My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 11

Helena looked at Hera with the posture of a victor. 

The contempt in her eyes grew stronger.

She wanted to crush Hera’s dignity and let her know who the future of the Lewis family truly belonged to.

Nash’s deep gaze fixed on Hera, curious to see how she would handle the pressure that Helena had brought upon her.

Hera stood motionless in her spot.

She did not want her mother’s efforts to go to waste.

Even if she gained her grandfather’s attention, what good would it do?

Even if Nash knew martial arts, what difference would it make?

The pressure of being the target of the wealthiest family in Jonford was simply too much for them to bear!

Even the Mares, where her mother came from, were nothing but ants before the Watsons.

She slowly took a step toward Helena, each step feeling like she was walking through a muddy swamp. It became immensely heavier.

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of disappointment on Nash’s face.

Hera felt a bitter pang in her heart.

Perhaps she should not have acted impulsively yesterday.

If she had not proposed to marry Nash, he would not have come to the office today.

He would not have to witness her being humiliated.

It took Hera a full minute to walk four or five meters forward.

Skadi gritted her teeth and said, “Hera, you can’t kneel… Perhaps you can afford to lose your dignity, but what about Uncle and Aunt? Have you considered them at all? And Nash… do you want him to be unable to hold his head up in the entire Lewis family?”

Her hysterical screams left her voice hoarse.

Then, she looked at Nash, “Nash, do you want your fiance to kneel before another woman? Are you still a man?”

Nash remained calm, completely unaffected.

He had only known Hera for a day.

Whether she was using him to gain the family’s attention or for other reasons, he still had an incomplete understanding.

Moreover, since Hera wanted to take the lead, she had to learn to face pressure and dominance.

If she could not handle even a woman, how would she face stronger business rivals in the future?

Was she going to ask Skadi for help and consult her parents every time she encountered difficulties?

Judging from the current situation, Hera seemed to have compromised.

Nash walked outside in silence.

He was unwilling to witness Hera kneeling down.

Just as Nash passed by Albino, Albino tilted his head and looked at Nash, sneering, “Is she your woman?”

Nash remained silent and continued walking ahead.

Albino chuckled. “You can’t even protect your own woman. You’re more useless than trash!”

Nash ignored him and reached the door, where he took out a cigarette and lit it.

He took a deep drag.

A crisp sound of a slap echoed from the office.

Nash felt his heart tightening.

He was only fulfilling the marriage contract under his master’s orders.

Why did he feel bad for her?

Could it be that he had truly developed feelings for this woman?

Nash squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling a wave of guilt.

“You… How dare you hit me, you b*tch?!”

Helena’s heavily made-up face now had a clear slap mark.

Her rosy lips were slightly smeared with foundation.

She stared at Hera in disbelief, raging anger surfacing in her eyes.

“You’re asking for it…”

Albino’s face twisted with a sinister expression as he suddenly grabbed Hera’s throat, lifting her off the ground.

This woman had clearly compromised, so she should have kneeled on the ground.

He never expected Hera to suddenly slap Helena.

He was ordered to protect Helena, and now the person he was supposed to protect was slapped by a seemingly weak woman right in front of him.

If this got out, how would he continue to live under Mr. Kai’s command?

“You bastard, let Hera go…”

Skadi lunged forward in a swift step, trying to maneuver a flying kick.

Albino snorted coldly and kicked Skadi back, sending her flying.

Skadi crashed into the office desk.

Computer files were scattered all over the floor.
