My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1625

Suddenly, Nash noticed a black aura flashing across Ryan's forehead. However, it was quickly engulfed by a golden light.

What?

Nash activated his Third Eye but did not detect any anomalies!

Was he hallucinating?

Ryan slowly got up, preparing to leave with Nash.

Reyrena nudged Gemma's arm. "Gemma, it does seem like he can actually help you!"

Then, she revealed the truth to Ryan.

Gemma did have feelings for Ryan. When she first met Ryan, he was working at a club. He often indulged in revelry with a group of friends and was living from paycheck to paycheck. That was why every month, Gemma had Ryan hand over his money to her for safekeeping.

Over the past three years, she had separately saved all the money Ryan gave her on a bank card. Her own daily expenses were also earned from her part-time job.

She was breaking up with Ryan because her grandfather had personally called her. He threatened her that if she did not fulfill her engagement with the man from the Fisher family after graduating from university, Ryan would disappear from this world forever.

After listening to Gemma's story, Ryan was in tears.

Reyrena said with emphasis, "Don't blame Gemma for being ruthless. She did it to protect you!"

Gemma lowered her head, shedding tears.

When she spoke of breaking up earlier, her heart ached terribly, but she knew she could not cry. She could not let Ryan see through her.

"Gemma, I'm sorry! I'm so useless that I can't help you with anything! I… I'm not worthy of you!"

Knowing all this, Ryan felt even more inferior. He felt he did not deserve Gemma.

At that moment, Gemma looked up at Ryan and said coldly, "So you don't want to be with me anymore?"

Ryan bowed his head in silence.

Reyrena scornfully said, "Ryan, are you still a man? You have such a capable buddy here. He can help you!"

"How could I, a man with empty pockets, dare to approach such splendor? How could I, a man with only poverty to offer, dare to dream of being with a beautiful woman?" Ryan stood up from the couch and walked out in a daze.

"Hey… Don't go!" Maverick wanted to stop Ryan. Such a trivial matter could be easily handled with just one phone call. Why did he have to make things so difficult?

"Let him go!"

Nash raised his wine glass and drank half of the contents. It was the Romanee-Conti that they ordered.
