My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1804

Minerva’s features twisted into a frown, her expression mocking and angry. Hera's family was also a picture of arrogance. They initially thought the man that Hera kept had come to the Mare family to present a generous gift and offer his humble greetings.

Who would have expected him to not only be empty-handed but also brush off Leonard's attempts at flattering him?

If Hera had not been the one who invited him over to help the family, Minerva would have chased him away.

“Minerva, shut up!” Leonard roared at her with a frown.

Minerva scoffed. “Was I wrong?”

Leonard’s palm went flying. “Are you done?”

Realizing that Leonard slapped her, Minerva glared back at him. Only then did she notice that Leonard was desperately hinting at her. She finally recalled that the Mare family was on the verge of bankruptcy. They needed help from Hera and Nash to get through this crisis.

After glancing at Minerva in disgust, Nash walked into the manor.

Yvonne immediately approached him and linked her arms with his with affection. While fluttering her eyes, she complimented, "Nash, I noticed you’ve become more handsome than before!"

Nash pulled his arm away, annoyed. He scolded her, "Don't you know that men and women shouldn’t get too close?"

Yvonne pursed her lips. "What's wrong? I only see you as my cousin-in-law. I don't have any improper thoughts toward you!"

Nash's mouth twitched when he heard her response. ‘It wouldn’t be good if she actually started having improper thoughts,’ he thought to himself.

In the villa, Zeke looked to be in a trance as he sat on the couch. With just one look, Nash knew that Zeke was in a bewitched state at the moment. Just as Leonard and others walked into the living room, James ordered, "Yvonne, go make a cup of tea for your cousin's husband!"

Yvonne instructed the maid to make tea.

Nash proceeded to sit on the couch and calmly asked, "Tell me, what are the problems you're facing?”

"It started from..."

A hint of coldness flashed in Liam's eyes. He said, "Our uncle is going overboard. Does he really think that our lineage is easily bullied?"

Knowing that his uncle was now with the Mare family and worried that he might be able to hear them, Leonard whispered, "It’s best we don’t make assumptions before the investigation result is out!"

The reason the family was able to stabilize themselves in this situation was due to the third uncle's support. It would only make things worse for their family if he was angered.

The moment Leonard said that, there were noises outside. A well-dressed middle-aged man in a suit strode into the living room along with a man and a woman. With a cold snort and fake smile, the middle-aged man said, "I heard that there's an important guest today, Leonard. Yet, you failed to inform me!"

As Yvonne placed the brewed tea on the coffee table, she introduced the middle-aged man to Nash in a soft voice, "This person is my great-grandfather's son, Chad. He hired someone to assassinate Hera before.”

As soon as Nash heard that, his eyes turned cold instantly.

Leonard gave Chad a nonchalant look and replied, "He is not here to see you anyway. What does it have to do with you?"

The eldest uncle's lineage and the third uncle's lineage both had their own opinions about each other.
