My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1889

"Go cripple Hendric Zachmann's legs!" Douglas ordered, his eyes filled with malice.

Hendric was not telling the truth earlier.

According to Douglas' investigation, after Hendric's company went public, he started seducing various women.

He had even slept with several former classmates.

Claiming that Lucille's status created distance between them was utter nonsense!

Fortunately, he had been wary of the Lazadar family, which kept him from tricking Lucille into bed. Now, he thought a simple apology could make him look noble? He was asking for trouble!

Douglas took a deep breath and then headed to the changing room to get dressed.

In the lounge room, Tatiana gently patted Lucille's back, soothing her with a soft voice, "There, there. Stop crying. See, your brother dotes on you so much. You shouldn't have doubted him."

Lucille sobbed. "I yelled at him earlier and called him by his full name. He must be so disappointed in me."

Tatiana chuckled. "Knowing Douglas, he won't take it to heart. Besides, you're his most beloved sister!"

Douglas was infamous in Antaria for being a doting brother.

Theo suddenly grinned and asked, "Lucille, what do you think of Wilcox?"

Having been married for over six months, with Olivia now expecting their child, Theo thought it was time to worry about Wilcox's marital status.

"I'm not interested!" Lucille responded bluntly.

Wilcox's mouth twitched. "I already have a girlfriend!"

Theo asked curiously, "Who? Could it be your secretary, Carlie?"

Wilcox took a deep breath and confirmed, "Yes, it's her."

Theo gave a thumbs-up. "Impressive, my brother. You managed to win over someone Grandpa had placed to keep an eye on you!"
