My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 421

As soon as he was done speaking, the sound of Derek and Nico arguing echoed from the golden tunnel.

“Darn it, Nico! I found it first!”

“Bullshit! I clearly saw it first!”

The two were arguing over a diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg.

Diamonds varied in quality, with the colored ones being the highest quality.

Such a sizable colored diamond could fetch tens of millions of dollars in the market.

While they were cutting through the gold, both spotted the diamond at the same time.

Following the ‘first come, first served’ principle, they both reached for it.

Now, neither was willing to back down.

Derek, being physically stronger, pinned Nico to the ground and shouted, “Nico, your family is already wealthy… Give this diamond to me!”

With his face pressed to the ground, Nico mumbled, “No… This diamond is mine…”

With a determined look, Derek grabbed a nearby pearl of night and hurled it toward Nico’s head.

“Stop…!”

Melody arrived just in time, delivering a kick that knocked Derek to the ground.

Heidi burst into tears from fear. “Derek! Nico! What are you two doing?!”

Upon falling, Derek did not give up. He quickly grabbed the diamond, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

“You mother…”

With a crazy look in his eyes, Nico impulsively stabbed Derek with the dagger in his hand.

They were so close that Melody had no chance to intervene.

Derek stared dumbfoundedly at the knife handle protruding from his chest.

Regaining his senses, a panic-stricken Nico released his grip. “D-Derek...I didn’t mean to!”

With a thud, Derek fell straight to the ground.

Blood stained the jewel-embedded floor.
