My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1134
Melody turned to Elsabeth with a warm smile. “Elsie, I can't thank you enough!”
Elsabeth giggled. “Come on, we're like sisters! I owe you big time. If it weren't for
you and the Stone family, I wouldn't be where I am today. My company’s raking in
over half a million each month!”
Elsabeth had just finished college and was starting her own business when she
met Melody.
Her parents had sold their house to give her the money to start up.
She was determined to make it big and return home a success.
Luck was not on her side, though. She got a tough reality check when she put all
her money into the stock market after trusting her cousin’s advice.
In less than a week, she lost it all.
She hit rock bottom and even thought about jumping off the Xanthalos River
Bridge.
That was when she ran into Melody.
They clicked instantly, like they had known each other forever. Melody did not
think twice before giving Elsabeth two million to kick-start her business again.
Elsabeth would never forget that act of kindness.
When Stone Group was in trouble, she was ready to sell her company to help
Melody out.
Melody turned her down. Money was not what she needed; she needed the
strength to stand up to the martial arts big shots.
“Back when the Stone family was on top, Mel had so many friends that we
couldn’t make room for them in our usual hangout sessions.
Now that the Stone family has fallen apart, it's just the two of us.”
Tina took a big gulp of clear liquor and immediately started coughing.
She was not used to drinking, but she felt so angry about the injustice Melody
was facing that she just had to let it out.
Elsabeth let out a huff. “They're all ungrateful. Without Mel's help, would they be
living so comfortably now?”
Melody looked down, took a small sip of her drink, and forced a smile.
“We can't really blame them. My family’s enemies are just too strong.”
“You're too nice. That's your problem,” Elsabeth said, giving Melody a look.
Melody’s smile grew wider. “Let's just enjoy our meal and drinks. I've missed the
liver from this place!”
She picked up a liver with a mischievous twinkle in her eye and put it on Nash's
plate. “Try this. The liver here is famous!”
Nash raised an eyebrow, grabbed the liver with his fork, and popped it into his
mouth. “How did you know I like liver?”
He suddenly thought of the time he invited Queenie to have liver and haggis
soup.
Melody paused, surprised. She thought most people did not like liver and was
trying to play a joke on Nash, but he actually liked it?
Elsabeth, sitting next to them, pushed her plate toward Melody with a playful
pout. “ want some too,” she said in a flirty tone, making Austin’s heart race.
Everyone at the table was eating and talking.
Elsabeth and Melody started talking about Austin. “Austin just got back from
overseas,” Elsabeth said with a big smile. “He’s now the boss of a finance
company!”

Melody’s eyes filled with tears in an instant.
Nash, overhearing Melody and Elsabeth’s chat, took a peek at Austin too.
He did look a bit like Atlas.
Austin acted as if he did not hear anything. He just focused on his drink and food.
He seemed a little sad.
Nash poured a drink and offered a toast, “How about a drink?”
Austin nodded and raised his glass. They clinked glasses.
They both finished their drinks in one gulp.
