All Chapters of His Substitute Bride: Love at First Cure: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next second, Helena's office erupted with a blood-curdling scream, as if a pig were being slaughtered.There was no need to witness the scene firsthand to know just how badly Victor had been beaten.That day, two major incidents shook Glory Group internally.First, Victor was severely beaten. Rumors said his face was covered in blood, and he had to be taken to the hospital.Second, the woman caught on surveillance footage was immediately fired by Helena.Actually, many people were curious about this matter because that pantry was an employee rest area and there was no surveillance.In Glory Group, aside from workspaces, many private areas weren't monitored.Yet somehow, this dramatic footage inexplicably spread.Helena had long known about her husband's adultery. As long as it wasn't excessive, she would turn a blind eye to minor flirtations.But this time, the whole company had seen the footage.And the moment Victor uttered "fat pig," Helena had no way to save face.Who was she?

Dawson's words made Caleb on the other end of the phone go silent for several seconds.Caleb: "Mr. Mercer?"Dawson: "Yes, it's me."Caleb: "Where's Raine?"Dawson: "She's not available to answer. If you have something to say, tell me. I'm her husband."Caleb's face darkened slightly, especially when he heard Dawson say, "I'm her husband." It made him feel a deep sense of unease.Caleb: "Ah, it's nothing really, just that recently my mom—"Dawson: "If there's nothing important, don't call again. Everyone is busy."Beep, beep, beep...Before Caleb could finish his sentence, Dawson had already hung up.After ending the call, Dawson glanced at Lorraine, who was sitting beside him."Do you want to know who called?""No."Alright then, this girl was really something. She didn't even have a hint of curiosity.Breakfast ended, but Helena's family still didn't show up.Even Agnes couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Helena's family come these past two days?"Baron, Dawson's third uncle, exchange

Dawson took off his suit jacket with a calm face and was about to step forward to argue when suddenly he was grabbed by a hand.He turned his head and saw Lorraine's calm and composed face.Lorraine didn't say anything; she just shook her head at Dawson."Yeah, since they said it can cure Mom's chronic illness, we should definitely investigate it thoroughly," said Annabelle. She had always been a pushover, so it was normal for her to help Helena."Mom, why don't you just get yourself checked, treat it as a physical examination? Look, Helena even brought the doctor home, how thoughtful, so you don't have to take a car to the hospital," Baron also coaxed the Agnes."Yeah, my daughter rarely shows such filial piety," Agnes stared at Helena, unsure if her words were sincere or sarcastic.But Helena didn't care about those things; she had been extremely frustrated these past two days.Victor had been beaten by her and ended up in the hospital. The nanny at home couldn't take care of her ch

"Apologizing is really unnecessary. Helena is an elder, so it is unreasonable for the younger generation to apologize.""But when you lose, you should still make a gesture, right? This watch in Helena's hand is not bad, so why not give it to Raine as a small gift, as a way to thank her for curing Grandma's illness. Of course, if Helena is reluctant, then consider me not saying anything," Dawson said lightly.Helena was almost furious... Isn't being slapped in the face enough? And now he wants to extort her Vacheron Constantin watch?Helena was about to refuse when she heard Agnes say, "Alright, it's settled then. Raine rarely likes something, so Helena, you can give it to the younger generation. You won't be missing a watch either.""Mom, this is..." Helena felt tightness in her chest. Just when she thought being slapped in the face was not enough, she was also being blackmailed for a watch."Hey, I never said I wanted the watch." Lorraine tugged at Dawson's sleeve and muttered softly

"This still doesn't justify you peeping while I'm changing," Lorraine said angrily.Dawson put down his phone and looked at her calmly. "I wasn't peeping. I was watching openly.""Do you have no shame?""And besides, I wasn't watching just anyone. I was watching my own wife. What's wrong with that?""You're absolutely shameless!"Lorraine was extremely angry, so she grabbed a nightgown from the bed and covered herself before rushing into the bathroom.Dawson couldn't help but smirk slightly.He enjoyed teasing her, seeing her get angry was entertaining.Over an hour later, Lorraine finally stepped out of the bathroom, her hair dried."You're still here?" she asked."When are you moving back to the master bedroom?"Lorraine ignored him and then changed the subject, picking up a watch from the dresser and handing it to him. "Here, take this back."It was Helena's watch, which Lorraine had won in a bet."You won it. It's yours.""I don't want it. It's too valuable." Lorraine hadn't misse
