My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1862

Just as Alexander spoke, Timothy suddenly received a phone call from his eldest son, Marvin. Timothy stepped aside to take the call.

On the other end of the call, Marvin's voice was dejected as he said, "Dad, the officials have also canceled their attendance."

Timothy's eyelid twitched violently. "What about the Petro family?" he asked urgently.

The other families could cancel on them, but the Petro family had to come. They boasted a five-star general and two Profound Oriental Realm experts. The Klein family needed their support.

"The Petro family hasn't said anything," Marvin replied.

Timothy ended the call with a grim expression.

Having overheard the conversation, Alexander's eyes narrowed as he said, "The wise adapt to the times. I believe the Petro family will consider their stance carefully."

...

At the old Petro Residence, the family's four pillars were seated around a stone table in the courtyard, discussing the situation. Henrik, the eldest, sipped his tea serenely. His gaze occasionally swept across the faces of his three younger brothers.

"My suggestion is to watch from the sidelines," said Frederic.

Finnegan calmly responded, "The Klein family's residence isn't that far away from us. We interact with them frequently. If we offend Alexander, they might become difficult to deal with in the future."

Alberic spoke up and said, "I support Finnegan's idea. The Klein family has four Profound Oriental Realm experts. Building a good relationship with them would be extremely beneficial for our family."

Frederic narrowed his eyes and asked, "But what if Nash destroys the Petro family?"

"That's impossible!" Alberic retorted, looking at Frederic with derision. "Do you even know how powerful a Profound Oriental Realm expert is? Do you know how many of them you can find across the nation?

He looked at his eldest brother with deep, contemplative eyes. "If four Profound Oriental Realm experts work together, they'll have the destructive power equivalent to that of a nuclear weapon, no?"

Henrik put down his teacup and sighed helplessly. "Let Nalakov attend the banquet."

Finnegan's mouth twitched slightly. "Henrik, Nalakov is still young. Aren't you just pushing him into the fire?"

Henrik shot Finnegan a glance. "This will be a good opportunity to test him."

...

The Bono Hospital in Capiton was a private hospital owned by the Petro family. It was open only to the Petro family and other prestigious families. Not only was it equipped with the most advanced medical equipment in the world, but it also boasted top medical experts from over 20 countries.

In the VIP ward, Nalarov was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling while several beautiful nurses flitted about at his side.
