My Substitute CEO Bride

Chad crashed through the wall of the villa and ended up in a crumpled heap outside. His bones had shattered from the force, and his body twitched a few times when he was on the ground before he finally lost consciousness. "Ahhh! You dare hit my dad?! I'll kill you!" Reanna rushed at Nash in a frenzy.

Nash showed no mercy and kicked her away. Charlie was so scared that he wet himself. Nash frowned slightly and kicked him away as well.

It was then that Yvonne ran up to Nash excitedly, her beauty radiant as she exclaimed, "Nash, you're so cool!"

Nash calmly walked to the couch and reached out to touch Zeke's forehead. There was a malevolent aura in Zeke's body that Nash needed to draw out to wake him from the possession. After about five minutes, Zeke's eyes gradually cleared.

Nash withdrew his hand, a red malevolent aura enveloping it. He gently circulated his spiritual power and instantly absorbed the malevolent energy into his core to be swallowed by his nascent soul. "What... happened to me?"

Zeke looked at Nash in confusion, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "You... You're Hera's husband?"

Nash simply nodded.

Zeke eagerly stood up, clasping Nash's hands. "My grandson-in-law, are you here to help us?"

Nash pulled his hand back and nodded again. "I'll help you resolve the difficulties the Mare family is currently facing, but only this once."

Zeke sensed Nash's lack of fondness toward him and slapped himself bitterly. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have treated Lauren the way I did back then."

At this moment, Leonard and Minerva descended the stairs. "Nash, you've offended the Dragon King. No one can protect you now. You'd better leave the Mare family right away!" Minerva said coldly.

Yvonne instantly exploded at Minerva's aggression, "Minerva, have you no conscience? Nash helped us and you want to kick him out?"

"The adults are talking. You have no business here, you bitch!" Minerva retorted like a shrew with her hands on her hips.

James stormed toward the steps, grabbed Minerva by the hair, and slapped her twice. "Damn wretch!"

Minerva screamed bloody murder.

"James!" Leonard tried to intervene, but James kicked him to the ground.

Yvonne fanned the flames even more and urged, "Uncle James, kill her! Kill this malicious and ungrateful woman!" James continued slapping Minerva as if he were releasing years of suppressed anger.

"Dad, save me! This scumbag's trying to kill me!" Minerva tearfully pleaded to Zeke. She knew James' temper well. Only the patriarch could restrain him.

"James, stop it!"

Zeke spoke with bitterness in his voice. James kicked Minerva in the abdomen. Towering over her and staring down at her like she was a dog, he said, "Disrespect Nash again and I'll finish you off!"

Minerva writhed in pain and tearfully cried out, "I won't do it anymore, I won't!"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Zeke turned to Leonard and said, "Take her to the hospital."

Leonard nodded and quickly helped Minerva up to lead her out of the villa's entrance.

"No... I won't go, I'm not going anywhere!" Minerva broke free from Leonard's grasp and ran upstairs.

Nash had struck Nalarov, which would surely enrage the Petro family. Going out now would be suicide.

Leonard turned to Nash and apologized with a remorseful expression, "Nash, I'm sorry. My wife... She's just like that."

Nash lifted the teacup to his mouth

and took a small sip. Minerva's personality reminded him of Rooney Yaar, Hubert Lewis' wife. Nash could not help but wonder if they were related.

James poured Nash another cup of tea and said, "Nash, the Petro family won't let you off for striking Nalarov. Why don't you leave Capiton?"
