My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 286
Nash was smoking in the garden outside the villa and was startled when he heard Lydiaâs voice. He hung up the phone and turned to look at his mother-in-law and said with a smile, âWhat do you mean Young? Iâm a Calcraft!â
âI saw the ring on your finger in my grandfatherâs portrait. About eighty years ago, my grandfather met someone from the Young family and thereâs a painting of the two of them shaking hands somewhere. That man wore the same ring on his finger, just like my grandfather. The shape of the ring was drawn on the back of the painting too! When you opened the Box of Light, I recognized the ring immediately!â
Lauren glanced at the ring on Nashâs finger and continued, âWhen he was younger, my grandfather often went out without telling anyone; and every time he went out, he would come back after several days. After the Massacre of the Young Family, he never left Jonford again⦠I assume that he went to the Young Family Village!â
âMom⦠youâre overthinking it. Letâs hurry back and rest!â
Nash did not want to reveal too much of the truth since he barely knew much himself.
Herman had kept his lips sealed and did not tell his son nor his daughter-in-law about it so Nash thought that he should continue to hide this secret.
âIâm sorry⦠Iâve been drinking too much and overthinking things!â Lauren shook her head, then turned to go back to the living room in the villa.
She felt somewhat guilty as she knew that she should not have pried into Nashâs secrets but she could not contain her curiosity.
Hera and Yvonne were holding a glass of red wine each and tried to convince each other to drink more.
Yvonne laughed cheekily. âDonât drink too much, Hera! Otherwise, youâll lose your head later and Nash wonât able to take it anymore!â
âTsk⦠what are you talking about?
âNash and I are husband and wife in theory but we havenât made it real yet!â Hera glared at Yvonne angrily.
âNo way! I donât believe it! Youâre so conservative even in this day and age?â Yvonne gasped in surprise.
âThere are too many things going on lately!â Hera sighed.
On the night of her birthday, something was supposed to happen with Nash but some family issues
arose.
Following that, more issues arose which resulted in them spending very little time together.
âYou two should stop drinking so much and rest earlier!â Lauren nagged them and walked upstairs.
Yvonne pulled a face. âThe night is still young! Letâs drink!â
Boom!
Out of the blue, the sound of an explosion came from outside.
The two of them jumped up in shock.
Nash casually strolled into the villa.
Hera quickly asked, âWhat was that sound?â
âFinn just fell down.â Nash shrugged.
As he cleaned up the body of the Level Nine Grandmaster outside, the corner of Finnâs mouth twitched as he muttered, âMotherf*cker⦠how did he cause the sound of an explosion just by falling down?â
Xeno put out the flames on the body with a fire extinguisher and pulled out the corpse from the fuel tank of the car.
They quickly placed the seven corpses together.
Xeno took out a cloth drenched in oil from the trunk of the car, covered the bodies with it, and complained. âI canât believe this group of little boys dared to come back for Mr. Nash. They underestimated him!â
It only took Nash to get rid of these people in ten seconds.
Finn curled his lips and said, âWhy is an ordinary person like you calling the Level Three Great- Grandmasters little boys?â
Xeno froze. âGreat-Grandmasters? Theyâre⦠theyâre Great-Grandmasters?â
Finn took off his sunglasses, folded them, and stuffed them into his pocket. âJudging from the energy fluctuations that erupted when they attacked, theyâre likely Great-Grandmasters!â
âSeven Great-Grandmasters!
âMr. Nash only took ten seconds to deal with them?â Xenoâs throat tightened up and he gulped.
Finn took a deep breath too. âMr. Nashâs power is unfathomable, especially since heâs assassination skills. He didnât ask me to show up today for revenge, but simply because he was afraid that heâd kill Winnie in just one move!â
In the living room.
Nash had a few drinks with Hera and Yvonne.
Hera was dizzy and curled up in Nashâs arms. âBabe⦠I want a kiss!â
3/3
She pouted and waited for Nash to kiss her.
Nash happily obliged to her request.
He lowered his head and kissed Heraâs warm red lips.
âOh my goshâ¦â
Yvonneâs eyes widened.
She thought to herself, âThey were so wholesome earlier but now theyâre kissing right in front of me?
âDamn! Theyâre using tongue too!â
