My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 41
[Okay⦠I understand!]
Adam, feeling dejected, found Mr. Deanâs number and gave it to Herman.
Herman wrote down the phone number on a piece of paper and then dialed the number.
âDear old Deanâ¦â
This time, Herman believed Harrisonâs words.
If what the Harrison family said was true, then it was likely Hubertâs family had already informed the hospital.
He would not be able to obtain any information by contacting Mr. Dean himself.
Thus, he had to pretend to have regained his memory first.
Mr. Dean hesitated for a few seconds before asking, âWho is this?â
âTell me, old Dean, did Nash cure my illness?â
âWho are you, and whoâs Nash?â
Mr. Deanâs voice sounded somewhat angry. âDid you dial the wrong number?â
With that, he hung up the phone.
Herman listened to the busy tone on the phone, his expression extremely complex.
It seemed that Mr. Dean really did not recognize him.
In other words, the Harrison family had truly fabricated some lies in order to compete for the familyâs assets.
These lies were full of loopholes. While Harrison was a bit foolish, Lauren, coming from a prestigious family, should not be that stupid, right?
After pondering for a moment, Herman let out a long sigh and then slowly lay down to rest.
In Mr. Deanâs home, his wife asked drowsily, âWho was it? Who called you so late?â
Mr. Dean leaned against the head of the bed, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. âIt was old Lewisâ¦â
He already knew about Hermanâs situation.
However, he had received a warning yesterday that he must pretend not to recognize Herman, or else his family would be met with accidents.
Initially, Mr. Dean did not take it seriously, but yesterday afternoon, a stranger happened to pick up his granddaughter from school.
The next day at noon, the security system at the Lewis familyâs estate was strengthened.
Herman hired nearly 30 more people from a security company.
The entire mansion was heavily guarded.
Meanwhile, Kai carne to visit.
Hubertâs family had smiles on their faces.
Herman was also radiant and could not stop smiling.
After all, Helena marrying into a prestigious family was a source of pride for the Lewises.
Just as everyone was happily eating, Hera rushed in excitedly. âGrandpa, the CEO of Drake Group is hereâ¦â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone trembled.
Drake Group, one of the top ten companies in Jonford, had 16 branch offices across the country, with nearly 30,000 employees in each company.
Even on a national scale, they could be ranked among the top 50.
This super conglomerate was involved in various business sectors, including automobiles, mobile phones, computers, tablets, gaming consoles, and all other electronic products.
Countless chip companies wanted to collaborate with them.
Rococo mainly produced organic chips, and most of its revenue came from contract manufacturing due to its own brandâs major flaws.
Drake Group had a large demand for contract manufacturing.
Heraâs chip company was not the only one that wanted to collaborate with Drake Group but Helenaâs family company as well.
However, what puzzled everyone was why the CEO of Drake Group personally came to the Lewis familyâs estate.
âCome with me to greet Ms. Oliviaâ¦â
Herman led everyone outside to greet the guest, and even Kai followed.
Outside the estate, a seductive beauty was leaning against a Ferrari.
Behind this Ferrari were numerous supercars, even more than what Kai had in his garage.
âOli, itâs just a small family. Is it necessary for us to make such a big show?â
A short-haired beauty asked with a puzzled expression.
âIâm also curious. Why would that despicable man attach so much importance to the Lewises, who canât even be considered a third-rate family?!â
