Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 497 Hendrey Has Been Kidnapped

The pretty receptionist shuddered at Veronica’s hostile reaction and immediately explained. “Miss Murphy, I’m really sorry. This is an order from President Kings. If you—”

As she spoke, she started glancing around for help. When her gaze landed behind Veronica, she felt so relieved that she immediately pointed her finger in that direction. “Miss Murphy, President Kings is here. You can just find him if you have any issues.”

Veronica and Yvonne both turned their heads at where the receptionist had gestured. As expected, Matthew was dressed in a neatly pressed suit and had just entered the lobby with his special assistant, Thomas.
