My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 87
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.
âCrow⦠Those two women have woken up!â 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. âDid you touch them?â
The thin underling said with a pitiful tone, âThose two women are so beautiful. I couldnât resistâ¦â
âDamn it!â
Crow kicked his underlingâs chest, sending him flying three meters away.
âI havenât even touched them yet, and you dare to act first? Do you not respect me as your boss?â Crow scolded angrily.
âBoss, I⦠I was beaten before I could even touch themâ¦â the thin youth said, feeling wronged.
âWait until Iâm done enjoying myself, then Iâll hand them over to you. Tonight, weâll make sure they suffer!â
Crow snorted coldly, then walked into the elevator with the two hostesses. He pressed the button for the basementâs 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, âItâs all my fault, Skade. I shouldnât have invited you to go shopping!â
Skadi held Heraâs small hand and comforted her softly, âRara, donât overthink it. We were targeted by someone. Even if you hadnât invited me to go shopping, we wouldâve still ended up in this situation!â
Then, she blamed herself and said, âTruthfully, itâs all my fault. After encountering the assassin last time, I shouldâve been more vigilantâ¦â
Hera lowered her gaze and said, âIf only Nash were hereâ¦â
Skadi wrinkled her nose, grumbling, âThat guy doesnât care about you at all⦠He said heâd protect you, but now heâs gone somewhere else to fool around. Men are all the sameâ¦â
If Nash had accompanied Hera to the Leesâ 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, âIt must be because of what I said before. He wants to prove himself, so he went out to earn moneyâ¦
Skadi was slightly stunned and asked, âWhat did you say to him?â
âNash asked me if I really liked money⦠He probably thinks Iâm a materialistic woman!â
Hera propped her chin on her knees with a sigh.
Skadi immediately became unhappy upon hearing this. âIsnât that obvious? Who doesnât like money? Walter is worth tens of billion, and heâs still constantly making money. Why would he even ask such a stupid questionâ¦â
Hera continued, âHe said he didnât like money⦠and I asked him if not being able to earn money was his excuseâ¦â
Skadi chuckled. âHow did he respond to that?â
âHe 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. Leeâs banquet and told him that the people whoâd 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⦠Thatâs why he got angry and didnât want to go to the banquet with us!â
When Hera mentioned these things, her mind was in turmoil.
She now regretted what she had said to Nash back then.
âI think what you said was fine. Although Nash is skilled, martial arts canât 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, heâs a grown man, so why is he so petty?â
Skadi grew angrier as she spoke, âWhen we get out of here, Iâll definitely teach him a good lessonâ¦â
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. âDonât even think about leaving. Let me enjoy myself firstâ¦â
