Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Thinking that Veronica was still unconscious, the brothers started to arrange the scene meticulously.

One person was responsible for throwing the cigarette butts in each room’s trash can. On top of that,

there was a cigarette pack that they used Veronica’s hand to crush a few times before carefully placing it

at the predetermined spot.

The other person used a towel that was doused in the sleeping agent to cover both her nose and mouth

for a whole thirty seconds before removing it.

After that, they lay her flat on the sofa. Her left hand, which was hanging from the

couch, held the cigarette as they spilled the alcohol onto the carpet with the remaining alcohol in the

bottle on the table.

“Bro, can a fire be created just like this?”

“The cigarette in her hand is already lit. Wait till it burns to the end; then, the sparks falling on the carpet

will instantly start a fire.”

“Wow, you really are smart.”

After a brief conversation between the two, they then left the bedroom in a hurry.

The whole process from start to finish was within three minutes as they had done it with lightning speed.

Bang

Hearing the living room close, Veronica slowly opened her eyes with a hint of iciness flashing across it.

Although their plan contained some flaws, all evidence would have been destroyed by the fire after

As the brothers from the Dusk Family knew Veronica, they could lie about her being a compulsive

smoker and even drank concentrated alcohol frequently.

In a short time, the police would be hard pressed to locate anything suspicious, especially with the

Larson Family bribing their way out of this behind the scenes.

When that happens, her death would be ruled out as just an accident!

However, what these people were unaware of was that as someone who grew up in a village, there was

a reservoir right by Veronica’s house, which meant that she could swim and hold her breath extremely

well.

So, when her mouth and nose had been covered earlier, she managed to not inhale any of the sleeping

agent.

The important thing was…

She had already predicted that the Larson Family would make a move on her. At the same time at the

Twilight Club, it had been half an hour since Veronica said that she was heading out for a breather and

was nowhere to be seen.

Xavier, who went out to search for her, failed to locate any signs of her anywhere.

Yet, her purse and phone were still inside the private room!

He knew about the fact that the Larsons would seek revenge on Veronica since she had offended them.

So, her disappearance made him feel a sense of foreboding danger.

Immediately, he went to the surveillance room and asked to look at the recorded footage.

However, due to Xavier not having the authority to do so, his request was rejected.

Now that he was left with no choice, he could only phone Matthew. “Matthew, how did you teach your

staff here at the club? Don’t I even have the power to look at the surveillance footage?”

Matthew, who was accompanying Elizabeth at the hospital at that moment, was surprised by Xavier’s

sudden tirade.

This was the first time that Xavier called him as they had not contacted each other before.

“The club has all kinds of VIPs coming in and out. Without the proper authorization, your request would

naturally be rejected.”

Not wanting to know about the specifics, Matthew flatly rejected his request.

The reason why the Twilight Club was the club of choice for the rich and famous of Bloomstead was

because of the level of privacy it offered for its customers.

In Bloomstead, nobody could just simply check whether a particular individual had previously appeared

at a club.

This was why the guards for the surveillance room rejected Xavier’s request to look at the footage.

“Veronica vanished in the club half an hour ago. Although her bag and phone are still in the private room,

she herself is nowhere to be seen. I’m warning you, Matthew, if anything happens to her, I’ll raze this

place!”

On the other side, an angry Xavier, who was in a panic, said those words.

As Matthew heard those words, he felt his heart skip a beat as it tightened. Veronica‘s missing?

Now that he could feel the raging Xavier’s nervousness, Matthew knew Xavier was not pulling a prank on

him.

After hesitating for a short while, he replied, “Pass the phone to the head of surveillance.”

The head of surveillance immediately granted Xavier’s request to watch the footage after Matthew’s

orders over the phone.

In the footage, Veronica could be seen entering the camera’s blindspot. When she reappeared, two men

had already held her by the shoulders.

“D*mn it, sh*t has hit the fan!”

Following the trail, Xavier discovered the car that the brothers from the Dusk Family drove from the club’s

underground parking lot.

He instantly left the surveillance room and dashed to his car before leaving the premises.

While on the road, he had used his personal relations and provided the details of the car before tracing it

to the Regalia Condominium.

At the same time, Matthew, who was looking at the information on his laptop in the small living room

outside the ward, was growing restless.

In the end, he called the club manager and ordered him to inquire about the situation at the surveillance

room.

“Sir, Veronica was not drunk at all. However, from the looks of the footage, she was carried out by two

suspicious-looking fellows after reappearing from the camera’s blindspot.”

Hearing the manager’s words made Matthew’s expression darken as he probed, “What exactly

happened?”

“Young master, judging from what you have said, I think that Veronica… might be in trouble.”
