My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1425

Around ten o'clock, a convoy slowly drove out of the Southern Heaven Industrial Zone. The three Mercedes-Benzs, two BMWs, and two Audis were all black and had consecutive license plates, looking quite imposing.

At this moment, Walter had already asked in the Jonford group chat: [Mr. Calcraft, where is the funeral being held?]

Nash asked Hera, "Darling, where's Maria's hometown?"

Hera answered, "Jenzburg, Huevo County, Stonywood Village." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Nash rarely heard of Jenzburg, and it seemed he needed contact with the business and martial arts circles there.

The only time he heard of Jenzburg was when Bobby imprisoned him. A major from Eastern Territory, Hudson, was from Jenzburg.

He even invited Nash to visit the Lyons in Jenzburg.

Searching Jenzburg on the map, Nash's lips twitched.

It was a journey of more than 700 kilometers. They would reach in the evening at the earliest.

Nash sent the location to the WhatsApp group, but Walter and the others only said a little.

Jenzburg, Stonywood Village was not backward nor impoverished. However, there was an old, unrepaired asphalt road in the village.

Some houses had been converted into concrete buildings, but some houses were still made of red bricks and black tiles. One of these red brick and black tile houses was Maria's house. Maria's mourning hall was already set up.

In the living room was a coffin with a black-and-white portrait in front of it.

The setting sun cast a sorrowful light on the kind smile on the portrait, making it appear desolate.

Adam knelt in front of the portrait, wearing a full black attire. His eyes were red.

Outside, there was laughter from relatives and friends playing poker.

Just then, a black Mercedes stopped outside.

A plump woman got out of the car. She was dressed in luxury from head to toe, with high-end brand accessories.

"Oh, it looks like Maria's relative is here, and she looks rich!" someone said.

Maria's sister, Maya Temby, smiled bitterly as she played poker.

The plump woman swayed her huge hips as she walked in and glanced at the people playing poker. She asked, "Is this Adam's house?"

Maya, as mean as always, asked indifferently, "Are you here for the funeral?"

She was Maya, Maria's sister. If Maria had not paid a hundred grand for her house, she would not even have attended her funeral.

After working as a maid in a wealthy family for over ten years, Maria should have at least a million in assets, right?

A few years ago, when her son got

married and needed to buy a car Maria

could not bear to give him a

money. She was simply a heartless

person.

The plump woman replied indifferently, "Maria worked for our Lewises for over ten years. Can't I come to her funeral?"

As soon as they heard that it was the Lewises Maria worked for, everyone playing the poker stopped.

"Maya, do you know this woman?" asked a middle-aged man wearing patched clothes.

He was the third child in the family, Johnny Temby. He was Maria's brother. He was lazy. After his wife ran away with someone else, he did nothing all day.

He attended the funeral to wait for his share of the money from Maria.

"I remember now. She's Rooney, Hubert's wife... Hubert is the eldest son among the Lewises in Jonford..."

Maya's eyes widened suddenly, but soon, her expression darkened.

When she went to the Lewises to ask her sister for money, this fat woman treated her like a beggar.

This lady was meaner than her.

Johnny's eyes lit up. "Maya, you'd

better entertain her well. Look at her outfit. & must be worth at least a

million. She'll probably give us a

six-figure sum in gifts easily."
