Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 141

“Rules are rules, and we are not going to break them just because of you. I can‘t give you special treatment,” Matthew stubbornly insisted.

“Heh, you are right,” Veronica said agreeably before continuing. “How about this? I‘ll have the manager put my bill under your tab, and you can reimburse it for me when you are available!”

Veronica knew that Matthew was a man who stringently abided by his principles. As he had mentioned, he would not bend the rules of the club for her. There were strictly no late payments, no discounts, and no promotions allowed at Twilight Club.

Since that was the case… perhaps the reason Matthew did not give her a discount was because he wanted to reimburse her bill!

Contrary to what Veronica was hoping for, Matthew nonchalantly replied, “You are the one who owes my club money. Why would I reimburse it on your behalf?”

Upon hearing his words, she was dumbstruck for a few seconds before her own temper flared. “Matthew,” she began to chide. “Can‘t you sympathize with me? You‘re not short of money, so this bill wouldn‘t have made a difference to you even if I paid for it. Do you know how hard it is to earn my own keep? How can someone as poor as I possibly pay such a huge sum? You are such a bully!”

“You ordered the most expensive drinks despite being aware of how poor you are financially. You bit off more than you could chew,” Matthew calmly answered, unaffected by her outburst.

“… I only did it because I thought that you would give me a discount.”

Matthew then continued, “So, you just assumed that I would give you a discount without prior understanding? You‘re too arrogant, Veronica.”

“I…” Veronica was rendered almost speechless by Matthew‘s rebuttal. However, she still managed to keep her temper at bay as she asked through clenched teeth; “Let‘s just get straight to the point. Are you giving me a discount or not?”

“I don‘t like repeating my words,” Matthew replied in a cool tone.

Immediately after hearing his reply, Veronica went off on him. “Matthew Kings, you human scum! F*ck you. You better watch your back from now on. “God brother‘ my ass. All you do is use people. You turn your back on me as soon as you find out that I

can‘ı give you anything in return. You are inhuman,” she viciously spat before continuing

“Hmph. I‘ll remember what happened today for the rest of my life. You no longer are my brother from today onward. You don’t deserve to be my brother. No, wait blame me for being poor. It is my fault for not being on your level.” Veronica was boiling inside, and without giving Matthew a chance to say another word, she hung up the phone after venting her anger.

However, her anger still had yet to subside, so she stood by the door and tilted her head upward to look at the starry night sky. With that, she gradually sobered up as the gentle night breeze blew in her face.

At that moment, Veronica kept replaying what Matthew had said to her just moments ago. You ordered the most expensive drinks despite being aware of how poor you are financially. You bit off more than you could chew. So, you just assumed that I would give you a discount without prior understanding? You‘re too arrogant, Veronica.
