My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 249

However, both the Nutcracker and Grim-Faced Juggernaut had failed.

It was not that difficult to figure out that they would have probably done something to escalate the situation.

Last night, they brought their men along to the Zabel estate to kill the entire Zabel family.

However, the Zabel family had been unharmed while three of the Green Bamboo Juggernauts had died alongside Howard Lane.

It was highly likely Nash was behind this.

There were no ill feelings between himself and Nash, but Kai and Nash were not on good terms.

Kai and Simon had also been growing close recently. If Kai were involved in last night’s happenings, the Watson family would face imminent disaster.

Walter voiced his worries and then turned to Kai once more before saying sincerely, “Kai, I’ve always felt guilty because of your parents’ early passing and everything that happened back then, which is why I chose to turn a blind eye to all the ridiculous things you do and help you get out of trouble… But you have to listen to me this time…”

The faces of the Watson family members turned pale after hearing what Walter said.

“Kai… why don’t you just tell them what happened…”

Queenie pursed her luscious lips and gave Kai a worried glance.

Both she and Simon had been at Royal Bay last night. However, she had spent her time in the guest room and had no idea what he and Kai had discussed.

Thinking back, there was no doubt they had been plotting against the Zabel family.

Kevin chimed in, “Listen to your grandfather, Kai. Even if you were involved in what happened last night, he’ll have a way to help you out of things!”

He and his wife spent most of the year overseas and had no idea who Nash Calcraft was. However, based on the way Walter was acting, he could tell Nash was not a force they should reckon with.

Members of the Watson family turned to look at Kai.

Those with shorter fuses even had angry expressions on their faces. However, Walter’s protectiveness toward Kai stopped them from being able to do anything.

The pressure from his entire family was too much for Kai, who lowered his head and said, “Duncan and I gave Simon four billion dollars, which would later be paid forward to the six juggernauts!”

“Bastard…”

Kai was young and reckless, which meant he often messed up. It was why he had arranged for two of his bodyguards to guard Kai instead.

Janson and George were in their forties and had worked as the warden’s bodyguards before. Yet, they had not stopped Kai from trying to stab Nash in the back despite knowing Nash was a golden amulet master.

Janson gulped and looked down, afraid to say anything else.

Kai’s father had extended a helping hand to him and George in the past. After his death, they began working as bodyguards at the Watson household because they wanted to repay him for his kindness.

They knew just how powerful Nash was. If Kai had hired someone to kill him, they may have tried to stop him, but they had chosen to remain silent because Kai was not related to the Green Bamboo Association’s juggernauts in any way.

“I would rather die than apologize to Nash Calcraft.”

Kai cradled his swollen face as he spoke determinedly.

Having lived life at the top of the heap since birth, he would not easily admit defeat, let alone apologize to Nash when he had humiliated him countless times.

“Preposterous…”
