The CEO’s Substitute Lover

“I don’t care how many lovers there are in my father’s bed, but please make an appointment with my secretary to enter the office of the President of Group Davi in Group Davi, or get out so as not to pollute the air in my office.” Tredan didn’t even raise his head; he spoke coldly and without emotion!

Ottilie Berkes, already used to his vitriol, moved gracefully towards the sofa and chairs where the VIPs were received, sat down and poured herself a nice cup of tea and sipped it slowly, knowing where Tredan’s sore spots were, just as Tredan always caught her where it hurt the most rubbing salt into them.

“I sleep in the big bridal bed that I bought with your father, 2 meters long, in the master bedroom of the new Group Davi house for me and your father only, and the mattress was so comfortable, your father forgot all about your mother, that’s why the mattress in the old Group Davi house was full of wild flowers and weeds that wanted to warm your father’s bed! ”

Tredan’s hand clenched and broke his pencil as he watched the woman he hated sitting so casually in his office. He got up and walked over to where Ottilie Berkes was sitting.

“Wildflowers and weeds? How well said! How dare my father allow you, a wildflower who destroys earthly families, to take my mother’s place as his bed-warmer on his new bedstead? How nasty a heart does one have to have to help a man give birth to an illegitimate son like that, not to mention being a mistress yourself, but to let his son suffer the world’s gossip along with you, a mother who is a vixen third party in the eyes of outsiders. I have admiration for you, for such a bed-warming position, is it necessary to be so wretched? Do you really think you’re covering up your inferiority by painting yourself so shiny?”

Every word of Tredan’s was like a long silver needle stabbing deep into her heart. Especially when it was said that her son, Eddison was illegitimate, she was so outraged that she almost crushed the teacup in her hand.

“Eddison is Floyd Davi’s legitimate son, his name is on the Floyd Davi family book and it clearly states that he is the father, and son to Floyd Davi! Don’t you feel sorry for yourself? Don’t you feel like an outsider who gets in the way of someone’s family happiness every time you go to dinner at Group Davi’s new house? I feel sorry for your mother, who is really nothing. I wouldn’t go into that house if I were you and dine like a passerby. If you had time to visit your mother, who has selective amnesia due to depression, and talk to her, you wouldn’t be so lonely as an abandoned child!”

Huh, a mother with amnesia? A wild child? A legitimate son of his turned into a ‘wild child’ banished from his father’s heart with the words of this nameless mistress. What a ridiculous joke this was.

“If you think you have enough strength to pull that little venomous stunt in front of the president of this Group Davi, let me kindly remind you that half an hour later, I’m afraid your brother will be taken away by the inspectorate. As his sister, you should cry for him and give him a lift!”

Ottilie Berkes got up with a serious look on her face, took a few steps toward Tredan, and warned him, “If anything happens to my brother this time, I will not let you off the hook. Take my word for it! I, Ottilie, am not one to be underestimated!”

Upon hearing this, Tredan applauded her and sent her out with a message saying, “I’ll be waiting for you!”

Ottilie Berkes, who had watched her only brother being taken away by the inspectors, was heartbroken and ashamed that her parents told her that she had failed to take care of him. But she blamed Tredan who hates her guts, vowed to make Tredan pay, and to take Group Davi for her son Eddison.

Ottilie Berkes saw the Drye Family on the TV news, and looking at the beautiful and generous Lilian Drye, Ottilie Berkes suddenly had an idea and picked up the phone to call his son Eddison.

“Hey, Mom, what do you want to see me about? I was just about to ask you to go to dinner?” Eddison’s cheerful, melodious voice came through and Ottilie Berkes felt instantly comforted!

“My good son, mum won’t be eating with you, mum’s got a date for you, you’ll have to help mum entertain someone, okay?” Ottilie Berkes was like a loving mother at the moment, but the sinister look on her face just now had long since disappeared in front of Eddison.

“Ouch, who is it that is so important that can make my mother think so highly of? If you say so, your son won’t let you down!” Ottilie Berkes was relieved that this time. No matter what, Tredan would be kicked out of the company, and if she could get him out of the house, Ottilie Berkes will have the power to make the presidency hers.

“You’ll know when you get there, you’ll have to be there waiting before the others, and you can’t let her think that Ottilie Berkes’ son has no manners, okay? Better make her fall under your charms in one go!” Well, Ottilie Berkes is really so wise!

“Mom, you’re not setting me up on some blind date, are you? I refuse!”

