My Substitute CEO Bride

Baroque had many orders, with advance payments totaling billions. However, this fund was a public fund. It was going to be used for branch constructions. There was hardly any spare cash available. Harrison lifted his glass of red wine, took a sip, and smiled. "We delivered the goods, and Ms. Olivia settled the final payments on the same day. The other companies did the same!"

Every company had cases of overdue final payments. Baroque had their fair share of cash flow shortages several times due to delays in retrieving final payments.

Most companies would rather take out bank loans than push customers too hard since it was not a one-time deal.

With a smile on her face, Hera held Melody's hand tightly. "Mel, you should take the money. Tomorrow, we'll attend the grand opening of Gladwell and try to secure a mountaintop villa!" The mountaintop villa would cost two billion. She could still fork out the remaining 500 million.

"Godmom, Goddad, I can't accept your money. You consider me as your goddaughter, so it should be me who should be giving these things to you!"

Melody understood Baroque's situation. The 1.5 billion might be all the money her godparents just recouped. Moreover, she and Nash were now in a romantic relationship.

She felt she owed Hera's family.

Harrison's expression turned serious. "This is our heartfelt gesture, Mel. You must accept it!"

Lauren said gently, "Listen to us and accept it!"

Feeling her godparents' love, Melody's eyes instantly became moist, and tears began to fall. Nash's heart fluttered slightly. The last time he saw Melody cry was when her grandmother passed away.

The 1.5 billion in this card represented Lauren and Harrison's kind intentions as they considered Melody as part of their family, so Nash kept silent.

Seeing Melody in tears, Hera's eyes also welled up. She squeezed Melody's hand and said with pursed lips, "Mel, just accept it. We're all family!"

"Okay."

"Thank you, Godmom and Goddad!" Melody took the bank card with red eyes.

Lauren and Harrison exchanged smiles as they looked at the two women and their partner.

The more they looked, the more satisfied they felt.

At the dinner table, Harrison and Nash were drinking a whole lot.

In the end, Harrison was carried out of the private room by Nash. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The two of them stayed in a room at the hotel.

Then, Nash went to Robin's room to check on him and Jasmine's injuries.

The door was not locked, so Nash just walked in.

Robin was sitting by the bed taking

care

dane, holding a bowl of

medicine and feeding it

to Jasmine spoon by spoon.

"It's so hot... Are you trying to kill me?" Jasmine glared coldly at Robin.

He fed her the freshly brewed medicine from the pot without cooling it down. Did he not know it was hot?

Did he not know how to take care of someone?

Robin shrugged. "Can you stop being so dramatic?"

After all, she was from the Dragon Soul Special Forces. Could she not handle this little heat?

How embarrassing!

Although he was dissatisfied both in his words and in his heart, he blew on the spoonful of medicine again before feeding it to Jasce more.

After drinking the medicine, Robin laid Jasmine flat on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Then, he lit a cigarette and sat

beside her, puffing out smoke rings. His dark eyes looked at Jasmine's cool yet beautiful face. He smirked lecherously, "Jasmine, since you can't move now, can I... Hehehe..."
