My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1410

“I’ve never needed to consult my father in the things I do!”

Lifting the hem of her gown, Rosella went over to Melody. Immediately, a bodyguard stepped forward to pull out a chair for her. Hundreds of eyes in the venue focused on her.

Melody was a bit nervous at that moment. She had met Rosella once in Xanthalos. Rosella seemed much more humble in Nash’s presence back then.

Now, she was letting her demeanor as an heiress of a top-tier wealthy run wild. Even the chairperson of a hundred-billion corporation was overwhelmed.

“I burned down the Inspection Office when I was eight.” Rosella slowly sat down, her beautiful eyes fixed on Luther calmly as she continued, “There may be things my father doesn’t dare do in Eastjon, but there's absolutely nothing I fear to do!”

...

At the Blancos' family home in Eastjon, the family was sitting in the living room watching television. The screen was showing live footage of the event at Gladwell Sales Office.

The cigarette in Yelzog’s hand was almost burning his fingers. Shakily, Feruz lit his half cigarette that had gone out some time ago.

He was mad. Even madder than his father! Affluence Group was much more formidable than Eastjon Group. If a full-scale war were to break out, they would suffer more than whatever they unleashed on their enemy.

Yelzog bent over and lifted a bottle of aged liquor from the coffee table, taking a few gulps before exhaling and saying, “Old man, you see that? That’s my daughter. Does your girl have guts like this?”

Feruz slapped Yelzog on the back of his head. “Keep spoiling her, then!”

...

In Jonford, outside Gladwell Sales Office, the scene was eerily quiet. The only sound was that of the baby in Hera's arms sucking on a bottle.
