Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 88

Elizabeth had accepted Veronica as her god–daughter because she liked Veronica. However, Veronica refused to take advantage of Elizabeth‘s fondness of her by being arrogant and complacent.

Hence, she returned the car key to Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, Tiffany, who took in the scene, was burning in jealousy.

She was aware that Elizabeth was fond of Veronica, but never expected that it would be up to this extent.

Just because Veronica had taken a cab to the Kings Residence, Elizabeth had not only reprimanded Matthew but even gifted her a sports car that had an exorbitant price tag.

At the mention of this, the Kings Family‘s status and influence then came to mind. As one of the largest families in their country, they had both the wealth and power, so a car that they purchased would never be one that cost less than 5 million! Although Tiffany didn‘t know what type of car Elizabeth had gifted Veronica, Tiffany reckoned that it must have cost at least 5 million!

Yet, such generosity was exclusively for Veronica, which made it impossible for Tiffany not to be jealous of her.

Nonetheless, no matter how envious or jealous Tiffany was, she had to feign a kind and gentle attitude while smiling tenderly. “Grandma, you sure treat Veronica well.”

“Of course she is my god–daughter. When I become older and unable to walk, I‘ll depend on her to take care of me.”

Elizabeth tucked a loose strand of grey hair behind her ear before she held Veronica‘s hands and amicably asked, “Girl, you won‘t just leave me here alone when I become so old that I can‘t move around freely, will you?”

“Grandma, that‘s nonsense. You are still as healthy as a horse. Pfft! Don‘t spew nonsense.” Veronica pretended to spit on the floor to ward off the ominous words that Elizabeth had just mentioned.

“Take the car keys. It will make it easier for you to come and visit me more in the future.” Elizabeth handed the car keys to Veronica again, but Veronica rejected her offer. “Grandma, please keep it. It‘s no use giving them to me since I can‘t drive. I‘ll

inform Matthew when I come and visit you in the future and have him take me here.”

“I see, you can‘t drive.” Elizabeth nodded. “Alright, then. Let that brat drive you here after this.” As she spoke, she tapped Veronica‘s head. “Why are you still calling him by his name, though?”
