Chapter 191 Nathan’s Plot Exposed

Next, he tapped on his WhatsApp app and played a voice clip. He put the audio on speaker so that everyone could hear Nathan’s wretched voice, “Mr. Hunt, thank you for going through all this trouble. Waine and Ruby are commoners, so they’re incapable of recognizing that this is a reproduced antique. They’re both materialistic, money-mad snobs who’ll break into tears of gratitude the moment they unwrap my gift, hahaha…”When the voice clip had played, the atmosphere changed once again. Waine and Ruby were staring at him in cold disgust.“Nathan, I had no idea that you were that type of person!” scorned Waine through clenched teeth. Nathan was white as a sheet. He wanted to bury himself into the ground so badly now because it was just f*ck*ng embarrassing!Ruby chided, “Nathan, I’m terribly disappointed in you!”Faye insisted, “You can have all the gifts back. We don’t deserve it!”“Fifi…” Nathan regretted it greatly. He looked at Faye with pleading eyes. It was unfortunate that sh

Chapter 192 It’s A Bet

Zayn was startled when he noticed how confused Xavier was. There was no way Xavier could recognize him, was there?If his cover was blown, his plan would be ruined. Frankly, Zayn was not planning on reuniting with the Larsons now, nor did he want Faye to learn that he was a Larson. It was fortunate that Xavier was close to him, so close in fact that the doubt in his gaze dispersed soon after. Aggrieved, Nathan burst out laughing when he heard Zayn’s remark. “Haha! Do you know how much the Magpie’s Treasure Nest is worth? How dare you make such a reckless remark?”He had a hunch that Zayn was not bragging, but more so acting like a fool. Zayn had the audacity to make such an absurd boast. Nathan had actually looked into Zayn’s identity and found that he was just a poor deadbeat who was from the countryside. A pauper like Zayn could not even afford to own a modern clock, let alone the Magpie’s Treasure Nest. It sounded even more ridiculous to think that someone had given it to hi

Chapter 193 The Bet Begins (Part 1)

The corners of Nathan’s lips twitched when he witnessed Zayn’s despicable behavior. He was infuriated for no apparent reason. He grunted heavily before saying, “There’s no need for you to make such grand gestures. How disgusting! My offer is built upon the premise of you being able to produce the authentic Magpie’s Treasure Nest! If you can’t... I’m not going to ask you to bow down and apologize. All I ask is that you get a divorce with Fifi, and not stand in the way of her happiness!”He emphasized his final sentence by increasing his voice to a thunderous boom. Moreover, he looked over at Faye with a deep, affectionate gaze. It was a repulsive scene that made anyone’s flesh crawl. “Uh… That’s a bit much, isn’t it?” Zayn replied furiously with a frown. Nathan was delighted, and assumed that Zayn’s reaction was out of guilt. He immediately followed up his victory by saying, “Why? Are you afraid? I bet you’re just making a scene to impress these people. There’s no Magpie’s Treasur

Chapter 194 The Bet Begins (Part 2)

Just like that, an absurd bet had unfolded. Zayn and Nathan had also taken a written oath. Both of them appeared to be very confident. However, no one else favored Zayn besides himself. They assumed that he was only making a scene to impress the others, and that he was bringing about his own destruction. Faye was almost driven to madness due to her boiling rage. She should have listened to her parents’ advice and refused to let Zayn join if she were to know that something like that would happen. As luck would have it, she was about to be embarrassed again!Moreover, it had to happen with so many outsiders watching their every move. She felt both anxious and furious at the same time as she mulled over the outcome.Most importantly, Zayn had to get a divorce from Faye if he lost. The word ‘divorce’ had been brought up more than once. Although Faye had brought up the request in the past, she had recently lost the attention to go through with it.If her and Zayn had to get a divorce

Chapter 195 He Won

On the contrary, Xavier was stunned when he laid his eyes on the Magpie’s Treasure Nest. Soon after, his eyes lit up and his expression had turned fervent!He whipped out a magnifying glass from his pocket, put on his glasses, and began examining the Magpie’s Treasure Nest in detail. The more he examined it, the more excited he became. His face was even flushed from the sheer amount of excitement coursing through his veins.Everyone was dumbfounded upon noticing his reaction, and suddenly, an absurd realization popped into their minds!Was it really authentic?On the other hand, Nathan’s smile was already frozen stiff on his face. His heart was racing while his hands and feet had turned ice cold. He was beginning to grow restless. Faye appeared to be caught in a daze. What was happening? Could it be…?Zayn smiled as he asked, “How’s it, Mr. Griffin? The Magpie’s Treasure Nest under my name is authentic, is it not?”Mr. Griffin raised his head. He did not answer Zayn’s questio

