My Substitute CEO Bride

Elrog did not offer further explanations. The sales department had tampered with the system so that the first 20 villas could only be made available after the ten invitation cards Hera held were used up. Hera bought Villa No. 1, which was at the peak before helping her father buy Villa No. 2, which was also at the peak. She initially wanted to help Yasmin buy Villa No. 3 but then realized that the interface for Villa No. 3 was grayed out, and so was Villa No. 4.

"Oh well. Yasmin, you guys will live in Villa No. 5, then!" Hera then grabbed her phone without saying anything and began going through the motions.

Yasmin's eyes widened. "Ms. Lewis, I—"

Hera pinched Yasmin's face. "Your mom will be taking care of my husband's cousin in the future. So, you guys have to stick close!"

Margaret asked confusedly, "Mr. Calcraft's cousin?"

Hera replied while helping Yasmin with the registration account, "Exactly. Nash has a cousin. He's the one my mother is carrying right now. My parents are busy, so we'll hire you to take care of him."

This was one reason, and the other was that Yasmin and Derek were both descendants of members of the Young family. Nash had given her 20 billion, and she had taken over all the villas that could be purchased with the ten invitation cards.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Derek had tears welling up in his eyes. "Mom, we can also live in a villa now..." But Margaret gave Derek a stern look and said, "It was bought for Mr. Calcraft's cousin. Do you think it's for you?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Derek's eyes dimmed.

Right, how could he ever have the means to live in a mountaintop villa in Gladwell?

Hera helplessly said, "Mrs. Judd, this villa is for your family. While it's for your convenience when taking care of Micah, it's also because you're my husband's people. So, take it that we're family. If you're still formal with us, I'll get angry!"

Hera's words were soothing, bringing tears of gratitude to Margaret's and Derek's eyes.

Nash overheard what Hera said and leaned into his chair, savoring his red wine silently with a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips. The woman was becoming more sensible by the day!

At around 8:00 pm at a remote corner in the sales office, a staff member informed Elrog that all 120 villas in Gladwell had been sold.

Elrog took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "Who bought Villa No. 3 and Villa No. 4?"

The sales office staff quickly glanced at the computer. "Villa No. 3 was bought by the young miss, and the owner of Villa No. 4 is Isadora Sloan."

Xandof adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked in a deep voice, "Why did we let Villa No. 4 go to the Sloan family?"

Elrog extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table and chuckled. "She's the daughter of the Lord of Henley, after all. We have to show respect, and haven't you noticed how close she is with that woman from Universal Group?"

Xandof nodded and then asked the sales staff, "Is there an Eva Sonders among the owners?"

Elrog was slightly taken aback and looked at Xandof in astonishment, wondering what he was up to. Did he not know that she was the woman he had his eyes on? "Miss Eva Sonders has Villa No. 9," the sales staff answered.

Elrog's brows furrowed. "Why are you inquiring about Eva?"

Xandof smiled gently. "I find the woman interesting."

Elrog suddenly threw a punch. "To hell with it, I saw that woman first!"

Xandof took off his glasses and spat a mix of blood and saliva onto the ground. He then clenched his fist and aimed a punch at Elrog's face.

The kitchen had started serving up the dishes. Everyone who had & secured a villa was now neighbors, and the wealthy from both Eastjon and Jonford began to clink glasses and exchange toasts.

A high-ranking official from Northway Real Estate hurried to Rosella's side and said, "Miss, Mr. Elrog and Mr. Xandof are fighting!

You'd better go check it out!"
