All Chapters of Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~Asher~***Returning to the company, I had expected to see the effect of Ian's 'leadership' on its affairs and I prepared for all of it. Thanks to Rocco who rounded up the ongoing projects for me secretly, there was not much of my hard work left for Ian to tarnish.In my absence, I discovered he had disrupted my set down plans by implementing new ones that were already bound to fail and he had dumped them for me to finalize, knowing they would yield no progress. He also suggested reelection for the CEO position with the board members and in the presence of our grandfather.I knew him to be audacious but it was alarming to see the extent he was going. I always refrained from publicly opposing Ian as I worried most about my grandfather and his health. He was the reason I held back until this moment and plotted to get rid of Ian by defeating him in areas that he believed he was better at.I planned to show the world how two-faced he was. It was all for my grandfather. I could have easil

***Julia sauntered into Asher's office, wearing her confidence on her shoulders so broad, he could see it.She grabbed a seat, plopped on it, and grinned at him.Asher could already tell the purpose for her coming, she had gotten the information quicker than he thought. He could have used her more if she had any more use on his quest to bring Ian down. His next goal was to get Ian completely terminated from Waltons and Julia had successfully become his key to achieving that goal.She had ticked that card for him."Here is the proof you wanted," she said, pushing a USB drive to his side of the desk. "Check it out and tell me what you think."Asher smirked, staring at her. If Ian found out what she had done, and how she meticulously framed him into confessing to his crimes, just to be with him instead, he would eventually lose his mind.Asher anticipated it like a movie. All he had to do was release the recording to the press anonymously and Ian was doomed for life. Knowing the kind of

~Elena~***As my finger moved to swipe through the comments on the net, my expression slowly started to falter. Although some were in Asher's favor, some weren't, and the ones that weren't worried me because of the gravity of their accusations.Knowing the kind of person Asher was, if he saw these negative comments, I wondered if he would be okay. He cared too much about his ego and false speculations like this might weigh him down. I wondered if his strength would be able to take it.Amongst the negative write-ups, the majority of them speculated that the reason was Julia's affair with Ian was due to Asher's impotence.They added that he couldn't meet his wife's sexual needs, hence she sought satisfaction from his brother.The sarcastic comments further implied that Asher's position in Waltons was nothing if he couldn't satisfy his woman.They showed support for Julia and urged her to be strong.Reading through a list of these negativities that got more brutal as I scrolled, I could

~Elena~***The living room looked the same as before the attack. There was no sign that a war had broken out in this exact place. It was perfectly patched with no error. The pillar that I had watched crumble to the ground by rains of bullets now stood strong in the same spot, everything was as beautiful as the first time I saw it.Walking further into the room, I sighted Asher and he smiled before signaling for me to come over."Did you wait for long? I'm sorry, it was hard picking out an outfit.""No, it was no wait at all. You look beautiful, you picked a perfect outfit." He complimented and my cheeks heated up."It's just an old dress that I have.." I let the words trail, realizing the explanation was unnecessary. "Thank you."Asher chuckled at my awkwardness before inviting me to the table."Here," he passed me a document. I picked it up and perused through it, before returning my gaze to him with a slight frown.The document contained proof of his and Julia's divorce. He had tol

***"Master," Tony waved a cell phone at Asher "it's Drew. He found them.""Where?" Asher asked, throwing his attention to him."An abandoned car factory on the outskirts of town. He sent a GPS." Tony revealed.At once, they hopped in the car and Tony zoomed off to the location, following the GPS.Asher was nervous and scared, it showed in his every action and he continuously glanced at the time. Within him, he prayed for Elena's safety and hoped to get there in time to stop Ian from carrying out his evil act.They arrived at the location in time and were immediately accosted by some bodyguards. Tony tried to fight them but after taking out three of the men, he was weakened to the floor."Let go of me!" Asher grunted as they held him down on the seat. "Ian!" He started to yell, "Come out and face me, you bastard!"A cackle sounded before Ian stepped out, a mockery grin on his face."Whoa Asher," he clapped, "if you weren't crippled, I would have thought you developed wings and flew to
