My Substitute CEO Bride Nash Calcraft chapter 1426:
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. If 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 a house in Huevo County, where she lived a comfortable life.
She had a former classmate working as a sanitation worker in Jonford. She mentioned the Jonford 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…

She hated the Lewises.
Everything belonging to the Lewises should have been hers, but Hera and her family snatched it away.
She did not come today to attend the funeral but to humiliate the Tembys and vent her resentment.
"Are you done?"
Adam knelt by the coffin. His voice was dry and hoarse.
He also knew that the collapse of Royal Bay was not due to geological reasons.
It was the enemies of the Lewises seeking revenge.
His mother's death was indeed related to the Lewises.
However, could the Lewises be blamed for this?
The chairman's family felt guilty about his mother's death and personally comforted them. They gave them ten million in compensation.
There had been accidents resulting in deaths in the company before, but the compensation the company gave was not even close to a million.
He did not think the Lewises were heartless.
On the contrary, the chairman's family valued relationships, and the chairman and his wife treated his mother as family. Hera and Nash respected his mother, treating her as an elder.
"How much compensation did the Lewises give your mother?" Rooney suddenly asked.
From what she knew about Harrison's family, they were not stingy.
Now that Harrison's Baroque had become the leading chip company in Jonford, their wealth must have increased significantly. They should have given Maria's family a lot of compensation.
That was the second reason she came to Maria's funeral. She had not divorced Hubert yet, so she was still a part of the Lewises. She wanted to reclaim what belonged to the Lewises.
"What does it have to do with you?" Adam said indifferently.
"They didn't give any, did they?
"I already said that the Harrison family is heartless. Your mother worked for the Lewises for nearly 20 years, and in the end, they didn't even give her a decent funeral!"
Rooney had recently read a warfare strategy book. She was now using psychological warfare to provoke Adam.
Seeing Adam unmoved, she looked at the relatives of the Tembys and said, "Let me tell you, the Lewises now have assets worth at least over a billion. Maria worked for the Lewises for 17 years, and she died because of the Lewises, yet the Lewises didn't give a penny.
"If you want Maria's death to be worth something, go to Jonford and demand more money from Baroque!"
"What, over a billion?"
Johnny's eyes nearly popped out.
Then, his expression darkened. "The Lewises are despicable. We'll go to Jonford tomorrow and demand for money!"
Maya's eyes also glowed with greed. "Why wait until tomorrow? Let's book tickets now…"
Adam finally lost his temper, stood up, and said, "The Lewises gave my mother ten million in compensation, but this money has nothing to do with any of you!"
Rooney slapped Adam in the face. "Who said it has nothing to do with us? This is the Lewises' money. Give back that ten million to me!"
With these words, everyone present was stunned.
Was that sum of money not compensation? Why did she want it back?
From what she said, it sounded like she was not a part of the Lewises.
Adam glared at Rooney. "Rooney, you're disappointing. Your husband and daughter have turned over a new leaf, but you're getting worse. What a shameless woman!"
Rooney wanted to slap Adam again, but this time, Adam grabbed her wrist. Adam said coldly, "The slap is intentional harm. According to the Public Security Management Law, I can have you sentenced to more than three years…"
"Oh, you want to sue me?
"Adam, oh Adam, have you ever looked at who you are
"Let me tell you, in Huevo County, no one dares to convict me of any crime!
"Let me ask you again, will you give back that ten million?"
Rooney snorted, and then she suddenly broke free from Adam's grip.
Adam said, "Don't you feel like a clown? This is the compensation Mr. Lewis gave to my mother. It belongs to my mother, and none of you should think about touching it!"
Rooney sneered. "If you won't give it, fine. Just you wait…"
With that, she took out her phone and dialed a number. "Bostin, bring your men into the village!"
