My Substitute CEO Bride

There were strong spiritual energy fluctuations between those mountains.

It was already noon when the funeral ended.

Adam could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Back in the courtyard, the village chief was inviting everyone to the table.

Nash, Hera, Melody, Adam, Hubert, Helena, Kai, Emory, the governor of Jenzburg, and the chief inspector were sitting at the same table.

Emory said solemnly, "We're all aware of what happened. All of Jimeney's and Ruben's misdeeds have been investigated. These two people are deeply corrupted and went against the law. They deserve death!"

They would not have known if they had not looked into it. The minute they did, they were all in for a great shock.

Jimeney and Ruben did not just collude to embezzle a large amount of the village poverty alleviation funds but also abused their positions to take advantage of many college students. The crimes they committed were enough for multiple death sentences. Adam stood up and lowered his head to everyone. "Thank you... Thank you!"

As an ordinary salaryman, he never expected that his mother's funeral would cause so many earth-shattering events.

Helena pursed her red lips and said, "Adam, I apologize to you for what my mother did!"

Everything in the past two days was caused by Helena's mother. Today, it almost caused Maria to miss the auspicious time for her burial. She thought of how Maria doted on her in every possible way back when she was still in school. She felt guilty. Adam smiled and said, "The matter is over, and my mother has been laid to rest. You don't have to feel guilty anymore!"

Nash picked up the cutlery and started eating. "Let's eat! We didn't eat anything in the morning. I'm starving!"

"Yes, yes, do eat."

Emory smiled and picked up the wine glass. He said to Nash, "Mr. Calcraft, you've eliminated harm for the people. On behalf of the 800,000 people in the county, I'd like to give you a toast!"

Nash picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Emory's. "I was just here by chance. Your local officials are the true pillars of the local people. Don't let the people down!"

Emory nodded repeatedly. "When I get back, I'll hold a conference and ask all cities to step up their efforts to combat corruption!"

Hera and Melody were confused.

When did Nash become an official? It was a high-ranking official position as well.

Hera even considered if she should be more low-key in her work in the future.

The meal was over, and Maria's funeral came to an end.

Just when Hubert's family was about to return to Jonford, they suddenly received a call from the hospital.

Rooney attempted suicide by jumping off a building, and they failed to save her.

Hubert was somewhat shocked by the news, but he could only close his eyes and cry. He was sad but relieved at the same time. Helena huddled in Kai's arms and cried bitterly.

In the end, the three of them decided to give Rooney a grand burial to send her on her last journey. They were still family, after all.

Nash watched Hubert's family leave.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He sighed softly. "There's karma for

everything. Rooney was driven by monetary desires and did bad things. The grave is her final destination!"

Hera was silent. Death had claimed Rooney, so there was no point in saying more.

"Are we going back to Jonford?" Melody was chatting with Sienna. She said, "The Fox Demon Adventures has been completed. Sienna plans to go to Jonford for a few days!"

"I still have some things to deal with.

We'll probably head back a little

later!" Nash planned to go to the

mountains to see where the spiritual energy came from. Perhaps he might stumble upon some treasures.

His current cultivation level was already at the peak of the Mystique Loyalty Realm. To break through to the Profound Oriental Realm, he would need a huge amount of spiritual power.

"You should go ahead and deal with it quickly. I have some matters to deal with as well!"

Hera planned to help Adam handle the family affairs.

If those greedy relatives were not dealt with properly, they might dig up Maria's grave in the future.

After Nash left, Hera asked Adam to notify his relatives to come over.

Adam replied, "Ms. Lewis, I can handle these small matters!"

Hera glanced at Adam and questioned, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

Adam's face turned red. He truly did not know how to deal with those crazy, greedy relatives who would resort to any means.

Could he discuss the law with them? They probably knew nothing about the law.

Could he reason with them? They would probably think they were in the right.

Those green-eyed monsters would do anything for money.

Adam and the group were afraid that if the matter was not handled well, those people would dig out his mother's remains as soon as he left Jenzburg. Melody smiled slightly and said, "Let's go. We'll go directly to their house..."
