My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2302

Vizimir returned to the Booth family's grand estate, looking quite dejected. At that moment, the heads of the Heifer and Patel families were also present.

After Vizimir recounted his encounter, they knew that there was a formidable expert involved. However, given that each of them was eyeing the divine position, they felt a bit relieved as well. With an outsider now in the mix, there was no immediate need to turn against one another.

Ronald Patel, the head of the Patel family, stepped forward and said with a laugh, "Haha, no worries. Since that's the case, there's no rush to compete for the divine position. We should first assess the strength of all the contestants, don't you think?"

The other two family heads quickly agreed.

John Booth, the head of the Booth family, agreed with Ronald's viewpoint vehemently, "You're absolutely right."

After all, with the outcome still undecided, the Booth family needed to bide their time. Once Vizimir secured the divine position, John would not care about the Heifer or Patel families.

Zefir Heifer, the head of the Heifer family, remained silent, merely nodding in agreement.

Ronald was not a fool—the other two's intentions were written all over their faces. For now, the divine position was the top priority. The Patel family planned to hold back until the final moment, hoping to seize the ultimate advantage when the time was right.

At that moment, the eldest daughter of the Heifer family, Zoe, entered the room.

"Greetings, esteemed family heads," she said politely.

"Alright, Zoe. Tell us the results of your investigation," the Heifer family's head instructed.

Zoe pulled out a list.

"This is a list of all the individuals currently in possession of bracelets based on the investigations I've conducted. Please take a look," she said, handing out copies to the family heads.

Ronald, the head of the Patel family, was the first to speak after reviewing the list. "Excellent! Zoe, you and Viz should go and apply pressure on those smaller families. We'll start with rational persuasion, but if they don't comply, we'll have to resolve this through the competition."

Both Zoe and Vizimir lowered their heads in acknowledgment. "Understood, sir!"
