Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

"Is that so?"

As Matthew raised an eyebrow, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

The woman propping her elbow on Matthew's shoulder exuded a heroic and bold aura. "From the moment I first saw you, I noticed something unusual about your face. Although you disguised yourself very well and fooled everyone, you couldn't fool my eyes."

Disguising oneself was Eleanor's specialty and her favorite pastime.

When she was young, she couldn't leave the palace because of her identity as the leader of the hidden clan. Because of that, she had to disguise herself and deceive the soldiers to leave the palace successfully.

Since then, she had occasionally disguised herself. She eventually became an expert in disguising herself.

No one would have thought that this personal hobby would inadvertently help her greatly.

"It's no wonder you're the leader of the hidden clan. You're wise and clever, and your innocent appearance truly deceived the world."

Originally, because there were many rivals around Veronica, Matthew could hardly contain himself and wanted to reveal his identity. Unexpectedly, Eleanor saw through his disguise.

He naturally didn't bother to pretend anymore.

"The world is simply ignorant. You can't fault me for it."

Eleanor turned around and walked to the desk next to the right window. Then, she took something from the top and leisurely went to Matthew's side before she slowly raised her hand to present the object in front of him. "This should be your true identity."

In her hand was a photo, and the person in the photo was none other than... Matthew!

Even though Matthew knew that Eleanor was intelligent, he was still somewhat surprised when she took out the photo.

This woman was not as simple as she might seem.

"I will take your silence for agreement."

Eleanor's red lips curled into a confident smile as she looked at the photo in her hand with shimmering eyes. "Sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a nose that stands out; you are handsome and masculine. Your appearance is exactly the type I like. Fortunately, unlike young and effeminate men, you are domineering and cold. I would be disgusted otherwise."

She held the photo, admiring it while murmuring.

After speaking, she stood in front of Matthew with her arms crossed and head tilted while she stared at his face. "I want to see your true appearance. Hey, can you remove your makeup?"

Matthew's gaze remained cold, his expression icy.

Eleanor had a feeling he would refuse, so she added, "As an exchange, I promise to help you conceal your identity."

She was using reverse psychology on him, making it difficult to understand her thoughts.

"Why?" he asked concisely.

"You came to the hidden clan for Veronica, and those behind-the-scenes people don't know about your existence. You are an unexpected factor in their plans. I am looking forward to the day when you expose your identity and ruin their plans."

She lightly flicked his chin with the whip in her hand. "After all, it's beneficial to me."
