My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 850

Chapter 850 

Mireille’s eyes were filled with tears. 

Duncan embraced Mireille tightly and said with confidence, “Don’t cry. 

Tell me what happened. I’ll make your troubles go away!” 

If it were before, he would never have made a promise to his beloved 

woman so easily. 

However, even the Ten Families in Capiton were no longer his 

concern. 

The two walked into the villa courtyard. 

Mireille could not help but tremble when she saw the ghoul overlord 

tied to an evergreen tree with talismans all over his body. 

Duncan said softly, “Don’t be afraid, he won’t hurt you!” 

They went into the living room. 

Mireille saw Boris sprawled on the table and Peter lying on t 

with half-closed eyes. 

In the previous phone call, Angelica mentioned there were three 

experts in Duncan’s family. They should be these three. 

“Tell me what happened. Who is your grandfather forcing you to 

marry?” 

Duncan helped Mireille sit on the sofa and asked softly. 

Mireille sniffed as she made up a lie about her grandfather forcing 

her to marry Larry. 

Duncan narrowed his eyes slightly. “What century are we in now? Do 

the elders still have the final say in marriage matters?” 

While talking, Duncan kept paying attention to Mireille’s face. 

In fact, he did not believe Mireille. 

He had captured Mireille before and expressed his love for her, but she merely sneered at him and even ran away secretly. 

Now that she came up to him abruptly, it made him even more 

suspicious. 

Mireille burst into tears and said, “Since I was little… my grandpa would always listen to me, but he almost hit me because of this 

marriage!” 

Duncan felt distressed to see Mireille crying sadly, but he could not believe her easily. 

“Burp… Cheers…” 

Peter suddenly opened his eyes and burped, staring straight at Mireille. 

Mireille trembled slightly and quickly lowered her head. 

Peter fell off the chair. While sprawled on the ground, he started snoring. 

Duncan turned his head and looked at the bodyguards. “Help them to their rooms to rest!” 

Several bodyguards stepped forward and picked up the three men. 

Champendan 

Duncan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He stared at Mireille with his dark eyes with a smirk on his face. He asked, “Was it Nash who asked you to come?” 

Today, Peter took away the Eight-Part Scepter that Nash wanted, and tomorrow was the day of the duel between Nash and The Swordsman. 

Nash must be eager to retrieve the Eight-Part Scepter. He knew that 

Duncan liked Mireille, so he asked Mireille to steal the Eight-Part 

Scepter. 

Mireille looked at Duncan in confusion and asked, “Why would Nash 

come look for me?” 

Duncan crossed his legs and said with an evil smile, “He asked you to 

get the Eight-Part Scepter!” 

“I don’t know what that is!” 

Mireille shook her head. 

Then, she stood up and said, “It’s getting late. I have to go home!” 

She then walked out the door. 

Duncan was too cautious. 

He had even figured out her purpose. 

She would be exposed sooner or later if she kept pushing it. 

“Wait a minute…” 

Duncan suddenly called out. 

Mireille was stunned at the door.
