My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1261

Just as he leaned in for a kiss, Sydney started coughing and spat in his face.

Sydney had been wracked by coughs the past few days, coughing up phlegm at the slightest provocation. Under normal circumstances, she would never perform such a lowly act, but she could not care less now.

The phlegm smeared across Eugene’s mouth was utterly disgusting, prompting him to slap Sydney across the face before grimly wiping his mouth.

“Take them away... Once we’re at the hotel, I’ll make them pay.” Eugene seethed with uncontainable rage. The bodyguards moved in.

Just then, the sound of car horns pierced the air. Looking up, they saw an endless convoy of black sedans slowly approaching. There were more than 200 vehicles, each spaced about four to five meters apart.

They stretched over a kilometer just based on the gaps between them. Including the cars themselves, the convoy extended over two kilometers.

“It’s Hera!” Yasmin was thrilled. These cars belonged to Dragon Tiger Hall, and their leader only answered to Hera.

Eugene was stupefied. “Hera… Lewis?” His face turned pale as he looked at Yasmin, his voice trembling. “What's your relationship with her?”

Recently, headquarters had sent several emails cautioning them, the Jonford branch, against provoking Hera Lewis of Baroque.

Every time the patriarch convened a board meeting, he cautioned them repeatedly that should they encounter Hera, they were to take a detour.

With a slap mark still evident on her face, Sydney let out a cold sneer. "Southern Heavens Pharmaceutical belongs to Hera!"

Eugene's complexion turned ghostly pale as if he had been struck by thunder. As he surveyed his surroundings, he saw a sight to behold—a beautiful woman clad in an enchanting black long dress, her long hair flowing freely.

She was flanked by several imposing figures, making a grand entrance. The sight alone sent Eugene into a quivering mess, his legs shaking so violently he nearly fell to his knees.

Even the bodyguards behind him sensed the impending doom. The formidable Xeno Hun from Dragon Tiger Hall, backed by a cohort of 180 burly men, methodically encircled them.

Hera turned to look at Sydney. "You give him exactly what he gave you!"

Sydney's eyes flashed with a cold light as she stepped forward and delivered two resounding slaps to Eugene's face.

Seeing Hera display such strength as a pregnant woman, Sydney realized she could not afford to be weak. Otherwise, she would only be looking up to Hera in the future.

Eugene gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation. As his father often said, minor impatience could disrupt major plans. Hera's network already penetrated the governor's office. He could do nothing else but endure her.

After slapping him four times, Sydney’s small hand was red, so she finally stopped.

Looking down at Eugene, Hera's cold gaze locked onto him as she said, "Recently, Hondur Pharmaceuticals has targeted Southern Heavens Pharmaceutical more than once. Competition is normal when it comes to business.

"Had you used legitimate means to compete, I would've let it slide. However, you lot have tried to steal company secrets by capturing my research personnel, hired people to commit arson, and even attempted to poison food in our cafeteria... Is there anything you wouldn't do?"
