My Substitute CEO Bride

Nash was lost in thought, oblivious to Melody’s gaze.

A corporation like Drake Group already intimidated countless smaller families and companies. However, compared to Universal Group, it was like a dwarf in the shadow of a giant.

What did having three million shareholders even mean?

Just then, Walter, accompanied by George and Janson, rushed out.

“Mr. Calcraft, I was unaware of your esteemed visit. I apologize for not greeting you sooner!”

The three quickly approached Nash and his group.

Walter, seeing Nash accompanied by several people, felt even more desperate.

He was certain that Nash was here to settle scores with Kai.

“Mr. Watson, you’re too polite, even coming out to greet us personally!”

After all, he was here to look for Sweedy’s map fragment, so Nash’s face lit up with a smile as if he was meeting an old friend.

Yet to Walter, that smile seemed to be hiding something deadly.

“I came here today to…”

“Kai isn’t home. I’ll have someone bring him back immediately!”

Walter interrupted, turning to George. “Bring Kai back to me…”

Admitting guilt was necessary here.

He had helped Kai several times already.

As he was feeling helpless this time, he decided to personally bring his grandson back. Only in doing so could he potentially spare the entire Watsons from calamity.

Nash paused for a moment, then laughed as he said, “Mr. Watson, I’m not here for Kai!”

Walter was taken aback. “If not for Kai, then what are you here for…”

“We’re here to see your wife, Sweedy Joe!” Xeno chimed in.

“To see my wife?”

Walter was puzzled.

Why would they want to see Sweedy, who had been home since her recovery?

Looking at Nash again, it seemed he genuinely had no intention of settling scores with Kai.

“Would it be inconvenient?” Nash asked with a smile.

“Not… Not at all. Please, Mr. Calcraft,” Walter quickly responded.

As long as Kai was not in trouble, everything else was negotiable.

Walter led them to Sweedy’s room via an elevator.

After some recovery time, Sweedy could now sit up. The private nurses did not need to wear protective clothing anymore. At that moment, Sweedy was seated in her wheelchair, gazing out at the swan lake.

Hearing footsteps behind her, she coldly remarked, “Didn’t I ask you all not to bother me?”

She had sent away several chatty nurses who came by simply out of boredom.

“Sweedy… it’s me,” Walter said.

Hearing Walter’s voice, her anger intensified. “I don’t want to see you.”

Walter replied with a bitter tone, “Mr. Calcraft who healed you back then is here for a follow- up.consultation!”

Nash had informed Walter that he was here for Sweedy’s follow-up.

Walter was touched that not only had Nash generously forgiven Kai, but he was also here to check up on his wife.

Upon hearing this, Sweedy finally turned to look. Her icy demeanor softened considerably.

“Mr. Watson, please leave us for now. Xeno, Finn, you both leave too. Melody can stay,” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Nash instructed, sending everyone away but Melody.

Exiting the room, Walter suggested to Finn and Xeno, “Perhaps the two of you would like to have some tea downstairs?”

Without hesitation, Xeno and Finn followed Walter to the first-floor living room.

Walter asked a maid to prepare tea. Then, finding an excuse to go to his study, he took out his phone to check the surveillance feed.
