Chapter 1424: Otherwise
Earlier, some people didn’t understand what was happening. Now, hearing Sophie Wilson mention Stone God Grant, they looked closely and exclaimed, "Stone God Grant!"Stone God Grant’s downfall after one fateful cut, losing everything and disappearing from the Gambling Stones Realm, caused quite a stir locally.
Later, Master Clark not only took over Stone God Grant’s wife but also suddenly became rich.
Considering the sequence of events, no one’s a fool.
What remains unclear?
Betrayed by his brother, and backstabbed by his wife, Stone God Grant’s downfall left many lamenting.
However, over the years, Mrs. Clark always stayed reclusive and never visited the gambling arenas, hence people didn’t recognize her.
Stone God Grant hadn’t appeared for years; on first glance, they didn’t recognize him, but looking carefully now, who else could it be but Stone God Grant?
Not everyone in the restaurant was from the Gambling Stones Realm, and they asked the people next to them out of curiosity.
As a significant event back then in the Gambling Stones Realm, those in the circle were keen to share, and soon the restaurant buzzed with discussions.
"Mrs. Clark seems to truly love Master Clark now. Even knowing Master Clark gambled everything away a few days ago, she still comes to Uncle Grant to plead. Why didn’t you do this for Uncle Grant back then?" Sophie Wilson curiously asked.
Mrs. Clark was trembling with rage, staring intently at Patrick Grant, only to find he was unmoved.
Her heart sank bit by bit, and finally, she snorted coldly, "Patrick, I didn’t expect you to be so heartless."
"Even if you are unwilling about what happened back then and want revenge on us, we don’t want you to go astray." With a demeanor of concern for Patrick Grant, Mrs. Clark said, "You shouldn’t have secretly sold the raw stones of your jewelry company. If your boss finds out, it will be a major issue."
"You won’t just lose money then; there’s a good chance you’ll end up in jail!"
As soon as Mrs. Clark’s words were out, the people around were shocked.
Stone God Grant would actually do such a thing?
However, considering what happened to Stone God Grant back then, with his family nearly destroyed overnight, it’s reasonable he might want revenge after so many years.
"I’m here to save you," Mrs. Clark said softly, "if you just return the money you cheated us out of, we won’t go and report you. We’ll pretend nothing ever happened, does that sound good?"
Sophie Wilson was taken aback, what kind of situation is this?
Is Mrs. Clark out of her mind?
Threatening to report her Uncle Grant right in front of her, the owner behind Lingzhu Jade Artifacts?
Even though she’s a hands-off manager, she knows for sure that Lingzhu Jade Artifacts is hers.
Who is Mrs. Clark going to report?
"Report? Who are you going to report to?" Sophie Wilson genuinely wanted to understand this situation; she truly didn’t know there’s someone above her as her boss.
She’s not the type to find herself a supervisor.
If she did, how would her lazy lifestyle plan work out?
Finally, at this moment, Mrs. Clark reluctantly turned her precious gaze slightly towards Sophie Wilson, but only for a moment before shifting back to Patrick Grant. "Patrick, did you know? The people from Lingzhu Jade Artifacts are already in the private room inside. My husband is discussing cooperation with them. If you return the money you cheated us out of, we absolutely won’t let anyone else know about your secret sale of company raw materials, otherwise..."
