My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 648

Chapter 648

Zell Villa was very lively.

Grant rarely hosted birthday parties, and his 70th birthday was an

exception.

He did not invite a lot of people, but the people he invited were all people who could command respect.

Even Jade received an invitation.

At the entrance, a black car slowly came to a stop.

After the driver got out of the car, he quickly went to open the door.

Immediately after, the Zells went over.

Jade held a delicate box as he got out of the car. When he saw the Zells, he grinned. “Mr. Zell, I’m not late, am I?”

He was wearing all gray like a farmer.

“No, not at all. It’s still early!” Grant shook Jade’s hand, feeling overwhelmed by favor.

“This is something I prepared for you. I hope you like it.” Jade looked guilty.

“What are you saying? I’m delighted that you can attend my party.

How can I accept this gift?” Grant rejected.

“Haha, Mr. Zell, you’re the birthday boy, so it’s normal for me to give you a gift. You must accept it.” Jade laughed.

“Well…” Grant looked embarrassed.

“Gosh, just accept it, Grandpa! Mr. Governor is so busy, yet he prepared something for you right after work. If you don’t accept you’ll be letting him down.”

Sydney interrupted with a grin.

Jade was not an ordinary person, and Grant was just rejecting his gift as a courtesy.

If Sydney interrupted at this moment, it would ease the awkwardness between both sides.

“I can’t reject your great kindness, so I guess I’ll humbly accept this.”

Grant accepted Jade’s gift.

Then, he looked at Sydney and said, “Sydney, go outside and wait for the Lewises.”

The Lewises were Hera and her family.

He should welcome them himself because of Nash’s influence on Jonford.

However, something happened to Nash, so he could not attend his party.

Yet, Sydney came back and told Grant that Nash asked Hera and her family to come.

The Lewises were just a third-rated family, so asking Sydney to welcome them was enough respect for them.

Sydney whispered in Grant’s ear, “Grandpa, Mr. Skype might come

with them.”

She forgot to tell Grant that Theo was with the Lewises.

Grant was slightly startled. “Mr. Skye? Which Mr. Skye?”

There were no Skyes in Capiton.

“Olivia’s man! Theo Skye!”

“Theo Skye?”

Grant’s pupils contracted.

Then, he looked at his son. “Fred, go wait for them with Sydney. I have to bring Mr. Governor inside.”

When talking about business value alone, Theo was 10,000 times more powerful than the governor.

However, he should accept whatever help he could get. His business was in Jonford, and he needed Jade to help him in the future.

Therefore, he had to show that Jade was more important than Theo in his heart.

“Alright,” Fred answered excitedly.

Grant was in a good mood. He grabbed Jade’s arm and said, “Mr. Governor, after you.”

Jade replied, “You can just call me by name in private, Mr. Zell. We

sound like strangers if you keep calling me Mr. Governor.”

The two walked side-by-side into the villa while laughing.

About five minutes later, an Audi and a BMW arrived outside.

It was Harrison’s and Lauren’s cars.

Soon after, Hera and her family walked over.

“They’re here!”

Sydney went over happily.

Fred did not see Theo, so he quickly stopped smiling. “Hera!” Sydney gave Hera a hug passionately.
