My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 66
Chapter 66
Hera shuddered when she heard that cockney-like voice.
The look on her face slowly turned cold as she turned around and said woodenly, “Mr. Hill, I am Hera Lewis, and I am the chief executive officer of Baroque Electronic. You may address me either by my name or as Ms. Lewis!”
The Hill family was a powerful family who owned several large-scale companies and dozens of small and medium-sized companies in Jonford.
Several of Baroque Electronics’ component suppliers were owned by the Hill family.
Though Hunter’s relentless pursuit disgusted her, she had no choice but to endure it for now.
“But, Hera, hasn’t your grandfather already agreed to our relationship?”
An aggrieved look appeared on Hunter’s chubby face.
Herman had already announced that the Hill family could propose a marriage between their families under the condition that they paid a dowry of no less than fifty million dollars.
Fifty million dollars was an astronomical number to most people, but it was nothing to the Hill family, who had several billion dollars worth of assets.
Besides, he was the sole heir of the Hill family. The old master did not mind paying a fifty-million dollar dowry and had even decided to fork out an additional five hundred million dollars to organize his wedding.
Most importantly, the old master would put them in charge of the Hill family’s largest company once they were married.
“I have a fiancé, Mr. Hill. Please, have some respect!”
Hera did not have an expression on her face as she waved him off.
“Hera… hasn’t your fiancé already been kicked out?”
“Besides… he’s a country bumpkin who can’t give you a good future…”
“His only strength is that he knows martial arts… I can pick up martial arts as well if that’s what you like. Several experts have achieved ninth-division inner energy in my family…”
Hunter refused to stop talking and continued bugging Hera instead.
He tried to get his crush to change her mind.
Hera felt like her head was about to explode.
“Hera…”
Just then, Skadi hurried over with two followers clad in white martial arts uniforms.
She had an aquamarine-colored gown on, and her eyes and smile shone as she strutted over, her smooth hair spread over her shoulders like a black-colored waterfall.
The pale skin of her shoulders was exposed, and with her delicate collarbones, made her look like a natural work of art.
When Skadi spoke, she immediately attracted the attention of others.
Multiple rich, young heirs immediately directed their gazes toward her.
“Who’s that good-looking girl?”
“She’s hot!”
“Sh*t, isn’t that Skadi, the tomboy?”
“The one from the martial arts association?”
“Who else could she be?”
When Skadi’s name was mentioned, several heirs immediately averted their gaze.
She was a bold woman who showed no fear of anything or anyone simply because her grandfather was the head of the martial
arts association.
Out of the ten guys who had ever tried to woo her, she had beaten up eight of them.
“Skade…”
Hera hurried over to her.
She took Skadi’s hands in hers, and her eyes shone as she said, “You look gorgeous today…”
Despite having known Skadi for so many years, it was her first time seeing Skadi dressed up.
Skadi pretended to be offended. “Don’t I always look gorgeous?”
Hera stuck her tongue out and said cheekily, “How would you look gorgeous when you’re usually dressed like a guy?”
“Wow, I can’t believe you have the guts to say that to my face…”
Skadi immediately extended a hand to pinch Hera’s waist.
“Don’t, don’t… Don’t tickle me… I’m sorry…”
Hera laughed as she begged for mercy.
The sight of two beauties teasing each other was a feast for everyone’s eyes.
Hunter was so engrossed that he nearly began drooling…
Skadi caught sight of Hunter and recalled how her best friend had been complaining about him for the past two days. Her smile vanished off her face as she glanced at him cooly and said, “One more look, and I’ll gouge your eyes out…”
The other young heirs might fear Skadi, but Hunter did not.
After all, Skadi’s skills only ranked around the fourth or fifth division.
The fact that she was the champion of the martial arts competition was bullsh*t. The competition had been organized by the martial arts association, which meant anyone who had even an ounce of sense could tell how unfair it was.
