My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 484 

Clarke seemed amused. 

The net profit from this order could reach as high as 30 million. 

Baroque had sent him countless emails to secure this order. 

He requested to meet with Baroque’s top management, and Harrison even claimed he would personally receive him. 

Just now, Lauren called to apologize, saying that there was an urgent 

matter she needed to attend to and that her daughter would be 

handling his visit. 

He had heard about Harrison’s daughter, who was said to be a 

stunning beauty. 

Thus, he had agreed without thinking twice. He thought that he might have a chance to charm this beauty. 

However, things took an unpleasant turn shortly after their meeting. 

Now, he did not even want to cooperate anymore unless Hera 

showed utmost sincerity. 

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense. 

The secretary quickly approached and tried to persuade them, “Mr. Camp, Ms. Lewis, please calm down and have a seat. Let’s talk this 

through slowly.” 

She pulled Hera to a chair on the side and whispered, “Ms. Lewis, Ms. Mare has been making calls for this order for several days. Maybe 

Hera took a deep breath, sitting expressionlessly in the chair. 

The secretary then turned to Clarke. “Mr. Camp, please calm down. I’ll 

make you some tea.” 

With that, she went to the cabinet near the water dispenser to get 

some tea leaves. 

Seeing that Hera had also sat down, Clarke guessed that she might 

still be open to cooperation, so he sat down as well. 

His two assistants took seats on either side. 

Nash also pulled a chair and sat next to Hera. 

Hera leaned back in her chair, playing with a pen in her hand. 

Clarke did not speak first either. 

The business manager beside him smiled and said, “Ms. Lewis, 

there’s a saying that says you can’t really get to know someone until you’ve had a disagreement. It’s just a minor conflict. No need to take 

it to heart.” 

Hera nodded casually. “Mhm, I don’t mind it.” 

Clarke had been aggressive in his words, and she had defended her 

man well enough. 

She also felt better after defending Nash. 

After all, this was a client brought in by her mother, so it was best if 

they could come to an agreement. 

After calming down, Clarke said, “Your words earlier were a bit excessive. Don’t you want to apologize?” 

She called him condescending? 

Unacceptable! 

“Why are you so despicable? I gave you a way out, yet you still want to continue provoking us?” 

Nash’s face was filled with mockery. 

He had seen idiots before, but never one this dumb. 

“Are you sure you went to school? It’s no wonder you can only be a security manager. In simpler terms, you’re just a guard dog!”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Clarke sneered. 

Hera’s blood pressure surged upon hearing Clarke’s humiliating 

words. 

Just as she was about to retort, Nash’s calm and indifferent voice 

rang out. 

“Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect a person like you to have such qualities. The vice president of a company? You probably got to your position by climbing into someone’s bed, huh?” 

Nash, who usually resorted to physical means, had now engaged in a verbal battle with this vice president. 

Hera slowly calmed her anger and smiled while showing her teeth.” The president of Innovate Collective is indeed a woman… and it seems like she’s an older woman too… She’s probably in her 40s, 

right?” 

The secretary, who was making tea, rolled her eyes at the banter between the two. 

Well, it seemed that Ms. Lewis had no intention of closing this deal. 

Clarke’s face turned red, and his temples throbbed. 

He slammed his hand on the conference table. 

The table immediately cracked and splintered. 

Nash casually lifted his hand to catch the wood chips flying toward Hera’s face and smiled faintly. “Getting impatient now, are we?” 

Hera smiled radiantly. “I just knew there had to be a reason for Innovate Collective to suddenly change their VP. It looks like my husband’s guess was correct. You got your position from being ‘ unofficially regulated’ by the president, didn’t you?” 

“Pfft… Hahahaha…”
