My Substitute CEO Bride

After Mosley said that, Nash recalled that his father had indeed asked him to be wary of Francis and his mentor in the past. However, he did not pay much heed to that piece of advice back then. After all, one was a mentor who had raised him while the other was a fellow disciple who had trained alongside him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not imagine them causing him harm. "What on earth do you know? Quick, tell me everything!"

"Don't panic, Master Nash. Don't panic. Enjoy your birthday celebration today. Soon, you'll know everything there is to know."

"You!"

Mosley turned and vanished into thin air.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Nash pretended everything was fine and made his way back to the table.

Hera asked nervously, "Who on earth was that guy just now?"

"Oh, it was nothing." Nash did not want his family dragged into the mess, so he just said calmly, "My martial brother sent over some wine as a birthday gift, and I gave the young man a little lecture." "Hm, is that so?" Hera asked, skeptical.

Theo noticed the awkwardness in the air and came over to smooth things over.

"Oh, Nash occupies a high spot in the hierarchy. It's normal for him to lecture the younger ones and teach them things. Ah, over here!" Theo snapped his fingers.

A crew of servers walked over with dishes, each one filled with luxurious food.

"Holy shit, you guys made such a big deal out of this!" Nash said as he watched the servers place dish after dish on the table. Soon, the table was filled with a hundred delicate-looking dishes. "I-Isn't this a little too much?"

"It's no big deal at all. Feel free to eat whatever you want to have, Nash. There's more if you want seconds. These dishes were all made fresh and transported here from the hotel I own. I can guarantee you they look, smell, and taste amazing!" "Gosh, you're really something else when it comes to food..."

"Well, it's your birthday, so I wanted to make it a joyous occasion! Come on, let's bring the cake out as well!"

After Theo-issued that command, a massive, six-layer birthday cake was brought forth. Every layer of that gorgeous cake was filled with expensive-looking ingredients and difficult-to-source fruits.

"Theo, I know you mean well, but..." Nash pointed at the top layer.

"What'snoveldrama

Caviarat on the top layer?

it really a suitable

ingredient for this?" Contentvel

"Gosh, it'll taste good. Just try it, Nash. You'll be convinced."

"Well..."

Then, a server lit the candles while Hera placed a birthday hat on Nash's head.

"Make a wish, honey."

"Alright," Nash replied, his voice soft.

He closed his eyes. Nash had a smile on his face as he closed his eyes, clasped his hands together,

and

made his wish.

"I wish..."

Then, he blew out the candles in one go.

Everybody clapped and cheered.

"Quick, quick! Cut the cake!"

"Alright, alright!"

Laughter accompanied that wonderful day.

"Hey, what's going on? Theo, did you sneak a piece?"

"Huh? What? You're wrongly accusing me!"

"Then why is there a piece of cake missing? Come on, admit it!"
