My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 

It had been a long while since a steady blip had appeared on the heart rate monitor. 

Outside the estate. 

Cillian stared at the expanse of sky stretching toward the West. 

The General Star had, at the end of the day, fallen. 

Rumble rumble! 

A loud clap of thunder rumbled, seemingly to send off the highly decorated god of war. 

Multiple large, dark clouds also appeared in the sky. 

The day turned to night in an instant! 

Gusts of winds blew from all directions while sheets of rain poured down. It was as if the sky was in mourning as well. 

Cillian sighed. “Heaven’s will cannot be disobeyed!” 

Jade, Henderson, and the heads of all Five Elite Families shuddered. 

Zakariah’s hands, which were at the small of his back, slowly slid downward. 

A look of bewilderment also appeared on Skadi’s charming face. 

She found it hard to believe that the warden of the Northern Territory, who had been making merry conversations at the Lee family’s home yesterday, was now deceased. 

The warden had protected his family and country spectacularly. 

He had bid farewell to the world of the living! 

Tears welled in Skadi’s eyes, and she started sniffling. 

Nash retrieved a mat from the bedroom and spread it on the ground. 

Then, he placed Philix’s body on the straw mat. 

The head of the Lane family, Howard Lane, stormed over when he saw what was going on. “B*stard! You killed the honorable warden, and now you’re placing his corpse on the ground? Do you know what you’re doing?!” 

As one of the senior presidents of the ninth division of the Green Bamboo Association and one of the five business magnates, Howard had an intense majestic aura about him. 

Last night, his beloved crow had received a blow to its head. 

Just moments ago, he had received a picture that one of his men from the Green Bamboo Association had snapped. 

The culprit that had struck his crow’s head was Nash, who was standing right before him. 

He had been cleared, so naturally, he would not be talking about the crow. He had to find some other excuse. 

Nash walked over to Brian and picked up the offering bowl placed there, “Who said the warden is dead?” 

Howard sneered, “Could Father Cillian be lying?” 

Given his status, he naturally knew how capable Father Cillian was. 

Father Cillian had stated Heaven’s will could not be disobeyed. Did that not mean the warden had passed away? 

Nash ignored Howard and continued fiddling with the bowl. 

Howard’s fury turned even greater when he saw how this youngster, who was even younger than his grandchildren, was ignoring him. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Aren’t you going to explain anything to us?” 

Nash looked at Howard as if he were an idiot. “You’re barking your head off like a rabid dog. What could I possibly have to say to you?” 

A look of terror appeared on Skadi’s face when she heard the way Nash was speaking to Howard. 

The head of the Lane family was a force to be reckoned with. Not only was he the senior president of Green Bamboo’s ninth division, but he was also the head of one of the Five Elite Families. 

Not even Walter, the richest man in the country, dared mess with Howard. 

Walter might be able to wield his power over Howard in the business sphere, but Howard had the support of the Green Bamboo Association.
