My Substitute CEO Bride

Upon hearing her brother's words, Maya's desire grew deep in her.

She let go of the past and focused on getting some money first.

With that in mind, she pushed aside the poker table and greeted flatteringly, "Mrs. Lewis, please come in!"

Rooney glanced at Maya and walked into the courtyard, heading toward the living room. Maya and the others immediately followed.

"Adam, come out and greet Mrs. Lewis..." Johnny shouted at Adam, who was kneeling on the ground.

'Mrs. Lewis? Who's that?' wondered Adam.

Adam left the living room and saw Rooney, his expression turning gloomy.

However, he quickly regained his composure. Perhaps she did come to mourn for his mother?

"Hello, Mrs. Lewis..."

Adam greeted respectfully.

When Herman's mother was alive, Maria called Herman's wife 'Madam'.

Hubert's wife was addressed as 'Mrs. Lewis', and Harrison's wife was called 'young Mrs. Lewis'.

Since Rooney was from the Lewises, Adam should address her as his mother did.

Rooney looked at Maria's black and white portrait with a sneer. Then, unexpectedly, she spat on the picture.

"What are you doing?" Adam's eyes widened in anger. He moved forward to attack her.

Johnny quickly stepped forward, holding Adam's waist. "Adam, don't be impulsive..."

Adam was furious. "Get off... She insulted my mother. I'm going to kill her..."

Rooney chuckled. "Come on, let go of him. I want to see if this lawyer dares to touch me?"

At her words, Johnny let go of Adam. Dealing with wealthy people like her could bring benefits if they just went along with her.

Adam grabbed Rooney's collar with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, but he hesitated to strike.

As a lawyer, he knew the consequences of his actions.

Rooney taunted him, sticking out her chubby face. "Go ahead, hit me, you dare to touch me, your dead mother won't rest in peace

Adam was trembling with rage, his veins bulging on the back of his hand.

Rooney continued, "Do you know that the chief of Huevo County is my cousin? He got to that position with my help!"

She was from Huevo County and had done much development work there after marrying into the Lewises years ago.

Her cousin became the county chief thanks to the political achievements she had helped create.

"Adam, let go!" Johnny shouted sternly.

Her identity as Mrs. Lewis was terrifying enough.

Was she even the cousin of the chief of Huevo County?

They could not afford to offend her.

Adam was burning with anger, but to ensure his mother's funeral carried on peacefully, he reluctantly let go of Rooney's collar.

He walked over, picked up his mother's portrait, and carefully wiped off the saliva with his sleeve.

"Your mother was blind. She insisted on following Hera and her family, so she deserved her miserable end!"

Rooney, born in Huevo County, fled

two months ago with ten million dollars. She bought a car and house in Huevo County, where she lived a comfortable life.

She had a former classmate working as a sanitation worker Jonford. She mentioned the Janford Royal Bay collapse incident

yesterday, so she looked it up online.

Unfortunately, only the Lewises' maid died.

"Poor thing, your mother treated Hera like her daughter. In the end, they wouldn't even spare her a glance!

"In their eyes, both you and your mother are servants, slaves... Just dogs they raised!

"The Lewises are all heartless and ungrateful people. Working for them will never end well!"

Rooney continued her sarcasm.

She hated them...
