My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1062
Skadi felt guilty when she remembered what had happened before. If Hera had really divorced Nash, she would have spent an eternity in guilt. 30 minutes later, Nash parked the car outside the Zellsâ
residence.
âThank you, Nash!â Skadi said. She then carried Yoyo toward the villa.
Nash turned the car around and headed back to Royal Bay.
When Skadi entered the villa, Yoyo immediately rushed into
Zakariahâs arms. Zakariah lovingly held her, saying, âOh, my sweet
granddaughter!â
âSo, the eldest granddaughter doesnât get your love anymore, huh?
Youâve gotten fewer wrinkles on your face ever since Yoyo came to us!
Î
Skadi sat on the couch, looking downcast. Zakariah gave her a stern
look. âSo you should quickly find a boyfriend whoâll cherish you. From
now on, Iâll only spoil my little granddaughter!â
âIâm going to Quiet Winds Church in a couple of days.â
Zakariah was shaken when he heard that and looked at Skadi with a
complex expression. âYour marriage is a big affair, and I donât want to meddle⦠But I need to remind you that considering Cillianâs age, I
should be calling him âGrandpaâ tooâ¦â
Skadi became a little unhappy. âAge, age, age! Why are you always bringing up age? That director in his 80s is dating someone in her 20s! Cillian is much more handsome than him, no?â
After saying these words, Skadi stormed upstairs in anger.
âThat child, I didnât say I disagreed. Why is she so angry?â
âMaster, you know women have those days when their temper just flares up, right?â Justin said with a chuckle.
Zakariah glared at Justin. âYou little brat, did I ask you to speak?â
Justin shrunk his neck. âIâll keep quiet now!â
Zakariah put Yoyo down. âYoyo, go upstairs and comfort Skadi!â
Yoyo happily ran upstairs.
Zakariah then turned to Justin and asked, âHow did you handle the
situation at Innovate Collective just now?â
Justin recounted everything that happened, including Nash telling
Shani that he was sparing her life out of consideration for the Zell family. Zakariah listened with bated breath. He only relaxed when he heard that the person who bullied Shani was Nash.
âWhat Nash said at the end was really important. Otherwise, M would definitely come to cause us trouble!â
Just as Zakariah said that, the phone on the table rang. A student picked it up and ran over with it.
Zakariah took the phone with a wry smile on his face. âSpeak of the devil and he shall appear.â
After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone. âMilan, my granddaughter has never met your granddaughter before. It was a misunderstanding!â
âYes, it was just a misunderstanding!
âWell, Zakariah, my friend, the Capiton Martial Arts Association has added the vice president position. I wonder if you have any thoughts on that?â Milan asked with a friendly expression.
Zakariah instantly thought of the effect of Nashâs words. The vice president position in the Capiton Martial Arts Association would surely offer higher authority and salary than his current position.
However, having spent decades in Jonford, he could not bear to leave the people and things here. Capiton was a place full of hidden talents and fierce competition among prominent families.
With his level of expertise, he would just be a small fish in a big pond. there. It was better to stay in Jonford and climb up the ranks in the
Chamber of Commerce.
After a moment of contemplation, Zakariah smiled and said, âMilan,
my old friend, I appreciate your kindness. Iâm someone who values
old ties. I donât have plans to move anywhere else for now.â
It was silent in Baroqueâs conference room. Dressed in professio attire with her hair tied back neatly, Hera looked very much the ima
of a capable woman as she sat upright in her chair. Her cold eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man who was making a phone call.
The man continued dialing the number, but it seemed like no one was picking up. He tried several times without success.
Hera sneered. âIf you canât get through, then stop calling. If this matter isnât resolved within three days, Iâll find someone else to
handle it!â
