My Substitute CEO Bride

It was then that Chad realized that James was also a hot-tempered grandmaster. If he wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"What's the meaning of this?" James asked as killing intent flashed through his eyes. He had been suspecting the third uncle before this and did not think it would actually be the head of the Mare family who was behind it. Leonard was usually more submissive in front of his cousin. At this moment, however, his face morphed into anger as he glared at Chad and roared, "Is your father even human? How could he hurt his brother?!" Leonard's voice amused Chad. "Leonard, don't you feel shame saying that? Are you telling me you've never done anything to your siblings?"

However, his response was met with a scoff. "I've never thought about taking their lives!"

It was normal for disputes over interests to rise within a large and prosperous family.

All three of Leonard's siblings ran away from home. While he did do some things, he never intended to harm them.

James grabbed Chad's hair and said viciously, "If anything happens to my adoptive father, I'll send your entire family to their graves."

Chad did not dare question James' words. His pupils narrowed as he snapped his mouth shut.

Just then, Nash's phone rang. He fished out his phone. When he saw that it was Lauren calling, his expression softened slightly as he answered the call.

"Mom."

"Nash, are you with the Mare family now? How's my father?" Lauren asked anxiously.

"It's nothing too big. I can handle the possession," Nash said calmly to ease Lauren's worries.

Hearing this, Lauren breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Nash. Sorry to trouble you with this." She figured the family dispute would trouble him but he would simply hold his anger in.

Nash smiled and replied, "It's fine. You guys have treated me with so much courtesy, and they're the ones causing me trouble anyway."

Nash did not come to visit the Mare family this time just to handle the dispute but also to open the path for

.n

Hera. He wanted her to face no obstructions from the Mare family.

Before he could achieve this he had

to settle their problems.

"My uncle's side of the family is reckless. They even hired hitmen to assassinate Hera the last time. You should teach them a lesson!" Lauren said coldly.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Nash's lips curled into a cold smile. "I understand." He would have taken action against the traitors even if Lauren had not mentioned it. Now that Lauren had given the word, he felt less burdened by it.

Ending the call with her, Nash then called Gabriel, but he did not answer.

Nash frowned slightly and smiled to himself bitterly. It looked like he was afraid of the Klein family and had already distanced himself from him. Not everyone was willing to stand by himno matter what like Theo

Nash still had many connections who could easily crush the Mare family including Rosella, Isadora, Maverick, Yvaine, and several other top families in Swenford. However, they were all external forces. After a moment of silence, he dialed Eva's number.

"Mr. Calcraft," Eva greeted, sounding exhausted. Her workload had increased several times over ever since Hera went abroad. She had just sat down to catch her breath when Nash called.

"Eva, use all our connections to suppress the Mare family in Capiton. I want Chad's branch of the family to go bankrupt," Nash said indifferently.

"The Mare family? Isn't that the director, Ms. Mare's, family?" Eva's eyelid twitched uncontrollably.

"Just do as I say!" Nash simply responded, sounding somewhat impatient.

"I understand."

After ending the call, Eva quickly dialed Hera's number.
