Chapter 465
Harrison and Lauren got into the car, and before they left, Lauren instructed, “Hera, don’t be too upset. The
important thing is that the upgrade parts are safe. I’ve already contacted the suppliers to reconstruct the control
room.
“If everything goes smoothly, we can resume production within three days.”
Harrison nodded in agreement as well. “We’ve been slugging it out for the past two weeks. These next few days will
give us a chance to rest.”
Hera gently nodded, replying, “I understand. Drive safely on your way.”
After Harrison and Lauren left, Nash and Hera returned to the villa. There was breakfast prepared by Maria on the

Hera suddenly recalled that Nash had gone to the warehouse and five people were rescued from the fire. They
were now in the hospital. “Nash, you’re not injured, are you?”
Nash smiled. “No, I’m not injured. Such a small fire can’t harm me.”
He even opened his arms and spun around.
Hera hugged Nash. A hint of vulnerability in her voice, she muttered, “Thank goodness you were there. Otherwise,
those parts would’ve been destroyed and our partnership with Drake Group would’ve washed down the drain.”
Nash patted Hera’s back gently. “Olivia and I have a good relationship with one another. The partnership would’ve
been fine.”
Hera continued, “No… Our photolithography machine is already quite old. If we don’t upgrade it soon, the chips we
produce will have significant drawbacks. That has been one of the reasons our company’s performance has been
lackluster.
“We spent over three months purchasing this batch of chips. It would’ve probably taken another three months if
they’d been burned. We can wait, but I doubt Drake Group can.
“Even if they did give us more time out of their respect for you, Drake Group would suffer significant losses,” Hera
explained. She looked into Nash’s deep eyes while embracing his neck.
“Either way, we managed to avert the danger this time,” Nash said while holding Hera’s waist. He looked at her
gentle red lips and felt the urge to kiss her.
However, Hera let go of Nash at this moment and took out her phone. “I need to call and check on those injured
employees.”
Feeling a bit disappointed, Nash sat down on the nearby sofa and grabbed an apple to fill his stomach. Just then,
Olivia called. He answered the call and put it on speaker mode before placing it on the table.

“Nash, I heard that Baroque caught fire last night?”
“Yeah, it did,” Nash answered as he took a bite of the apple. He shrugged off the clothes that had been burned as
they were scratching his skin.
“Was it a safety incident or was it a case of arson?” Olivia asked.
“It should be arson. The inspectors from the Inspection Office are already on the case, so you don’t need to worry,”
Nash mumbled absent-mindedly as he took another bite of the apple while shirtless.
“Alright. Nash. I’ve settled Luna. I bought her a small apartment and gave her some 30,000 dollars as a living
allowance.”
“Why so much? I only wanted you to manage your cousin so that he’d stop bothering the young woman.
