My Substitute CEO Bride

Nash was smoking in the garden outside the villa and was startled when he heard Lydia’s voice. He hung up the phone and turned to look at his mother-in-law and said with a smile, “What do you mean Young? I’m a Calcraft!”

“I saw the ring on your finger in my grandfather’s portrait. About eighty years ago, my grandfather met someone from the Young family and there’s a painting of the two of them shaking hands somewhere. That man wore the same ring on his finger, just like my grandfather. The shape of the ring was drawn on the back of the painting too! When you opened the Box of Light, I recognized the ring immediately!”

Lauren glanced at the ring on Nash’s finger and continued, “When he was younger, my grandfather often went out without telling anyone; and every time he went out, he would come back after several days. After the Massacre of the Young Family, he never left Jonford again… I assume that he went to the Young Family Village!”

“Mom… you’re overthinking it. Let’s hurry back and rest!”

Nash did not want to reveal too much of the truth since he barely knew much himself.

Herman had kept his lips sealed and did not tell his son nor his daughter-in-law about it so Nash thought that he should continue to hide this secret. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry… I’ve been drinking too much and overthinking things!” Lauren shook her head, then turned to go back to the living room in the villa.

She felt somewhat guilty as she knew that she should not have pried into Nash’s secrets but she could not contain her curiosity.

Hera and Yvonne were holding a glass of red wine each and tried to convince each other to drink more.

Yvonne laughed cheekily. “Don’t drink too much, Hera! Otherwise, you’ll lose your head later and Nash won’t able to take it anymore!”

“Tsk… what are you talking about?

“Nash and I are husband and wife in theory but we haven’t made it real yet!” Hera glared at Yvonne angrily.

“No way! I don’t believe it! You’re so conservative even in this day and age?” Yvonne gasped in surprise.

“There are too many things going on lately!” Hera sighed.

On the night of her birthday, something was supposed to happen with Nash but some family issues

arose.

Following that, more issues arose which resulted in them spending very little time together.

“You two should stop drinking so much and rest earlier!” Lauren nagged them and walked upstairs.

Yvonne pulled a face. “The night is still young! Let’s drink!”

Boom!

Out of the blue, the sound of an explosion came from outside.

The two of them jumped up in shock.

Nash casually strolled into the villa.

Hera quickly asked, “What was that sound?”

“Finn just fell down.” Nash shrugged.

As he cleaned up the body of the Level Nine Grandmaster outside, the corner of Finn’s mouth twitched as he muttered, “Motherf*cker… how did he cause the sound of an explosion just by falling down?”

Xeno put out the flames on the body with a fire extinguisher and pulled out the corpse from the fuel tank of the car.

They quickly placed the seven corpses together.

Xeno took out a cloth drenched in oil from the trunk of the car, covered the bodies with it, and complained. “I can’t believe this group of little boys dared to come back for Mr. Nash. They underestimated him!”

It only took Nash to get rid of these people in ten seconds.

Finn curled his lips and said, “Why is an ordinary person like you calling the Level Three Great- Grandmasters little boys?”

Xeno froze. “Great-Grandmasters? They’re… they’re Great-Grandmasters?”

Finn took off his sunglasses, folded them, and stuffed them into his pocket. “Judging from the energy fluctuations that erupted when they attacked, they’re likely Great-Grandmasters!”

“Seven Great-Grandmasters!

“Mr. Nash only took ten seconds to deal with them?” Xeno’s throat tightened up and he gulped.

Finn took a deep breath too. “Mr. Nash’s power is unfathomable, especially since he’s assassination skills. He didn’t ask me to show up today for revenge, but simply because he was afraid that he’d kill Winnie in just one move!”

In the living room.

Nash had a few drinks with Hera and Yvonne.

Hera was dizzy and curled up in Nash’s arms. “Babe… I want a kiss!”

She pouted and waited for Nash to kiss her.

Nash happily obliged to her request.

He lowered his head and kissed Hera’s warm red lips.

“Oh my gosh…”

Yvonne’s eyes widened.

She thought to herself, ‘They were so wholesome earlier but now they’re kissing right in front of me?

‘Damn! They’re using tongue too!’
