My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 307
âWhat?!â
Nash was taken aback.
His father was still alive!
Where was he?
Was he also seeking revenge for the Youngs, just like him?
âIt was the right decision not to look for him! Since my fatherâs alive, he must be hiding under a pseudonym and deep in hiding!
âIf you
had gone looking for him, not only would you expose yourself, but youâd also expose his whereabouts. That wouldâve put you all in danger!â
A smile appeared on Nashâs face as he relaxed into the sofa. He started eating some fruits.
âCongratulations Mr. Nash! The Youngs are bound to regain their glory!â Finn said sycophantically.
Melody glanced at Finn, stating coolly, âDoesnât this guy know too much?â
Nash also turned to look at him.
Finn began to break into cold sweat, stammering, âM-Mr. Nash⦠Youâve done so much for me. My loyalty to you is clear for all to see!â
Ever since he learned more about Nashâs identity, he felt fortunate to be working under him.
He knew that following Nash would bring great opportunities.
He had never once thought of betraying him.
âDid I say anything?â
Nash smiled. âI trust those I employ. If I doubted you, I wouldnât have brought you to Young Gardens.â
Finn wiped his sweat, looking timidly at Melody.
âI was just saying,â Melody said without expression.
Finn rolled his eyes at Melody. âPlease donât speak thoughtlessly next time. It can be deadly terrifying, you know?â
Considering Melodyâs grandmother was one of the Youngs and he had just started working for Nash, it was clear where they ranked.
Melody turned her gaze back to Nash. âI also know the whereabouts of the third piece of the map!â
Nash eagerly asked, âWhere is it?â
Melody tried recalling, âMy grandmother mentioned it two years ago. Your grandfatherâs distant cousin married a woman named Shanty Joe from Jonford⦠My grandmother once saw the piece at Shantyâs house. When reported to the clan leader, your grandfather tried to
retrieve it. Shanty revealed that the piece was sewn into an ancient painting at her home, but that painting had been gifted to her younger sisterâ¦â
The wife of his grandfatherâs distant cousin.
She should be the same age as his grandfather.
The lady should still be alive.
Nash took out his phone and dialed Xenoâs number. âXeno, please help me look into families in Jonford with a woman named Shanty Joe. She should have a sister. I want all the details by tomorrow!â
âUnderstood, Mr. Nash!â
Xeno responded, and Nash ended the call.
Melody said thoughtfully, âEven if we find three, there are still five out there. Trying to collect all eight is like finding a needle in a haystack!â
Nash looked determined. âDream City was the reason the Youngs were annihilated. I must understand what kind of place Dream City truly is.â
Glancing at the time, it was already past 10:00 pm.
Nash planned to call Hera to make up.
âIn a while, Maria will assign rooms for you two. Just stay here at Royal Bay. Iâll retire for the night.â
With that, he walked upstairs.
Finn eyed Melodyâs voluptuous figure and grinned as he said, âMiss, Iâm 32 this year, a top disciple of Salvia Path from Northdale Mountain, and a stage-six grandmaster. Most importantly, Iâve never had a girlfriendâ¦â
Melody coolly replied, âWith such qualities, you shouldnât waste them on any woman. Just stay single!â
Nash returned to his room and dialed Heraâs number.
Just as Hera was about to pick up her phone, Yvonne snatched it.
She made a silent gesture, then turned on the loudspeaker and whispered, âNash⦠Heraâs asleepâ¦â
Upon hearing Yvonneâs voice, Nashâs temper flared. âYvonne Mare, youâre 17 now. Shouldnât you be more sensible? Do you realize how much harm your words have caused?â
âWhy would you say that? You brought a random woman home late at night. Is that sensible?â
Yvonne retorted defiantly.
Nashâs face turned dark. âForget it, Iâm not arguing with you. Tomorrow, Iâll have you shipped back to Capitonâ¦â
Yvonne quickly said to Hera, âSee, Hera? Heâs showing no remorse. He even said that Iâm insensible⦠and he wants to send me back to Capitonâ¦â
âJust hang up and go to sleep!â
Heraâs voice was raspy, drained from crying.
Then, Yvonne obediently hung up.
Nashâs mouth twitched, and he lay down on the bed, feeling frustrated.
