My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1017

"Father."

"You heard about your brothers, right?" Oliver asked.

"I've heard," Silas replied with a complicated expression. "This won’t be something easy to handle. The Inspection Department operates under the chairman’s jurisdiction. With our position among the shareholders, we don't have the qualification to appeal to the chairman.”

"No wonder the Inspection Department acts so boldly," Oliver said as he massaged his temples. To save Travis and Queenie, they had to persuade the Inspection Department and the Legal Department to drop the charges.

The Graham family held some stake in Universal Group. He had intended to leverage their status as a shareholder to talk to the director of the Inspection Department, but now it looked like the approach was off the table.

“Minnie will return to the country tomorrow. I'll have her talk to Mr. Calcraft,” Silas suggested.

Oliver sighed softly. "We can only do that now.”

Meanwhile, Nash had just returned to Royal Bay with Hera when he received a call from Angelica. This made him wonder if information had turned up about Cassie. Nash quickly fished out his phone and answered the call.

"Mr. Calcraft, Miss Queenie has something to say to you," Angelica said before handing the phone to Queenie.

Queenie's voice sounded from the other end of the line. "Nash, I can let go of the matter with Justin. As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, I can get the Charlie family to spare you!"

Nash was slightly startled. "You’re the one directing the Charlie family?”

Queenie replied casually, "I don't know what you're saying, but you should get what I’m trying to say. My eldest sister is the girlfriend of the heir apparent of the Charlie family. All my sister needs to do is give the word and the family will stop troubling you.”

"Is there anything else?" Nash smiled faintly.

"If you persist in your stubbornness, then just wait for the fury of the Charlie family to befall you!" Queenie said and hung up the phone coldly.

Nash put away his phone nonchalantly as Hera asked in a quiet voice, "Did someone really instruct Leon to approach me?"

Nash sat on the couch and pulled Hera onto his lap. Smiling faintly, he replied, "They want to use the Charlie family to deal with me.”

Fabian replied, "About two years ago. I'm quite familiar with the young sir of the Charlie family. I'll negotiate with him, but don't hold too much hope."

Nash calmly replied, "If it can be settled, then settle it. If not, I'll handle it myself."

Fabian sneered. "While you have the power to be arrogant, I advise you to be more low-key when facing the Charlie family. They're not people you can afford to provoke.”

Nash did not bother replying to that and just ended the call.

Fabian had been grooming his pet cat in his luxurious mansion. He was sitting on the couch with a stunned look on his face. Nash had hung up on him again. Very few people dared to do that to him.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger, Fabian dialed another number.

"Mr. Hughes, how are you?" the voice on the other end greeted him.

"Did someone from the Charlie family die?" Fabian asked directly.
