Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1086 - 1082: The Hargrave Family’s Youngest Daughter Is the CEO’s Beloved

Alexander...

Stifled by his own boss, he turned his head to glance at Nicholas Croft. Though he said nothing, the defiant look in his eyes said it all.

With a faint, cold smile, he turned and strode away.

"Uncle, what’s wrong with you?" Beatrice feigned ignorance and asked, shaking the hand she was holding, just as Nicholas noticed the thermos cup in her other hand.

Alexander was an artist under their company and often carried his belongings with him. Nicholas recognized the thermos and, without answering Beatrice, took the cup from her hand and tossed it away.

"You dare use someone else’s cup to drink water, aren’t you afraid of catching a virus!"

Beatrice...

Always knew this man was stingy, but never thought he could be this stingy. She was just using a colleague’s cup, and yet he...

Suppressing the laughter in her heart, she whispered, "I’ve even shared a sip with Uncle, and I haven’t caught any virus." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Nicholas...

Gritting his teeth as he looked at Beatrice’s innocent expression, he cursed under his breath, "Little brat, just wait until tonight, I’ll deal with you!"

"Uncle? Aren’t we rehearsing late into the night today?" Beatrice’s face lit up with surprise. Seeing the innocent look on her face, Nicholas’s displeasure vanished, but he deliberately kept a straight face and retorted, "You want to rehearse? Then let’s do it. I’ll announce overtime tonight!"

"Uncle, I’m a bit worn out, maybe we shouldn’t pull an all-nighter,"

Beatrice pleaded coyly, shaking Nicholas’s arm. Beside the stage, the two were shamelessly flaunting their affection, and the perceptive staff could tell that the Hargrave Family’s little daughter was the actual apple of their CEO’s eye. As for the eldest daughter, she kept trying to ingratiate herself, but the CEO never showed her a kind face!

In the resting area, Alexander sat with his head down, strumming a guitar. A man not fond of communication, his face was now even more expressionless.

In the evening, before rehearsing ended, Henry Hargrave called his daughter.

"Bea, when will it end? I’ll send the driver to pick you up."

With the phone pressed to her ear, Beatrice glanced at the man standing in front of her and turned her back to Nicholas, pressing her phone tightly, as if afraid of anyone hearing, "Dad, no need, there’s a colleague who lives nearby. I’ll hitch a ride with him."

"Ok, around what time will you be back?"

Henry insisted no further on sending the driver and asked sternly.

Ever since Nicholas left, Hannah had locked herself in her room, and his wife, Josephine, had stood outside the door persuading for a long time but to no avail.

In the afternoon, his wife sat on the sofa complaining, saying that Nicholas treated Hannah this way, he must have set his eyes on some other woman and changed his heart...

Perhaps Josephine’s grievances were unintentional, but Henry took them seriously. Suddenly, he thought of Nicholas’s special attention to their youngest daughter, Beatrice.

When he was dating Hannah in the past, being concerned about Beatrice seemed reasonable, after all, she was his girlfriend’s sister.

But now, under such circumstances, he’s still busy helping Beatrice prepare for her concert; it seems a bit unreasonable.

So, Henry wanted to ask his youngest daughter if Nicholas had ever expressed or done anything inappropriate. If so, it would be best to stop things before they escalated.
