The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 7

“Oh? Who is it?” Xavier's voice was icy-cold.

“Your cousin!”

“Oh, you mean Zyon,” scoffed Xavier.

Baffled by Xavier's reaction, Josiah inquired, “Why aren't you surprised at all? He stayed overseas for so long that I thought he had already moved there.”

“There's no way a coward like him could stay out there for long. He just came back yesterday, but he's already at Garland Group now.”

Josiah got even more curious when he heard that. “My guess is that he came back to laugh at you for marrying a mentally challenged woman. However, if I was right, he should've gone to your house. Why would he go to Garland Group instead?”

“Why else? Grandpa transferred eight percent of the shares to my wife, an outsider, instead of him. It's only natural that he's mad.”

“Well, then I'd say he's digging his own grave,” sneered Josiah. “He probably has no idea that we're close to getting to the bottom of the car accident. When we find the last witness, he'll be done for. Since our municipal laws don't apply to him if he's hiding overseas, he just served himself up on a silver platter by coming back.”

“We're in no hurry. Let's deal with the mole first.” Based on how good he is, I'm pretty confident that he has spies in our mansion. You should be careful at Garland Group as well,” reminded Xavier in a serious tone.

“Sure.” After hanging up, Josiah drove his car forward so it would be easier for him to conduct his observation.

At that moment, Kylie just so happened to bump into Zyon as she hurried out of the Garland Group office building.

The woman was upset because she had just had a hard time in Hamish's office, so she roared at Zyon, “Are you blind or something?”

Zyon was a trust fund baby who never had anyone speak to him like that before. Naturally, he did not appreciate Kylie's tone. “You're the blind one here!” he retorted after pushing Kylie.

Kylie had no idea who Zyon was, but Hamish immediately recognized the man.

“Aren't you Mr. Zyon? To what do we owe the pleasure?” inquired Hamish before pushing Kylie forward. “Quickly! Apologize to Mr. Zyon for how rude you were just now.”

However, Kylie refused to comply. “Dad! All I did was use my words, but he pushed me. Did you not see that? This is our territory, so why should I apologize to him? Is something wrong with you?”

“Shut up! You're being disrespectful.” Hamish had no choice but to apologize to Zyon on his daughter's behalf since she would not do so.

Zyon narrowed his eyes at the man. “You must be Hamish Garland, my cousin's father-in-law.”

“That's right. I am,” responded Hamish sheepishly, afraid of offending a Fairchild.

Zyon glanced at Kylie and snorted. “I guess that makes her my cousin-in-law then.”

He then held his chin as he sized up Kylie before adding, “That can't be right because from what I've heard, she's supposed to be a dumbass with the mind of a child!”

“No, no, no. You've mistaken her for my eldest; this is my second daughter. My eldest, your cousin-in-law, is at the back.”
