Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)
Chapter 149 Ostracized by Both Sides

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.

"Fun, it's really fun!"

"Eric, do you f*cking think my dad is a fool?" Zander's expression suddenly turned fierce.

The bodyguards around him drew their guns and pointed them at Eric's head. Eric cried out in pain and knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing for mercy. "You b*stard, don't think I don't know what you did in Eldoria!"

"You joined forces with Oliver, didn't you? Why are you pretending to be a lapdog in front of my Martinez family?"

"No, no! Mr. Zander, please believe me. I was forced by Mr. Wilson at that time..."

"Then go ask him for money!"

Eric's expression was filled with agony, and large beads of sweat rolled down his temples.

He had wanted to ask Oliver for help, but Oliver simply ignored him.

So he had no choice but to come to Christopher.

Unexpectedly, Christopher had known that he was captured by Oliver

and even worked for Oliver, so Christopher became suspicious of him and cut off the funding for his company.

The bank was pressuring him every day, and they had even filed a lawsuit. Eric wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Zander snorted coldly and picked up a piece of rotten meat, fiercely throwing it at Eric's face!

Eric endured the nauseating smell and struggled to get up from the ground, gritting his teeth.

He had never thought of joining Oliver, nor had he ever thought of being loyal to Christopher.

He was just a small pawn, surviving in between, only wanting to gain some benefits from that company for himself.

But now, he couldn't even survive.

Eric bit his lip hard. Since he was already ostracized by both sides, he might as well reveal all the secrets!

"Mr. Zander!" He said word by word, "Oliver came to me for a reason..."

"Humph, a reason?" Zander looked askance at him. "Do you have any value that he can exploit?"

"Yes..." Eric looked at him, trembling all over. "Because I know where Mr. Noah Martinez is. Master Noah is not in Bramore but in Eldoria!"

"I already told Mr. Christopher Martinez about this, but he didn't take it seriously!"

Zander was stunned and then narrowed his eyes.

"After the plane crash, Noah has been recuperating in Eldoria. I don't know why he took on Liam's identity and even got married..."

"Are you telling the truth?" Zander suddenly grabbed his collar. "If you dare to say a single false word, I'll throw you into the cage immediately!"

"It's all true, I swear!" Eric's legs were trembling "I have personally seen that woman wearing an emerald ring on her hand, and the totem on the ring is a unique symbol of the Martinez family. I can't be mistaken!"

"So did Noah really get married?" Zander felt that such good news was a pie in the sky.

"Ha-ha... Did he dare to defy Grandpa's will and casually marry a woman?"

"Well... We should investigate that." Eric said in a low voice, "After all, he is using Liam's identity!"

"That shouldn't be difficult." Zander

rubbed his chin, pondered for a

moment, and instructed his

subordinates, "Immediately contact

Mr. Hart and ask him to come to Emberfall as soon as possible!"

"Mr. Zander." Eric sneered. "Are you referring to Jericho?"

"What's wrong? Do you know him?"

"He betrayed you long ago, but do you still treat him like your own?"

Zander looked at him incredulously.

Eric swallowed and continued, "I have been in Eldoria all this time, so I saw it very clearly."

"Jericho has long been in cahoots with Noah. They are a team!"
