My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1278

“Were you eavesdropping on our meeting?”

Theo raised an eyebrow.

Gabriel said exasperatedly, “Have you forgotten who we are? Why would we resort to eavesdropping on meetings?”

Maverick did not beat about the bush and gazed into Theo’s eyes intently as he said, “Nash wants to fight the Southern Martial Alliance, doesn’t he, Mr. Skye? We’d be happy to give him a helping

hand!”

A solemn expression settled across Theo’s features. “You should think this through carefully. The Southern Martial Alliance is extremely powerful, and it’s highly likely you’ll die!”

Mystique Loyalty Realm experts were extremely valuable assets no matter where they went.

Despite the fact that Gabriel and Maverick could both be accompanied by two Mystique Loyalty Realm experts wherever they went, there was no way there were more than five Mystique Loyalty Realm experts in their families.

Gabriel chuckled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Skye. We’ve already discussed everything last night. My grandfather works for the Capiton government, and he’s not a fan of the establishment of the Southern Martial Alliance either.

“If Nash is willing to take the lead, the Zuniga family would be happy to help however we can!”

Maverick added in a low voice, “Gabriel is right. We may be businessmen, but we know of the happenings in the world of martial arts as well. The Southern Martial Alliance should not exist!”

Theo felt touched by the sentiments they expressed. “I’ve made some wonderful friends!”

There were over a dozen heirs who hailed from Capiton’s various elite families, but only a select few he felt he could see eye–to–eye with.

If their morals were askew, he would not bother getting to know them even if they were a member

of the Petro family.

Maverick turned to the two men standing beside him and said, “Why don’t you head on inside, Mr. Sachs and Mr. Gonzalez? From today onward, you’ll report to Mr. Calcraft and do his bidding!”

“Please stay in your hotel room and refrain from going anywhere, Young Sir!”

Peniel Sachs turned and headed into the room with Mario Gonzales after he finished his sentence.

Gabriel also turned to his men and said, “You should head in as well, third and fifth Zuniga elders!”

The third and fifth Zuniga elders were both martial artists who had been trained by the Zuniga

family.

They obeyed every command Gabriel gave them.

The minute he finished his sentence, they headed into the room without hesitation.

Just then, Isadora appeared in the corridor with the four Mystique Loyalty Realm experts from her family.

Gabriel said in surprise, “Wow, you’re amazing, Mr. Skye. How did you manage to get even Isadora on your side?”

Theo chuckled. “You think much too highly of me. I don’t know her very well and have not approached her to ask for her help!”

Maverick grinned. “I have a feeling Isadora is willing to loan her men because she wants to butter Nash up!”

The three chattered among themselves as they gave Isadora long, meaningful looks.

Isadora was wearing a white–colored, form–fitting dress that accentuated her curves perfectly.

She had a stern expression on her face that discouraged anyone from trying to talk to her.

A refreshing scent entered their noses as she approached the door.

Theo gulped, a goofy smile appearing on his face as he asked, “Are you here to speak to Nash,

Ms. Sloan?”

Gabriel rolled his eyes. “Did you think she’s here to speak to you?”

Theo glared at Gabriel. Why did he feel the need to be so snarky?

Oh well. There was nothing he could do since it was Gabriel the one being snarky.

He hurriedly made way for her as he said respectfully, “This way, Ms. Sloan!”

Isadora shook her head and said, “I’ll pass from heading inside. I heard Mr. Calcraft is fighting the

Southern Martial Alliance today, and the Sloan family of Henley City would like to lend a helping

hand!”

Nash appeared at the door. He had not been expecting Isadora to lend him her men, and feelings of guilt washed over him when he recalled how much money he had charged her the previous day.

“This is a huge favor, Ms. Sloan!”

Isadora leaned forward slightly, her large eyes blinking slowly as she said, “You’ll have to think long and hard about how you want to repay me!”

3/3

Theo chuckled. “That discussion can wait another day. Let’s not take Nash away from his meeting any longer!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gabriel nodded in agreement. “Yes, let’s discuss this some other day!”

Maverick also chuckled when he realized what was going on. “Yes, exactly. Discuss this some other day!”

Isadora knew what they were hinting at and blushed furiously as she glared at them. “If you have nothing nice to say, then just shut up!”

She turned and fled after saying that.

The only reason she had flirted with Nash was because she had heard he was not someone driven by lust.

Having never flirted with men before, she had not expected herself to be offended by what those three jerks said.

Nash chuckled as he stepped aside and gestured for everyone to head into the room. “This way, please!”

Meanwhile, at Mirror Lake…
