My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1113

"Julus, calm down… I..." Josef was about to speak when an elderly man dressed in a robe with a long braid entered. "The remnants of the Young family must be exterminated!"

Anger flashed across the faces of the youths of the Klein family. Only members of the family's direct lineage could participate in a meeting in the ancestral hall. Who was this old man?

"Elder Wells! You've come out of seclusion!" Julus stood up and lowered his head. Josef also rose and lowered his head while leaning on his cane. "Greetings, Elder Wells!"

The youths were dumbfounded.

"Who is this old man? Even Grandpa Julus treats him with so much respect.”

"Look at his long braid, he must be a formidable figure!"

Someone looked toward Jaime Klein, the spokesperson of the family's youths. "Jaime, do you know this elder?" The others also cast curious glances at him.

Jaime was the son of Marvin Klein, the eldest son. As the heir to the family, he knew many secrets that others did not.

"He's my master, Gerolt Wells. He's the former secret guard of Emperor Neil Light of the Light Dynasty!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Jaime walked past the elders and kneeled beside Gerolt. "Greetings, Master!"

Gerolt nodded gently. "No need for so many formalities, my disciple."

"Thank you, Master Wells!" Jaime thanked him and then got up.

Gerolt looked at Josef and said lightly, "Anyone who remains from the Young family cannot be spared. The Kleins need not intervene. I'll handle the matter.”

Josef was about to reply, but Julus beat him to it. "In that case, we’ll have to trouble you for this, Elder Wells.”

Gerolt was half a step in the Profound Oriental Realm. With him taking action, Nash's demise was certain.

The Klein family was ranked third among the Ten Families of Capiton. Maintaining good relations with them was crucial for the Jackson family to maintain their current status.

Edwin sighed. "At just over 20 years old, Nash Calcraft is already strong enough to slay The Swordsman. Even among the Young family members from back then, he would have been considered a once-in-a-century martial genius.

"Although Lana doesn't usually concern herself with family matters, she has an astute judgment of people. Since she has advised us to stay away from the Klein family, there must be a reason behind it."

Lucas sneered. "It's most likely she's taken a liking to Nash. How shameless she is for falling for a married man. I suggest we expel her from the family!"

"Lucas, what nonsense are you spouting? Lana is your sister!" Lucas' father said with a stern expression.

Lucas scoffed. "So you've raised a fine daughter who’s willing to throw the family into the fire for a man?"

Could the Jackson family, with their vast enterprises, be swayed by just a woman?

Just as Edwin was about to speak up, the secretary beside him suddenly handed him a phone. "Sir, the head of the Klein family is calling!"
