Chapter 81 Give me an explanation

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more! These raw stones are all top-quality materials!" Brandenwiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Anton with an unpleasant expression.

"That's right, just a coincidence. You can never be sure with raw stones like these! Mr. Ellis, thisbatch of goods is definitely fine!" Kacper hurriedly defended himself.

He felt a hint of doubt from Anton' gaze earlier.

"Enough talk, Mr. Carney, you should pay up now. 1 million for a piece of worthless stone. You'retruly generous," Orion sneered.

He was on Lachlan's side now and had been holding back his anger towards the group who hadbeen mocking Lachlan earlier.

"Yeah, hurry up and pay! Who cares about this so-called master or this crappy stone? Kacper, areyou trying to scam my dad?" Betty rolled her eyes and asked.

"Nonsense! It's just a coincidence! Besides, if anyone has to pay, it'll be me to receive. What's yourhurry?" Kacper blushed and turned to Branden saying, "Mr. Carney I don't want your moneyanymore, let's continue gambling!"

"That's right. It's just good luck. Nothing special." Harlow added discontentedly.

Branden breathed a sigh of relief at their words, "Alright then."

As he spoke, he selected another rough stone that looked to be of excellent quality and pointed it atLachlan, asking, "Kid, do you dare to continue gambling?"

Lachlan shrugged. "I'll play along! But let's change the stakes a bit. If I win and you can't pay for thestone, I don't care if this guy has to cover your debt. But if I lose, you have to give me 1 milliondollar. Otherwise it's no fun."

"Exactly! If Mr. Willis loses and has to help you pay for the stone, then what's the point of losing?"Orion protested.

"Fine then. 1 million it is!" Branden nodded firmly.

He still had confidence in his own judgment and these stones. The previous failure was just anaccident.

After they agreed on the terms, both staffs placed their materials onto the cutting machine onceagain as its piercing sound echoed through the room.

Everyone watched with bated breaths as they waited for results.

However, when they lifted up the cut piece of rock again... it was still grayish-white with barely anygreen mist visible at all!

"It failed? Again?" Anton' face twitched as his heart skipped a beat.

This time around Kacper's expression became more doubtful than ever before as he stared back atAnton incredulously, "How could this be possible? Why did this happen?"

"Keep cutting! Cut from the middle!" Branden shouted, his voice hoarse and sweat pouring down hisface.

Had both of these high-quality raw stones really failed?

A few minutes later, when the stone was once again split in half from the middle, Branden stumbled.

His mentality was about to collapse!

Just like the previous one, there were only scattered green spots inside!

"Mr. Carney, let's transfer funds?" Lachlan said with a smile.

"What the hell!" Kacper's expression changed constantly.

Harlow glanced at Lachlan and wanted to say something but swallowed it back down. She justturned her head towards Kacper and asked softly, "Kacper, what's going on?"

"What?! What's going on? How would I know? Do you also think I'm trying to cheat Mr. Ellis? Theseraw stones were all dug out from Moclington's rich mine. Look at their quality! How could they all bewaste material? Impossible!"

Kacper was getting frustrated and yelled at Harlow, his face contorted in disbelief. "These twopieces were just accidents, definitely just accidents!" He then turned to Lachlan and said, "Keepgambling! I'll bet you 1 million on this one piece. If it doesn't work out, I won't believe it today!"

Kacper picked a rough stone about the size of a human head that had a hint of green when viewedfrom the outside.

"Okay! Let's continue," Lachlan said as he collected his winnings from Branden with a smile.

Who would refuse free money?

A few minutes later...

Everyone looked at the broken stone with different expressions!

Kacper's face was ashen, Branden was questioning life choices, and Harlow's expression was grim.

Betty and Orion exchanged glances and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Did Lachlan really get it right? Were all these stones worthless?

"Daddy, you're not Pigsy anymore. You're Sun Wukong with fiery eyes!" Nora giggled while clappingher hands.

Lachlan was speechless but still affectionately rubbed his daughter's nose. "I wasn't Pigsy to beginwith."

"You guys work hard and cut these stones, cut them from the middle!" At this moment, Anton gaveKacper a cold look and ordered the stone cutters.

Technically speaking, he hadn't paid yet. It wasn't appropriate to start cutting like this. But Antoncouldn't care less!

As long as they could get some good jade out of it, he would call it quits and prove that this batchwas not all waste.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

"Okay Mr. Ellis!" The satff agreed.

As one piece after another was cut in half, Anton's face became increasingly ugly.

All of them were ruined! Not a single piece could be opened completely!

After working for more than two hours straight, when the last piece of rough stone appeared beforeeveryone with a gray-white cut surface, there was silence all around.

Kacper collapsed on the ground with his face turning liver-colored while Harlow's expression wasalso very unpleasant as she kept shaking her head muttering to herself, "What's going on? How canthis happen?"

Branden was sweating profusely, looking guilty.

"Mr. Willis, you're amazing! How did you know these rough stones were going to collapse?" Oriongave Lachlan a thumbs up.

Betty added, "Thanks to you, Mr. Willis. Otherwise my dad would have been ripped off by theAtkinson family!"

Taking a deep breath, Anton looked at Lachlan gratefully and said, "Young man, thank you so much.I should have known better earlier. Please forgive me."

He then snorted coldly and glared at Branden and Kacper.

"Mr. Carney, I paid a high price for your appraisal services but now it seems like you want to teamup with others to rip me off? How much did Atkinson pay you?"

"And Mr. Atkinson," he continued sternly. "You owe me an explanation!"

The CEO of Ellis' Jewelry was filled with fear and anger as he felt like he had been played for a fool.If it weren't for Lachlan being here today, he would have spent 80 million on worthless rocks!

Although rough stones were inherently risky investments in the gemstone industry, this batch ofmaterial couldn't even produce one jade bangle - they all collapsed.

This wasn't just deception; it was outright fraud!

True enough that these rough stones appeared to be of excellent quality on the surface - someonemight even bid high prices if they were put up for auction or sale elsewhere - but if Anton sold themnow his reputation would be completely ruined.

No one would ever come back again to gamble on his rocks after this fiasco.

Other jade shops will also suffer a huge blow. If someone mentioned the Ellis' Jewelry, they willprobably spit out the words "scammer." The consequences were unimaginable!
