Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 513

Chapter 513 Released by Antheena

Inside the castle, Veronica lay in bed and tried to take a rest, but her mind was occupied by the events that unfolded recently. At the same time, she was trying to figure out Matthew’s abduction. She had a niggling sense that there was something wrong, but she could not figure out the exact issue.

What was it that was so important to Matthew to the point that he was willing to sacrifice one of his closest aides just to continue carrying out the matter? Veronica thought hard, but she could not seem to get to the bottom. Finally, she decided to approach Hendrey.

That was also why she did not shrug off his hand when he took her to the cellar. Perhaps the only way to figure out what was going on was to get to know Hendrey better.

In the afternoon, the servants served her meal into her room. For the rest of the afternoon, Veronica did not leave her room at all and she spent the entire time daydreaming. Suddenly, she could see from the balcony that Hendrey, Xavier, and Antheena were at the grassy patch of the backyard.
