Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 543 – Illusion

Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Illusion

Unexpectedly, this problem occurred.

Even though the camera wasn’t focused on Cindy at the moment, Adrian could imagine how no one would dare to do such a thing to a young girl.

Besides, he saw her reaction before the camera switched.

At that time, she was already very nervous.

However, she had to endure it.

And, she had no choice but to do it.

The more Adrian couldn’t see her, the more worried he was about Cindy.

He knew that Cindy would never give up under any circumstances.

That girl, even if crying her eyes out, would persist.

But not being able to see her, Adrian couldn’t feel at ease in any way.

Even if he couldn’t intervene in the competition, being by Cindy’s side would be good enough.

“Yes, you should go.” Old Madam thought of it too and nodded, “But be careful not to be caught on camera. Otherwise, Cindy will definitely be questioned.”

Adrian nodded and left.

He happened to pass by Billy Houston and other higher-ups from the Racecourse.

Seeing Adrian coming, Billy Houston and others hurriedly stood up.

“CEO.” Billy Houston immediately called out.

“Find someone to take me in.” Adrian said.

Billy Houston was surprised: “Into the racecourse?”

“What else?” Thinking of Cindy’s situation inside, he lost patience, his face darker and colder.

“But the competition is ongoing…” Billy Houston hesitated.

“Don’t I know that?” Adrian spoke coldly. “Anyway, now the live broadcast is focused on other contestants, and I just need not to be caught on camera.”

“I haven’t even held you accountable yet. Even if you arrange outdoor cooking, what’s the point of making a young girl slaughter chickens and cows?” Adrian said unhappily.

“I won’t mention other families, but just among the restaurants under the Flag of Pingla, find me one where the chefs personally slaughter these chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. I’ll give you the restaurant if you can!” Adrian was furious.

Billy Houston shuddered while wishing he could find one to prove it.

But obviously, it was impossible.

“This… this…” Billy Houston turned to look for Manager Zhu, “How did you plan this?!”

Manager Zhu didn’t want to bear all the responsibility: “The plan was also approved by you, President Houston, after you looked it over and signed it.”

Don’t think about placing all the blame on him!

Manager Zhu wasn’t afraid of offending Billy Houston.

Because he indeed had the ability.

Normally, there were quite a few confrontations between him and Billy Houston.

Although the two often had disputes, their relationship was pretty good.

And Billy Houston was broad-minded, not caring too much about being disputed now and then.

Billy Houston couldn’t help looking at Adrian, his eyes implying that

Adrian had also signed the plan.

Billy Houston hinted at it with his eyes, but didn’t dare to say it directly.

Then hesitantly said: “Besides, we couldn’t have prepared everything for them in this outdoor cooking.”

“Is the budget allocated by the Company not enough? Or do you think Pingla can’t allocate more funds? Come for the budget if it’s not enough! Can’t you build a small artificial lake and raise some fish, shrimp, and crabs for them to catch?” Adrian was angry enough.

Billy Houston: “…”

“What are you waiting for!” Adrian said, “Lead the way!”

“Yes! Yes!” Billy Houston didn’t dare to say more and hurriedly led the way.

Moreover, he felt that he couldn’t bear the pressure from the scumbag CEO alone.

So he called all the higher-ups who were present today to leave together.

Everyone: “…”

Who did they provoke?

Originally, because the scumbag CEO’s girlfriend, Cindy, was here, it would be inappropriate for them not to come.

At times like these, standing out was not an option.

So, they all came.

Some of them were watching the competition on site for the first time today.

Who knew that the first time coming would encounter this situation? How unlucky!

So, they left with a grandiose appearance, escorting Adrian.

The VIP seats were suddenly quite empty.

In the end, only the higher-ups from Pingla’s head office, the four elders of the Zhekova Family, and little Morgan remained.

Adrian was worried that the scene of the chicken slaughter would be too bloody, so he didn’t take Morgan with him.

The high-level executives of Pingla really wanted to follow and join the excitement.

Unfortunately, seeing the scumbag CEO so angry,

they didn’t dare to provoke him at this moment.

On the way, Adrian said solemnly: “I won’t hold you accountable for this. I also signed the plan, so it’s my negligence for not considering this aspect. So, you can’t blame all the responsibility on yourselves.”

Billy Houston chuckled secretly.

This was also why, despite the scumbag CEO’s temper being so unpredictable, they were still willing to work under him.

Although Adrian had a short temper, he took responsibility for his faults and didn’t deny them.

Whoever made the mistake, held the responsibility.

Working under him, they never had to worry about taking the blame for him.

This kind of responsibility made them trust him even more.

For the sake of easy evacuation, in case of any emergency, they could be guided away as quickly as possible.

So, multiple entrances were set up in the simulated jungle.

Adrian and his party arrived at the entrance closest to Cindy.

After entering, Adrian strode towards Cindy’s direction.

Inside every contestant’s bag, a GPS tracker was hidden in the seams.

Manager Zhu got the device.

Following the display on the GPS, they quickly located Cindy.

When Adrian arrived, he saw Cindy’s face pale, and she was trying hard to hold back her tears.

“Cindy!” Adrian called.

However, Cindy’s gaze stayed fixed on the ground not far from her feet.

As if she hadn’t heard his call at all.

“Cindy!” Adrian called out louder.

Finally, he brought Cindy back to her senses.

Cindy looked over at the sound.

Seeing Adrian unexpectedly appearing in front of her, Cindy was dumbfounded.

She closed her eyes for a while before opening them again, and Adrian was still there.

Cindy thought to herself if she was hallucinating so vividly because she was highly stressed.

She raised her fist and slammed it down hard on her head.

She didn’t hold back at all. Adrian even heard a “bang” sound.

Adrian never expected that Cindy would suddenly do this to herself.

He had no time to prepare, and it was too late to stop her.

Quickly rushing over in a few steps, he grabbed her fist, “What are you doing?”

Cindy then realized Adrian had really come.

“Why are you here?” Cindy was amazed, “I’m in the middle of the competition.”

“Worried about you.” Adrian simply said these three words.

He could still feel Cindy trembling.

“How are you? Are you okay?” Adrian asked.

Cindy nodded, not calm at all, “I’m fine.”

But Adrian could tell she was far from fine.

He looked in the direction where Cindy had been staring.
