My Substitute CEO Bride

Harrison had a hot towel on his face, while Lauren was looking for some medicine to help with his bruises in the first aid kit.

“As if it wasn’t your fault! We couldn’t get in touch with you last night. We thought your uncle was up to no good again, so your father went to question him and they got into a fight when they started butting heads!” Lauren said angrily.

Nash had already told Hera the explanation he gave her parents while they were on their way to the company.

Hera walked toward the desk and apologized guiltily, “Dad, I’m sorry I made you worry.”

Besides feeling sorry that her father had gotten beaten, there was also warmth in her chest.

She knew she would always be her parents’ treasure.

“By the way, Hera, we’ve decided to postpone your birthday celebration for a few days,” Lauren said helplessly as she grabbed a bottle of ointment and applied it to the bruises on Harrison’s face.

Hera was stunned. “Why? I’ve already notified several of my classmates and teachers.”.

Harrison sighed and said, “Your uncle wants to bring Helena’s birthday celebration forward to the same day. It’s obvious they’re trying to bully you. So, if we can’t afford to offend them, why don’t we just avoid them?”

“Why should we avoid them? If she celebrates her birthday and I celebrate mine, then we won’t be getting in anyone’s way, no?” she said angrily.

Lauren stuffed the bottle into Harrison’s hand. “Do it yourself.”

She then turned to look at her daughter before answering her, “Your uncle’s family has better connections in the family than we do. When those relatives all attend Helena’s birthday rather than yours, will you be happy then? Will you still be able to celebrate your birthday?”

Lauren did not want her daughter to experience a bad birthday and so chose to postpone it.

Hera pursed her red lips, conceding sadly, “Alright then.”

“I don’t think you should postpone Hera’s birthday,” said Nash all of a sudden at this moment.

Both Lauren and Harrison looked at Nash.

Hera forced herself to smile before saying, “It’s okay. It’s just postponing it. It doesn’t matter if we celebrate it a few days

later.”

“They brought Helena’s birthday celebration forward to bully you. If you postpone it, they’ll gain an inch,” Nash pressed.

It was not like Lauren did not understand this. “But if Hera and Helena were to celebrate their birthdays on the same day, Hera’s birthday party will definitely be dismal!” she said helplessly.

Harrison echoed, “Not only that, Kai is going to celebrate Helena’s birthday at the Chateau Hotel. The old man will definitely C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

go there.”

Hera’s eyes widened. “The Chateau Hotel?”

That was the property of the Skye family in Capiton and the most luxurious hotel in Jonford.

Even the most common membership card was not available to the Lewis family.

Nash smiled slightly. “Hera, do you also want to hold your birthday party at the Chateau Hotel?”

Hera felt herself shiver when she heard that. She then shook her head and answered, “I don’t…”

It was no use even thinking about it!

The Watsons were the wealthiest family in Jonford, and they had at least one Black Diamond VIP card in their hands.

Even if she was able to spend 140 million just for a membership card, she would be inviting shame onto herself.

What was more, it was impossible for her to fork up that amount of money.

She would only be able to get 56 million dollars after completing that project with Drake Group, and that project would take up at least a whole year.

“Nash, can you book a room at the Chateau Hotel?” Lauren asked cautiously.

She already had her suspicions about Nash’s identity. Could Nash’s question just now be implying that he had a way to enter the hotel?

Nash nodded. “I have a friend who works at the Chateau Hotel. It won’t be a problem for me to ask him for a private room!”

Hera hurriedly said, “It’s okay! Let’s not bother other people. So what if we can get a room? The Watsons will definitely get a room that’s bigger than ours. We’d just be humiliating ourselves if we go!”

Lauren nodded. “That’s true…”

Hera continued, “So, it’s decided. My birthday will be postponed to the eighth of the following month.”

Seeing how resolute her daughter was about this, Lauren said nothing. She just lowered her head and sighed.

Meanwhile, in the Hill family’s villa…
