My ex husband wants me back (Daven and Althea) novel Chapter 759

Chapter 759

Several senior leaders of the Chen family sat around the large table with grim expressions. They had personally escorted Naomi back tonight, and now they were forced to discuss the chaos that had just unfolded. The incident inside the meeting hall had shaken everyone involved.

Ashtrays overflowing with cigarette butts and cups of tea gone cold cluttered the old wooden table. The scent of smoke mixed with rain hung heavily in the air, creating an oppressive atmosphere that felt suffocating.

“This wasn’t a coincidence,” one of the older men finally spoke. “They waited for the moment when the entire Chen family gathered together.”

“Their objective was obvious,” another man added coldly. “They intended to kidnap the young Miss Chen.”

“And after that?” someone let out a humorless laugh. “The Chen family would’ve fallen into chaos all over again.”

The room immediately fell silent for a moment.

“Bastards!” one of the faction leaders snapped as he slammed his fist against the table. “We can’t let this happen!”

No one there had forgotten how the Chen family had nearly collapsed years ago because of a bloody power struggle. Many old enemies still wanted to see their downfall even now.

“They’ve probably been targeting Naomi for a long time already,” another leader said, narrowing his eyes. “Her reappearance has made a lot of people uneasy.”

Several gazes slowly shifted toward Cale, who stood silently near the room’s large window.

A white bandage was still wrapped around his arm, though faint stains of blood remained visible beneath his black shirt. Even injured, the man stood straight without showing even the slightest trace of weakness.

“Security tonight was already extremely tight,” Liu said coldly from the side of the room. “They came fully prepared.”

“And that’s exactly the problem.” One of the older men tapped the table slowly. “If they managed to get in that far, then it means they know where our weaknesses are.”

“And now we don’t even have a single person left to interrogate.”

That sentence instantly changed the atmosphere in the room. Sharp gazes slowly shifted toward Cale.

One middle-aged man leaned back in his chair before speaking in a calm but cutting tone. “I heard every one of those intruders was beaten half to death.”

Liu’s jaw tightened immediately.

The man continued, “Wasn’t that a little too reckless of a decision, Master Kai?”

No one interrupted him right away.

“If at least one of them had been left alive, we could’ve learned who was truly behind this.”

“Exactly,” another person agreed. “Now we don’t even have a lead.”

The pressure in their stares toward Cale grew heavier. But the man remained silent. For several long seconds, only the sound of rain outside filled the room. Then finally, Cale spoke. “They touched Naomi.”

The short answer made several people exchange glances. Cale’s gaze slowly turned far colder.

“And people like that don’t deserve to stay alive.”

His tone remained flat. Not loud. Not emotional. Yet somehow, that made the atmosphere even more terrifying. Several people immediately fell silent. They all knew what Cale became whenever someone touched something he considered his

responsibility… or his own.

And tonight, Naomi had almost been taken right in front of him. But one of the older leaders still looked unconvinced.

“Personal emotions should not influence your decisions as the Black Dragon Chairman.”

Liu immediately stepped forward slightly.

“Watch your words.”

“I’m only stating facts.” The older man met his gaze sharply. “We’re discussing the safety of the Chen family, not Master Kai’s personal affairs.”

The tension inside the room instantly sharpened.

And just as the atmosphere seemed moments away from exploding, the sound of a wooden cane suddenly echoed from the doorway.

Tok.

Tok.

Tok

Everyone turned toward the door at once. The door slowly opened.

Zhao Hua entered with slow but commanding steps. His gaze swept across the room before finally stopping directly on Cale.

No one dared speak first.

Even several of the senior Chen family leaders immediately straightened in their seats the moment Zhao Hua appeared.
