Mr. CEO, You Are Only My Substitute Husband Chapter 58: A Solution for Kingsley Corporation
Knock, knock.The sound of two knocks on the car’s window abruptly pulled Lysia out of her wandering thoughts.She quickly rolled down the window, revealing a stern-faced police officer. However, his serious demeanor softened into a small smile upon recognizing her."Good afternoon, Mrs. Reinhart. I wasn’t expecting to run into you here," he said. "I’m sorry to inform you, but this area has a strict 30-minute parking limit during peak hours. I’d appreciate it if you could move your car soon.""Captain Grey, thank you for the reminder. I apologize for the inconvenience," Lysia replied, fastening her seatbelt and pressing the ignition button.Captain Grey shook his head slightly before continuing, "Parking on this street… Are you heading toward the Kingsley estate? Please send my regards to Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley, Ryan, and Mr. Reinhart.""Of course. And please extend my greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Grey as well. My father must miss them since they moved back home," Lysia responded politely

[WARNING R-18] THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS. “Kyle… mmh… let me go first,” Lysia spoke in broken breaths. She was nearly out of air from Kyle’s deep, consuming kiss. Her back felt cold against the surface of his car, and the only way she could stay steady was by wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. They had just bid farewell to their parents and were still in the parking area of the Kingsley estate. Kyle slowly pulled away from her lips, tilting her delicate chin up as he murmured in his husky, seductive voice, “Didn't you say you missed me? So I had to come to you right away. Still clinging onto him, Lysia pouted, “You drank too much again. I told you not to have more than three glasses, but you never listened to me!” Kyle's deep chuckle brushed against her ears like an intoxicating melody, blending with the soft evening breeze. They stood there like a picture-perfect couple, bathed in the dim glow of the parking lot lights, m

One week later.Today marked the presentation of technology solutions by R-Tech, a subsidiary of Reinhart Corporation, and NexusAI. As a shareholder of Kingsley Corporation, Lysia attended the event and participated in the voting process. Initially, it was believed that only NexusAI possessed the innovative technology they needed. However, in just a few short months since NexusAI's announcement, R-Tech's team had successfully developed a similar system with additional enhancements.Kingsley Corporation’s logistics system had been facing severe issues. Fortunately, with Reinhart Corporation's assistance, the situation had temporarily stabilized, allowing operations to continue smoothly until a new technological system could be implemented.Reinhart Corporation was given a one-week deadline.Most Kingsley shareholders were astonished by Reinhart Corporation’s impressive capabilities. Under Kyle Reinhart’s leadership, the company had experienced exponential growth and demonstrated signif

“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Mr. Ryan Kingsley, I would like to announce the start of today’s meeting. We have placed the two plans of R-Tech and NexusAI on the table at your seats. Before listening to the presentations of each party, please read them first to make your own assessment, contributing to the objective vote at the end of the meeting.” David Thompson, the head of transportation and logistics of Kingsley Group’s headquarters, stood at the podium. He then added, looking down at the seats filled with shareholders and representatives from the two companies, “Okay, now which company wants to present first?” In an instant, the whispers suddenly disappeared. The entire room seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for one of the two parties to volunteer to come forward first. Austin leisurely tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and then smirked, “Because it is a small business that has just entered the Reeds City market, then Reinhart Corpor

"Mr. Reinhart, R-Tech's stock is continuously declining. It seems that news of our technological defeat has spread throughout the city," Sebastian reported from his seat to Kyle’s right, his eyes fixed on the candlestick chart displayed on his computer screen.In just a few short hours, R-Tech had lost 500,000 shares."This is a sign of a sell-off," Kyle observed coldly."A sell-off?" Sebastian and several other R-Tech employees exchanged surprised glances.Kyle held the latest stock market report for R-Tech, tracking data from the past two months—the exact timeframe when NexusAI had begun making moves in Reeds City. A massive influx of capital had surged into R-Tech, rapidly driving up its stock price, even before Kyle had approved funding for the company's new project. As an astute executive, Kyle had noticed the unusual activity early on.However, he lacked the concrete evidence to draw conclusions. Reeds City was home to many hidden affluent investors. Initially, he had assumed th

“Thank you, Captain Grey. It was truly fortunate that you arrived in time,” Lysia shook hands with James Grey and smiled in gratitude.James returned her smile, a stark contrast to the serious demeanor he had while on duty. “You did well by calling the police in advance, Mrs. Reinhart. I live in the apartment across the hall, so jumping in to handle an emergency like this is just second nature to a cop.”“You live here?” Lysia asked in surprise before turning to glance at Helen, who stood behind her.Noticing Helen grimacing in pain, Lysia stepped closer and lowered her voice, “Are you okay?”Helen tried to suppress her discomfort, her face pale as she forced out, “I… I’m fine…”Lysia, however, was unconvinced. She firmly pulled back the hem of Helen’s shirt, revealing a large bruise along her side. Her expression darkened for a brief moment before she grabbed Helen’s arm and led her toward her car. “I’m taking you to the hospital for a checkup.”“Mrs. Reinhart, wait a moment,” James

That night, instead of returning to Reinhart Grand Apartment, Lysia went back to the Kingsley estate. As soon as she entered her familiar bedroom, she collapsed onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow. Before long, soft sobs echoed through the room.Kyle’s sharp, scolding voice kept replaying in her mind, over and over again.For someone who had always been cherished like Lysia, this was a severe emotional blow, especially since it came from the man she loved deeply.The next morning, Lysia woke up and got ready for work as usual.When she turned on her phone, there were no missed calls. No messages.She truly wanted to stand in front of Kyle and ask him, “Just what exactly do you mean by this attitude?”When she went downstairs, the butler looked surprised to see her in the mansion. After all, she had returned in the middle of the night when everyone was already fast asleep. Only the security guards knew she had come back.“Lys, I didn’t know you were home, so I didn’t prepare b

At Austin Miller’s house. Austin sat on the sofa, watching as the doctor and nurse checked Lysia’s vitals once again. About two minutes later, they completed the health examination and began packing up their equipment. Before Austin could say anything, the doctor removed his mask and calmly informed him, “Mr. Miller, you can rest assured—your wife is fine. She only has a common cold, which caused some physical weakness and led to her fainting. However, she must stay in a relaxed state, as that would be best for the baby. In these early stages, you and your family should take good care of her.” This doctor had been called in for Lysia’s emergency case and had witnessed Austin’s deep concern for her from start to finish. Naturally, he had misunderstood the relationship between the two. The more Austin listened, the more confused he became. His brows furrowed as he asked, “Excuse me? What baby are you talking about?” “The baby in her womb. Your child? Don’t tell me you didn’t kn

At the restaurant across from RRC Newsroom. “Oh my God, I can’t believe there’s a tiny little life inside this perfectly flat stomach of yours. You’re not messing with me, are you? It’s not even April Fool’s Day yet.” Lysia squinted at Catherine with suspicion. She reached out, placed her hand on Catherine’s belly, then pressed her head against it, as if trying to hear the baby inside. Catherine laughed, gently pushing Lysia’s head away before pulling a medical report from her purse and placing it on the table. “It’s only been three weeks. How could you possibly hear the baby move? If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.” After reading the report, Lysia froze for a moment before suddenly jumping up and wrapping Catherine in a tight hug, her voice filled with excitement. “Sweetheart! That means I get to be a mom too, right? We promised we’d be godmothers to each other’s children!” “Lysia, you’re squeezing me too tight—I can’t breathe,” Catherine gasped, lightly patting Lysi
