My Substitute CEO Bride

Upon hearing Cain’s words, Nash could not help but sigh inwardly.

His worst fear had come true.

The people Cain mentioned should be the Kleins.

“If you don’t want to die, answer my question…”

Nash had already walked up to Cain.

The needle of the syringe in his hand emitted a chilling gleam.

Cain’s lips trembled, and he stared at Nash, asking, “You… You’re not one of them?”

It was only now that he realized that if Nash were one of them, he would not be asking why he harmed Herman.

“Who’s this ‘they’ you’re referring to?”

Nash asked calmly.

Cain hesitated, still not answering Nash’s question. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Nash snorted coldly and directly stuck the syringe into Cain’s chest, slowly placing his thumb on the pushing rod.

“Don’t… I’ll talk… I’ll talk…”

Cain’s pupils contracted intensely as he hurriedly exclaimed.

Nash withdrew the syringe, staring at the man in front of him with a cold gaze.

Cain took a deep breath and slowly said, “I don’t know who they are either. They gave me 200 million and asked me to find a way to get rid of Herman…”

He cautiously glanced at the masked person’s eyes and, seeing his icy expression, he continued, “I initially refused, but they threatened the safety of my family… I told them that Herman was already terminally ill, and it wouldn’t be too long now, but they gave me a potion to inject into Herman’s body. This way, it wouldn’t be traced back to anyone…”

Nash asked indifferently, “Then why is Herman all better now?”

By asking this question, he wanted to absolve himself of suspicion as Nash.

Cain forced a bitter smile and replied, “There’s a villager who came down from Tili Mountain and miraculously saved Herman from the brink of death…”

Nash continued to inquire, “Was the death of the nanny also orchestrated by you?”

Cain immediately shook his head, “I had nothing to do with that… It must have been their doing…”

Nash raised the syringe in his hand, pushing out a drop of transparent liquid. He continued asking, “Does Hubert’s family also

know about this?”

Cain shuddered and quickly nodded. “Yes, they also know about it. They even said that if I could help them acquire the Lewises

assets, they’d give me half…”

Just as Cain was done speaking, a deafening gunshot sounded from outside.

Almost simultaneously, Nash forcefully pushed Cain aside, while a three-centimeter bullet grazed past Nash’s temple.

The bullet did not penetrate the wall. Instead, the concrete wall was blasted with a huge hole.

Nash swiftly turned around and took a step toward the window, his gaze fixed on a skyscraper located a kilometer away.

There was another gunshot.

Nash extended two fingers and caught the bullet.

Near the window of a certain floor on the skyscraper, a middle-aged man dressed in a security uniform looked shocked.

He skillfully disassembled the sniper rifle into pieces and swiftly fled the scene.

An hour later, a large number of patrol cars arrived at the Lewis family’s estate.

The members of the Lewis family were all sitting in the living room of Herman’s villa, their faces filled with fear. They were

wide awake.

Harrison asked with concern, “Uncle, have you offended someone recently?”

Cain shook his head repeatedly. “I… I’m just an old man. I’ve long ceased to meddle in business matters. How could I have offended anyone?”

He dared not reveal the truth behind the incident. He did not want the entire Lewis family to know that he had planned to kill his own younger brother for money.

Otherwise, he and his family would bear a terrible reputation.

“I bet it’s all because of that jinx, Nash!” Rooney muttered with a scornful expression.

Lauren looked at Rooney coldly and said, “Why are you bringing Nash into this? Nash has already been chased out from the Lewis family’s estate. What else do you want?”

“Before Nash came, the Lewises were fine, right? But since this jinx arrived, the old man fell critically ill, and then…”

“Shut it!”
