My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1862

Just as Alexander spoke, Timothy suddenly received a phone call from his eldest son, Marvin. Timothy stepped aside to take the call.

On the other end of the call, Marvin's voice was dejected as he said, "Dad, the officials have also canceled their attendance."

Timothy's eyelid twitched violently. "What about the Petro family?" he asked urgently.

The other families could cancel on them, but the Petro family had to come. They boasted a five-star general and two Profound Oriental Realm experts. The Klein family needed their support.

"The Petro family hasn't said anything," Marvin replied.

Timothy ended the call with a grim expression.

Having overheard the conversation, Alexander's eyes narrowed as he said, "The wise adapt to the times. I believe the Petro family will consider their stance carefully."

Finnegan calmly responded, "The Klein family's residence isn't that far away from us. We interact with them frequently. If we offend Alexander, they might become difficult to deal with in the future."

Alberic spoke up and said, "I support Finnegan's idea. The Klein family has four Profound Oriental Realm experts. Building a good relationship with them would be extremely beneficial for our family."

Frederic narrowed his eyes and asked, "But what if Nash destroys the Petro family?"

"That's impossible!" Alberic retorted, looking at Frederic with derision. "Do you even know how powerful a Profound Oriental Realm expert is? Do you know how many of them you can find across the nation?
