Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 121

Iris did not fall asleep all night while Lucia was being kept in prison for the trial result to be announced.

Everyone had been waiting to see Lucia being brought down. And Iris's frenemies kept calling her and ask her how Lucia failed to win the case.

Iris was both worried about her daughter and pissed. She kept tossing and turning in bed, which disturbed Henry's sleep.

Seven 'clock in the morning, before the sun had risen, Iris got out of bed.

Being woken up by the noises, Henry sat up with a livid face. "Why are you up so early?"

"Lucia is still in prison! How did you fall asleep? Figure something out!"

Iris was pissed that Henry could still fall asleep when their daughter was being detained.

Henry didn't sleep well and was irritated. "She made herself such a mess and she said she would handle it herself, didn't she?"

When Iris heard his words, she burst into tears. While crying, she kept cursing Henry.

Early in the morning, they had a big fight.

Rowan Scott, who had just returned from a business trip, walked over and saw Iris crying, he glanced at Henry.

Henry gave a hint at him and Rowan had to go comfort Iris, "Mom, stop crying. We have to go to Starry to solve this. Don't worry, I will talk to her later."

When Iris heard this, she finally stopped crying. "I went to her last night. She didn't want to give us a chance at all."

Rowan wasn't worried at all. "Don't worry, mom. I have something on her."

Iris took over the tissue handed by Rowan and wiped her tears. "What do you have on her?"

Rowan smiled. "I can't tell you. Although Starry doesn't have much power, if she really wants to break things up, she can hurt us somewhat."

"Are you afraid that I will spread it out?"

Rowan touched his nose. "That's not the case. I was just worried you might slip it."

Iris understood. Her son didn't trust her. With a snort, she replied. "Fine, just don't tell me, but you have to get your sister's ass out of this."

"Just trust me, mom. Come on, you have been crying all morning, you must be hungry, let's have breakfast."

Henry was already having breakfast, when Iris saw him, she was unhappy again, but she didn't cry anymore. She simply whined about him.

While the Scotts were having a fight, Starry slept until eight in the morning. When she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.

The weather was good, although it was still cold outside.

After washing up, she turned off the AC in the room and made herself a sandwich downstairs.

Finally, she had settled things with Lucia, and she had finished writing the prologue of her new book. Now it was time to finish her book.

She was not a prolific writer. Under the best circumstances, she could write two books in a year. Sometimes she could only write one book a year.

This would be her first book this year, it was called 'Take It Slow'. It was a scientific romantic novel.

This would be her first try at writing such a novel. She had written eight different prologues and finally got one right. However, when she read it today, she found that it was not perfect.

She frowned and was about to rewrite a prologue when the doorbell rang.

It was 9:15.

Who would come in the early morning?

She checked the time, stood up and put on her coat. Then she walked downstairs.

The weather was good today, although it was windy. As soon as she opened the door, the wind blew on her face.

Subconsciously, she pulled her scarf up a little bit. Ss soon as she walked pass the garden to the gate, she saw Rowan standing at the gate.

Lucia's brother.

Needless to say, Starry knew what he was here for.

She arched her eyebrows and pressed the button to open the door for him. "Mr. Scott?"

Rowan was a bit unsatisfied by how slow she walked over. With a frown, he looked arrogant, but when he saw her face, he was stunned.

It was his first time that he had ever been so close to her. She didn't wear any makeup. Down her coat, it was a blue sweater. Her face was fair and a bit red as the cold wind blew on her. It made her look more stunning.

Soon, he centered himself. "You don't seem happy to see me, Miss Bradley."

Starry glanced at him and said indifferently. "Why use the word ‘seem'?"

Rowan choked on her words and his face changed, "It seems you know why I am here. It's cold outside, do you mind letting me in?"

As he said, he was about to walk into the house.

However, Starry stood there and didn't move. "I do mind, Mr. Scott."

Rowan was embarrassed, "It seems that you don't want to talk to me at all. But aren't you worried that I might tell Filip the truth why you married him?"

Starry arched her eyebrows and looked calm, "What truth?"

"Miss Bradley, you should be familiar with Sebastian Willis, right?"

He said confidently.

He stared at Starry, trying to see the panic on her face.

However, there was no panic at all. Starry had been calm the whole time.

"What do you mean, Mr. Scott?"

As if she didn't understand his words at all, she frowned and looked at him in confusion.

Suddenly, Rowan couldn't be sure. But he didn't show it on his face, took out his phone and played a voice record.

"Starry, are you crazy? That's not my brother!"

"I am not crazy, Edward. I know he's not Sebastian. But. I need someone like Sebastian to keep me going."

"But he is not… Why do you have to marry him?"

"He is Sebastian, they look so alike, don't you think, Edward?"

"I don't!"

The voice record lasted only seconds, but one could hear the devastation and despair in Starry's words.

Although it was just a part of the voice record, everyone who knew Starry and Filip could figure out what this meant,

Rowan took back his phone and said, "This is not the original, Miss Bradley."

Starry looked at him. "So? Are you going to send this to Filip?"

As she said, she smiled. "Do you think I would care, Mr. Scott?"