“Eddison, are you trying to piss off your mother? Do you know that your uncle was framed by Tredan and was taken away this morning by the prosecutor’s office? If you don’t fight for your mum and get some real power, your mum will be the next one to be taken to the police by Tredan! Ottilie Berkes looked at her son, he would not refuse her. She knew that her son’s greatest virtue was his filial piety, and reluctantly, Eddison gave in.

“Uncle? Mum, what’s going on? Why would big brother do this? We haven’t fought with him for anything, why on earth would he do this?” Eddison, who didn’t understand the reason, couldn’t believe it. His big brother had never been close to him all these years, but he had never set him up or bullied him. Could there be some misunderstanding here? Her mother and uncle must have misunderstood that Tredan had set him up. He would have to find out some other time!

“You must please this woman, you must not offend her, the power of the Drye Family will not only save your father’s project that has been shut down and postponed. By saving that project, your uncle may have a chance to be released on bail with a reprieve. Eddison, you must strictly remember that Lilian is a valuable person to our family. Mum will be waiting for your good news at home!”

Under a relentless pressure from his mother, Eddison remembers Ottilie Berkes’ instructions and prepares for his date with Lilian Drye, the princess of the Drye Family.

Sitting in a unique French restaurant in the city, Eddison was dressed in a white suit, attracting attention, and his handsome face was particularly gleaming against his white suit. What a handsome man!

Lilian Drye was dressed in the latest fashionable patchwork dress, the yellowish skirt accentuated her fair skin, with the jagged skirt tails falling unconventionally from her thighs, the gold and pink beaded tassels swayed with the rhythm of her hips. It was so seductive, Eddison kept staring at Lilian Drye from the moment she came in. The princess was all decked out in designer clothes and carrying the latest LV bag, a limited edition of only six pieces worldwide this year.

Lilian Drye had been particularly annoyed going to this appointment, knowing full well that Tredan and Ottilie Berkes were in an adversarial relationship. But she thought she shouldn’t be afraid to go even if it was Ottilie Berkes who asked her out! Lest, the business world laugh at her for being a cowardly princess of the Drye Family.

“Hello, Ms. Lilian, my name is Eddison! I’ve heard that you are a beautiful woman, but when I saw you today, you’re more than beautiful, you look like a fairy coming down to earth. Eddison is a true prodigal son of the world. With just a few words, he made the overbearing Lilian Drye curb her haughty stance.

“Hello, Mr. Eddison, you’re such a joker!” To Lilian Drye’s surprise, the smiling Eddison who greeted her did not turn her off, and she was happy to sit down and chat as a friend, seeing as he had such good taste and discernment in complimenting her.

“Ms. Lilian, here’s the menu, what would you like to eat? However, I ordered a rare steak that you like, your favorite ridgeback, and an 82-year-old Lafite that you particularly like, while I was waiting for you. I thought you hadn’t eaten yet, so I took the liberty of ordering it at the right time. I could only hope that you will accept my little thought! Eddison’s thoughtfulness, I’m afraid, can capture a woman’s heart in seconds.

“Ha… Mr. Eddison, you are really very funny, and I would like to thank you for that thoughtful act! Just how did you know that these are my favorite? I’m afraid my mother doesn’t even know as much as you do!” Lilian Drye thought to herself, I’ve had a rough couple of days with Tredan, so it’s nice to have someone to comfort me!

“If you have a sincere heart, you’ll know it all!” Having spent his days in a variety of florals, Eddison has become a veritable prince of love affairs. He’s a great deal better at dealing with Lilian Drye, a woman who is so arrogant that she is not easy to woo. First, he expressed his small admiration with a warm shower of praise, and then he gave her a subtle, gentle touch, which successfully transformed him into a non-repulsive admirer. It would also complete his own account to his mother!

Eddison and Lilian Drye had a lovely dinner together, making Lilian Drye confident of her beauty and charm even more.

After Eddison drove Lilian Drye home, he called his mother to give her an account on what went on over the dinner with Lilian.

As she got home, Lilian Drye told the first person she saw to prepare a hot bath for her, so she could finally take a nice bath after a long day.

Thinking of the joy that Eddison, her admirer, had brought her, Lilian Drye considered that if Tredan ever failed her, she would be able to use Eddison, and if Tredan married her, she would help him get rid of the mother and son. If Tredan abandoned her, she would leave Tredan with nothing, including the position he now holds as President of Group Davi.

Octavia Gills slept particularly well until the she felt the hot sun on her buttocks. She got up drowsily, opened the window and breathed deeply to feel the warmth of the sun on her face.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Dressed in warm set of pyjamas with cartoonish prints, Octavia Gills looked youthful today, except that deep inside, a hint of sentimentality was hidden through her eyes, betraying her pretense of a normal life. She thought of Tredan and missed him so much…
