My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 383
Chapter 383
Outside the residential area, Xeno swapped the car into a brand new off-road Porsche.
Derek walked over to the car’s window empty-handed.
Xeno looked at the wound on Derek’s forehead and asked, “What happened there?”
“I ran into a door…”
Derek grinned.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a beautiful woman in the back seat, which caused his eyes to brighten with interest.
“Mr. Nash… is this your girlfriend?”
“I’m a trusted descendant of the Youngs like you!”
Melody replied, then picked up a bottle of water to moisten her throat.
The off-road vehicle had six seats. Nash pointed to the back seat. “Go sit there!”
Derek climbed into the car and immediately greeted Finn, “Hello…”
Finn smiled and replied, “Hello, what’s your name?”
“I’m Derek Judd, and you?”
“Pfft…” Melody spat out a mouthful of water.
“Ahahaha… I’m so sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!” She laughed as she apologized.
Derek! It was such an old-school name to her.
Finn squeezed his thigh to refrain himself from bursting out in laughter and said in a deep voice, “I’m Finn. It’s nice to meet you!”
Derek was a descendent of the Youngs like Melody, but she was worth billions compared to him.
The two were incomparable.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Finn…”
Derek was used to people laughing at his name, so he just asked, “Who’s the woman in the front seat?”
Melody pouted and said, “You’re probably 30 years old at least, right? Can’t you speak to me with more respect?”
Derek smiled awkwardly. “Sorry… I’m not too good with words!”
“I’m Melody Stone, fresh and young in my 20s!” Melody introduced herself with a smile.
Nash could not help but laugh. “You’re 28! Fresh and young in your 20s refers to a beautiful lady who has just turned 20! Aren’t you embarrassed when you say that?”
The smile on Melody’s face froze, and her eyebrows raised. “Let’s not talk about age. You’re still my master.”
Nash smiled and kept his mouth closed.
Derek could not help but laugh too.
He thought that the trusted descendants of the Youngs would have to behave like slaves in front of the Youngs.
However, by the looks of it, Mr. Nash’s attitude toward the descendants was as if they were real friends.
Xeno glanced at his watch. “It’s already past seven o’clock. It’s almost rush hour soon. Why haven’t they shown up yet?”
Derek frowned and said, “Nico’s mother isn’t willing to let him go to Xanthalos… Ms. Ophelia is trying to convince her now!”
He understood Xara’s intentions better than anyone else.
Her intentions were identical to his own mother. They did not want to let their children risk their lives.
Nico drove out of the residential area in his Honda.
Xara and Ophelia stood worriedly at the gate.
Yasmin limped over with Margaret to the gate too.
Their faces were stained with tears and worry.
Melody whispered, “Mr. Nash, are you not going down to reassure them?”
“I can’t make that promise…”
Nash understood what Melody meant. If he were to tell them that he would bring everyone back safely, they would feel more at ease.
However, the tomb of the King of Medicine was full of undead corpses, deathworms, and many unknown dangers.
It was uncertain if everyone could make it out alive.
Melody pursed her red lips. “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Of course! Wealth and honor are predestined; life and death are in the hands of fate!
“There is no one in this world who isn’t afraid of death. The experts… all crawl out from the gap between life and death!”
