Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 494 Matthew Is Extremely Concerned

Due to Matthew currently in between a rock and a hard place, Veronica was forced to break up with him. Moreover, she was aware of Zac and Conrad’s highly paranoid nature. Hence, she knew very well they might not believe Matthew would genuinely break up with her.

She agreed to be humiliated by Quest today because she wanted to offend him and use his or Mia’s help to post the video on the Internet.

By that time, she would definitely be mocked by others, while Matthew would undoubtedly hold his ground and ignore the news. So, when Zac and Conrad saw that, they would finally let their guard down and believe that there was no way that the breakup was a fluke.

On the other hand, she could pretty much secure her current job, too.

“Of course, I’m scared. Why wouldn’t I be?” Veronica stared at Quest in resignation, who had left the place with Mia, and sighed with regret. “But who wouldn’t seize a single chance to line our pockets?”

“You don’t say! Throwing away your dignity just for the sake of earning that little amount of commission,” the salesperson on the side, Lillian Daubney, ridiculed her with her backhanded ‘compliment’. Then, she continued. “Look at your face. It’s all swollen like risen dough. I feel disgusted just by looking at you.”

Veronica gazed at her coldly before retorting, “You speak as if you’re not here to earn a living. Well then, since you think so highly of yourself, you might as well be a volunteer. So, why should you stay around and work hard to hit your performance target?”

“You!” Lillian’s face reddened with anger when Veronica refuted her. “No matter how desperate I am to earn a living, I won’t ever slap myself as you have.”

“Sounds logical.”

Veronica nodded very pertinently. “After all, your worth isn’t on par with the price of the car sold even if you slap yourself so hard that you might need plastic surgery to recover.”

“I—”

Lillian still wanted to say something else, but Patrick, who was standing by the side, immediately stood up and mediated the conflict. “Alright. Alright. Stop making such a fuss. Anyway, Veronica sold the most expensive car on her first day of work today. This can be considered record-breaking in our sales, so no doubt. It’s something worth learning from.”

The two slaps on the cheeks that Veronica gave herself earlier made Patrick witness her resolution: she would do anything to reach her goals. Likewise, it made him more interested in this woman.

Lillian rolled her eyes when she heard Patrick’s words. “So, you’re asking us to learn how to slap ourselves like her? Hell no! I’m not as shameless as her. Am I right, Hanson?”

When Hanson saw that Lillian had dragged him into the argument, he merely scratched the back of his head awkwardly as he gave her a dry smile but didn’t add in his two cents.
