My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1260

Eight MPVS from Southern Heavens Pharmaceuticals were parked in front of the east gate of the Jonford Sports Arena. Yasmin, Derek, Sydney, and Queenie were all frowning, engaged in a dispute with a group of people.

“We signed the lease contract seven days ago, and tomorrow is our press conference. Now you’re telling me you want to back out?” Sydney pointed at the person in charge of the arena angrily.

The person in charge, Dick Ackles, replied indifferently, “Hondur Pharmaceuticals is the leading company in the pharmaceutical industry in Jonford. Other pharmaceutical companies are eager to delay their product releases for their sake.

“Where do you get the courage to hold your event on the same day as Hondur Pharmaceuticals?”

Queenie sneered, “We’ll hold our event whenever we want. Is that a concern of yours? What we need to solve now is the venue for our event!”

Dick chuckled. “Sorry, we’ve already rented the entire arena to Hondur Pharmaceuticals. If you want to hold your event, wait until the day after tomorrow!”

“To hell with the day after tomorrow!” Derek swung a punch. He had been simmering with anger for a long time. Now, seeing the person in charge being in the wrong yet being so arrogant, he instantly boiled over.

Dick was hit hard, blood streaming from his nose. He immediately shouted, “Assault! Assault! Where are the guards?”

More than 20 people rushed out of the arena. Dick pointed at Yasmin and the others, shouting, “Get them out of here now!”

The guards surrounded them, ready to take action.

Derek took up a defensive stance in front of the three.

“I’m Grant Zell’s granddaughter. I dare anyone to touch me!” Sydney shouted loudly. She originally wanted to distance herself from her grandfather’s influence, but now she had to bring up his name.

Queenie stood with her hands on her hips, chin raised high. “And I’m Walter Watson’s granddaughter!”

The guards exchanged glances. Grant and Walter were both titans in the Jonford business world.

“Hehe, Walter Watson and Grant Zell? Impressive, aren’t you?” Just then, a handsome man in a white suit strode over. Behind him were over 30 black–clad bodyguards.

“Mr. Hicks! You’re finally here,” Dick said deferentially as he approached the man, hand pressed to his nose with tissue. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yasmin had seen Eugene Hicks at a pharmaceutical industry conference two days ago. He was the CEO of Hondur Pharmaceuticals.

Eugene had his hands in his pockets and a disdainful expression on his face. “Go ahead and call your grandfathers. Let’s see if they dare raise their voices at me.”

“Fine, just you wait,” Sydney said, reaching for her phone.

Yasmin grabbed Sydney’s arm, whispering, “Hondur Pharmaceuticals is a chain company with over 30 branches nationwide. Their backing is probably much stronger than your grandfather’s!”

Sydney hesitated. “What should we do, then? We can’t let him act so arrogantly, can we?”

“Let’s wait for Hera to come over before we decide!” Yasmin replied.

Sydney could only nod reluctantly. Eugene looked Sydney and Queenie up and down, then glanced at Yasmin. Instantly, lust surged within him. While Southern Heavens

Pharmaceuticals might not be formidable, these three beauties were alluring in their own right.

“You want the venue for your press conference tomorrow, don’t you? Sleep with me tonight and I’ll give it to you,” Eugene said with a lecherous smile.

Sydney’s eyes showed disgust. “Go back and sleep with your mother!”

Eugene’s expression darkened. “If you won’t take the offer, you’ll take the punishment! Take them away!” His guards immediately closed in on them.

The bodyguards from the Zell and Watson families pulled out their batons and clashed with them. However, facing a larger and more skilled group composed of elite bodyguards hired at great expense, the Zell and Watson families‘ guards were quickly overpowered and subdued.

Derek was also pinned down by four or five burly men. Yasmin and her companions were surrounded, and their faces were drained of color.

Eugene approached them and lifted Sydney’s chin, chuckling. “I like this kind of tender young woman who’s just matured.”
