My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1074

“Yes, I have found something. Someone from Deco Electronics bribed the head of the Logistics Department!”

“Deco Electronics?”

“That’s right. I also found out that the person who bribed the head of the Logistics Department is none other than their president, Xena Davis!”

“Xena? She was my classmate in college. How could it be her?”

-Hera’s face instantly turned pale.

Xena’s grades were not particularly outstanding back when they were in college.

She was very introverted and rarely spoke to anyone else.

The minute they graduated, she left all their class-related group c

No one had heard from her ever since.

Never would Hera have imagined that she was the current president of Deco Electronics.

“Xena is under the protection of a martial artist expert, Ms. Hera.

That’s why I can’t interrogate her further!

“Since Mr. Calcraft isn’t around, you’ll need to have people guarding you at all times for the next few days!

“I have a couple of friends who were just discharged from the military, and they… haven’t found employment yet!”

Robin’s voice wavered slightly as he uttered that last sentence.

“Tell them to wait for me at the entrance at eight o’clock tomorrow morning!”

“Alright, Ms. Hera!”

Hera hung up the phone after that and turned to Lauren. “Mom, have you heard about Deco Electronics?”

“Deco Electronics is a chip production company that’s based in Jewell County. The company is about the same size and follows the same structure as Innovate Collective!”

Lauren was sitting beside Hera and had been listening to the conversation that took place just now. Her features were arranged into a worried expression. “Our business isn’t involved with Deco

Electronics in any way. Why are they spying on you?”

“What else could it be? They’ve got evil intentions because we stud finger into their pie!” Harrison sneered.

“Melody, please stay by Hera’s side and make sure she’s safe for the next couple of days. I’m worried Deco Electronics will harm her!” Lauren said softly as she took Melody’s hand in hers.

“Alright. Don’t worry, Aunt Lauren. I’ll make sure Ms. Hera is well- protected!” Melody said as she nodded.

“Ms. Hera?” Hera and Lauren gave Melody astonished looks.

“That’s right. Nash is the master of the household, so this is how I should refer to you, shouldn’t I?” Melody asked as she smiled prettily. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“No. You’re my mother’s goddaughter, which makes us sisters. Nash is your brother-in-law. I forbid you from addressing him as anything else!”

Hera pretended to be angry.

“Alright!” Melody smiled as she nodded.

“Come, let’s have dinner!”

Maria was already in the midst of bringing food to the table. Hera took Melody’s hand and pulled her toward the dining table.

Lauren and Harrison exchanged glances.

Harrison sighed. “Looks like your worst fears have come true!”

An odd look appeared in Lauren’s eyes as she said, “Have a couple of drinks with Melody later. We’re going to spend the night here!”

After everyone had eaten their fill and had a couple of drinks, Harris and Lauren used the excuse of wanting to thank Melody for protecting Hera to have a few more drinks.

Meanwhile, Hera felt nauseous every time she picked up her glass. and caught a whiff of the red wine.

“I haven’t been feeling the best the past two days, which is why I can’t drink with you right now, Melody!”

Hera felt a wave of frustration wash over her as she put her glass down.

Melody smiled. “Why don’t I accompany you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?”

Then, she turned to Lauren and Harrison and said, “You shouldn’t have too much to drink either, Uncle Harrison and Aunt Lauren. There’ll probably be plenty of work waiting for you since you’ve just acquired Innovate Collective!”

Seeing how everyone was done drinking, Lauren smiled and said, ” Alright. Let’s sleep in the same room tonight!”

That night, Lauren spent the night with her two daughters.

Meanwhile, Harrison spent the night in a room he had only been in twice.

In the basement, Nash busied himself with writing out prescriptions, gathering herbs, and rinsing them.

He would be crafting five different kinds of medicinal pills this time.
