My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 359

She was extremely pleased with her accomplishments and felt like she was better than everyone else. Nothing fazed her, not even the fact that Nash was a platinum-level VIP in the Skye family’s business. She thought the Skye family was just doing him a favor.

Nash was nothing without the Skye family.

Yet, now, Weston was telling her that Nash was the head of surveillance of all Universal Group branches in the greater Drakonia area.

That position was so prestigious that one needed to gain the approval of all the executives and shareholders in Universal Group before they could assume that position. It was not a position that the Skye family could help him attain by pulling some strings.

Goodness gracious, Nash Calcraft!

How many more secrets did that man have?

“Miss… I don’t think you should tell Max about this. The contract you and Max signed stated the profits would be split 30/70, but he’s been going back on his word. He’s been taking in 50% of Cloud Peak Palace’s profits after seeing the increase in net profits. He’s bullying you!

“Besides, Max has used his work as an excuse to sleep with multiple female subordinates. He’s also embezzled and misappropriated public funds. No one ever kept an eye on him in the past, but he’ll have to pay for his actions sooner or later now that Drakonia has their own head of inspection!”

“How do you know everything in such detail?” Sydney asked, shocked.

“My friend’s wife works as a director of research and development in Universal Group. She’s one of Max’s victims!” Weston replied, an angry look flashing through his eyes.

“You guys must be really close if you share such details!”

Sydney had looked into Weston’s background beforehand. His wife had previously worked at Universal Group as a director of research and development.

Weston was telling her everything now in the hopes she would continue keeping Max in the dark, allowing him to do as he pleased in the company. That way, Nash would be the one to bring Max to his downfall.

“I… My friend and I grew up together, so he tells me everything!” Weston stammered.

“Alright. Max has been getting on my nerves lately too. I’ll try getting in touch with Nash. My future will be bright if he can help me!”

At the backyard of the Duersons’ residence, Sheldon’s corpse had been placed on a bonfire, and they were cremating him.

“Duncan… I never thought you were capable of such evil!” A disheveled-looking youngster dressed in plain clothes said quietly.

“You’re wrong, Mr. Kai. Sheldon sacrificed himself for the greater good. His death will ensure the continuation of the Duerson family’s bloodline!” Duncan replied as he pushed his glasses up his nose. He was dressed in mourning clothes, but there was not even a hint of sadness on his face.

“Is it because of Nash Calcraft?” Kai asked as he narrowed his eyes.

“No!”

“Whatever. I can’t be bothered asking any more questions. Repay the two billion dollars I loaned you. The creditors are harassing me so much that I’m at my wit’s end!”

Kai was not at the Duersons’ residence to attend the funeral.

He did not even have two pennies to rub together ever since his grandfather decided to punish him.

Now, the nightclubs that he owed money to were sending men out to collect money from him.

Helena had used up her entire family’s savings, and she had also taken out a 200 million dollar loan from the bank to help him pay off his debts. However, all that money only barely covered everything

he owed.

Now, Helena’s company was in dire need of 20 million dollars because they no longer had any financial capital.

“You’re a funny man, Mr. Kai. When did I ever owe you money?” Duncan asked, a smile on his face.

Kai’s eyebrows knitted themselves together, and he frowned while answering, “I forked out two billion dollars when Simon needed four billion dollars!”

“If my memory isn’t failing me, I recall you forced the money onto me. Isn’t that true, Mr. Kai?”

Duncan had a half-smile on his face. Now that he owned several dozen billion dollars worth of assets, he had risen up the ranks to become equals with Walter Watson. Kai was worth less than dog shit to him.

“You bastard… Ungrateful jerk!”

Kai slapped Duncan across the face.

Instead of flinching, Duncan allowed Kai to slap him.

He did not lose his temper and merely smiled as he adjusted his glasses. “You’ve yelled at me and slapped me as well. Are you ready to leave now?”

“Fine, forget about the two billion dollars!

“Remember how I used to fund your life of debauchery and how I sponsored you over 30 million dollars so you could gamble to your heart’s desire in Mandagor? I must’ve spent at least 50 million dollars on you.

“It wouldn’t hurt for you to repay a measly 20 million dollars, right?”

Kai was furious, but there was nothing he could do against Duncan.

He was no longer the rich heir who could call the shots.

“No, no, it wouldn’t hurt. Back then, I was the one kissing up to you so you’d be pleased with me and give me an allowance! Now… It’s my turn to experience being the one calling the shots!

“Let me think… If you kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, I’ll give you a million dollars for every bark!”
