My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1353

What the heck? This woman was Hera Lewis?

Lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, Maurice felt his heart pounding wildly. He was a local of Jonford, but because of his poor background, he was unable to mingle within the wealthy circle.

However, he had heard of Hera's name from some drinking buddies during their dinners. She was Jonford’s notorious big shot, also known as the Chip Queen.

Even Xeno Hun of the Dragon Tiger Gate feared her to some extent. He had only wanted to leverage Hans' influence to get a woman so that he could bid farewell to his singlehood. How did he end up attracting Hera's attention?

"The Tattle family of Brume?" Hera’s brows furrowed slightly before she turned to Eva behind her. "Look up this family.”

Eva took out her phone and asked her social group. It was not long before she received information about them.

"Ms. Lewis, the Tattle family is one of the four major martial arts families of Brume," Eva explained calmly.

Hera nodded, her expression curious. Just yesterday, both the Zink and Yeom families from Brume met with Southern Heaven Pharmaceuticals for cooperation talks.

The two families also seemed to be martial arts families. The Zink family was even the number one martial arts family in Brume, with a history of over four hundred years.

Hera stared at Hans coldly and said, "Apologize to my best friend.”

Since he was from a martial arts family and he had been punished, there was no need to incur lasting enmity.

Hans quickly lowered his head to Skadi. "I'm sorry.”

Skadi approached him and slapped him across the face with a loud smack before adding coldly, "I forgive you."

Despite having never suffered such humiliation before, especially being in Jonford now and in front of these women, Hans remained silent. He did not even dare to harbor any resentment.

Was Hera formidable? In a way. She had stirred up trouble in Jonford but did not pose a threat to a martial arts family like Hans'. In fact, the Tattle family could easily crush Hera's influence.

However, Nash Calcraft, the man feared and courted by almost half of the top circles, was the one backing her. While Hera could not affect the Tattle family, Nash could. He could potentially destroy the Tattle family with just a word.

Skadi muttered, "It's not my fault. The speed of one’s cultivation depends on martial talent, and I don't have much of that. Not only that, but I also don't have access to cultivation resources. The fact that I was able to reach this level is already an achievement.”

She was already at stage seven of the Energy Cultivation Realm. She broke through two entire levels in just two months.

Suddenly, a sly gleam flashed through Skadi's eyes. "Hera, why don't you get Nash to help me with some good cultivation techniques?"

Hera rolled her eyes. "Father Cillian is the head of Quiet Winds Church. They should have pretty abundant resources as well.”

Skadi could not help but scrunch up her nose at the mention of Cillian. "He practices Path techniques. I don't want to become a nun!"

Hera sighed and held Skadi's hand. "I'll talk to Nash when he comes back."

Skadi hugged Herai happily. "Hehe, I knew you were the best!"

Just then, Hera heard Yellow Crane’s voice in her mind. "I’ve got bad news, there's trouble at Royal Bay!"
