Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

The full moon banquet was in full swing when a "gatecrasher," the Quinn family’s CEO Dominic Quinn, unexpectedly arrived with an invitation from who knows where.

Dominic Quinn is currently only temporarily acting as CEO. A month ago, Nathan Moore and Felix Shaw had already nearly acquired all the stocks of their company from the secondary market.

Watching the trio raise their stakes repeatedly in the secondary market, Dominic Quinn began to feel anxious, but it was already too late; the Quinn family’s company was now facing division among four factions.

Felix Shaw and Mia Foster each held nearly ten percent of the stocks, while Nathan Moore had purchased a significant amount at high prices from other shareholders, holding 21% of the company’s shares.

As for Dominic, due to his greed for profit, he had long liquidated his shares in the secondary market, leaving only a small percentage.

The company’s board had decided to convene a shareholders’ meeting before the year’s end to discuss the issue of company leadership.

Dominic Quinn was well aware that after the shareholders’ meeting, the company he had painstakingly established would change ownership. What angered him the most was that Daemon Lancaster, who had repeatedly promised to collaborate with him, had also switched sides.

Knowing full well that the company was about to change hands, yet refusing to help, Dominic Quinn arranged for his wife and daughter to leave the country, preparing to expose the true faces of the Lancaster family’s hypocrites before he left.

Dominic Quinn first came before Violet Zimmerman with a feigned congratulatory gesture.

Dressed in a gray suit, Dominic Quinn held the invitation in both hands, bowing with a smile to Violet Zimmerman and Joseph Lancaster, saying, "Congratulations to you both, the Lancaster family has gained another member, truly good fortune for the two of you!"

Joseph Lancaster and Violet Zimmerman exchanged a glance, neither looking very pleased.

If they were a couple, Dominic Quinn’s words would have been acceptable, but they were uncle and sister-in-law, and Dominic’s congratulations were clearly suggestive.

Recalling Aunt Zhang’s mention, Zhang’s wife was gossiping when Vanessa Quinn happened to come by; both understood the situation.

Furthermore, no invitation had truly been sent to Dominic Quinn, so his intention for coming was apparent.

Joseph Lancaster smiled in gratitude, picking up a glass of champagne from the nearby table. At more than fifty years old, the second lord of the Lancaster family was famous for his good temperament.

Passing the champagne to Dominic Quinn, Joseph Lancaster sighed, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Quinn, for coming to congratulate despite past grievances. We, the Lancaster family, also regret previous matters; my elder sister-in-law had indeed been fond of your daughter, a pity though,"

At this, Joseph Lancaster sighed again in helplessness.

"Our children can’t always be controlled by us. Sorry, Mr. Quinn, I apologize on behalf of Evander."

Joseph Lancaster’s humble demeanor was sincere given his status, but unfortunately, some just didn’t know their place.

Dominic Quinn sneered coldly, "Second lord, isn’t it too late for these words? I know your Lancaster family holds power and influence, and even ten Quinn families cannot compare. But!"

Dominic Quinn’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, his voice rising, seeming intent on making more people hear his words.

"Isn’t your Lancaster family too overbearing? Since your son is already married, why do you still lure my daughter? Making my daughter a laughingstock, that’s not enough; you even purposely fabricated those photos to frame her! Mr. Lancaster! Chairman Zhang, is this what you taught your sons to do!"

Violet Zimmerman’s face suddenly turned ugly; they say a guilty conscience is always suspicious, and listening to Dominic Quinn’s words seemed to suggest he already knew something, otherwise he wouldn’t say, "your two good sons"!
