My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 168
Chapter 168
Sweedy closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Walter sighed. “Things have already come to this stage. You should weigh the pros and cons!”
He got up and started walking out with his hands behind him. As he reached the door, he continued, “Don’t expect to pass on that secret through those nurses. If I find out, they won’t be the only ones who die…’
It was also three years ago when he found out that the Kleins were behind the tragedy.
If this secret got out, the Kleins would simply wipe out the Lanes and the Watsons.
The Kleins, being among the top three in Capiton’s first-class families, would not be affected at all.
In Rex District, Nash walked into the bathroom with his pajamas to take a shower.
Just as he was about to undress, his phone that was placed on the sink started ringing. It was a call from Theo.
Theo would not call him if it was not for an important matter.
Upon answering the call, Theo’s voice immediately came through, “Nashy… My grandfather found some news. The Ten Juggernauts of the Green Bamboo Association were all involved in the massacre of the Young Family Village. The person leading them was Howard, the ninth society leader!”
“Howard Lane?!”
A killing intent flashed in Nash’s deep eyes.
Outside, Hera had already taken her shower and was sitting on the bed chatting with Skadi.
Skadi sent Hera a web link, but there was a red exclamation point after the link
Hera asked curiously: [Is this… a shopping link?]
Skadi sent an emoji showing a grin: [No, no, this is a learning website!]
A learning website?
What was it about?
Hera opened the website out of curiosity.
The next moment, a lot of indescribable content appeared on her phone.
She barely even clicked on it and videos started playing automatically.
They even skipped the introductory part.
The inappropriate sounds filled the room, and Hera hurriedly exited the page and cleared the history.
Hera replied, her face red with embarrassment: [Damn woman, are you asking for a beating?]
[Come on! I was just worried that you wouldn’t know how!
[We’re best friends. I have to help you!
[Oh, right… I also ordered some beverages for you. Remember to pick them up later. I’m going to practice boxing with Bianca now!]
Hera leaned against the headboard, her mind full of the explicit images from earlier.
She tightly held onto her blanket, extremely nervous.
She had heard that the first time would hurt a lot.
She did not deal well with pain, and she would cry too.
Would it be a turn-off if she cried?
No! No! No!
What was she thinking?
Hera covered her head with the blanket, refusing to let her thoughts run wild.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
The beverages must have arrived.
She had imagined countless times sharing a nice beverage with the man she liked.
Skadi was indeed a great friend, always remembering the things she had said.
Hera put on her slippers and went to the door to pick up her delivery.
When she opened the door and was about to reach for her beverages, the delivery guy suddenly exclaimed, “Ms. Lewis… why is it you?”
Hera was startled, then looked up at the delivery guy in surprise. “Mr. Wilson… Why are you delivering food?”
This delivery guy was Hans Wilson, the marketing director of Baroque’s branch office.
He was the second-in-command at the branch.
Although the company was not doing well, Hans’ salary was quite high, around 8,000 a month.
With such a high salary, he was still delivering food part-time.
Hans sighed. “Why else than to make ends meet? My wife is pregnant with our second child and is resting at home; my father- in-law is seriously ill and in the ICU; my parents are old; and I have to support a big family!”
Hera said softly, “It really isn’t easy, huh? But don’t worry, our company is about to grow soon. When that happens, I’ll increase your salary!”
Hans thanked her repeatedly, then handed over the beverages he was holding.
He took out a black bag from his clothes and said with embarrassment, “Also, Ms. Lewis, I’m really sorry. I went to several shops and couldn’t find that brand, so I bought another brand!”
“Huh? What brand?”
Hera took the black bag, puzzled.
