My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1133

Austin let out a sigh. “My eyes are acting up, and I'm seeing double. Why else
would I have asked you to drive earlier?”

Elsabeth immediately felt sorry for him and took the keys. “I'll drive!”

Nash shifted his gaze from Austin and took the keys. “I can drive!”

Austin stayed quiet. From his gaze, he was indeed causing Nash trouble.
Melody and Elsabeth settled into the back seat, while Austin took the front
passenger seat.

Nash questioned, “What's the old place’ you're talking about?”

“Just type “The Old Place’ into your GPS. It's a bar's name!” Elsabeth replied.
Nash typed “The Old Place’ into the GPS. 40 minutes later, Nash pulled up to a
parking lot outside the ancient town of Phoenicia.

Of all the ancient towns in Xanthalos, Phoenicia was the most renowned.

He strolled to a bar named “The Old Place’.

The first floor was bustling with patrons enjoying their drinks.

The second floor was reserved for dining.

At the bar's entrance, there was a woman who looked to be about Melody’s age.
She was wearing a business outfit and seemed tired, probably from just finishing
work.

“Mel... Elsie...”

She walked up and embraced them both.

Then, she turned to Austin and greeted him cheerfully.

“This is my friend, Nash. And Tina here is my college buddy!” Melody introduced.
Tina extended her hand to Nash, saying, “Hello!”

Nash casually shook her hand and greeted her back.

Tina glanced at Melody and Elsabeth with a hint of sadness. “Do I seem like a
fifth wheel here?”

Elsabeth laughed softly. “That's what you get for being a workaholic without a
partner!”

After some small talk, Tina led them to a private room upstairs.

The room's old-fashioned windows offered a view of the Xanthalos

River and the twinkling lights from countless homes on the other side.

A server, dressed in traditional garb, quickly brought out their drinks and food.
With a troubled look, Tina turned to Melody and said, “Mel, you really shouldn’t
have come back.”

Elsabeth’s smile faded away slowly.

Everyone knew the Stone family was in trouble. They were being pushed around
by the Palmers and the Eves.

In Xanthalos, it was the Palmers and the Eves who called the shots.

The Eves used to get along okay with the Stones, so when Melody left town, they
did not chase her down to finish her off.

Now that Melody was back, the Eves wouldn't be so forgiving.

Melody gave a small, knowing smile. “We have to face our fears sooner or later.
And I'm not alone this time,” she said.

She gave Nash, who was next to her, a quick look.

She might not stand a chance against the Palmers and the Eves on her own.
However, she had Nash.

Melody raised an eyebrow. “Just two months ago, they were still struggling to get
there, no?”

Elsabeth nodded. “Well, a month back, they dug up a Blood Spirit
