My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1316

Melody emphasized the words 'my man' as if she was declaring her sovereignty. The wealthy heiress from Blackburn paled before flushing red. Ultimately, she huffed and went to complain to her father.

Upon hearing that his daughter had been bullied, Armand Konick, Blackburn's wealthiest man, immediately frowned and demanded, "Who dares to bully my precious daughter?"

Aggrieved, Agatha pointed at Melody. "It's that woman.”

Armand was known in Blackburn for his fierce temper, but when he saw Nash with his arm around Melody's waist, his imposing demeanor instantly softened as he hissed quietly.

"Are you sick in the head? That's Mr. Calcraft's girlfriend. Why would you provoke her? What do you expect me to do, help you snatch Mr. Calcraft from his girlfriend? Do you think Mr. Calcraft is that shallow? Get lost and don't disturb me while I'm drinking!"

Scolded by her beloved father, Agatha cried bitterly. Irritated, Armand simply sent her to another table.

The evening was filled with many toasts. Nash had to drink while using his cultivation to counteract the alcohol. The banquet did not conclude until midnight.

Shanice and Enzo, along with a team of staff, arranged guest rooms for everyone. Luckily, the Empire Hotel was large enough that they still had over a hundred rooms vacant after accommodating each family—even with each room being a suite.

Nash returned to his room to massage Melody's still-healing injuries. Lying on Nash's legs, Melody looked up at his chiseled face and pouted. "With so many women fawning over you, did you enjoy the night?"

Nash coughed twice. "I don't have any thoughts about them. They're my guests. I couldn't afford to lose my grace, could I?"

Melody looked at him with a hint of resentment. "Who knows what you're really thinking?"

Nash licked his lips, his eyes narrowing. "I'll make you understand what I'm thinking." As he said this, he grabbed Melody's shoulder strap and pulled it down.
