My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1629

Maverick stood up and walked toward Reyrena. His indifferent voice hit her heart like a heavy hammer. Reyrena broke out in a cold sweat.

Indeed, she was just an ordinary college girl. Maverick was the Northwest Prince. With just a word, he could make the underworld king of Bint City kneel down and use his proud Bloodthirsty Blade to slice apples. Where on earth did Reyrena get the courage to mock him?

"I... I..." Reyrena was extremely nervous. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Maverick walked to the edge of the couch and placed his palms on it as he fixed his icy gaze on Reyrena.

"Boo-hoo... I'm sorry... I won't dare to mess with you anymore..." Reyrena actually started to cry. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly while trembling.

Maverick pinched Reyrena's chin. He pressed his thin lips against hers, silencing all sounds.

Reyrena was speechless!

What...

Was she just kissed forcefully? By the Northwest Prince? She stared wide-eyed at Maverick in disbelief, her heart pounding like crazy. After a while, their lips parted. Maverick smirked, "Is this your idea of a domineering CEO?"

He would only reveal his true nature in private settings. In business, he was the epitome of a domineering CEO.

Reyrena absentmindedly touched her lips and timidly nodded.

"Mr. Maverick, we found it!" Maverick's confidant walked in from the door.

"Speak!" Maverick continued to exude his domineering CEO aura. Since Reyrena liked domineering CEOs, he would let her have her fill.

"It was arranged by the Yoners, and the mastermind behind it is Gideon. He has been captured!"

The bodyguard glanced at Gemma. He also found out that Gideon was Gemma's brother.

Gemma's pupils suddenly contracted. "Impossible... It couldn't have been my brother!"

Her brother had promised not to harm Ryan. He had to be taking the blame for the other family members.

Maverick said indifferently, "Bring him in!"

Two bodyguards brought in Gideon, whose face was bruised and swollen.

"Giddy..." Gemma stood up with bloodshot eyes.

"Kneel down..." The bodyguard kicked Gideon's shin.

Gideon was pressed down like a criminal. His saliva, mixed with blood, dripped onto the spotless floor.

Nash swirled the red wine in his glass, looking like a bystander enjoying the show.

"Why do you want to harm Ryan so badly?" Maverick towered over him, coldly questioning.

"He ruined the alliance between the Yoners and the Fishers!" Gideon's face was swollen, and his words were slurred.

"The Yoners really stop at nothing for power and influence!" Maverick sneered repeatedly, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

It was not just the Yoners. In the circles of aristocracy, many small families would resort to any means necessary for alliances.

Even among the Ten Families of Capiton, they would stop at nothing for alliances. Only by forming strong alliances could a family stabilize their fortune and cultivate a better generation in the future. "Maverick... Please, spare my brother!" Gemma suddenly knelt before Maverick and pleaded.

Maverick sneered. "Ryan has been a friend of Nash since childhood. Laying a hand on Nash's friend means declaring war on the Fisher family!"

The cocoon on the couch made cracking sounds. Everyone looked over and saw several cracks appearing on the cocoon.
