Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 943

"I'm fine." Veronica waved her hand and leaned against the car hood. With a tight frown, her snowy-white face was filled with worry and despair. "I've done all I can, but why did things turn out like this?"

"I know you've done your best, and Boss will surely understand." Lazlo comforted her. "But sometimes, plans go astray. Who would've thought the people at the secret research center would know about our arrival in advance?"

The pupils in her blurred eyes instantly contracted. "They found out in advance?"

"That's right. If they hadn't, how would they have set up an ambush and waited for the others to head straight into it?" Lazlo sighed helplessly.

"Ha… Hahaha." Veronica chuckled and then laughed hysterically at the clear blue sky. Even though there was a gentle breeze and clear weather, her emotions were still gloomy, as if a storm was coming.

Her sudden laugh scared Lazlo so much that he looked at her dazedly. "M-Miss Murphy, are you alright?"

"What?" She turned her head, shaking it and revealing her red eyes. "Nothing. What could be wrong?" It was nothing more than being betrayed by the person she had trusted since she was young. The person she regarded as family and decided to take care of until the end of his life had taught her how merciless humans could be and how hard it was to fathom a person's thoughts.

How did things come to this?

Veronica could not figure it out. "That's too much. Too vicious." She felt a sour feeling in her nose, and her eyes reddened as she smiled self-deprecatingly.
