Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 578

Chapter 578 Yvonne Is Going to Kill Her Buzz, buzz. The phone on the bed started vibrating again, but Veronica couldn’t see the screen as the screen was facing downward. Still, she said confidently, “That must be Yvonne. I bet she wants to kill me now.”

As she spoke, she picked up the phone, but when she saw Ruka’s name on the screen, her heart started beating apprehensively, and she was a little jittery when it hit her how obsessed Ruka was with Matthew back then.

“Hi, Ruka,” she answered tentatively, carrying a trace of flattery. “Hmph, you’re a liar, Veronica Murphy!

You and Matthew Kings are both liars! I’ll never forgive you!”

“Yes, we’re liars and absolutely horrid. You can scold us as much as you want. This is really my fault, and I accept it.” What else could Veronica do when she was the one in the wrong in this situation?

Since the day she lied to Ruka, she should have guessed that she would land herself in such a difficult situation.

“What’s the point of scolding you? You have to make it up to me!” “How should I do that?”

“Are you asking me? If I tell you how, will you agree to it?” Ruka asked instead. “Yes, as long as it’s not anything illegal, I’ll agree to anything you say.” In order to make up for her mistake, Veronica was willing to agree to any of Ruka’s requests, as long as they weren’t out of the line.

“Okay, you said it. Not me,” Ruka enunciated each word clearly as she nodded imperiously.

Just one word and Veronica felt that she had dug a hole for herself, and Ruka was waiting for the moment she would jump in.

As expected, she heard Ruka continue, “Help me to court Hendrey. I love him, and I want to be his girlfriend.”

A speechless Veronica cast a despairing look at Matthew. Since the call was in loudspeaker mode, he had also heard Ruka’s request.

She held her forehead in exasperation and wished she could travel back in time and give herself two slaps before she could promise something like that. How could she have agreed to Ruka’s request like an idiot? Wasn’t she just making her life more difficult?

The call fell into complete silence, and after waiting for an eternity without Veronica’s answer, Ruka said, “Hello, did you hear me?”

When there was not a single sound of a reply, Ruka thought that the phone had lost signal.

Veronica made an excuse on the spot and lied, “Oh, there was no signal earlier, and I didn’t hear you.”

“I said that I can forgive you and Matthew, but you’ll have to help me court Hendrey, and I’ll forgive you guys. Even though both of you are horrid, it’s all thanks to your lies that I realized I’m not in love with Matthew. In this world, there are other outstanding men besides Matthew. For example, Hendrey.”

When she spoke, it was clear that she was proud, which stemmed from her admiration and love for Hendrey.

Veronica didn’t know how she should turn her down, and she grabbed her hair anxiously as she let out a long sigh.

“What do you mean by this? Is that a yes or no?” Ruka asked impatiently.

“I… I’ll try my best.” Veronica was out of wits at this point. “You can’t force a relationship, so I can only do my best to help you win Hendrey over. Is that okay?”

“Yes, as long as you’re willing to help me. That’s more than enough.”

Even though what happened between Veronica and Matthew came very suddenly and caught her off guard, she gradually let go of her feelings for Matthew as time passed. Or maybe, she had reexamined her feelings for Matthew and realized that she merely admired and liked him.

There was still a vast difference between love and like.

After they ended the call, Veronica tossed her phone aside and sighed, dazedly staring at the ceiling.

“Luckily, Ruka had placed her love elsewhere. Otherwise, she might really kill me.”

Just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine.

“Oh, look here…” Finally, she glanced at Matthew as she smacked him gently to vent her slight dissatisfaction. “Others simply need to give their feelings in a relationship. Why do we have to risk our lives?”
