Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1049 - 1045: All She Wants Is to Take Back What’s Hers

"Nicholas, where are you?" Hannah’s heart was filled with jealousy and anger, but she had to pretend to smile. The voice coming through the receiver was as gentle as spring water.

Pressing the phone to his ear, Nicholas continued playing his cards and said indifferently, "Playing cards at the club."

After hearing Nicholas had taken Beatrice to the club, Hannah felt even less jealous but had to force a smile and say, "Do you need me to come over and keep you company?"

"No need, Beatrice is here."

Nicholas’s tone always remained indifferent, his coldness was evident, and Hannah could no longer continue to pester, gently saying, "Oh, continue with your card game then. Let me talk to Beatrice."

Nicholas stretched his long arm holding the phone over, "Your sister wants to talk to you."

Beatrice took the phone and walked towards the window, distancing herself a bit from the card table, coldly asking, "What’s up?"

Upon hearing Beatrice’s voice, Hannah’s attitude immediately shifted 180 degrees, and her tone became sharp, no longer as gentle as before.

"Beatrice, don’t think that dad took you back home to acknowledge you! If you hadn’t caused such a big mess, dad wouldn’t care about you at all! I’m warning you! Have some self-awareness and don’t even think about snatching Nicholas away!"

After Hannah hung up the phone, Beatrice smirked sarcastically.

Delusion, huh?

Heh! She was determined to see whether it was Hannah who was deluded, or herself! The man was originally hers; now she simply wanted to take back what belonged to her!

Passing by the card table, Beatrice deliberately lifted her hand onto Nicholas’s shoulder, raising the phone to take a selfie, knowing he would cooperate. His handsome face faced the camera, his thin lips curving slightly.

After taking the selfie, Beatrice sat on the sofa and posted on social media,

...Isn’t it time for something to happen spending a romantic night with such a handsome man...

In the villa, Hannah stood in the living room clenching her waist, panting heavily. The phone in her palm vibrated suddenly with a WeChat notification; Beatrice not only posted on social media but also deliberately sent the photo taken with Nicholas to her.

Seeing the two faces pressed closely together, Hannah was so furious she smashed her phone on the spot.

After sending the WeChat, Beatrice could imagine Hannah’s reaction upon seeing the photo, her mood suddenly improved, and she continued gossiping with Titus Zane.

Beatrice always got along chatting with Titus Zane. The pain of a "face-worshiper" was liking handsome and beautiful people, but a small incident occurred midway. Felix Shaw had Mia Foster play cards for him and promised that her winnings would be hers, but upon seeing Mia win so many chips, he immediately went back on his word, frustrating Mia, who cursed him and got up to leave.

And Titus Zane also joined in the fun, wanting to leave with Mia, little anticipating that when he got up, Nathan Moore pulled him back.

Due to the urgent movement, the cigarette butt in the finger burned Titus Zane’s hand. Together with Beatrice, they went to the front desk of the club to bandage his "injury". Watching Nathan Moore’s anxious appearance, Beatrice disdainfully mocked him countless times in her heart.

If you had cared about Sister Zane like this three years ago, Sister Zane would not have run away from home!

Seems like all men are the same, not knowing to cherish when someone’s by their side, like that bad uncle... Knowing she’s helpless yet still heartlessly neglecting her...

Now pretending to be a love-stricken fool, staying loyal for three years, not dating even at his advanced age.

After bandaging Titus Zane, everyone went back their own ways. Sitting in Nicholas’s luxury car, watching the buildings lining the road, Beatrice’s little heart leaped again.

Because this was the road leading to Uncle Croft’s villa.
