My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1018

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. The caller clearly did not expect the chairman of Universal Group to be so straightforward.

"Yes, he's my half-brother," came the subdued response.

Fabian lifted the glass from the coffee table, swirled the red wine inside, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you plan to resolve this?"

The Charlie family’s strength was comparable to that of the Childe family. This inconvenience needed to be resolved.

"There's a saying in your country, 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.'”

“You can't kill this person," Fabian responded, his tone sounding a bit like a threat.

"We don't necessarily have to kill him. My girlfriend doesn't want to see Travis and Queenie being sued for corruption. If you help me settle this matter, I can consider not troubling him!"

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow," Fabian replied with a frown.

"I'll be in your country tomorrow. I want your answer within ten minutes!" With that, the person abruptly ended the call.

Fabian put down his phone. The glass in his hand had cracked. The little cat in his arms lifted its head and stared at him, its icy-blue eyes narrowing slightly.

Five minutes later, Fabian decided to call Frankie.

…

The next day, Nash dropped off Hera at the company's entrance. Hera’s legs were still weak when she got out of the car, nearly causing her to fall to the ground. Nash supported her gently and expressed his concern, "Be careful, dear."

Blushing, Hera teased, "Honey, let's call a truce tonight. I can't take much more of this!"

Yesterday afternoon, they had done the deed at Universal Group. Later that night, Nash once again went hard on her for several hours. Now, she was feeling sore all over.

Nash chuckled and replied, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Shall I carry you to the office?"

Hera did not shy away and opened her arms. Nash picked her up and carried her to the office, attracting envy from the onlookers.

"Oh, let me tell him." Lila grabbed Lynn's phone and explained, "It's because Frankie suddenly withdrew the lawsuit against Travis and Queenie. When Juan heard about it, he got into an argument with the man on the spot, accusing him of being cowardly and timid.”

Hearing this, Nash frowned.

Frankie had not informed him about withdrawing the lawsuit, so it must obviously be Fabian’s instruction.

Could the Graham family and the Charlie family still be connected somehow?

After hanging up the call with Lila, Nash called Fabian.

Fabian's phone was with his assistant, who replied that Fabian was in a meeting. Hearing this, Nash drove to Universal Group.

Upon arriving at the office, he saw Lila and Lynn sitting gloomily in front of their computers. When they noticed Nash's arrival, they greeted him.

"Where's Juan?"
