My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2124

In the middle of the great hall of the Florentine residence, Nigel was sprawled on the ground, unmoving.

Zaden returned to his chair before he called out to Nigel, “Young man, lift your head.”

Nigel was extremely good-looking. His handsome features were exactly what had charmed Rainie in the first place, and his bright eyes and untamable hair made him look like an innocent prince.

Even now, when his face was covered in dirt and his body was emancipated, he still managed to be easy on the eyes.

Nigel’s body shuddered as he carefully lifted his head. Rainie, who was kneeling beside him, felt her heart breaking for him.

When she saw how skinny and covered in bruises he was, she hurried forth to help him to his feet.

However, Nigel acted like he had seen the Grim Reaper himself and used all his strength to shove Rainie away from him.

Rainie stood frozen on the spot, her hands hanging mid-air while a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes. Her trembling lips were just about to begin forming words when Nigel sobbed and crawled over to where Zaden sat.

“Sir! Sir, I know what I’ve done wrong now. I'm a mere lowly individual, and I'll never step out of line ever again. Please, please show me some mercy.”

Zaden and the others were disgusted by the snot and tears flowing down Nigel’s face. Zaden merely waved a hand.

The next moment, a seven-foot-tall man sporting a buzz cut, who looked both strong and extremely fierce, kicked Nigel.

That kick sent Nigel flying between five to six feet away. Sounds of his bones crumbling and his moans of pain rang through the hall.

Rainie was just about to run over to Nigel and help him when the seven-foot-tall man appeared before her once again. The man shook his leather jacket, and the lights in the hall reflected against the spikes attached to his jacket to form illusions before Rainie’s eyes.

She felt her vision going blurry. She knew they were tears. However, they were not tears of fear. Instead, she was shedding tears for Nigel.

“What’s the matter? So scared that you’ve started crying?” the burly man asked mockingly.

Rainie knelt on the ground, tears brimming in her eyes as she begged, “Gale, please let him go.”

Gale kicked Rainie to the side. As he brushed the dust from his pant leg, he gave Rainie a long look of disgust.

“That’s enough. You’re a disappointment to the family. Frankly, you no longer have any worth as a product, and I find it disgusting to even talk to you.”

Rainie’s heart shattered into pieces upon hearing that. She collapsed to the ground and gasped for air as if she would stop breathing the very next minute.

Then, Gale walked over to Nigel, who had stopped making any sound but was still writhing in pain.

Gale reached a hand out to grab Nigel’s head and dragged him back over to where Zaden and the others were.

“Deputy president, should we get rid of him now?”

Zaden did not say much else and merely sipped on his tea quietly. It seemed there was not much more that needed to be said.

Just then, Gale’s father, Levy Florentine, spoke up, “One minute.”
