My Substitute CEO Bride

"Ah... My hand! My hand, aaaaah!"

Rooney's wrist was broken, and the intense pain caused her to fall back onto the ground.

Hera looked down at Rooney and said, "You've crossed the line. Did you really think I was still the same Hera Lewis who would let others bully her?"

At that moment, her imposing aura was fully unleashed. She emitted an icy presence throughout her body.

The six retired bodyguards from the Dragon Soul Special Forces were even colder, ready to strike. With just a word from Hera, they were willing to kill this woman who was about to commit violence. "Outrageous..."

Jimeney stepped out of the car, accompanied by several political figures and the uniformed director of the Huevo County Inspection Office. A large number of inspectors poured out from the patrol cars behind, swiftly surrounding them. Jimeney glared at Hera and said, "Committing violence in public, do you have no regard for the law?"

As soon as this statement came out, many villagers felt ashamed.

Was this not the chief of Huevo County?

His cousin had pulled out a gun, and others were not allowed to defend themselves?

Even if he wanted to engage in corruption, could he not be so obvious about it?

The director of the Huevo County Inspection Office, Ruben Privett, waved his hand and ordered, "Arrest them..."

He was promoted by Jimeney and was destined to stand on the same side as Jimeney for the rest of his life.

Hence, dozens of inspectors immediately surrounded them. About ten of them started pulling out handcuffs.

Hera stared coldly at Jimeney.

"The law?

"Coming from your mouth, that word is an insult to the law!

"You're engaged in corruption, favoritism, and distortion of truth. These charges alone are enough to put you in jail for a lifetime!"

Hera was fearless, striding directly toward Jimeney. She was domineering, like an unscalable mountain.

In Jonford, she often negotiated business development and construction projects with the governor and the chief of the State Inspection Office. She had long possessed the aura to confront official personnel. Jimeney's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively took a step back.

Why did this woman exude such a powerful aura?

Her cousin said she was just a daughter of a third-rate family in Jonford.

However, the aura emanating from her was even stronger than that of the heads of first-rate families he had encountered.

"Arrest her..."

Jimeney panicked and ordered. Ruben stepped forward, his hand pressing down on Hera's shoulder.

A steady and powerful hand grabbed Ruben's wrist.

Ruben paused slightly, turning his head to meet a pair of deep and unfathomable eyes.

Those dark eyes emanated a sense of killing intent, piercing Ruben's heart like a sharp knife.

Who... was this person?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Why did a single glance alone enough to make him tremble?

"You... Let go..." Ruben's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Is this the law enforcement method of the Jenzburg Inspection Office?"

Nash's lips curved into a smirk, but the murderous intent in his eyes remained undiminished.

Ruben turned to his subordinates and shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for? These people are obstructing law enforcement Shoot them on the spot!"

The villagers of Stonywood Village turned pale, their hearts racing to their throats.

They now realized how murky the waters of Huevo County truly were.

"I dare you all to do it..."

A roar came from the distance.

Everyone turned to look. They saw the road, which was filled with luxury cars yesterday, crowded with cars as far as the eye could see. Some were patrol cars while others were private vehicles.

The doors opened, and nearly a thousand armed soldiers emerged.

"Gosh... the governor of Jenzburg is here! I saw him before on TV!"

"And the head of the Jenzburg Inspection Office is here too!"

"But why are they all standing behind? Who's the old man in the front?"

The villagers were stunned. The scenes they had witnessed in the past two days completely overturned their imagination.

Yesterday, there was a gathering of wealthy families. Today, it was a convergence of government officials.

Was the Temby family's funeral in trouble?
