My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1619

Howell’s voice was rough over the phone. He was the king of the underworld scene in Bint City. He rose to power with the support of his brother-in-law.

Heather's son, who was also his nephew, had been beaten up. As an uncle, he could not just sit back and do nothing.

Howell was a martial artist who had practiced swordsmanship for 30 years, earning him the nickname 'Furious Blade of the Northwest.' He had even dug up the bloodthirsty sword he had buried 20 years ago today for his nephew.

"Just bring Sixten over so that he can let his anger out.”

"Alright, I'll send someone to pick him up," Howell replied in a deep voice.

...

"Pup, I don't think things will work out between you and your girlfriend," Nash said, looking quite conflicted. They were at the restaurant in the Empire Hotel.

Ryan had met his girlfriend online. In pursuit of true love, he left his hometown and came to Bint City. As he did not finish high school, he was unable to find a decent job. Through hard work, he managed to hold multiple jobs, earning 7,000 to 8,000 a month.

However, most of his salary went to his girlfriend. Yet, after three years of this long-distance relationship, he still had not held his girlfriend’s hand.

Was he not the epitome of a pure heart?

"Are you just bitter to see me live a good life?" Ryan, who was now slightly tipsy, gave Nash an unhappy glance.

He pulled out his phone, opened the photo album, and said with a dreamy expression, "Let me show you what she looks like. Once you see her face, you'll understand why I'm so committed!"

The photo was of a beautiful woman. She had big eyes, a high nose bridge, and delicate features. She exuded the youthful energy of a college student.

"How about it? Isn't she beautiful?" Ryan asked, grinning foolishly. Worried that Nash might fall for his girlfriend, he quickly kissed the screen and put his phone away.
