My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1438

It was barely 6:00 am at Stonywood Village, and the villagers had already gathered at Adam’s house.

The funeral team was busy conducting rituals and ceremonies in the courtyard to comfort the departed soul.

Outside, five luxury cars were parked, including a Rolls-Royce.

Hubert and Helena were offering flowers and burning candles for Maria.

Helena even knelt in front of the coffin.

"Maria, I heard that my wife caused some unpleasantness yesterday. Don't take it to heart. When I see her, I'll teach her a good lesson!"

Hubert's eyes were full of guilt. Yesterday, Harrison told him about Rooney's little commotion, and it made his blood boil.

"Let bygones be bygones. I just want to lay my mother to rest!" Adam, who had not slept all night, said in a hoarse voice.

Rooney’s decision was hers alone, and Hubert was not Rooney. Although they were still nominally husband and wife, Hubert had long since turned over a new leaf.

Adam had also noticed Helena's and Kai's changes. He would not let his hatred toward Rooney affect Hubert’s family.

"Mr. Zoel, help me draft a divorce agreement! I must divorce that crazy woman!" Hubert said decisively.

"I'm on leave now. Let's talk about official matters after my leave ends!" Adam sighed.

"Dad, you should talk to Mom again. If she remains obstinate, you can still get a divorce later!"

Kai was dressed in a white suit. He placed a flower in front of the coffin and then looked at his father-in-law. "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Haven't we made a lot of mistakes ourselves?"

Helena echoed with pursed lips, "Yes, Dad. After Maria's funeral, let's have a good talk with Mom!"

She was currently unmarried but pregnant, and this trip back home was intended for her to marry Kai.

If possible, she hoped both her parents could personally escort her into the next stage of her life.

After contemplating for a moment, Hubert agreed, "Alright..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Rooney's shouts could be heard from outside.

"Adam... you little bastard, come out!

"Hera and Nash, get the hell out!"

However, his cousin's style of doing things was a bit extreme. She had gone to the county government building last night and caused a scene.

Forced by circumstances, he had no choice but to accompany Rooney.

After all, his current position was all thanks to this cousin of his.

"You damn fool, turn off that damn thing..."

Hubert walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back, remaining expressionless.

His expression was dark, and his cold eyes were sharp.

Although he had retired from the business world, he had been a CEO for over ten years.

At this moment, his imposing aura spread out, exuding the pressure of someone in power.

When Rooney saw her former husband, her plump body trembled violently.

Yet soon, she roared angrily with a fierce expression, "Hubert, you useless dog! Harrison's family took away what should’ve been ours, and you actually colluded with them. I was blind to have chosen you in the first place!"
