My Substitute CEO Bride

Suddenly, Nash noticed a black aura flashing across Ryan's forehead. However, it was quickly engulfed by a golden light. What?

Nash activated his Third Eye but did not detect any anomalies!

Was he hallucinating?

Ryan slowly got up, preparing to leave with Nash.

Reyrena nudged Gemma's arm. "Gemma, it does seem like he can actually help you!"

Then, she revealed the truth to Ryan.

Gemma did have feelings for Ryan. When she first met Ryan, he was working at a club. He often indulged in revelry with a group of friends and was living from paycheck to paycheck. That was why every month, Gemma had Ryan hand over his money to her for safekeeping.

Over the past three years, she had separately saved all the money Ryan gave her on a bank card. Her own daily expenses were also earned from her part-time job.

She was breaking up with Ryan because her grandfather had personally called her. He threatened her that if she did not fulfill her engagement with the man from the Fisher family after graduating from university, Ryan would disappear from this world forever. After listening to Gemma's story, Ryan was in tears.

Reyrena said with emphasis, "Don't blame Gemma for being ruthless. She did it to protect you!"

Gemma lowered her head, shedding tears.

When she spoke of breaking up earlier, her heart ached terribly, but she knew she could not cry. She could not let Ryan see through her.

"Gemma, I'm sorry! I'm so useless that I can't help you with anything! I... I'm not worthy of you!"

Knowing all this, Ryan felt even more inferior. He felt he did not deserve Gemma.

At that moment, Gemma looked up at Ryan and said coldly, "So you don't want to be with me anymore?"

Ryan bowed his head in silence.

Reyrena scornfully said, "Ryan, are you still a man? You have such a capable buddy here. He can help you!"

"How could I, a man with empty pockets, dare to approach such splendor? How could I, a man with only poverty to offer, dare to dream of being with a beautiful woman?" Ryan stood up from the couch and walked out in a daze. "Hey... Don't go!" Maverick wanted to stop Ryan. Such a trivial matter could be easily handled with just one phone call. Why did he have to make things so difficult?

"Let him go!"

Nash raised his wine glass and drank half of the contents. It was the Romanee-Conti that they ordered.

There were always ups and downs in life. Gaining more experiences would broaden one's horizons.

"Thanks for the coffee, Nash. And thank you Maverick, for your assistance. I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave! Gemma also stood up and walked

Seeing this, Reyrena stood up as well.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Maverick immediately sat in Gemma's previous seat and stopped Reyrena. "Don't meddle in other people's matters, especially in a couple's affairs!"

Reyrena could not look directly at Maverick and lowered her head weakly. "I'll just go home and sleep!"

Maverick's lips curled slightly. "You haven't given me your number yet!"

Reyrena's heart raced as she looked at Maverick in disbelief. "Do you truly want my number?"

Oh my goodness.

Maverick Fisher actually took the initiative to ask for her phone number!

If word of this got out, how jealous would her friends be?

Reyrena took out her phone, and she said in a high-pitched voice, "Key in your number!"

Maverick and Reyrena then exchanged their numbers. "Sit down and have a drink. I like your goofy personality from earlier!"

Reyrena remembered how silly she was earlier and felt her face flush. Her image was completely ruined.

She sat on the couch, her muscles all tense. What exactly did Maverick want? Did be want a one-night stand with her She instantly imagined a plot from a romance novel where the male protagonist was a domineering CEO.

"Nash, leave Ryan's matter to me. You don't need to worry about it!" Maverick refilled Nash's glass.

After a moment of contemplation, Nash said, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

"Judging from your words, it seems like you still don't treat me as a friend, huh? Penalty shot!" Maverick gave Nash a playful glare.

Nash chuckled and finished his drink in one go.

In fact, he was not sure what kind of life to give Ryan.

He had just assessed Ryan's

qualifications. He had no spiritual roots or martial talent, so the cultivation path was not quite

suitable for him. Should he just give Ryan a billion or tens of billions?

He was worried Ryan would think he was pitying him.

At that moment, Reyrena's phone rang. It was Gemma calling.

"Hello, Gemma?"

"Rena, Ryan got into a car accident..." Gemma's cries came through the phone.
