My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 77
Although his eyes were closed in meditation, he did not miss any of the conversations happening around him.
Seeing Kai walk over with Helena, he turned and stood in front of the two.
Kai had just witnessed the horror of this masked man. He put away his usual arrogance and politely laughed. âWe⦠just wanted to offer a toast to the warden!â
Helena cooed in agreement, âYes, the warden cares for the country and the people. He defends the Northern Territory. We should show our respect!â
âScram!â
Nashâs voice was icy cold.
The moment his aura emerged, a wave of chill instantly enveloped the two.
The glasses in Kaiâs and Helenâs hands mysteriously shattered, causing the wine to spill all over them.
Walter saw his grandson stopped by the Smiling Grim Reaper and quickly got up to walk over to them. âWhatâs going on?â
Kai said with a trembling voice, âWe⦠We just wanted to have a drink with the wardenâ¦â
Helena pleaded, âGrandpa, you must help us⦠We admire the warden a lotâ¦â
âAre you the girlfriend Kai has been seeing lately?â
Walter slightly furrowed his brows.
He saw urgency and eagerness in Helenaâs eyes.
This womanâs eagerness to have a toast with the warden was probably due to other reasons.
âYes, my name is Helena Lewis!â
This was Helena and Walterâs first meeting.
As she was in a hurry, she had forgotten to introduce herself.
Walter looked at Kai and said, âYou two should step back. The warden isnât well and can only have three drinks. Even I donât
have the chance to toast the wardenâ¦â
Theo had already had two drinks with the warden, one on behalf of his grandfather and the other on behalf of Mr. Lewis.
Walter did not think he had a chance.
âIt doesnât have to be alcohol! Juice or tea is fine too.â
Helena said in desperate haste.
If she could not have a drink with the warden, she would lose 1.5 million.
Nash took a slow step forward. âWill you leave on your own, or should I make you?â
Walterâs face darkened, and he immediately scolded the two, âGet lost now!â
Seeing his usually gentle grandfather angry with him, Kai realized the seriousness of the situation.
After all, standing in front of them was a top-tier powerhouse with overwhelming strength.
âLetâs go!â
âButâ¦â
âStop embarrassing me!â Kai said coldly, then without paying any more attention to Helena, he left in big strides.
Helena, feeling disheartened, lowered her head and walked back to her table.
âYay⦠We won!â
Hera nearly jumped up in excitement.
1.5 million!
This was 1.5 million!
Even the peak annual profit of Baroque could not reach 1.5 million.
Nash heard Heraâs joyous voice, and the corner of his mouth slowly curved up.
The woman was so happy from just 1.5 million.
If he gave her 450 million, would she offer herself right away?
Meanwhile, Helena sat back down.
Rooney quickly pocketed Helenaâs bank card, saying, âWhat are you kids doing, placing bets and all?! What was said before is no longer valid!â
âWhatâs the matter? You canât even afford this much?â
Skadi looked at Helena with a face full of mockery.
Lauren and Harrison also showed signs of displeasure on their faces.
Then, Hubert laughed dryly. âWeâre all family here. Letâs not take a joke too seriously!â
Lauren snorted coldly. âA joke?â
She raised an eyebrow at Helena. âHelena, you tell me. Was this all a joke?â
