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 familyâs 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?
âMiss⦠I donât think you should tell Max about this. The contract you and Max signed stated the profits would be split 30/70, but heâs been going back on his word. Heâs been taking in 50% of Cloud Peak Palaceâs profits after seeing the increase in net profits. Heâs bullying you!
âBesides, Max has used his work as an excuse to sleep with multiple female subordinates. Heâs also embezzled and misappropriated public funds. No one ever kept an eye on him in the past, but heâll have to pay for his actions sooner or later now that Drakonia has their own head of inspection!â
âHow do you know everything in such detail?â Sydney asked, shocked.
âMy friendâs wife works as a director of research and development in Universal Group. Sheâs one of Maxâs victims!â Weston replied, an angry look flashing through his eyes.
âYou guys must be really close if you share such details!â
Sydney had looked into Westonâs 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.
âI⦠My friend and I grew up together, so he tells me everything!â Weston stammered.
âAlright. Max has been getting on my nerves lately too. Iâll try getting in touch with Nash. My future will be bright if he can help me!â
At the backyard of the Duersonsâ residence, Sheldonâs corpse had been placed on a bonfire, and they were cremating him.
âDuncan⦠I never thought you were capable of such evil!â A disheveled-looking youngster dressed in plain clothes said quietly.
âYouâre wrong, Mr. Kai. Sheldon sacrificed himself for the greater good. His death will ensure the continuation of the Duerson familyâs bloodline!â 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.
âIs it because of Nash Calcraft?â Kai asked as he narrowed his eyes.
âNo!â
âWhatever. I canât be bothered asking any more questions. Repay the two billion dollars I loaned you. The creditors are harassing me so much that Iâm at my witâs end!â
Kai was not at the Duersonsâ 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 familyâs 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, Helenaâs company was in dire need of 20 million dollars because they no longer had any financial capital.
âYouâre a funny man, Mr. Kai. When did I ever owe you money?â Duncan asked, a smile on his face.
Kaiâs eyebrows knitted themselves together, and he frowned while answering, âI forked out two billion dollars when Simon needed four billion dollars!â
âIf my memory isnât failing me, I recall you forced the money onto me. Isnât that true, Mr. Kai?â
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.
âYou bastard⦠Ungrateful jerk!â
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. âYouâve yelled at me and slapped me as well. Are you ready to leave now?â
âFine, forget about the two billion dollars!
âRemember how I used to fund your life of debauchery and how I sponsored you over 30 million dollars so you could gamble to your heartâs desire in Mandagor? I mustâve spent at least 50 million dollars on you.
âIt wouldnât hurt for you to repay a measly 20 million dollars, right?â
Kai was furious, but there was nothing he could do against Duncan.
He was no longer the rich heir who could call the shots.
âNo, no, it wouldnât hurt. Back then, I was the one kissing up to you so youâd be pleased with me and give me an allowance! Now⦠Itâs my turn to experience being the one calling the shots!
âLet me think⦠If you kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, Iâll give you a million dollars for every bark!â
