My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 459
The intimacy from earlier had ignited Nashâs desires. Every time he wanted to get intimate with Hera, something unexpected would happen. Counting the days, he had been away in Xanthalos for nine days, so Heraâs menstrual period should have already passed.
âAlright⦠letâs goâ¦â
Hera pulled Nash and began to walk upstairs.
Nash wore a puzzled expression.
What was going on?
Should she not have hesitated and playfully resisted him?
Why did it seem like she was even more eager than him?
They returned to the bedroom and immediately kissed again.
From the door to the bedside, they finally tumbled onto the bed.
Nashâs hands were not idle either. They were freely exploring underneath Heraâs clothing.
Hera pressed Nashâs hand and exhaled softly. âMaybe I should take a shower firstâ¦â
Nash smirked. âTogether?â
Hera blushed. âNo way⦠Thatâd be so embarrassingâ¦â
At that moment, Heraâs phone rang.
Nashâs lips twitched at the sound.
He silently prayed it was not an emergency.
âMr. Wilson⦠What is it at this hour?â
âMs. Lewis⦠the server room is on fireâ¦â Mr. Wilson said urgently.
âWhat?â
Hera turned pale and quickly got up from the bed. âWe installed fire-resistant cotton and aluminum foil in the server room. How could it catch fire?â
Mr. Wilson said gravely, âItâs definitely not a wiring issue. Itâs most likely that someone intentionally set it on fire!â
Hera took a deep breath. âHowâs the fire now? Is it under control?â
Looking at the raging fire outside the window, Mr. Wilson replied with a hoarse voice, âThe fire is out of control. We have to wait for the fire brigadeâ¦â
Heraâs phone dropped to the floor.
Someone had deliberately set the fire.
Who was it?
Who could it be?
Nash said with a somber face, âLetâs head there now!â
Hera drove at breakneck speed toward the Southern Suburbs.
Meanwhile, inside Helenaâs apartment, Kai had just taken a shower. Helena asked with a grin, â Baroqueâs subsidiary is on fire. Did you arrange for that?â
On the TV, Jonfordâs current news was being broadcast live.
Half of the factory area was ablaze.
Having not groomed himself for several days, Kai appeared more mature and weathered. Glancing at the TV report, he calmly said, âDo you think I still have the capability to arrange. for such a thing?â
Helena sighed. âWhen will your grandfatherâs sanctions against you
end?â
The sanctions against Kai by Walter were even stricter than being blacklisted.
Not only was he restricted from taking trains or high-speed rails, but even restaurants on the streets would refuse him.
Helena ordered takeout for him daily.
Kai sat on the couch in silence.
Then, Helena bit her lip, saying, âMaybe you should apologize to Nash. If you make amends, perhaps your grandfather will forgive you!â
Last time, Nash had helped save both her and Kai.
Her feelings of animosity toward Kai and Hera had diminished by a whole lot.
Moreover, Walterâs sanctions against Kai were due to him offending Nash.
If Kai apologized and Walter lifted the sanctions, her business would get back on its feet.
Narrowing his eyes, Kai stated, âIâve said it before. Even if I die, I wonât bow down and apologize to him!â
Helena frowned in annoyance. âBut we canât keep living like this. You have expensive taste, and I canât afford to support you!â
Had it been before, she would never have dared to be angry with Kai.
Yet now, after facing a month of business challenges and accumulating debt, things were
different.
Her father had gone gray overnight, her mother had left, and if things continued this way, she would be ruined.
Kai gritted his teeth and said, âIâll try to contact some old friends tomorrow!â
