Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1176 Eleanor's Reverse Psychology

"Yes, Your Highness."

The servant walked up to Tiffany and stated, "Miss Larson, please come with me."

In a humiliated state, Tiffany followed the servant out of the room out of fear that her embarrassing incident would be made public.

"Are you Veronica Murphy?"

Eleanor walked up to Veronica and curiously looked her up and down.

The Haians have deep and three-dimensional facial features, thick brows, and large eyes—particularly Eleanor, whose features are incredibly attractive, exotic-girl charming, and very pleasing to the eye.

She could also speak English.

But Veronica had just overheard Eleanor and Dominik conversing fluently with Anthony in Trilas, which made her secretly admire Tanya Ledger's excellent parenting of her children.

Her three children are all fluent in at least three languages, and even Liam, the least capable, is fluent in eight. Their abilities should not be underestimated.

Are all the subordinates under the Ledger clan as strong as the Ledger children? Can Hayley and Crayson compete with Eleanor? Veronica thought.

"Yes." Veronica Murphy nodded and feigned a smile.

"I know you. You are Hayley Elrod's daughter, and you want to challenge me for the position of the head of the clan, right?" Eleanor tilted her head and looked at Veronica, her lips curved into a smile.

Her words caused everyone's expressions to change, despite her voice being high-pitched and very pleasant to the ear.

Even Veronica, who was usually calm in the face of things, was stunned for a moment.

She was Hayley's daughter, which everyone in the room knew, but nobody had ever mentioned it.

And for a moment after what Eleanor had just said, people were unsure if she was being honest about her ignorance or just acting foolish.

Or did she want to show her dominance in public?

Everyone's attention suddenly turned to Veronica; some people laughed while others were concerned as they observed from the sidelines.

"You should ask Hayley this question. She should be able to give you an accurate answer," Veronica answered.

"Hahaha! It was just a random question. You don't have to be nervous. My mother has held the position of head of the clan for many years. If you were to snatch it away overnight, it would only mean that my mother is incompetent."

She laughed freely and naturally, and her smile even had a hint of innocence.

The use of reverse psychology astounded Veronica.

"Come, let's all sit down. Since you are a friend of Liam, you are also a friend of mine. Everyone, make yourselves at home." Eleanor sat at the empty table across from her, and the servant had already prepared cutlery as well as delicious food and wine.

She raised her glass and stood up, "It's a pleasure to meet everyone, so here's a toast to all of you. Tell me all about the outside world later, alright?"

"Oh, Princess Eleanor. You shouldn't have."

"Princess Eleanor, you have such a great personality. I, Antheena, like to be friends with girls like you."

"If you have time, come to Castron, and I'll take you around."

"You're such a fresh breath of air, Princess Eleanor." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm in, Princess. Your wish is my command."

…

Veronica stepped away from Liam and sat in the seat Tiffany had just sat in, and had the servant bring two sets of cutlery. She sat down with Matthew.

As the toasts went back and forth, Matthew leaned closer to Veronica and whispered in her ear. "Eleanor is not as innocent as she seems. Be careful."

Veronica took a sip of her drink, lowered her voice, and replied, "You shouldn't have fought with Hendrey just now. What if your identity is exposed?"

"It doesn't matter. If possible, I want to reveal my identity today. If not…"

Even his own wife might be taken away.

Mateo alone was enough to give him a headache, so the addition of Xavier and Hendrey made matters even worse.
