Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 737

Chapter 737 Threatening Shirley Shirley froze on the spot due to the sheer anger Skyler was projecting. Her mind went blank like a broken computer. She was so shocked that it took a few embarrassing moments to finally understand Skyler’s comment.

“What the hell are you talking about? He’s just a friend.” Shirley couldn’t understand why Skyler disliked Wade so much.

She could hear on the phone that Wade was becoming anxious, so she quickly reassured him, “That’s it. I have to go now. Bye!”

“Wait a minute!” Skyler stepped forward and stood in Shirley’s way. “You’re pretty good at kicking down the ladder.” He looked slightly austere, and his eyes gleamed with a cold aura.

“Mr. Robins, as I said, I have something urgent to take care of now. I’m very grateful for your help today, and I’ll definitely repay the favor in a couple of days.”

Their relationship, which had just eased slightly, became estranged again because of Wade’s phone call.

Skyler could feel her coldness judging from her flat tone, and he was slightly annoyed. Yet, he was even more irritated when Shirley left as soon as she finished speaking.

He shoved his hands in his pocket, tilted his head slightly, and rubbed his chin. He looked like the typical bad boy, but his aura was captivating and charming. The girls who walked past him couldn’t help but look at him shyly, and a few braver ones even wanted to ask for his number.

“Wow, he’s so handsome.”

“He looks like my idol.”

“I want his number! Can you help me ask for his number?”

“Forget it! Can’t you see that he was fighting with his girlfriend?”

As the young girls talked, they soon turned their attention to Shirley.

“Are you sure she’s his girlfriend? She looks quite dull.”

“Dull? She looks so pure and innocent! I bet she’s his angel.”

“I like her! She looks so beautiful and refined.”

As they chatted, they walked further and further away.

The words “his angel” lingered in his mind, and he smirked in amusement.

Instead of going after her, he took out his phone and called her.

Shirley, who was striding away, looked down when she heard the ringtone. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Skyler’s name popping on her screen and turned to look at Skyler, who was standing not far away.

Skyler shook the phone and motioned for her to answer the call.

Shirley sighed in resignation as she answered the call.

“I was going to discuss with you the acquisition of Vincere Games, but since you’re so busy, I’ll be out of your way,” Skyler said indifferently and immediately ended the call.

“Sky—” Beep beep beep— Shirley was about to say something when the dial tone echoed in her ear.

She hastily raised her head due to the abrupt ending of the call, but Skyler had already turned away and left.

She immediately became rather panicked when she watched him leave without hesitation. She hurriedly called Monica and told her about the situation briefly. Then, she asked Monica to go to the hospital to check on Wade and consult the doctor and nurses about Wade’s mother’s condition. With all that was said and done, she finally told Monica that she would pay the hospital a visit later.

After she made the necessary arrangements, she quickly chased after Skyler to stop him from buying Veronica’s company.

…

Early in the morning in the hidden clan, Veronica sat at the table enjoying the food and was deep in her thoughts when Crayson suddenly said, “Roni, we’ll be going out later.”

“Oh, okay.” She nodded without asking any questions.

Ever since she arrived within the hidden clan’s settlement, she could only obey orders, no questions asked, and she had no say in anything. Therefore, there was no point in arguing against Crayson’s arrangement, and she didn’t even bother to try digging for information.

“Mateo, you’re coming with us too, so hurry up and finish your food,” Crayson instructed Mateo.

“Got it, Grandpa.” Mateo nodded.
