Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 106

When the masked man was about to get across to the other side, Veronica got onto the bridge as well. Unexpectedly, no sooner had she walked a few steps than the masked man slipped, reeled, and fell onto the wooden bridge right away. With half of his body submerged in water, he clung tightly onto the wooden bridge with both arms as his umbrella and stick had been swept away by the flood. “Help! Help me! Save me..” He looked at Veronica for help, waiting for the latter to rescue him.

The scene was extremely perilous, and the current was swift. If Veronica were to act slower, the masked man might even get swept away directly by the flood. Having no time to think about anything else, she immediately rushed forward and stretched out her hand to grab him.

Splash! The floodwater slapped against the wooden bridge, resulting in loud splashes. The situation was dire; the current was so rapid that the masked man almost lost his grip on the wooden bridge.

Hurriedly, Veronica dashed toward the masked man and bent down to grab him. “Hold tight to my hand and come on up!” She didn‘t know where this canal led to. No matter where the canal led to, however, she had to save the man right now.

Stretching out his hand, the masked man held Veronica‘s hand tightly, climbing up slowly as she pulled him up. After struggling for a while, he finally climbed out of the water and barely steadied himself. “Phew, that was a close call! Thank you so much.” His back bent, the man stood in front of Veronica and bowed slightly, thanking her “sincerely.”

Veronica waved her hand and let the masked man standing before her get to the other side of the bridge before her. “It‘s nothing. Let‘s go… Ah!”

Unexpectedly, the next instant, she was shoved into the current right away by the masked man!

Everything happened very suddenly, but it seemed like everything was just as expected. Veronica let out a cry of alarm, but she stretched out her hand and held onto the masked man at the critical moment. With a loud splash, the two fell into the surging river water and were swept far away by the swift current. Everything happened so fast that they were already a dozen meters away from the bridge before they could even cry for help.

In the river water, Veronica clung tightly onto the masked man. She didn‘t let go of him no matter how he resisted. Damn it! I misjudged him after all, she thought. She

knew very well that the man had taken advantage of her kindness, which was why he had purposely pretended to fall into the water in order to shove her into the water when she let her guard down after rescuing him. But in any case, if she were to die, she would never let the masked man get away with it.
