My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 94

Herman sighed. He then went up to the second floor of the villa with heavy steps.

Rooney looked at Lauren with an unkind expression and scoffed. "Just you wait, Lauren. I’ll discredit your family completely in the next two days.”

After saying that, she led her daughter back to their rooms to rest.

The corner of Harrison's mouth curled up into a smile, but it was quickly replaced with a grimace because of the injury on his face.

Maria grabbed a broom and started to clean the mess. With a soft smile, she said, "You guys have important matters to attend to tomorrow, so go back to your rooms and rest!"

Lauren walked toward her room expressionlessly while Harrison limped behind her with a hand supporting his waist.

Back in their room, Lauren sat down in front of the dressing table and sulked.

"Don't be mad. I think we held our heads up high today,” Harrison consoled her softly.

He had never dared to offend his elder brother before this, but he actually got into a fight with him today.

He had never felt so free.

Lauren frowned as she replied, "Didn’t you hear what Rooney said just now? She’s going to discredit us!”

He straightened his back and responded, "Different situations call for different actions. I’m no longer afraid of them now.”

She sighed. "It's Hera's birthday soon. I think they’re definitely going to cause trouble on that day for sure.”

He then put a hand on his heart while facing Nash. "Mr. Calcraft, you can just leave her be.”

Skadi was stunned. "Grandpa, is there a problem with him sending me off?"

Zakariah's expression darkened. “Of course there—”

"Of course, it’s no problem at all,” Nash cut Zakariah off, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Skadi is Hera's friend, so she’s also my good friend. Isn’t it normal for me to send her off? Besides, I’m not some big shot.”

Zakariah understood what Nash was trying to say and smiled slightly. "I just mean it’s already so late, and it’s such trouble to Mr. Calcraft!”
