My Substitute CEO Bride

Several underlings in the room who carried baseball bats immediately approached the construction site bosses.

Upon hearing the screams coming from the private room, Crow danced with excitement as he hugged the waists of two

hostesses.

“Crow… Those two women have woken up!” A thin underling hurried over as he exclaimed.

Half of his face was swollen, with traces of blood still not wiped clean from the corners of his mouth.

Crow glanced at the thin youngster and frowned. “Did you touch them?”

The thin underling said with a pitiful tone, “Those two women are so beautiful. I couldn’t resist…”

“Damn it!” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Crow kicked his underling’s chest, sending him flying three meters away.

“I haven’t even touched them yet, and you dare to act first? Do you not respect me as your boss?” Crow scolded angrily.

“Boss, I… I was beaten before I could even touch them…” the thin youth said, feeling wronged.

“Wait until I’m done enjoying myself, then I’ll hand them over to you. Tonight, we’ll make sure they suffer!”

Crow snorted coldly, then walked into the elevator with the two hostesses. He pressed the button for the basement’s third floor.

The third floor of the basement was a dim warehouse.

In addition to some miscellaneous items, there were several gambling tables.

Some were playing Roulette, while others were playing poker. There were about 20 people in total, all smoking and chewing gum. The entire warehouse was filled with smoke.

In a small room in the corner, Hera was curled up on the sofa and hugging her knees while murmuring, “It’s all my fault, Skade. I shouldn’t have invited you to go shopping!”

Skadi held Hera’s small hand and comforted her softly, “Rara, don’t overthink it. We were targeted by someone. Even if you hadn’t invited me to go shopping, we would’ve still ended up in this situation!”

Then, she blamed herself and said, “Truthfully, it’s all my fault. After encountering the assassin last time, I should’ve been more vigilant…”

Hera lowered her gaze and said, “If only Nash were here…”

Skadi wrinkled her nose, grumbling, “That guy doesn’t care about you at all… He said he’d protect you, but now he’s gone somewhere else to fool around. Men are all the same…”

If Nash had accompanied Hera to the Lees’ banquet during the day and went shopping with them at night, they would not have been kidnapped.

Up until now, they still did not know who had kidnapped them.

They had been shot with a tranquilizer gun, and although Skadi had regained some strength, her power was only one-third of what it was before.

Hera pursed her lips and guiltily said, “It must be because of what I said before. He wants to prove himself, so he went out to earn money…

Skadi was slightly stunned and asked, “What did you say to him?”

‘Nash asked me if I really liked money… He probably thinks I’m a materialistic woman!”

Hera propped her chin on her knees with a sigh.

Skadi immediately became unhappy upon hearing this. “Isn’t that obvious? Who doesn’t like money? Walter is worth tens of billion, and he’s still constantly making money. Why would he even ask such a stupid question…”

Hera continued, “He said he didn’t like money… and I asked him if not being able to earn money was his excuse…”

Skadi chuckled. “How did he respond to that?”

“He said earning money was easy, and his starting point could be 100 million. I asked him if he knew what 100 million even meant, and then he stopped talking. He must have been hurt by my words! I asked him to accompany me to Mr. Lee’s banquet and told him that the people who’d be in attendance were all influential figures. Getting to know a few of them would be beneficial. I guess he thinks I wanted him to curry favor with those rich people… That’s why he got angry and didn’t want to go to the banquet with us!”

When Hera mentioned these things, her mind was in turmoil.

She now regretted what she had said to Nash back then.

“I think what you said was fine. Although Nash is skilled, martial arts can’t put food on the table. Iron Kick George Yancy, Eight Trigram Palm Janson Gyane, and the others all submit to the wealth of the Watson family too! Besides, he’s a grown man, so why is he so petty?”

Skadi grew angrier as she spoke, “When we get out of here, I’ll definitely teach him a good lesson…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the heavy iron door was pushed open.

Crow walked into the room, unbuckling his belt as he did so. “Don’t even think about leaving. Let me enjoy myself first…”
