My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 457

Nash took the roses and headed out.

Olivia quickly responded, realizing that if she did not handle the situation properly and Nash stepped in, her cousin would likely be in real trouble.

One of the officers next to Angelica asked, “Chief White, what should we do?”

“Just let them handle it privately!”

Angelica replied nonchalantly, leading her team away with the rest of the officers following behind.

Olivia smiled and said to Luna, “Take me to your home, Young Miss.”

Luna pressed her red lips together and responded, “Ms. Olivia, there’s no need. I’ll definitely pay back the 30,000 I owe Mr. Lee too!”

Olivia smiled and said, “You don’t need to pay back that money. Also, I’ll give you an additional 200,000 as an apology on behalf of my cousin.”

200,000?!

Luna’s heart was beating wildly. She then started shaking her head vigorously, “No, no, no... I can’t accept that... Not asking me to repay the 30,000 is already a huge favor!”

Being in her first year of university, and coming from a poor family, even 30,000 seemed astronomical to her, let alone 200,000 dollars.

“Oli, it was her father who tried to sell her. Why should I pay? Isn’t this a matter of mutual consent?”

Slap!

Olivia slapped Claude again and said to her bodyguards, “Take him home and enforce our family’s punishment!”

“What?

“The fam…family punishment?”

The Lees’ family punishment was set by their grandfather.

It was a hundred lashes with a thorned whip.

This punishment had never been executed on anyone before.

Olivia coldly ordered, “Take him away.”

If the brat did not learn his lesson now, he would cause big trouble for the Lees in the future.

Even her doting father would not be able to intervene this time.

As the bodyguards started to take Claude away, one of them said,

When Olivia was seventeen or eighteen, she had thousands to spend every month.

Yet here was Luna, at the same age, struggling with hunger and living under a bridge.

“Ms. Olivia... please don’t enforce the family punishment on Mr. Claude... He goes to the same university as me and once helped me fend off some bullies!” Luna spoke timidly.

Olivia raised an eyebrow, “Really?”

Luna nodded, “Yeah. On my first day at university, some seniors tried to harass me. Mr. Claude thought they were an eyesore and stepped in, beating them up.”

A small smile formed on Olivia’s lips.

As she was often busy with business matters, she seldom paid attention to her cousin

Every time she encountered him, it was usually to clean up his messes.

She had always perceived Claude as a tyrant but never realized he had a kind side.

Perhaps Claude was trying to help Luna in his own way?

“Take your valuables and come stay with me at the hotel!”
