My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2136

Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.

The music abruptly stopped. The soprano singer emitted a piercing dolphin sound before collapsing in terror. The violin strings snapped mysteriously, adding to the chaos.

Everyone's eyes were on Theo—or rather, the puppet that looked like Theo.

Rylan's ability allowed him to control the puppet through the true energy he released. Knowing that someone intended to harm Nash and his friends, the Florentine brothers decided to help.

They worked overnight to create a lifelike puppet of Theo. It was nearly indistinguishable from the real person.

However, Rylan had cautioned against high-frequency sound waves as they could interfere with the puppet's control.

Unfortunately, the opening act was an operatic performance and symphony, precisely the kind of sound that could cause problems.

The unexpected happened. The Theo puppet collapsed, its head detaching from its body.

The sight caused panic among the guests. Then, after a brief silence, they erupted in screams.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Assassin!"

"Help Mr. Skye! Call an ambulance!"

Nash continued, "Moreover, the mole is among you!"

After hearing Nash's words, the shareholders looked at Nash with disdain.

Ioan laughed and said, "You must be joking. We have significant investments and ties to this company. A mole, you say? The company's downfall would be disastrous for us. Isn't it ridiculous to suspect us?"

Many shareholders nodded in agreement. They had invested their entire fortunes in Theo's enterprises. If the company failed, they would lose everything, making them the least likely to be moles.

Nash remained calm. He sat in his chair as he continued, "Oh? Is that so? Then let me tell you something else. Yesterday, Mr. Skye was followed and attacked. What do you think about that?"

Ioan quickly retorted, "If you blame us for every problem the company's president encounters... Isn't that more absurd?"
