My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 493
The endless fear in David had made him numb to the pain of his
crushed fingers. Just as he said what he did, a cold feminine voice came from outside the door.
âDo you know that the Long Lake Industrial Zone has been sold to
me?â
Following the voice, Sydney and Queenie arrived with around 30
people. Among them, there were seven grandmasters and two great- grandmasters. They had just come from school and were still in their
school uniforms.
Davidâs pupils constricted sharply. He was one of the prominent figures in Jonford, so, of course, he recognized the sons and daughters of the cityâs top five wealthiest families.
Queenie was the heiress to the richest family, and Sydney was from
the Zell family. Then, there was Xeno from the Dragon Tiger Gate, and
of course, Nash.
Had he poked a hornetâs nest today?
âYouâre from the Black Tiger Hall, right?â Sydney said with great
authority. âTell your gang leader to come here.â
David shivered and stammered, âMs. Zell, we know we
were wron
âDonât you understand what I said?â
Sydneyâs eyebrows furrowed. David, with a pale face, quickly took out his phone and nervously dialed the Black Tiger Hallâs leaderâs number.
At that moment, the Black Tiger Hall leader was at a high-end club, surrounded by beautiful women. One was feeding him cherries mouth- to-mouth while another was cozying up to him in his arms.
He was smiling blissfully as he had recently made nearly a billion dollars through the Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers business. In the past few days, he had been indulging in a life of hedonism, both
day and night..
When the phone on the coffee table lit up and vibrated, he demanded someone to pass it to him. He then pushed the sultry woman out of his embrace. She noticed that it was David who was calling and said
in a seductive tone, âMr. Tiger, David is calling!â
The leader of the Black Tiger Hall was annoyed. âThis little bastard is
ruining my mood. Doesnât he know Iâm busy these days?â As he grumbled, he took the phone. In an indifferent tone, he said, âDavid, whatâs up?â
âM-Mr. Tiger, Ms. Zell is asking you to come to the Long Lake
Industrial Zone.â Davidâs trembling voice sounded from the other end
of the line.
âMs. Zell? Who?â Black Tiger spat out the cherry pit from his mouth,
looking puzzled.
âMr. Zellâs granddaughter!â David gulped. He did not dare refer to the
manâs name directly in Sydneyâs presence.
Black Tigerâs face turned serious. âGrant Zell?â
There was no one else in Jonford worthy of being called âMr. Zellâ the
way David just did. He just could not believe that the Zell family had
come looking for him.
âYes⦠Mr. Watsonâs granddaughter is here too!â David added to emphasize the gravity of the situation.
Black Tiger suddenly shot up to his feet. âWhat are they doing at the
industrial zone?â
Sydney snatched the phone from David and casually said, âMr. Tiger, how about you come over for a chat?â
Black Tiger broke into a cold sweat. âI⦠Iâll be right there.â
He was a man of loyalty. With his right-hand man detained, Black Tiger had no reason not to go.
In a corner of the room, a skinny old man with a goatee approached.
and asked, âBoss, is something wrong?â
Black Tiger was in a daze. âDavid has been detained by Sydney and Queenie. Itâs likely thereâs trouble afoot.â
The skinny old man frowned and asked, âSo what do you plan to do?â
Black Tiger paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. If he
brought his men with him, it would surely upset Sydney and Queenie.
He also did not know what had led to David offending these two young ladies.
However, should he go alone, what would he do if he were to be
detained as well?
The skinny old man seemed to sense Black Tigerâs concerns and said softly, âI suggest bringing everyone to rescue David forcefully.â
