My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1074
âYes, I have found something. Someone from Deco Electronics bribed the head of the Logistics Department!â
âDeco Electronics?â
âThatâs right. I also found out that the person who bribed the head of
the Logistics Department is none other than their president, Xena
Davis!â
âXena? She was my classmate in college. How could it be her?â
-Heraâs face instantly turned pale.
Xenaâs grades were not particularly outstanding back when they were
in college.
She was very introverted and rarely spoke to anyone else.
The minute they graduated, she left all their class-related group c
No one had heard from her ever since.
Never would Hera have imagined that she was the current president
of Deco Electronics.
âXena is under the protection of a martial artist expert, Ms. Hera.
Thatâs why I canât interrogate her further!
âSince Mr. Calcraft isnât around, youâll need to have people guarding
you at all times for the next few days!
âI have a couple of friends who were just discharged from the
military, and they⦠havenât found employment yet!â
Robinâs voice wavered slightly as he uttered that last sentence.
âTell them to wait for me at the entrance at eight oâclock tomorrow
morning!â
âAlright, Ms. Hera!â
Hera hung up the phone after that and turned to Lauren. âMom, have you heard about Deco Electronics?â
âDeco Electronics is a chip production company thatâs based in Jewell County. The company is about the same size and follows the same structure as Innovate Collective!â
Lauren was sitting beside Hera and had been listening to the conversation that took place just now. Her features were arranged
into a worried expression. âOur business isnât involved with Deco
Electronics in any way. Why are they spying on you?â
âWhat else could it be? Theyâve got evil intentions because we stud finger into their pie!â Harrison sneered.
âMelody, please stay by Heraâs side and make sure sheâs safe for the next couple of days. Iâm worried Deco Electronics will harm her!â Lauren said softly as she took Melodyâs hand in hers.
âAlright. Donât worry, Aunt Lauren. Iâll make sure Ms. Hera is well- protected!â Melody said as she nodded.
âMs. Hera?â Hera and Lauren gave Melody astonished looks.
âThatâs right. Nash is the master of the household, so this is how I should refer to you, shouldnât I?â Melody asked as she smiled prettily.
âNo. Youâre my motherâs goddaughter, which makes us sisters. Nash is your brother-in-law. I forbid you from addressing him as anything
else!â
Hera pretended to be angry.
âAlright!â Melody smiled as she nodded.
âCome, letâs have dinner!â
Maria was already in the midst of bringing food to the table. Hera
took Melodyâs hand and pulled her toward the dining table.
Lauren and Harrison exchanged glances.
Harrison sighed. âLooks like your worst fears have come true!â
An odd look appeared in Laurenâs eyes as she said, âHave a couple of
drinks with Melody later. Weâre going to spend the night here!â
After everyone had eaten their fill and had a couple of drinks, Harris and Lauren used the excuse of wanting to thank Melody for
protecting Hera to have a few more drinks.
Meanwhile, Hera felt nauseous every time she picked up her glass. and caught a whiff of the red wine.
âI havenât been feeling the best the past two days, which is why I canât drink with you right now, Melody!â
Hera felt a wave of frustration wash over her as she put her glass down.
Melody smiled. âWhy donât I accompany you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?â
Then, she turned to Lauren and Harrison and said, âYou shouldnât
have too much to drink either, Uncle Harrison and Aunt Lauren. Thereâll probably be plenty of work waiting for you since youâve just acquired Innovate Collective!â
Seeing how everyone was done drinking, Lauren smiled and said, â Alright. Letâs sleep in the same room tonight!â
That night, Lauren spent the night with her two daughters.
Meanwhile, Harrison spent the night in a room he had only been in
twice.
In the basement, Nash busied himself with writing out prescriptions,
gathering herbs, and rinsing them.
He would be crafting five different kinds of medicinal pills this time.
