My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 3

Nash looked up and saw a woman standing beside Herman. She was tall, and her face was caked with heavy makeup. 

Although she was an exquisite beauty, she fell slightly short compared to Hera’s natural beauty even though she currently had zero makeup on.

She must be Helena Lewis, the Lewises’ eldest young lady.

Hera quickly stepped forward and greeted, “Grandpa…”

Meanwhile, her eldest uncle standing behind was instantly astonished upon seeing her.

However, it was only for a moment before his expression returned to normal.

Even so, Hera still noticed it.

Seeing his granddaughter, Herman nodded with a smile. “Hera, why did you just arrive?”

Hera was about to come up with an excuse, but Helena said contemptuously, “Grandpa informed everyone about this last night, yet you still arrived late. It seems you didn’t take Grandpa’s words to heart at all!”

Hera hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not it. We almost got into a car accident on our way back, but luckily, he helped us out.”

As she spoke, she looked at Nash.

Helena sneered. “Isn’t your excuse a little too lame? Are you sure you weren’t just hanging out with this wild man and forgot about the time?”

“Please be merciful with your words, Helena. This person has no relationship with me, and he’s actually…”

“If he has nothing to do with you, then why don’t you kick him out? Today’s private banquet is for the Lewis family members. Why is an outsider present?” Helena interrupted Hera, then glanced at Nash, feeling even more disdainful when she saw his shabby appearance.

Herman followed her gaze and was suddenly taken aback.

Although this person was dressed plainly, his physique was robust and full of vitality, with prominent temples and a strong aura. He must be a master.

Herman asked calmly, “What’s your name, young man?”

Nash stepped forward, bowed deeply, and politely said, “I’m Nash Calcraft of Tili Mountain, a disciple of Master Johnathan Calcraft. I came down the mountain this time to fulfill a marital alliance with the Lewises on the orders of my master. My master instructed me to regard you as my teacher and father!”

After speaking, he took out the pendant left by his master and handed it over.

“Oh my, oh my. I knew there was something about your vigorous appearance. So you’re the beloved disciple of Master Calcraft!”

Herman was extremely excited. He leaned on his cane and staggered over to Nash, tremblingly holding his hand. “I received a letter from your master yesterday, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival. This place will be your home from now on. Don’t be too polite with me. If you want anything, just let me know…”

Herman was talking continuously, and his aged face was full of smiles. His previous imposing demeanor could no longer be seen.

Hera’s eyes flickered, and she was filled with astonishment.

Grandfather actually valued Nash this much?

Could it be that he was today’s esteemed guest?

“Alright then. I won’t be polite with you, Mr. Lewis!”

Nash scratched his head with a smile, surprised by Herman’s high regard for him.

“Grandpa, didn’t you say you’d distribute the family assets today?”

Helena, who was impatiently waiting on the side, held her grandfather’s arm and said, “Hurry up and distribute them. I have things to do later. Make sure you give me Lewis Corporation!”

Herman did not get angry at her audacious words. Instead, he laughed heartily. “It’s all for you. And today, I’ll also settle one of your life’s major events.”

“Huh?” Helena was taken aback. Could it be that Grandpa knew about her relationship with Kai Watson?

Herman held Nash’s hand and said, “Helena dear, this is your fiance, Nash. You two should go ahead and get married today!”
