica Murphy, tugged at his lips, and found himself speechless.
Observing his silence, Veronica Murphy sighed and gently brushed her red lips.
âAre you wondering why I offended Antheena?â She answered her own question, saying, âAntheena is married to Xavier Crawford.â With those few words, Larry Freeman instantly understood. âI see.â Larry Freeman was well aware of Xavier Crawford and Veronica Murphyâs affair.
However, he never expected that such a significant incident would occur simply because Xavier Crawford was fond of Veronica Murphy.
Larry Freeman fell silent. He ran his hand through his hair and impatiently pulled a chair to sit down.
âThis is a complicated situation.â He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and sat there smoking.
âIf Antheena was only targeting me, I wouldnât be afraid. But now sheâs retaliating against Matt, using all sorts of dirty tricks, causing headaches for everyone.â Veronica Murphy rested her elbow on the armrest of the chair, supporting her forehead. She felt inexplicably annoyed.
âYou and Matthew Kings announced your divorce to the public. Why is she still making things difficult for him?â Larry Freeman couldnât help but feel puzzled.
âShe said that because I have two children with him, as long as Matthew Kings falls, the two children wonât have a good life either.â âIs she trying to destroy your whole family?â Larry Freeman furrowed his brow. âThis woman is truly twisted.â He flicked the cigarette ash into the trash can and tugged at the collar of his turtleneck sweater. Then he asked, âDoes he know?â The âheâ he referred to naturally meant Matthew Kings. Veronica Murphy looked at herself in the mirror, and her expression became somewhat desolate.
âAntheena has targeted his company, so he naturally knows. But he doesnât know that Antheena has sent people to kill me. With his personality, if he knew, it would only escalate the conflict.â That was the real reason why Veronica Murphy had killed those four people in the warehouse that day.
âMother Demon, oh Mother Demon, youâve really messed up this time.â Larry Freeman crossed his legs and rested his hand on his thigh, tapping his fingers intermittently. âOf all the people to offend, you had to go and offend the daughter of the Black Ace Mob boss. Iâm afraid not even the gods can save you now.â âIf they canât save meâ¦â Veronica Murphy looked at him, raising an eyebrow with a smirk. âThen when itâs time for my funeral, make sure itâs grand and glorious. At least Iâll have a dignified death to show for it.â She teased.
âWell, at least you have a positive attitude about it.â Larry Freeman shook his head again, a look of worry on his face as he sighed.
The two of them sat together and chatted for a while. Larry Freeman had just gone to find Sam Symons, while Veronica Murphy continued with her makeup.
After learning about Veronica Murphyâs relationship with Larry Freeman, the makeup artist, Xiao Ke, became even more gentle in her attitude towards her. It was only then that Veronica Murphy realized that Xiao Ke was actually a big fan of Larry Freeman.
Meanwhile, Veronica Murphy was in the makeup room, getting ready, when someone knocked on the door and walked in.
Since Veronica Murphy was in the middle of her makeup, she couldnât turn around to see who it was.
She had to wait until the person approached closer before she could see them through the makeup mirror. Surprisingly, it was⦠Mia Stuart.