Chapter 196 The Magpie’s Treasure Nest Belongs To Ruby Now

The atmosphere in the private room had been plunged into an absolute silence. Everyone had their eyes trained on him.Nathan shuddered, he was on the verge of bursting into tears.“That’s impossible! You didn’t examine it properly! How could an antique in such terrible condition possibly be the Magpie’s Treasure Nest?!” Nathan’s vehemently put the blame on Xavier in his distraught state.Xavier pulled a long face upon hearing Nathan’s accusation. “Nathan, are you doubting my professionalism? Do you think my morals are skewed?” Taking note of Xavier’s fury, Nathan realized that he could not take back what he had just said. He definitely did not want to bow down to Zayn and call him ‘Daddy’ a hundred times either!As a result, he would rather offend Xavier than betray his dignity. What a joke! He would be better off dead than bowing down to Zayn. He grunted reluctantly and said, “How should I say this? Everyone knows that Zayn’s married into the Carters and is just a pauper fro

Chapter 197 The Fault Of An Itchy Armpit

Xavier said, “This Magpie’s Treasure Nest has been intricately crafted with the most exquisite workmanship I’ve ever seen. Look at the intricacies and the detailing. Calcite, onyx, and agate—they’re materials of the finest quality. It’s value is immeasurable!”Ruby’s eyes were glowing even brighter now. “So, can it fetch a high price?”Faye was curious as well. In her mind, she thought about how the Carters were currently facing a financial crisis. If the antique clock could be sold at a high price, it could be used to pull them out of their rut. Perhaps there was no need for them to beg others for financial aid.Xavier did not support Ruby’s ideology of measuring the antique by how much it was worth in monetary terms. However, he answered her in the name of professionalism, “A Magpie’s Treasure Nest of such quality could fetch a price of 3.8 million dollars, at least.”“Wh-what?” Ruby’s eyes widened and her breathing began to sound rushed as well!Faye was dumbstruck. For a mom

Chapter 198 Not The Fault Of An Itchy Armpit, But Zayn

It was irreparably and undeniably smashed.The entire room sank into a ghastly silence as everyone looked on in shocked disbelief.The corners of Zayn’s lips twitched. Even with his vast wealth, he still felt sorry for the obliterated clock. It was worth 4.6 million dollars after all. The rest of them had an even stronger reaction. Xavier expressed his deepest regret and dismay. Not only had 4.6 million dollars just vanished before his very eyes, but it was also a precious, one-of-a-kind antique. It was beyond salvageable!The pupils of Waine and Faye’s eyes constricted. You could detect their visible anger.As for Ruby, she had been stunned into silence. Her face had turned ghastly pale while her hands and feet had gone icy cold. “How... How did this happen?” Ruby was bawling. Waine was so incensed that he gave her a tight slap. “Look at what you’ve done! You’ve just destroyed 4.6 million dollars! I should choke you to death!”Ruby’s cheek was swollen after being struck by

Chapter 199 My Heart Is Somewhere Else

Upon hearing Zayn’s response, Faye felt more at ease. However, she could not help but wonder. It was an antique clock worth 4.6 million dollars after all. Faye felt sorry when it was smashed, yet Zayn was still so calm. It puzzled her because she had no idea when he had become so magnanimous. In the past, he would have felt sorry for losing 10 dollars.“You don’t regret the loss at all?” asked Faye. Zayn knew exactly what was on Faye’s mind simply from the look on her face. He shrugged helplessly and said, “I do, but is there anything that can be done? It’s too late now, so crying over spilt milk wouldn’t remedy the situation, would it? In addition, I can’t just take it out on Mom. I still have respect for my elders.”Upon hearing that, Faye was astounded. Her eyes began glowing with an unusual glimmer. It was her first time seeing Zayn being so benevolent, and it made her see him in an entirely different light. “Do... do you really think so?” asked Faye softly. Zayn smiled and

Chapter 200 Go Straight To The Top

Mr. Hyde deserved his title as the underworld king. In his presence, even Gordon Hayes had to make way for him.

Even fewer people knew he was not hideous at all, despite him taking inspiration for his name from the monstrous Edward Hyde. In truth, he was rather handsome. Though as he was only in his thirties, everyone addressed him as ‘Mister.’Nathan had called Mr. Hyde... Of course, he did not call his number directly, but he contacted his subordinate.
