My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2246

"You, kid! Stand there!" The young ruffian walked toward Sterling.

Sterling stood there and looked at him. "Yes?"

The ruffian suddenly walked up to Sterling and pointed at his pocket. He said, "Did you hide something inside?"

Sterling was already a little annoyed, and now, he had encountered someone looking for trouble. He had to suppress his boiling anger.

"No."

The ruffian suddenly laughed. "If I said you did, that means you did! Do you know who I am? I’m the younger brother of Fletcher Davenport from Universal Group, Finnegan Davenport. You'd better remember my name."

Sterling almost laughed out loud with anger after hearing that. "I don't care who you are. I already told you that I didn't take anything. You have nothing on me."

Finnegan cursed and walked up to Sterling. "Hey, boy! You've never been beaten before, have you? How dare you talk to me like that?!"

Sterling's body was trembling continuously. He wanted to wipe that disgusting smug look off Finnegan’s face with some good old-fashioned punching.

On the flip side, Finnegan thought Sterling was afraid when he saw Sterling's trembling body. Hence, he pushed even further by stepping on Sterling's foot with his shiny leather shoes.

"Don't wet your pants, kid."

"What the heck do you want?" Sterling asked fiercely through gritted teeth.

Finnegan upped his arrogance and hissed. "It's very simple. You’ve stolen from me, so you'll either have to pay or get beaten."

"I didn't steal anything. What are you talking about?"

"You didn't steal anything? Stop making excuses, kid. Don't make me beat you up until you cry for your mommy before you admit it."

Sterling could no longer conceal his boiling anger. He was about to throw a punch, but his rational mind allowed him to restrain himself.

Then, a gloating smile suddenly appeared on Sterling's face.

Finnegan shuddered.

Finnegan covered his face as he wailed, "What are you doing, Fletcher?"

Obviously, Fletcher was angry. He looked at his brother in front of him with great indignation and hissed in a whisper, "Didn’t I tell you that there'll be inspections during this period?! Mr. Burnham has heard everything you just said!"

"How is this possible?!" Finnegan could not figure out why Puelo Burnham managed to hear him despite such a thick curtain and the fact that he did not yell.

At this point, Sterling could not help but laugh out loud. Then, he took out a cell phone from his back that was still connected. He hung up the call and returned it to Puelo.

"Thank you, Mr. Wickham," Mr. Burnham said.

"No problem. There's no need to call me that, Senior Puelo."

It turned out that Sterling and Puelo were martial brothers, and the reason why he came to this mall today was to launch an inspection.

Sterling was sent to investigate because too many employees had reported that the management here was lax.

Unexpectedly, Finnegan was caught red-handed.
