My Substitute CEO Bride

Nash pulled his shirt down and said, “I’ve been sleeping the whole day. If you don’t believe me, go check the surveillance cameras!”

Lauren was stunned for a while and could not say a word.

Something was wrong….

Something was definitely wrong here…

She searched the apartment, rummaging through every corner, but she could not find Nash’s Smiling Grim Reaper outfit anywhere.

Just then, Harrison called her. “The people from Drake Group have come to our company for an inspection. They’re ready to pay a 150 million deposit. Hurry back to the company!”

“Alright… I’ll come back right away!”

Lauren hung up the phone and stared at Nash, but she was out of words.

After a moment of silence, she finally asked, “When do you plan to register your marriage with Hera?”

Nash shrugged. “I can do it anytime. It just depends on whether Mr. Lewis agrees and whether Hera is willing!”

Lauren did not say anything more and turned to leave the apartment.

Even though the man was trying to hide the fact, she remained firm in her thoughts.

When she walked out of the building, she stopped at the front desk.

“Miss, is there a problem with the surveillance in this building?”

“Yes, but don’t worry. The maintenance department is working on it, and everything is expected to be restored to normal tonight!”

“Thank you!”

Lauren expressed her gratitude and left without looking back.

Nash claimed that he had slept all day at home. He even asked her to check the surveillance if she wanted to be sure.

That could only mean that he had tampered with the surveillance, making it impossible for her to find anything.

Such a trick was only enough to fool a mere child.

Since Nash did not want to expose his identity, he must have his reasons.

On second thought, his identity as the Smiling Grim Reaper was indeed quite special, and the fewer people who knew about it,

the better.

In the apartment, Nash carefully removed the fake skin from his abdomen and continued to stitch up the wound.

In a state without anesthesia, it took him ten minutes to sew 81 stitches.

Looking at the wound on his abdomen that resembled a centipede, Nash sighed helplessly. “I’ve been pursuing a higher level of cultivation in recent years, and I’ve nearly forgotten the body-forging technique taught by Master… I should find a way to gradually improve my body-forging technique!”,

A true cultivator would cultivate their internal energy and train their muscles and body.

While Nash’s internal energy had reached its peak, his muscles and body were still somewhat fragile.

If he had achieved some progress in body forging, he would not have gotten injured today.

After tending to his wound, Nash sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate his energy for healing.

Inside the grand mansion of the Hills’ residence in Jonford, Hunter was complaining to his grandfather with a look of grievance.

He was about to propose to the Lewises, but Hera still treated him coldly.

Gaspard Hill, dressed in white traditional wear, had a thick white beard that went down to his chest.

He stroked his beard and smiled. “Fate has its own timing. When the time comes, it’ll come. When the time is not right, don’t

force it… The Lewises have no power nor influence, and that Hera girl isn’t worthy of my dear grandson!”

Although the Lewises had two companies, Herman’s assets did not even amount to 1.5 billion dollars.

The Lewises were still far from being considered a third-rate family.

The Hills did not have many family members, and it would be better for Hunter to marry someone from a more suitable background.

“Dad, I think Hunt must marry Hera Lewis! Firstly, Helena Lewis is now Kai Watson’s girlfriend. You know what kind of power the Watsons hold… Secondly, Baroque has just secured a major project from

Drake Group, which means they’ve established a relationship with the Lee family! Whether the Watsons or the Lees, they’re both formidable existences that we can only look up to. Moreover, the Watsons and Lees are closely related, and their business empires are more than capable of overpowering the other three giants! Not forgetting that the warden and the Skyes are backing the Lees… If Herman can leverage the resources brought by both his granddaughters, the Lewises have a great chance of becoming the sixth commercial giant in Jonford!” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hunter’s father, Geoffrey Hill, had analyzed the situation.

Gaspard squinted his eyes, pondering.

It seemed that his son’s words made sense.

Hunter continued in dissatisfaction, “It’s all that wretched Skadi’s fault… She has always hindered me from getting close to Hera. Otherwise, I would’ve succeeded long ago!”

Geoffrey’s expression turned dark. “Skadi’s grandfather is the chairman of the Martial Arts Association, so that girl is indeed

a bit troublesome!”

Gaspard stroked his beard with a sneer, “She’s just an inexperienced little girl. If I make a move, she won’t be able to see the

sun tomorrow…”
