My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1514

The Hill family's downfall caused considerable upheaval in Jonford overnight. A second-tier family had vanished from the scene while a new one rose rapidly.

This demonstrated the formidable capabilities of Jonford’s Lady Demon. Hera struck fear into the hearts of second and third-tier families like never before.

The situation with the Hill family was significant but not overly so. Meanwhile, another piece of news quickly spread through the social circles of Jonford.

One person asked in a group chat:[Did you hear that two reclusive families from Antaria are about to hold a marriage? Have you received an invitation?]

Another replied: [No, I haven’t!]

Someone exclaimed in surprise: [Wow, you guys are second-tier elites, but you haven’t received an invite?]

Another added: [That's nothing. I just messaged Mr. Watson, and even he hasn’t received an invitation!]

Someone tagged him directly and asked: [@WalterWatson Mr. Watson, you didn't get an invite either?]

Walter responded truthfully: [Thanks for asking. Indeed, I didn’t. The Cricton and the Thoran family are both reclusive families, rumored to have ancestral ties to ancient sects. They're nearly on par with the legendary Young family. I paid a million just to get this information from someone involved with the invitations. He said only five invitations were sent to Jonford]

Another queried: [Who has those five invitations, then?]

Someone speculated: [Is that question necessary? Two of them are surely with Ms. Lewis and Mr. Calcraft, and the other two must be with the governor and the chief of the Inspection Office!]

[And the last one?]

[It’s probably with the Lee family, given that they have a retired major among them!]

At that moment, Walter replied: [That’s correct, the last invitation is indeed with the Lee family.]
