Chapter 381

Caelan maintained a stoic expression, though his frosty stare on Lloyd intensified. "Zeal, you stirred up trouble but can't handle the consequences like a man. You're clearly at fault yet shamelessly challenged for a match. Truly, you've surprised me."Compared to Lloyd's sarcastic remarks, Caelan was the one with the sharpest tongue. Once he struck, his enemy would be left with no way out.While few people knew the reason behind Lloyd and Jade's bet, Caelan openly revealed it. Upon hearing that, murmurs of disapproval arose among the crowd. Making such a fuss with a girl over a trivial matter was ungentlemanly.The whispers from the crowd made Lloyd's face burn with embarrassment. He had intended to humiliate Hunter to win Jade's favor, but it had backfired."But your generosity is truly admirable. What a bold move to bet with 10,000,000 dollars," Caelan added nonchalantly, watching Lloyd's face turn beet red.Lloyd had only felt a bit embarrassed before, but now he felt comple

Caelan raised an eyebrow slightly, a response of sorts."Why is this fellow so dull? You either nod or speak one word at a time. Can't you say a few more words?" Jade muttered.When Caelan was tongue-lashing Lloyd earlier, he wasn't this sparing with his words.Caelan chuckled and gently held Jade's hand.Jade flushed red. She tried to pull her hand away but found it tightly held, realizing that Caelan was doing it on purpose.The small gestures between them ignited Lloyd's jealousy.Hunter saw Lloyd's scowl and couldn't help but chuckle."What are you laughing at?" Lloyd snapped."I'm laughing because your jealousy is dripping," Hunter replied.Lloyd reeled back his gaze, directing his anger toward Hunter. "Don't forget, if you lose, you'll not only embarrass yourself in school but also become the laughingstock of the country, with all the major websites live-streaming this.""Oh, really?" Hunter smiled. "Are you so sure that I'll lose?"Hunter's confidence stunned Lloyd.

Hunter looked at the referee with a dissatisfied expression.His teammates also spoke up for him indignantly."Are you kidding me? Hunter didn't even touch him, yet you're giving us a yellow card for his dive?"The players ran to the referee, all expressing their anger and demanding fairness. They surrounded the referee, their emotions running high.Despite the referee's repeated warning whistles, the players showed no fear. Owen's oldest apprentice, Liam Vaughan, especially threatened the referee with clenched fists.The referee paled in fear and kept backing away.Meanwhile, Lloyd and his teammates watched the show. The more Hunter and his teammates lost control of their emotions, the more it worked in their favor.Jade could see everything from the sidelines and couldn't help but feel anxious for Hunter and his teammates. If they allowed Lloyd to lead them by the nose, they would undoubtedly lose.Just as Jade was hesitating whether to remind Hunter, she saw him calm his tea

Jade smirked and teased him, "One who can make you praise them must be exceptional."Caelan glanced at her indulgently and couldn't help but smile when he saw her sparkling eyes and mischievous demeanor."Focus on the game."They stopped chatting and redirected their attention to the court.Jade was stunned as she watched the game.In a mere two minutes, Hunter scored another two points. He appeared transformed, dribbling with confidence akin to an agile leopard evading capture. With powerful strides and a swift motion of his long arm, he dunked the ball into the basket.The crowd erupted into cheers.…In less than 20 minutes since the start, Hunter had scored three times.Meanwhile, Lloyd, the captain of the university basketball team, hadn't even touched the ball.

Lloyd glared at Jade, his forehead veins bulging. For her to demand that he apologize to Hunter in front of so many people, she was intentionally humiliating him."Jade, do you have to treat me like this?" He gritted his teeth.Jade raised an eyebrow with a cold smirk. "Wasn't it your idea? You said if we won, you'd apologize to Hunter. You, the esteemed CEO of the Zeal Group, won't go back on your word, will you?"Since Jade publicly revealed the bet, he couldn't go back on it even if he wanted to.The spectators stared at them, wondering if Lloyd would apologize to Hunter in front of so many people. There was one thing everyone knew for sure, though. Whether Lloyd apologized or not, he was thoroughly shamed today.Lloyd stood there, his scowl darkening with each passing moment. If there were only a few people present, he could swallow his pride and apologize to Hunter. But with so many people there, wouldn't he become the laughingstock of the entire university if he apologized n

