My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2139

Hence, Nash returned to Dominion Company.

Rylan and the woman were anxiously waiting. Seeing them safe brought a sense of relief.

"Where's your brother?" Nash asked.

"He went back to Drakonia for our older brother's funeral," Rylan replied. His voice was hoarse, indicating he had been crying.

"I see... My condolences."

Rylan shook his head. "It's alright. I don't even remember what he looked like. I've only been with Ronan for as long as I can remember."

"I understand," Nash said. He then turned to the woman. "Alright, you should head home now."

"I... I told you, I don't have a home..."

"It's too dangerous here. I don't want you to get caught up in this mess. The previous fire already made that clear."

"I—"

Rylan interrupted, "If she doesn't have a family, she can stay here."

"Hey, I told you—" Nash turned to Rylan.

"What else are we supposed to do? We can't just leave her on the street," Rylan said, unusually agitated.

Seeing Rylan's reaction, Nash relented. Since they were in the Florentine family's company, they probably would not be implicated because of him and Theo.

"Alright then." He nodded. "What's your name?"

Nash realized he had not asked the woman's name yet. To his surprise, she shook her head again.

"Umm..."

In Drakonia, Ronan was cleaning Gale's room. Rainie had been taken to the hospital by Clint because she had cried so much.

The Florentine family members were also scattered. The large yard was left with only Gale's body.

Ronan intended to leave after burying Gale, but the power he held had been restless since seeing Gale's body.

He pretended to leave but returned to search through Gale's belongings. Most of Gale's personal items were buried with him, but Ronan felt that Gale had left some secrets in the house.

After searching for a long time without success, a glimmer on the floor caught his attention.

It was a subtle light that would have been unnoticed in brighter conditions.

Ronan simply smashed the floor, which revealed a peculiar box beneath.
