My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2709

Mather hurriedly hid behind Tybalt. "It's over, it's over! Could it be that the Wakefield family's people have already found us?"

Tybalt concentrated his true energy in his hands. If it was the worst-case scenario, all the effort he and Hazel had put in over the years would be for nothing!

At that moment, the figure approached them. Tybalt furrowed his brows. "It's you."

He recognized the person in front of him as the ascetic who had obstructed him during the parade.

Reese took out a note from his hand. "Don't misunderstand. Miss Wakefield sent me here."

Upon hearing that, Tybalt felt somewhat relieved. "Hazel sent you? Who exactly are you?"

Reese held up a string of prayer beads. "I'm just a passing ascetic, Reese Kinley. Do you need assistance?"

"Why should I trust you?" Tybalt asked. If it were not for his interference, he might have been able to save Hazel's sister.

"A reason?" Reese stepped closer to Tybalt. "The reason is simple—I haven't killed you yet. That's the reason."

Tybalt knew what this guy was implying. He was well aware that he was definitely not Reese's match from their previous encounter, yet Reese had held back.

Tybalt snatched the note from Reese's hand. The handwriting was indeed Hazel's.

"You've met her before?" Tybalt asked.

Reese nodded. "We chatted a bit at the hospital. She's taking care of her sister, Peony, who is still in danger. I don’t know the details, but I heard Peony cut her wrist with a pair of scissors she brought into the carriage.

"But don’t worry, that means the two ladies won’t be caught up in this disaster," he added.

Tybalt inquired, "What do you plan to do?"

"We’ll act tomorrow," Reese stated firmly.

“I see.”

“You seem a bit off. What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. I'm just feeling a little regretful that I won’t be able to see the outcome.”

“What do you mean?”

“When my sister gets married, that family from Capiton will sign an agreement with our father. My sister will stay here while I’ll go to Capiton to become a part of their business expansion.”

“What? Does he know about this?”

“You mean Tybalt? He doesn’t, and I don't plan to tell him. Can you keep this a secret? I’ll escape en route to Capiton. If I really can’t get away...”
