My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 779

Winnie narrowed her eyes as she spoke dazedly, “I made a bet with my classmates that I could become Atlas’ girlfriend, so I applied when Atlas put out a notice saying he was hiring.”

The corner of Atlas’ lips jerked upward.

She was here because she had feelings for him?

He would probably develop an aneurysm if he ever had a girlfriend like her.

Nash sneered, “In that case, why did you seduce Eric?”

Winnie had displayed her undergarments to Eric when she bent down to brew tea that morning.

Although she was also wearing tights and safety shorts beneath her skirt, the sight of it was enough to induce indecent thoughts as well. Besides, this was Eric they were talking about. He had not had relations with any woman for over 30 years.

Winnie murmured, “Because he’s more charismatic than Atlas is…”

The look on Atlas’ face turned even uglier.

He was a young, rich man with status and power. Yet, he was deemed less charismatic than a middle-aged man.

Nash let out a breath and retrieved the true energy he had used to hypnotize Winnie.

Winnie slumped onto the couch.

Atlas said half-jokingly, “Is she dead? Should we stab her a couple more times to be sure?”

Nash must have used some secret technique similar to his master’s truth talisman to get Winnie to speak the truth.

“She’s just been temporarily knocked out.”

“Oh, right… How many Ghoul Evils did you find?”

Nash let out a self-deprecating smile after asking that question. “Never mind, it doesn’t matter how many you found. The humans will all die after the ghouls regain consciousness!”

Atlas said woodenly, “My master found 12 people using the Penta Spectre Curse… Does this mean all 12 of them are dead now?”

Nash nodded. “Since you didn’t go to the cemetery with Eric, you must have gone searching for them instead, right? Are they still alive?”

Atlas shook his head and said gloomily, “They’re all dead!”

Nash sighed and got to his feet so that he could make his way to the exit. “I’ll drop by again tomorrow!”

Duncan cowered behind his two godfathers, a confused look on his face as he asked, “Why does he look kind of familiar?”

“His name is Herman Lewis. Do you know him?”

Peter had half a smile on his face.

The first thing he did upon arriving at Jonford was search for a place where he could breed a ghoul overlord.

The shadow corpses he cultivated later on were to be fed to the ghoul overlord.

“Herman Lewis?”

A smile appeared on Duncan’s face. “Yes, of course, I know him. I know him very well. He's Nash’s wife’s grandfather!”

Peter laughed upon hearing that. “What a coincidence. I searched the entire cemetery, and only his corpse was fully intact!”

Duncan laughed pointedly. “What a shame his face is so badly decomposed. If we could restore his face to how it used to look, I don’t think Nash would even dare attack!”

Peter stroked his goatee and grinned. “That’s easy. His looks will be restored if we feed him several shadow corpses. New skin will grow on top of what has decomposed, and he’ll look exactly the way he did before he died!”
