My Substitute CEO Bride

Tatiana's grandfather was the deputy commander of the Divine Strategy Squadron. He certainly knew that the Celestial Dragon Squadron had long been disbanded.

As for the Warden of the Northern Territory? Her father had lived in the Northern Territory for over 20 years and knew everything there was to know about the so-called Warden. The man did not have a wife, let alone any descendants. "Ah, you just don't trust me!" Nash could not help but want to laugh and cry at the absurdity.

"Miss Tatiana!!" Just then, Helix and Hogan scrambled up to them, rolling and crawling.

Seeing them and their bruised faces, Tatiana frowned and asked, "What happened to you guys? Did my grandfather beat you?"Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Helix chuckled. "No, it wasn't your grandpa who hit us. Hogan tried to kill himself, so I ended up getting into a fight with him!"

Recalling Hogan's declaration that he would die with her if she were gone, Tatiana felt both moved and helpless. She looked at them guiltily and apologized, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Hogan quickly replied, "Miss, you don't have to apologize. I'm really happy to see that you're fine."

Tatiana sighed. "Let's go."

The four of them headed down the mountain.

With tears in her eyes, Tatiana threw herself into her grandfather's arms while sobbing. "Grandpa... I missed you so much!" After more than 40 days in the illusionary array, she really missed her family. Dallas patted her on the back, his voice choking with emotion. "It's alright. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters."

"Tatiana!" Edmund awkwardly called out.

Tatiana collected herself and then turned to look at her father, tilting her head haughtily. "Hmph, who says I'm your daughter?"

Filled with guilt, Edmund responded, "Tatiana, I've been very busy these past years. You need to learn to understand me!"

Tatiana pouted. "You haven't come home in five years. I almost forgot I even had a father!"

Despite her words, she could not help but throw herself into her father's arms, her tears falling. She used to resent her father, but as she matured, she understood the

demands of his job and gradually let go of her hard feelings.

Her father was a hero, a great hero who defended the country. She had no reason to hold a grudge against him.

After a moment, Tatiana lowered her head respectfully to her great-grandfather. "Great-grandpa, why are you here too?" Rosarch lit a cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. "You're the family's little princess. How could I not come?" Tears welled in Tatiana's eyes. "Great-grandpa, I won't dare run away from home again!"

Rosarch sighed and then turned his gaze to Nash, asking, "And who might this be?"

Tatiana immediately tensed up. She was just about to speak, but Nash beat her to it. "Hello, sir. I'm Tatiana's boyfriend!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, two icy stares landed on Nash. One came from the deputy commander of the Divine Strategy Squadron and the other from the colonel of the Northern Territory.

Both were accustomed to high positions of power that even their gazes carried an intense oppressive force.

However, Nash remained still under

their gazes the current atmosphere was so tense that even the

seasoned warriors of the Northern Territory who were accustomed to life-and-death battles shivered.

Tatiana quickly explained, "Grandpa, he's the one who brought me into Malignant Mountain. If not for him, I would've died on the way without even getting it!"

"What?" Dallas suddenly trembled, his breathing becoming rapid. "You're saying... you got it?"

Rosarch's sharp eyes also widened.

Tatiana did not name the item, but they all knew she was referring to the Thousand Illusion Array Disc.

Dallas quickly regained his composure and smiled slightly. "If that's the case, let's give this young man ten million as a reward!"
