My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 384

Nash’s words touched Melody.

She could not imagine what Nash had gone through all these years.

She wondered how many deaths did it take to shape who Nash was today.

The two cars drove toward Xanthalos.

Jonford was 15,000 kilometers away from Xanthalos.

It was roughly a 20-hour drive.

At ten o’clock in the morning, Nash received a call from Brian.

“Grandmaster… Old Mare had food poisoning, but he’s fine now!”

“Food poisoning? What did he eat?” Nash asked in surprise.

“Some fungi. It should’ve been some poisonous mushrooms!”

“The Mares are a second-class family, indeed. The cooks can’t even tell the difference between safe and poisonous

mushrooms!” Nash sneered. Someone within the family might have tampered with the food.

“The situation with the Mares is rather complicated. Old Mare holds the power in the family so tightly, I suspect it’s

due to internal family conflicts!” Brian’s response confirmed Nash’s suspicions.

Personal gain could make one lose sight of family.

“Tell Hera to not start any conflict with the Mares!”

Families competing for properties were very dangerous, and they were willing to do anything to win.

Lauren had not returned to her family for decades. Her sudden return would inevitably arouse the suspicion of

others.

“I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult…” Brian said with a wry smile.

At the same time, at the Mare household in Capiton, more than 30 people were sitting in the luxurious villa’s living

room.

Lauren’s family was ridiculed and targeted by other families.

“You haven’t been home for more than 20 years. The moment you heard that your

grandfather was ill, you came rushing back… You’re obviously back just for your share of the inheritance!”

“That’s right. I’ve seen people who are shameless but never to this extent!”

“Not only is this shameless behavior, but it’s simply despicable… Fortunately, Old Mare was saved. Otherwise, he

wouldn’t have found peace if he had died!”

A group of middle-aged people in gorgeous clothes were gossiping away.

They were not loud, but their tones were extremely harsh.

Lauren’s face was as pale as paper.

“Have you said enough?”

Hera could not listen further, so she stood up and yelled at everyone.

During her fight with Helena, she understood something.

Weakness would not be shown mercy.
