Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 231 Conrad’s Appearance

Eavesdropping on the father-son conversation, Veronica felt how unjust Xavier was treated in his own family.

Even though she knew that he was never fully welcomed within the family, she had never thought that Hendric would say such cruel things to his own son.

Xavier did not rebuke his father and instead only fell into silence.

Yet, this only made Hendric angrier as he continued, “It’s you who implicated your sister. If you had stated your relationship clearly with that b*tch, Veronica, would your sister have gotten hurt this way? Even though she might be the god-granddaughter of Old Mrs. Kings, she hurt my daughter, and for that, I will make her pay in full!”

Veronica had seen him scolding his own son on the day of Matthew and Tiffany’s engagement. It was not until she spent half a month with Xavier in Mount Chillad that she found out how biased Hendric was toward Melissa.

That was why when she struck Melissa, she had already foreseen Hendric targeting her from then on.

Sighing helplessly, Veronica did not go downstairs. Instead, she sat on the stairs and looked outside through the window before falling into deep thought.

“Melissa was in the wrong about this.”

After a long silence, Veronica heard Xavier’s rebuke.

His words seemed so weak, though. It was as if he knew he was explaining it in vain.

She knew that even though logic was on his side, all this was still useless in front of Hendric.

This was just like how Tiffany and she were both Floch’s daughters, but Rachel and Floch only doted on Tiffany alone and treated Veronica as nothing more than a nuisance.

Their treatment of the two girls really could be compared to heaven and earth.

Slap!

A crisp and loud slap could be heard in the stairwell as Veronica clenched up.

Then, she heard Hendric shout, “You shut up! What do you see in Veronica to make you speak up for her? She is just a shameless hussy that stole her sister’s boyfriend and is now leeching off Matthew! You better get that slut out of your head.”
