My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1417

"Cut it out. Don't you know there are only worn-out oxen, not worn-out fields?" Melody replied with a sly look before twisting away a bit.

"You little temptress..." Nash's gaze darkened slightly.

Sensing that she had stirred up a reaction, Melody quickly escaped from Nash's embrace and ran back to her room. "Go on with your business, I'm going to sleep. Be safe and come back soon!"

Nash glanced down, then sighed and lit a cigarette since smoking helped him calm down. He walked to the balcony and leaped off in a single bound.

The study of a 500-square-meter standalone villa at Saturn Villa, one of Jonford's top villa districts, once second only to Royal Bay but now second to Gladwell, was brightly lit.

Dressed in a robe, Casey sat by the window flipping through the Classic of the Path and Virtue. His expressions varied—sometimes, he was squinting or frowning, and sometimes, he inhaled with satisfaction.

When the bodyguards downstairs saw his serious image through the window, they could not help but show deep respect. It was no wonder he was CEO of Starlight Group. It was hard for him not to become wealthy with how he was studying at midnight. He had such a keen attitude to learn.

Having seemingly grown tired of his studies at around half past midnight, Casey put down the book and leaned back in his armchair, breathing heavily. Meanwhile, a woman dressed as a maid, complete with bunny ears, covered her mouth and ran out of the room.

The door opened, and another beautiful woman dressed as a nurse walked in. Her voice was coquettish as she said, "Sir, I'm a nurse. Let me give you a check-up!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the living room. Startled, the nurse hurried out to investigate.
