Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Ostracized by Both Sides

Noah frowned, feeling a momentary discomfort in his heart.

Audrey, who was not familiar with the ways of the world, had always been a well-behaved girl since she was young.

However, it was precisely this kind of girl who was more likely to meet the wrong person.

He took a deep breath, feeling a headache. After staying alone for a while, he drove back.

......

Outside the private club in Emberfall, Eric had been waiting for seven consecutive days.

He came every day, begging to see Christopher. From seven in the morning to eight in the evening, even if he talked until his mouth was dry, the bodyguards outside remained expressionless.

Christopher was annoyed as soon as he heard Eric's name, let alone meet Eric.

Just when Eric was about to despair, the butler came out and announced, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Zander invites you in."

Eric's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed in quickly.

In the empty space behind the club, there was a huge iron cage. Before Eric could get close, he could smell a rotten and foul odor in the air.

He was slightly surprised but bit the bullet and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, he saw that there were two vultures being kept in the iron cage!

Zander played with a string of amber beads. When he turned his head to look at Eric, the deep and sinister gaze in his eyes made Eric's heart tremble.

"Mr. Zander..." Eric forced a smile.

The vultures flapped their wings abruptly, making a hoarse and unpleasant sound.

Eric's face turned pale with fright. He stood still and dared not move forward.

A strange smile appeared on Zander's face. He glanced at Eric and coldly said, "I heard that you've been standing outside for several days."

"Humph, these people really don't know how to treat guests! They should at least bring you in to see my precious babies!"

As he spoke, he put on his gloves and took out two pieces of rotten meat from a basket beside him, throwing them into the cage. The vultures flapped their wings and landed on the ground to peck at the food.

Eric felt a chill down his spine. He knew that wealthy people liked all kinds of exotic pets, such as lions, tigers, pythons, and leopards.

But he never expected that Zander would like to keep these creatures that specifically fed on rotten meat!

"Mr. Smith." Zander finished feeding the vultures, turned around, and stared at Eric with a faint smile. "If you have something to say, just say it. Although my father is not here, I can listen to you attentively!"

"No, Mr. Zander, you flatter me," Eric said nervously.

There was no turning back at this point, so he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Actually... My company has been facing a liquidity problem recently. There is a sixty-million-dollar funding gap. It has always been Mr. Christopher Martinez who supported my company, but for some reason, the funds haven't arrived for the past two months..."

"Oh!" Zander dragged his voice. "So, are you here for money?"

Eric lowered his head humbly, his heart pounding.

"Sixty million dollars..." Zander clapped his hands and looked at Eric with a strange gaze. He suddenly sneered.

"Mr. Smith, although my father supports your company, you can't treat us as an ATM, can you?"

"Well... I'm really at a loss. Mr. Zander, if I can't fill the sixty-million-dollar funding gap, the company will face bankruptcy, and..."

"If you want money, why don't you use something as collateral?"

Eric was stunned.

Immediately after, Zander lowered his voice, a cold smirk appearing at the corner of his lips.

"Mr. Smith, how much do you think your body can be mortgaged for? These two treasures of mine haven't tasted human flesh yet!"

Eric widened his eyes in panic. His legs went weak and he sat on the ground.

Zander burst into laughter.
