My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 855

"My doubts were unfounded, I shouldn't have suspected you." Duncan kissed Mireille's delicate face gently. His suspicions the previous night arose because of her untimely appearance. After investigating Tanner Group Pharmacy yesterday through his probes and subordinates, he confirmed that Mireille had indeed passed by the estate unintentionally. Moreover, they had consummated their relationship. She was now his woman, and continuing to doubt her would only hurt her.

"Mireille, do you... do you love me?" Duncan suddenly asked, stuttering.

Mireille shook her head and replied, "No."

Duncan smiled bitterly, his eyes losing their luster. Perhaps... she had acted impulsively under the influence of alcohol?

"Fool, feelings need time to develop!" Mireille chuckled, trying her best to show that she was gradually accepting Duncan.

"Then, let's take our time to develop them.” Duncan raised his arm, pulling the woman into his embrace.

...

On the rooftop, Peter, The Swordsman, and Borris gazed toward Royal Bay.

There was a vibrant and colorful cloud formation in the direction they were looking at. Peter narrowed his eyes and said, "A celestial phenomenon has occurred. Looks like Nash has successfully refined the Golden Onyx Pill!"

"So what? Can he break through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm in just one day after refining and assimilating the effects of the pill? Even if he does, it will be a piece of cake for me to kill him!" The Swordsman proclaimed with his hand behind his back, confident and spirited.

"Nash is so young yet he managed to refine a fifth-grade elixir. His talent in alchemy is truly terrifying. If it weren't for Duncan insisting on killing him, I would have liked to befriend him." Boris sighed.

While the martial arts world in Drakonia was flourishing, true alchemy masters were rare, and those who could refine fifth-grade elixirs were even rarer. Nash was a young man in his twenties. For him to be able to produce such an elixir marked him as truly exceptional. If left to grow, he was bound to overturn the entire martial arts world.

After that, he grabbed a set of clothes from the wardrobe, put them on, tidied his hair, and then left the room, carefully closing the door behind him.

Mireille opened her eyes, a chill in her gaze. Dragging her tired body out of the bed, she went into the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash everything away with cold water.

In the living room, Duncan was in a meeting with his three godfathers, legs crossed and a half-smoked cigarette in his hand.

"I'll have to trouble you all to accompany me to visit the Zells, Lees, and Watsons the next two hours. As long as we get fifty percent of the families’s equities, the Jonford business world will be under our control!"

Today, the Duerson family would rise.

Half an hour later, Duncan, accompanied by his three godfathers and a group of elite bodyguards, headed toward the Watson residence.
