My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777 

“Master… Master Nash…” 

Atlas immediately got up from the couch with a nervous look on his face. 

“Where’s your master?” 

Nash asked calmly. 

A strained smile tugged on the corners of Atlas’ lips. “He… He’s gone 

to bed…” 

Nash looked up the stairs, a glint appearing in his eyes. 

Eric had taken off his clothes and was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Clouds of black fog surrounded his body, and there were hints of gold-colored lights inside the fog. 

Nash’s eyebrows knitted themselves together even more tight! 

He had already guessed Eric would be no match for the ghou 

had not expected him to get hurt. 

Given Eric’s skills, even if he could not defeat it, he would have 

able to escape with the help of a talisman. 

Unless he had been so headstrong he decided to take on the ghou 

himself. 

Nash was confident the second possibility was what had happened. 

Eric had a huge ego. 

He must have wanted to defeat a ghoul by himself so that he could 

earn bragging rights. 

Ghouls were chock full of ghoul poison, which was extremely toxic. 

Getting bitten or scratched would result in immediate infection. 

Eric had mastered the Nine Breath Profound Technique, which would 

allow him to gain control of the ghoul poison. He should be able to 

deal with things by himself. 

The fact Atlas was lying to him proved that Eric did not want him to 

know he was injured. Instead of calling their bluff, Nash sat on the 

couch and chuckled. “He must be exhausted from his travels today, 

given how early he’s gone to bed today!” 

Atlas desperately wanted to tell the truth, but he was worried his 

master would scold him. Hence, he had no choice but to continue 

lying to Nash. He chuckled awkwardly as he nodded and said, “Yes… That’s right… He was preoccupied the entire afternoon!” 

Winnie swallowed the rest of her banana and tossed the peel into the 

trash can before mumbling, “I’ll go make you guys some tea…” 

Atlas gave Winnie’s back a dirty look as she walked away. 

This woman had no sense of boundaries. Those who did not know. 

better might even think she was the actual owner of the house. 

“I’m going to use the restroom.” 

Nash got up and headed toward the kitchen. 

Atlas lit another cigarette and began puffing on it. 

Chap 777 

Jesebel was making fish filets in the kitchen. 

She instinctively raised her head when she noticed someone entering 

the kitchen. 

A dazed look appeared in her eyes when she raised her head. 

Nash asked in a low voice, “Who sent you here?” 

A confused look appeared on Jesebel’s face. 

Nash narrowed his eyes as he continued questioning her, “Why did 

you come here to Royal Bay?” 

Jesebel murmured, “For money!” 

Nash averted his gaze and turned to walk into the bathroom. 

Jesebel returned to her senses, and a confused look appeared on her 

face. 

What had just happened? 

Why did she feel dizzy? 

She shook her head and placed the plate of carefully plated 

into the oven. 

Nash walked out of the bathroom. 

Jesebel gave him a wary look. “Did you do something to me just 

now?” 

She became dazed the minute Nash entered the kitchen, so she 

guessed he had performed a Path technique on her. 

Nash grinned. “You’re anemic, which is why you occasionally feel dizzy. Remember to eat more foods that are rich in iron!”
