My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 175

“Hold on…”

Just as they were about to escort Angelica out, Nash suddenly spoke up.

The two male patrollers paused slightly, then looked toward Henderson.

Henderson was also confused, but he did not dare to defy Nash and gestured for the two to let go.

Nash looked at the sealed bag in Angelica’s hand and asked, “Did you find it at the Lewis family's estate?”

Angelica gratefully glanced at Nash and then nodded while saying, “Yes... This is a highly explosive black-tech detonator. Although small in size, it’s extremely powerful, and it also contains highly toxic substances!”

Henderson’s face turned pale almost instantly, and he stammered anxiously, “W-Why did you bring this here? Get it out of here…”

Bringing such a dangerous object into the conference room was disastrous. If it exploded, they would all be killed on the spot.

He had already made up his mind to fire Angelica after the meeting.

Angelica quickly explained, “This detonator is damaged. It won’t explode…”

She would naturally not dare to carry around a threatening detonator.

Only after confirmation from her colleagues in the bomb disposal team did she dare to bring the detonator to the chief and the governor.

Henderson yelled again, “Well isn’t it poisonous? Get it out... Get it out!”

He felt his authority was greatly undermined.

Angelica swallowed. “The poison in the explosive only works when it’s heated to produce gas!”

Henderson was furious and slammed the table. “Can’t you understand what I'm saying? I told you to get out... Right now... Get out!”

At this point, Nash continued, “Do you know this type of detonator well?”

His gentle voice contrasted sharply with Henderson’s angry outburst.

Nonetheless, this soft voice somehow overpowered Henderson’s.

Seeing Nash’s intention to let Angelica stay, Henderson had no choice but to say to Jade, “Governor, for your safety, we should leave first!”

Jade lightly said, “I trust her. If she says the detonator won’t explode, then we’re definitely safe. Maybe the detonator in her hand is the key to your case!”

However, she later found out that the man had forgotten his original goals.

.

He would do anything for profit and often appeared in extremely dangerous war zones.

She tried to persuade him to leave Sky Blade, but he had his own ideas.

In the end, they chose to break up.

“So, I suspect that Sky Blade is behind this! Even if it’s not Sky Blade, it must have a great deal to do with the group!”

Angelica stated firmly.

She did not care whatever Sky Blade did out there.

However, now that it had severely threatened the order of Jonford, she felt compelled to seek justice for the dead.

Nash asked, “Can you contact your ex-boyfriend?”
