My Substitute CEO Bride

The renowned and powerful East Warden was pointing at the Lewis family. To outsiders, this was a golden opportunity, a chance to skyrocket in status.

However, the Lewis family did not respond to Caspian. They did not even glance his way.

Caspian was unfazed. He simply called out, "Members of the Lewis family, would you come up and perform?"

Harrison stood up, placed his hand on his chest in respect, and said, "Thank you for your favor, East Warden, but we of the Lewis family are mere businesspeople without talents to display. We are wholly dedicated to commerce and have no time for other pursuits." This statement infuriated the other nobles who did not know the Lewis family.

Gage from the Eastern Territory's Garcia family snapped, "The East Warden's invitation for you to perform is a blessing for your family. Don't be ungrateful!"

Others from the Eastern Territory chimed in as well.

"Indeed. Just look at them, they don't seem like a prestigious family."

"Exactly, the warden is giving them respect, but they don't appreciate it."

At this moment, Theo could no longer sit still. He hurriedly stepped in to mediate.noveldrama

"Everyone, this is the East Warden's birthday banquet. Let's refrain from unpleasant words to maintain the nice atmosphere, shall we?"

Though the nobles from the Eastern Territory did not know the Lewis family, they recognized Theo and the Schmidts. Seeing Theo trying to smooth things over, they reluctantly returned to their seats. Theo then approached the East Warden.

"I apologize for the offense. It was improper for someone of my lowly status to intervene. Please forgive me."

"It's no problem," Caspian replied calmly.

Seeing that Caspian did not seem angry, Theo could not let him be

humiliated. He then offered

don't mind, Mr. Warden, as the so-called King of Songs in the Northern Territory, I could sing for you. Would you honor me by listening to a song?"

Caspian did not respond. He had a dark expression on his face. Before this, he had been eyeing everyone in the Lewis family.

At this time, Theo approached Caspian once again.

Unexpectedly, Caspian actually

glared at Theo, though his expression had turned cold. He Theo's round figure up and down disdainfully before coldly saying,

sing?"

Theo was taken aback. Who would have thought the old man would be so rude toward him?

"Ah... Mr. Warden, I just thought you seemed bored-"

Caspian interrupted, pointing again at the Lewis family's table, "I already told you, I want them to perform. If you have the guts, try buzzing around me like a fly again." Caspian's words made everyone present shudder.

The image of the kind warden from television was shattered, but the nobles were not too surprised. As

the warden, he deserved res tene

Theo returned to his seat dejectedly. He no longer tried to appease Caspian. He had thought the East Warden would be as good-natured as the North Warden, but now, he realized how mistaken he was. Seeing the tense situation, Harrison slowly approached the platform in front of Caspian.

"In that case, I'll sing for everyone!"

Caspian interrupted, "Did I say I wanted you?"

He pointed at Hera. "I want her to dance."

Harrison hurried to explain, "My daughter's pregnant and can't perform. Please forgive us, Mr. Warden."

"I said, I want her to dance. Does no one in the Lewis family have functioning ears?"
