My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 1024

Finn immediately went to speak to the chief laborer upon hearing

that. “Have everyone take a paid day off today, Woods. Come back

tomorrow!”

Since Finn had been helping out at the Long Lake Industrial Zone the past few days,

Sydney had given Finn the right to make the final call when it came to decisions regarding

the construction site.

Hence, the workers here all knew who he was.

Woods was overjoyed to hear it would be a paid day off. He immediately nodded and said,

“Thank you, Mr. Carter!”

Then, he bellowed to the rest that they would be taking a paid day off

Finn then asked, “Are the tiny stones from yesterday still here?”

Finn initially had no idea these stones could be used for cultivatio purposes and hence had

only brought a few pieces home.

He had spent most of yesterday celebrating Yoyo’s birthday and had only found out later

that evening that the stones could be used for

cultivation purposes.

Today, he excitedly shared that news with Nash.

Woods’ eyes darted about in thought before he smiled and said, “Yes, they are. But the

kids of the construction workers seem to have taken

a liking to them!”

The stones they excavated yesterday seemed special.

Finn took some away with him yesterday, and he returned today to ask about them again.

That meant there was something special

about those stones.

It would not be too much to ask for some payment in exchange for

those stones, right?

“I want all of the stones. I’ll pay a thousand dollars for each one!”

Nash strode over.

Woods was stunned. “Who is this?”

Finn introduced him, “This is Nash Calcraft. He’s the founder of

Southern Heavens Pharmaceuticals!”

Woods drew in a sharp intake of breath.

Southern Heavens Pharmaceuticals was a project that both Sydney

and Queenie were prioritizing. Rumor had it that several million

dollars had been spent on that project alone.

He had thought that company belonged to either the Zell or the Watson families. Never

did he imagine that the man standing before

him was the person behind everything.

However, why was he purchasing these odd little stones at such a

high price?

“Greetings, Mr. Calcraft. These tiny stones aren’t worth that price. If you’re interested, I’ll

make sure you get them-even if it means I’ll

have to rip them from the children’s hands!”

Woods glanced at Nash carefully as he spoke.

Nash did not detect any ulterior motives and merely said calmly, “800

for each!”

A startled expression appeared on Woods’ face.

He should be increasing the price. Why was he decreasing it instead?

Finn grabbed Woods by the collar and said frostily, “Who do you think you are? Everything

that’s excavated from the Long Lake Industrial Zone rightfully belongs to us.

“Nash is only paying you because he knows how hard the workers work. Did you really

think we’d be that easy to fool?”

Woods gulped. “I’m not an idiot either, Mr. Carter. I’m sure these stones aren’t worth that

price. Who knows, I might be able to get an even better price if I have them appraised by

an external party!”

Wealth belonged to those who were willing to take risks.

After working the past dozen years as a chief laborer, he had witnessed plenty of similar

incidents

A murderous look appeared in Finn’s eyes as he lifted Woods right the ground. “Do you

have a death wish…”

Woods’ eyes widened when he realized how strong Finn was.

“Finn…”

Nash glanced at Finn.

Finn huffed before throwing Woods back onto the ground,

Nash smiled coolly. “1,200 dollars. This is your last chance!”

All businessmen, were evil.

It was only natural that the chief laborer raised his prices without a

moment’s hesitation.

Nash was worried that someone else would recognize the stones for what they were if he

took them elsewhere.

If that happened, the entire Long Lake Industrial Zone would no

longer know peace.

Spiritual stones was a priceless treasure in today’s times.

If they were put up for auction, the Mystique Loyalty Realm experts

would no doubt fight over them like crazy.

1,200 dollars would mean nothing then because those experts would

not hesitate to pay even a million.

Woods’ back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. He knew he could

not try to pull any more tricks.

A fawning smile appeared on his face as he said, “1,200 dollars i

then. I’ll get all the rocks to you immediately!”

When he finished his sentence, he immediately hurried toward an unmanned factory in

the industrial zone.

Finn said in a lowered voice, “Nash, we can’t let people like him do as they please!”

He knew how valuable spiritual stones were.

However, they were nothing more than ordinary stones when in the hands of ordinary

people like him.

One thousand dollars was equivalent to several days’ worth of pay to

them.

Nash smiled indifferently. “Why cause more issues when this can be settled using money?”

About ten minutes later, Woods hurried over with a shopping bag in

his hands.

“36 stones!”

“That will be 43,200 dollars!”

Woods grinned as he spoke to Nash

Finn took his phone out and transferred the money over.

Once the transaction was complete, Woods handed the shopping bag

to Nash.