Jade put away her joking face and said seriously, "Lloyd is cunning and deceitful. If we publicly cornered him and didn't give him a way out today, he would surely cling to us like a rabid dog."There's a saying: 'It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain'. We've given him a lesson, so I believe he won't come looking for trouble in the short term.""Oh..." Realization struck Hunter as he considered Jade's words and found them reasonable. "Okay, I'll listen to you."Jade and Hunter exchanged a smile, but her smile froze when her gaze fell on someone in the distance. She had been so engrossed in chatting with Hunter that she had forgotten about Caelan.He was currently standing ahead and looking at her with a displeased expression.Jade ran over, grabbing his hand. "Caelan, we won this battle beautifully, didn't we?"Caelan didn't pull his hand back, instead gripping Jade's hand. "It was impressive. You got Lloyd into a real mess this time.""That's his own doing!" Jade huf

Hunter's words amused Jade. Since he put it that way, refusing would seem too affected, so she decided to accept it.However, she wasn't one to take advantage of others for nothing. She thought for a moment before saying, "How about I deposit the money into the Severin Group and give you dividends at the end of the year? What do you think?""The Severin Group?" Hunter pondered for a moment, his eyes lighting up. "Is it the Severin Group that makes jewelry? Are you the current CEO?"Jade smiled bashfully. "I can't really say it's mine. I'm only temporarily in charge. My focus isn't on running the business."The Severins' affairs were known among insiders, and Hunter was no exception. He instantly understood what Jade meant and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll go along with your plan. But I can't take your dividends for nothing. How about I design some jewelry for you as compensation?""You can design too?" Jade widened her eyes, realizing there were many mysteries about Hunter. Wit

The car window rolled down, revealing Lloyd's sinister face. He smirked at Jade and Hunter. "Sorry about that, hope I didn't scare you with the speed."Jade looked at his annoying face and retorted without backing down, "Us being scared is a small matter, but you not being able to control your things is a big deal. Losing money is a small loss, but losing pride is significant, isn't that right, Mr. Zeal?"She was mocking Lloyd's wager. He was arrogant just because he thought he played basketball well, but Hunter bested him.Lloyd instantly scowled. He was too green to be playing verbal games with Jade."I hope you'll always be able to stay so sharp-tongued," Lloyd spat and glared at Jade hatefully before stepping on the gas pedal and zooming off.Hunter watched Lloyd's car disappear and shook his head. "It seems like we won't be able to resolve our grievances with him.""If we can't resolve it, then we'll just have to knock him down until he can't bother us anymore," Jade said li

The crowd turned around to see Lloyd walking toward them. He was well-known throughout the university, so the security guards naturally recognized his car.Seeing Lloyd, they all hesitated. "Mr. Zeal, do you need anything?"Lloyd pointed at Asher with a smile. "Hand him over to me.""Mr. Zeal, this guy is very dangerous. You should be careful," the security guard kindly reminded.Lloyd took Asher and smiled without a care. "It's okay. He won't hurt me."He took Asher back to his car, put him inside, and then quickly left the campus.…Half an hour later, Lloyd returned to his company.Jordan, his assistant, opened the car door, greeting respectfully, "Mr. Zeal, you're back."Lloyd nodded and pointed inside the car. "Take good care of him. He's my guest."Jordan took a look inside, Upon seeing Asher slumped in the back seat, reeking of alcohol, he frowned in disapproval. "It's a drunkard?""A drunkard?" Lloyd smiled nonchalantly. "He's not just any ordinary drunkard, but a ge

It seemed one of them dwelled in paradise while the other survived underground. Asher had always yearned to prove himself, but opportunities eluded him. How could he possibly let this golden chance slip away today, lying right before his eyes?"Really? Are you sure you want to collaborate with me?" Asher's eager eyes couldn't escape Lloyd. He was like a fish out of water, and Lloyd was the water that could save him.Lloyd nodded and handed a card to Asher, saying, "There are 7,000,000 dollars in here. You can use them as you please. Not only that, but I can also give you 1% of the Zeal Group's shares, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. Is that sincere enough?"Asher was too shocked to speak. If he had doubts about Lloyd earlier, he now fully trusted him."Mr. Zeal, you really surprised me. Since you're so sincere, I won't let you down either."Lloyd shook hands with Asher and smiled. "Here's to a great partnership."...The celebration party for the game was sch
