My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 465

Harrison and Lauren got into the car, and before they left, Lauren instructed, "Hera, don't be too upset. The important thing is that the upgrade parts are safe. I've already contacted the suppliers to reconstruct the control room.

"If everything goes smoothly, we can resume production within three days."

Harrison nodded in agreement as well. "We've been slugging it out for the past two weeks. These next few days will give us a chance to rest."

Hera gently nodded, replying, "I understand. Drive safely on your way."

After Harrison and Lauren left, Nash and Hera returned to the villa. There was breakfast prepared by Maria on the table, but Hera had no appetite.

Hera suddenly recalled that Nash had gone to the warehouse and five people were rescued from the fire. They were now in the hospital. "Nash, you're not injured, are you?"

Nash smiled. "No, I'm not injured. Such a small fire can't harm me."

He even opened his arms and spun around.

Hera hugged Nash. A hint of vulnerability in her voice, she muttered, "Thank goodness you were there. Otherwise, those parts would've been destroyed and our partnership with Drake Group would've washed down the drain."

Nash patted Hera's back gently. "Olivia and I have a good relationship with one another. The partnership would've been fine."

Hera continued, "No… Our photolithography machine is already quite old. If we don't upgrade it soon, the chips we produce will have significant drawbacks. That has been one of the reasons our company's performance has been lackluster.

"We spent over three months purchasing this batch of chips. It would've probably taken another three months if they'd been burned. We can wait, but I doubt Drake Group can.

"Even if they did give us more time out of their respect for you, Drake Group would suffer significant losses," Hera explained. She looked into Nash's deep eyes while embracing his neck.

"Either way, we managed to avert the danger this time," Nash said while holding Hera's waist. He looked at her gentle red lips and felt the urge to kiss her.

However, Hera let go of Nash at this moment and took out her phone. "I need to call and check on those injured employees."

"My cousin actually likes her. He’s rather outgoing but couldn't bring himself to confess to her, so he resorted to this scheme...” Olivia explained.

"What about her father?"

"I've talked to her father, and he has already turned himself in. I'll look for a housekeeper to take care of Luna's family. This way, it'll be like we're helping out a future addition to our family."

"Your cousin needs some discipline. This time, he met me. If he had provoked someone else with a shorter temper, he might not have gotten away with just a beating."

There was a hint of seriousness in Nash's tone. In countries where guns were not restricted, even minor conflicts could result in casualties. During his travels to such disorderly places, encounters with troublemakers usually ended in dismembered limbs.

While Somerland's society was more orderly, there were still some hot-tempered martial artists out and about.

When Olivia caught the sternness in Nash's tone, she shivered slightly and quickly added, "Nash, my father has already disciplined him. He won't dare to act recklessly anymore. It's all thanks to you. My father had always indulged him before."
