My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 

“I can’t hold it in anymore!” 

Hera leaned on Nash’s shoulder, bursting into laughter. 

Such a juicy piece of gossip being revealed was indeed sensational 

news! 

Caught up in her laughter, Hera nearly fell off her chair. 

Nash was quick to react and steadied her by the arm. 

“Pfft…” 

The secretary at the side could not help but let out a chuckle as well. 

The faces of Clarke’s two followers had darkened to the extreme, and Clarke himself was seething. His eyes were bloodshot with rage.” Bastards, all of you are asking for it…” 

With that, he kicked the leg of the broken conference table. 

The table leg spun toward Hera. 

Then, Nash flicked a piece of wood chip with his finger, and the table leg exploded into dust. 

The wood dust grazed Clarke’s face, leaving bloody scratches across 

his handsome features. 

Clarke’s display of shattering the table earlier had shown his strength 

at stage five of the Energy Cultivation Realm. 

Nash had not intervened because Hera seemed very happy at the 

Now that Clarke had made a 

ove, 

Nash was not going to be polite. 

“So, you’re actually a martial artist… 

Clarke touched the blood stain on his face, then a mocking smile 

crept across his lips. “That makes sense. A guard dog must have some skills, right?” 

“That’s enough…” Hera stood up, her face cold as ice. 

Simultaneously, a group of security guards rushed in. 

There were around a dozen of them. 

The head of security hurried in, surveyed the shattered conference table, and asked with furrowed brows, “Ms. Lewis… what happened?” 

“Just get these three out of here,” Hera said flatly. 

Clarke smiled slightly. “No need, we’ll see ourselves out.” 

The head of security scoffed. “Ms. Lewis said to get you out. What are you guys waiting for?” 

The security guards were about to take action. 

“Let them go…” 

Nash signaled for them to stop. 

The head of security at the headquarters naturally recognized Nash. 

Since the security manager had given the word, the head waved his 

hand, and all the security guards retreated. 

However, Clarke thought Nash had chickened out. 

He shoved his hands into his pockets, tilted his head slightly, and remarked, “By the way… I heard you went to Universal Group before. The deal didn’t go through, huh?” 

Hera laughed coldly. “Your sniffing skills are quite sharp, huh?” 

Since they had already torn off each other’s masks, she did not need 

to be courteous anymore. 

Clarke laughed again. “Then let me tell you some good news… We’ve already partnered with Universal Group…” 

He said this purely to irritate Hera. The 7nm lithography machine was not exclusive to Baroque. Innovate Collective had it too. 

Earlier, Nash had just been smearing Clarke’s name on purpose. 

Now, he could see that Clarke was definitely someone who had climbed his way up through unscrupulous means.
