My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 564

Being best friends and given their past experiences, Skadi did not want to be too direct in her words. Still, she felt the need to give Hera some gentle reminders.

"With everything going on recently, let's talk about this after things settle down," Skadi suggested.

Hera nodded, keeping her head low. She only felt comfortable discussing these matters with Skadi.

Glancing at the time, Skadi said, "I have to go back to the school. Remember to try the duck I brought. The flavor is absolutely incredible!"

Hera escorted Skadi to the door and then left in her car. Skadi slowed down after covering some distance, her eyes watching both sides of the road vigilantly. She was thankful that the elderly man was not around.

In the basement, Nash was done preparing the medicine and was now cleaning up the residuals beside the cauldron while Melody reported her findings to him.

"The higher-ups at Splendor have no connections with the Duerson family! They also don’t take domestic orders, so Baroque poses no threat to them.

"It'd be baseless to claim that Splendor was behind the Baroque fire without any evidence," Melody reported.

If it was orchestrated by Duncan, he would have been meticulous with his planning. What was more, he had managed to get a Mystique Loyalty Realm powerhouse to work for him. His visit yesterday was a direct challenge to him.

"Did you personally investigate Splendor?" Nash asked.

Melody replied confidently, believing that she handled the situation perfectly.

She figured Nash would praise her this time, but he just stared at her for a long time without saying a word. Melody started feeling a bit unsure. "Did I do something wrong?"

"And what about Kai?"

"I'm in the process of preparing a pill for him."

“I won’t disturb you, then.” With that, Melody turned around to leave.

“Close the door!” Nash called out.

There was a bang as Melody shut the heavy, titanium alloy door.

Nash then picked up his phone and called Walter.

“Dr. Calcraft?”
