My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 

Claude clutched his chest, taking a while to catch his breath. 

A few of his underlings rushed over, scrambling to help him up. 

“Oli… It’s this bastard! Even after seeing you arrive, he still dares to lay his hands on me… Look… my jaw got dislocated…” 

Claude pointed to his cheek in pain. The left side of his cheekbone was noticeably indented. 

“Shut up!” 

Olivia slapped him across the face. 

Claude spat out a mouthful of blood from the impact. Darkness clouded his vision, and his ears 

rang. 

“Oli… why…” 

Claude covered his face and backed away. 

Then, he looked toward several of the family’s great-grandmasters. “You people… attack this instant!” 

The two elderly figures lowered their heads. 

As core members of the Lees, they were aware of some of Nash’s secrets. 

The overwhelming aura that came from being in the Profound Reality Realm had them struggling to breathe. 

“Nash… he’s my cousin… Can… Can you spare him a little…” 

Olivia stammered. 

She would rather Claude offend the governor of Jonford than Nash, the man known for annihilating the Green Bamboo Association! 

“You ought to rein him in!” 

Nash glanced at Claude. “If it weren’t for the Lees’ sake, he wouldn’t even be standing now!” 

Olivia grinned. “Thank you, Nash. I’ll make sure to discipline him when we get back.” 

She then looked at the sleeve of Nash’s right arm. “Nash, what happened here?” 

“It’s nothing, just a minor scratch.” 

Nash dismissed her query. 

Olivia turned her fierce gaze back to Claude. “I’ll deal with you when we get back…” 

Claude’s legs weakened from fear. 

His cousin did not pamper him like his uncle did. 

Her husband was the son of the Skyes, giving her a high status in the family. 

No one would stop her from taking action against Claude. 

At that moment, Angelica entered with several inspectors. 

Upon seeing Olivia and the battered Claude, she could guess what had transpired. 

“Mr. Calcraft… was it you who called earlier?” 

“Yes, there’s something suspicious about this girl’s father… I suggest you investigate,” Nash said, pointing to the dazed Luna beside him. 

Luna tremblingly defended, saying, “My… My father isn’t suspicious!” 

Regardless of his actions, he was still her father. 

That was why she had not reported him. 

Moreover, her father was not always like this. After her gold-digging mother left him for a wealthier man, he went down the wrong path. 

Angelica could naturally sense that Luna was protecting her father. She sternly said, “If your father has indeed committed illegal actions and you’re covering for him, you’ll be charged with aiding and abetting!” 

Luna bit her lip and shuddered.
