Chapter 1117
My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1117
The call ended. Nash listened to the busy tone on the other end of the
line, somewhat speechless. Fabian and Melody were both trusted by the Young family, and they both possessed top-notch business acumen. He had been thinking about trying to match them up.
At Innovate Collective, Hera, dressed in professional attire, walked out
of her office. She saw Melodyâs cold expression. She walked up to her
and asked, âMelody, whatâs wrong?â
Melody shook her head. âIâm fine.â
Hera smiled gently. âThe only person who can make you so angry
must be your young sir, right?â
Melody shot Hera a complicated look and then repeated what Nash
had just said. She thought Nash was worried about entrusting the
Universal Foundation to Fabian and so came to her to learn more
about him. She did not expect him to play matchmaker!
âMelody, letâs go to my office and talk,â Hera said lightly while looking
at Melody. Then, she turned around and walked toward her office. Melody looked at Heraâs back in astonishment, nervousness suddenly washing over her.
In the office, Hera asked her secretary to prepare tea while she sat on
the couch on one side. Melody took a deep breath and sat down on
the couch on the other side.
She suddenly realized that Heraâs aura was stronger now, even

surpassing hers-and she was the daughter of the former richest in
Xanthalos.
The secretary brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup each for both of
them. Sensing that the mood between them was off, she whispered, â
Ms. Lewis, thereâs a batch of new employees. Iâll go check on their
training!â With that, she left the office.
âMelodyâ¦â Hera stared at Melody, her tone devoid of any emotion.
âHuh?â Melody responded dumbly, her nervousness intensifying. Was
Hera going to make her leave Nash?
âYouâre not young anymore. Donât you have thoughts of finding a
boyfriend?â Hera asked calmly.
âNot at the moment. Being single isnât bad either. I have more money
than I can spend, and I donât have to worry about trivial matters in life!

Melody picked up the teacup and gently blew on it.
âMelody, do you like Nash?â Hera suddenly asked.
âI donât,â Melody said as she took a sip of tea. She did not dare meet
Heraâs eyes directly.
âPfft!â Hera could not hold it anymore and burst into laughter.
This puzzled Melody. âWhat are you laughing at?â Hera confused her. Just a moment ago, she looked like she wanted to end their
friendship. Now, she was behaving intimately.
Hera walked over to Melody and sat down beside her, linking her arm
with hers. She said in a soft voice, âI donât mind, you knowâ¦â
Melody shuddered, staring at Hera in disbelief. âHera, w-what do you

mean?â
She did not mind that Melody liked Nash? Was Hera trying to push her man onto another woman?
Hera nodded. âThe first time you saved me, you almost lost your life.
Actually, I knew you did it so Nash wouldnât be hurt and upset. My mom asked me a question back then. She asked what if you and Nash developed feelings for each other over time?
âAt that time, I was very against the idea. I believed no woman would willingly share her beloved man with someone else!
âBut later, I understood. Nash is a man destined for great things. I should let him roam freely in the world. I canât accompany him on his adventures, but I shouldnât become a stumbling block for him either!
âSo even if he has other women in the future, Iâll accept it willingly. I
also believe in him. No matter how many women there are, heâll
continue to love me as always!â
Heraâs words shocked Melody. She had not expected Hera to think this way. However, even if Hera could accept it, would Nash agree? He was already prepared to marry her off, indicating she held no significant place in his heart.
