My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 770

Jack's words carried profound meaning. While he expressed support for investigating corrupt management within the company and even suggested key departments, he also hinted at not going too far.

Was he worried about being implicated if Nash uncovered something about him and was thus preemptively taking precautions?

Jack laughed heartily before replying, "I'm just reminding you. You're cutting off someone's illicit gains, after all. If they're desperate individuals, I'm afraid they might come after you!"

His words seemed sincere as if he was genuinely expressing concern for Nash's safety.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lindon. I'll be careful," Nash said with a smile. He then glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late, and I have another meeting shortly. I won't disturb your work, Mr. Lindon."

Jack stood up and said, "I'll repeat what I said earlier, Mr. Calcraft. Think twice before you act!"

Nash stared directly into Jack's eyes as if trying to read his thoughts. Jack remained a picture of calm. He was wearing a hint of a smile, making it hard to discern anything from his expression.

"Goodbye," Nash finally said with a toothy smile.

The secretary then escorted Nash to the elevator before returning to the office.

Back at his desk, Jack sat down, one hand supporting his head as he swiveled his chair. He was deep in thought.

The secretary returned and said seriously, "This Nash person looks a bit arrogant. It didn’t look like he took you seriously at all.”

Jack’s eyes narrowed. "What kind of person do you think he is?"

The secretary understood where the man was getting at and replied earnestly, "It'll probably be difficult to win him over."

"Have you looked into his background?" he asked.

The secretary replied, "It looks like he's the son-in-law of a third-rate family in Jonford. He also seems to have a good relationship with Melody Stone."

Jack tapped the armrest thoughtfully and said, "Melody doesn't have the power to appoint Nash as the director of the Inspection Department."

The secretary's eyes narrowed. "What about Fabian?"

Jack's words made sense. Not everyone was indifferent to money, especially the hardworking workers striving for a living. Given enough temptation, how many would not be tempted?

Lynn had wanted to say something but did not dare to go against the director's decision. She nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll handle things according to your instructions."

Although the director had just started working today, he acted more decisively than Juan ever did. Lynn believed that under his leadership, the Inspection Department would grow and Universal Group would undergo a thorough reorganization under the Inspection Department’s supervision.

At five o'clock, the end of the workday, Nash approached the fingerprint machine to clock out.

"Clock-in unsuccessful!" The machine emitted a failure alert.

Nash tried again, but it failed once more.

Standing behind him, Lynn chuckled and said, "It must be broken. Let me try..."

She pressed her thumb against the machine to clock out.
