My Substitute CEO Bride

In Drakonia, Hera yawned as she carried the baby and stepped outside. She turned her head and noticed that Nash's room door was open. She slowly walked in, only to find that Nash was not there.

Assuming he might have gone downstairs, she went to the hall and looked around but could not find him. At that moment, the baby started crying.

Hera quickly grabbed a warm bottle from the side and began feeding the baby. As she did, she noticed a note at the bottom of the bottle. Hera sighed. "He's gone off..."

She looked at the now content baby and smiled. Hera knew Nash had always taken great care of them, so even though he was away often, she felt reassured. With the baby, she felt a deeper sense of belonging.

Looking at the baby, Hera could not help but smile. The baby resembled him so much.

"The child's eyes and nose are just like his..."

Nash and Clint hiked up the mountain with their backpacks. Following the old priest's instructions, they eventually arrived at Apexel Mountain. The moment they entered the mountain, they felt their powers suppressed and knew immediately this was due to the barrier's influence. To protect the sect, the area was surrounded by various barriers of different sizes.

The two continued their ascent toward the summit.

It was now nighttime in Gorgeous Country. The group gathered at a farm. Thanks

to Puelo's abilities, they managed to escape from the company. A convincing decoy was set up back at the company, complete with a monitoring system to ensure their absence went unnoticed.

Everyone was seated in the farmhouse, sharing intelligence they had collected from the past few days. Meanwhile, Sterling was finally meeting the two remaining members of the Universal Top Seven.

The two women had been among the first to infiltrate the company, and one of them, a short-haired woman, had already risen to the position of secretary to the department head.noveldrama

Puelo took the lead in introductions.

"Let me introduce you. You might not have met these two before. This is Sterling, and next to him are Dahlia and Lillia. Dahlia is the short-haired woman with the cute hairpin, and Lillia is the one with a striking presence.”

Sterling studied the two women in front of him.

Dahlia had short hair and was wearing a cute hairpin. Her figure was petite, and

her large, expressive eyes gave her a very endearing appearance.

In stark contrast was Lillia. She exuded an aura that was both intimidating and alluring. With her fiery figure, captivating gaze, and a mix of a well-fitted uniform and a slightly plump physique, she had a mesmerizing and formidable presence.

"Hello," Sterling greeted them simply. The two women, having interacted with Sterling during their disguises, were already aware of each other's assumed identities to help ease communication.

The group then began sharing information. Of course, Helio continued to grumble incessantly, and soon after, he declared he was giving up.

"I'm never going back there! Absolutely not! If the mission fails, then it fails might as well go straight to the company's upper management. The result will be the same anyway. I don't want to play this make-believe game anymore. I'm really done. I don't care anymore!"

The rest of the group seemed to be used to Helio's complaints by now. Only

Sterling was comforting him.

After Helio's outburst, the focus shifted to Sterling.

"Terry, tell us about your situation."

Sterling then recounted his recent observations, including the fact that their conversation had been overheard.

"I called everyone here because I'm

worried that those guys might do something tonight. I couldn't detect any aura from the eavesdropper. Apart from the slim possibility of them being a cultivator above the

Divine Sojourn Realm, the most likely explanation is that they're

watchers."

"Watchers?" The group looked confused. Even Lillia and Dahlia, who had been in

the company the longest, were unaware of such entities.
