My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1512

Henderson almost jumped. When he heard Gaspard say that he and his son were trapped in Aureus District, he failed to mention who was holding them back. Not long ago, Frances from the Sinopharm Office had nearly set him up, and now, Gaspard almost did the same.

“Damn it. I need to find out who I’m dealing with before responding to any calls in the future. Otherwise, I'd just be seeking death,” Henderson muttered to himself.

He pulled out a cigarette and handed one to Xeno, asking, “What’s going on with the Hills? Surely, nobody in Jonford has the balls to provoke Hera these days, right?”

Xeno took out a lighter and lit Henderson's cigarette. Henderson took a deep drag before asking, “Mr. Calcraft himself came?”

Blowing out a cloud of smoke, Xeno replied, “It must be no small matter. Mr. Calcraft usually stays in the background to foster Ms. Lewis' capabilities. He doesn’t show up easily!”

Leaning on the hood of a luxury car, Henderson lamented, “What a pity. Geoffrey was just awarded as a distinguished philanthropist. The Hill family also spent a fortune trying to establish themselves in Jonford.”

“A philanthropist? That title doesn't necessarily mean he's a good person. I had a few drinks with Geoffrey today, and from what I can tell, there’s more than meets the eye with him,” Xeno noted.

As the two bosses sat on the hood, smoking and chatting, Henderson decided to simply turn off his phone. He was concerned that Gaspard might call again.

Meanwhile, Gaspard was indeed trying to reach him. Hearing the tone on the line indicating that Henderson had switched off his phone, a chill ran down his spine.

“Gaspard, I want you to transfer 70% of your family’s assets to Peter!" Hera demanded.

"What?" Gaspard's head shook uncontrollably. "70%? That's impossible... Absolutely impossible!"

"Then make it 100%,” Hera replied indifferently. After saying this, she turned to Finn. "Take him to Henderson. Have Adam sue him on behalf of the Hansels. I want him dead.”

"Ms. Lewis, I've realized my mistake. Please spare me. I'm willing to give all my assets to the child," Geoffrey pleaded desperately, begging for mercy.

Finn kicked him in the back, grinding his teeth as he said, "You could die a thousand times and it wouldn’t be enough to appease public rage. You still think you can survive this?"

Geoffrey then turned to Peter, pleading, "Son... Son, I'm your father. Please plead for me. I’ll buy you luxury cars and mansions!"

Peter buried his face in his great-grandfather’s chest, shouting, "I don’t have a father... I don’t want to see you anymore..." At seven years old, the hardships of life had forced him to mature much faster than his peers. He already knew that this man was the murderer of his family.

Finn grabbed Geoffrey by the hair and dragged him outside. Soon after, a flurry of noises and Geoffrey’s screams echoed from outside.

“I'll go check on them to make sure he doesn’t kill anyone,” Jasmine said deeply.
