My Substitute CEO Bride -

Chapter 379
“Go to the Mare family in Capiton and see how the old man is doing.”
“Okay, I’ll go there early tomorrow morning.”
“Don’t wait until tomorrow. Go now!”
“Alright, Master Uncle!”
Brian was having tea with Zakariah but immediately realized the gravity of the situation when he heard Nash’s tone. He hung up the phone and promptly booked a flight.
In the evening, Nash, along with Xeno, Melody, and Finn, were sitting in the living room for a meeting.
“Raiding tombs in Xanthalos?” Melody stared at Nash in shock like she was looking at a monster. Then, as if realizing something, she asked with amazement, “You guys found people from the Tomb Seekers Hall?”
Xeno grinned. “We did. We found them. We even found out about this huge tomb. But, Mr.
Nash, why did you ask Bradley to get Yoseph to invite the national archaeological team as well?

“That was just to deceive Margaret.”
“You’re planning to take Derek there too?”
“Is that no good?” Nash asked in response.
“What can that idiot do there?” Xeno shrugged.
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Nash teased, and Xeno pressed no further.
Melody glanced at Finn, who still had bandages on his body. She said, “Maybe Finn should stay behind. He’ll just be a burden in his condition.”
Finn immediately shot to his feet from the sofa when he heard that. “What’s wrong with me? Am I not fine now?”
The medicine Nash prescribed was quite miraculous considering how he had almost recovered after taking it about two to three times.
Back at Margaret’s house, Yasmin’s leg was bandaged up, and she was currently chatting with her mother on the bed.
“The Young family is very generous to give away five million just like that. My daughter will also be the CEO of the company in the future. Our hard days will be behind us!” Margaret said, unable to stop smiling.
“That’s Mr. Calcraft’s company. I won’t take a single cent of his money. It’s enough that he’s given me the chance to practice.’

“What nonsense are you saying, child? That tattered map is definitely the Young family’s treasure map. Do you know how much wealth the Young family had during their peak?” Margaret boomed.
“500 metric tons of silver! I might not have been able to go to school, but even I know how
much that’s worth. And that’s just a drop in the bucket for them!
Margaret looked unhappy as she continued, “Your grandfather worked hard his entire life serving the Young family. He might not have achieved much, but he certainly put in a lot of effort. When he came back to see me, however, he had nothing to show for it. This money is. just compensation from the Young family.”
“Why do you think my great-grandfather had so much money? Why do you think he wanted to distance himself from Grandpa?” Yasmin pouted and asked.
“Well..” Margaret lowered her head. She had grown up with her uncle, and her father used to send money back every year. Her grandfather had all that money, but he was never kind to her.
He even claimed that her father only sent a few hundred dollars. However, back in those days, a hundred dollars was equivalent to several months worth of salary for an ordinary person.
It was not until her father returned and got into an argument with her uncle, even severing their relationship, that she learned he had been sending back his earnings which were over 8,000 dollars a month.
Her eldest uncle was currently a prominent and wealthy figure in Capiton while Yasmin and her children could only live in a slum. The Young family had not disappointed her family in
any way.
“As long as I work hard, Mr. Calcraft won’t mistreat me. I’ll be able to earn a monthly salary of millions one day. Moreover, the company is a pharmaceutical company, just like my uncle’s.” Yasmin’s expression turned cold, her eyes narrowing when she thought this.
“You have the final say. Go and do your best, then. I support you,” Margaret said with a bitter smile while shaking her head.
“Yasmin, Mom, you guys should rest early. I’ll go help out at Nico’s place!” Derek’s voice came from the living room outside.
Derek went to Bradley’s house. Dacus was busy tending to a group of people. Derek was about to help when Nico, dressed in mourning attire, suddenly pulled him aside.
“Derek, my grandfather is planning to go to Xanthalos. Will you come with us?”
