My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534 

Grant’s anger flared. He had given her a way out, yet she dared to disregard his old schoolmate. He was furious. 

Dylan chided Grant, saying, “Don’t be so hard on children. Why argue with a child, old friend?” 

He then turned to Sydney with a smile and said, “Sydney, you can talk to your grandfather first. I’ll go sit down and have a drink.” 

Fred quickly made a welcoming gesture and said, “Mr. Murphy, please 

come this way. Tea is ready!” 

Dylan sat down by the coffee table, picked up the teacup, and took at sip before saying, “This is a 20-year-old oolong tea!” 

Fred praised, “I didn’t expect you to be able to discern the age of teal leaves. You’re quite knowledgeable! 

Dylan smiled warmly. “I don’t have many hobbies, but I do enjoy a 

little tea.” 

Fred quickly responded, “That’s fortunate. A few days ago, a supplier 

brought me a box of good tea. We don’t have many tea enthusiasts in 

our family, so if you don’t mind, take it with you and enjoy it at your 

leisure.” 

On the other hand, Grant had walked up to Sydney and demanded 

blankly, “Spill. Do you need money again?” 

Sydney shook her head. “I don’t need money this time. I… I want the Antarctic Lotus!” she said, her face tense as she waited with bated 

breath for her grandfather’s reaction 

“What do you need it for?” Grant asked coldly. 

Seeing that her grandfather did not blow a fuse, Sydney grabbed his hand, shook it, and continued like a child asking for candy, “Is it okay? I need it for something!” 

Grant replied coolly, “You should know how important the Antarctic Lotus is to me.” It was the only keepsake left by his late wife, and he would look at it every night before going to bed. 

Sydney knew he would not give it away easily. Thus, she revealed the whole thing, but she did not mention Nash’s intention to visit. 

“Nash Calcraft?” Grant’s eyebrows furrowed when he heard that Nash wanted the Antarctic Lotus. Recalling his connection with Brian, the man sneered and said, “That old bastard Brian must have told him!” 

Sydney looked at her grandfather with unwavering determination. Nash is like the sun in Jonford. His favor is not something just anyone can easily obtain.” 

Grant waved off further discussion from Sydney. “You don’t need to say more. I’ll never give away the lotus.” 

Anxious, Sydney implored her grandfather, “Grandfather, Nash is a 

renowned Gold Amulet Master and a sworn brother of the warden of 

the Northern Territory. You-” 

“Quiet!” Grant’s eyes were red with anger. “The Antarctic Lotus is my bottom line. Even if the warden himself were to come, I wouldn’t give it away!” 

At her grandfather’s fury, Sydney was too frightened to speak any 

further. She had considered stealing the lotus, but that would likely result in her being cast out by her grandfather. She could end up like 

Kai! 

With no other option, she reluctantly conveyed Nash’s other message.
