My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 870

Chapter 870 

Nash reached out into the air and an apple from the fruit tray on the 

coffee table flew into his hand. He took a bite and chewed 

thoughtfully. 

Meanwhile, Hera disclosed the events that happened to the Watsons, 

Zells, and Lees to him. The three families had transferred 70% of their 

assets. In an attempt to resist Duncan’s dominance, the families’ 

trusted subordinates shut down all their companies. These three 

families controlled 60% of the commerce in Jonford. Once their 

companies shut down, it would trigger a butterfly effect, affecting all 

industries in Jonford, big and small. 

“When did this happen?” Nash inquired. 

Nash had considered that Duncan might target the top three families, 

but he had not expected the assault to occur before his showdown 

with The Swordsman. It was as if Duncan completely disregarded 

him. 

Nash contacted Eric. 

“Nash, you’re out of seclusion?” Eric sounded excited. 

“Yes, are you heading to the Sigur Cliff now?” Nash asked. 

“Yes, the Duerson family have already gone there. We need to go hold our ground!” 

“The Eight-Part Scepter is with you, right?” Nash continued to inquire 

“No, it was intercepted,” Eric admitted helplessly/ He then proceeded 

Chopper $70 

to inform Nash about Angelica and Mireille. 

When Nash heard that Mireille had gone to the Duerson family to 

steal back the scepter, his brows furrowed. “Whose idea was this?” 

Going to the Duerson family seemed like walking into the lion’s den. 

Eric awkwardly replied, “It was her own. We had no other way of 

obtaining scepter otherwise.” 

Before Nash could even start pointing fingers, Eric continued, “Quiet 

Winds Church did not escape disaster either.” 

After taking another firm bite of the apple, Nash asked, “How many 

casualties?” 

“Except for Cillian and a five-year-old disciple, everyone else perished, 

Eric revealed heavily. 

Nash did not ask about the reason behind it. At this point, all the 

questions would be meaningless. 

Seeing Nash silent, Eric spoke again, “We’re almost there; you should 

come over quickly!” 

With that, he ended the call. Nash put down his phone. He lost appetite for the remaining apple and casually tossed the half-eat 

fruit into the trash bin. 

Turning around, Hera hugged Nash’s neck and asked, “Are you goin to fight Swordsman?” 

Holding Hera’s soft waist in his arms, he smiled faintly and replied, There will be no peace in Jonford until we deal with the Duerson 

family.”
