My Substitute CEO Bride

“When did you start taking an interest in this kind of news?” Yelzog lifted his wine glass elegantly and took a sip. He had heard about the incident yesterday but did not pay it much mind. The collapse of Royal Bay was good news for Gladwell.

Ishmael glanced at Yelzog and snorted coldly. “Doesn’t Nash Calcraft live in Royal Bay? Did someone who has a grudge against him cause it?”

When Rosella heard that, she paused slightly while fiddling with her phone. Then, she called out toward the entrance of the dining room, Butler, prepare the helicopter for me!”

“Yes, Miss!”

The butler moved slowly in making the call so that the patriarch or the former patriarch could stop him and by extension her should they want to. However, neither of the men said anything. A hint of appreciation even flickered in the former patriarch’s eyes. The butler then moved with more confidence and instructed his subordinates to prepare the helicopter.

Rosella’s mother, however, frowned slightly as she asked, “Why are you going to Jonford?”

“To look for Nash,” Rosella replied without hesitation.

Pamela’s tone turned cold. “Why are you looking for him? If what your grandfather said is true and Nash’s enemies are in Jonford, wouldn’t it be dangerous for you to go?”

“What big shot isn’t ever in danger? Doesn’t our family encounter any fewer dangers every month?” Rosella retorted, refusing to back down.

“You…”

“Is Rosella wrong?” Ishmael snorted coldly. Pamela could only shake her head and sigh. She could not wrap her

head around what Ishmael and Yelzog were thinking. With how

outstanding Rosella was, there were plenty of men available. Yet they

still insisted on letting her chase after Nash, who was already married.

Seeing his daughter-in-law’s reluctance, Ishmael lowered his voice

and said, “I received information from an old friend of mine that Nash

has obtained the Nine Dragons Sword.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“What?”

The usually dignified, elegant, and cultured Panela’s eyes widened

astonishment. Even Yelzog could not believe what he was hea

from his father.

With the Nine Dragons Sword, one could behead both royal relative and corrupt officials with one stroke and claim supremacy. Wielding it truly put one above all others!

Ishmael smiled faintly. “Not only did he acquire the Nine Dragons Sword, but he was also personally appointed by the Sovereign as the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron!”

Pamela’s eyelids fluttered rapidly and her breath became rapid.

“Has this been confirmed?” Yelzog asked in a trembling voice. Recalling that his father’s former comrades were elders of the Divine

Strategy Squadron, Yelzog slapped himself lightly. “I’ve spoken too

much!”

Rosella looked at her father with confusion and asked, “What’s the

Nine Dragons Sword? And the Celestial Dragon Squadron?”

Before Yelzog could answer, Ishmael set down his wine glass and

said, “They are symbols of power. The leader of the Celestial Dragon

Squadron is comparable to the status of a general, and with the Nine

Dragons Sword, Nash surpasses even the four great generals.

“Let me put it this way. If the four great generals were to commit

unforgivable crimes, Nash can use the Nine Dragons Sword to

execute them despite their merits!”

Rosella gasped in shock.

Pamela said gently, “Rosella, remember, haste makes waste. If your want to attract a man, you must first demonstrate your outstanding

qualities aside from your beauty. Figures like Nash have no s age of women surrounding them, after all.”

Rosella looked at her mother strangely. “Mom, didn’t you just

not to go to Jonford?”
