Chapter 69

Ethan's voice was like thunder, shattering Jovan's last trace of hope.

At the same time, everyone remembered the previous bet and immediately made way between Ethan and Jovan!

Some even directly blocked Jovan's retreat for Ethan!

“...Alex, I didn't expect you to be a master as well! My little tricks are nothing compared to you. I was just joking earlier, nothing serious!"Jovan turned around and immediately forced out an ugly smile while explaining to Ethan.

“Joking? Mr. Foster, I was quite serious just now, and so many people witnessed it. And you're telling me you were joking?" Ethan sneered.

He knew it wouldn't be easy to make this old guy willingly admit defeat in a bet!

“Alex,you want to make me lose all my dignity? I don't know why you pretended not to know and set a trap for me, but you're definitely part of this circle too! I am a senior member of the Novaria Mineral Association.If you really force me, you won't be able to survive in this circle anymore!"

Jovan's face turned extremely ugly, and he even threatened Ethan with his own status.

"You damn bastard, you don't care about dignity! I don't give a shit about your association. Swindle me out of my money, and the price may be more than you can bear! If you don't pay me today, best believe you won't be able to walk out of here!"

Ethan was furious and warned Jovan in a hostile tone.

Just then, there was suddenly a commotion outside the crowd, and an old man walking towards this side was escorted by several young venue staff members.

“Isn't that Beckett, Novaria Mineral Association's president? I didn't expect he would be alerted!"

“With such a large piece of emerald, who dares to ignore it?"

“Who do you think Beckett will support?"

“It's hard to say!"

The surrounding voices of the people immediately filled the air with discussions.

“President,you're here!”

Upon seeing Beckett, Jovan's eyes lit up as if he had found a life-saving straw. He immediately shouted at him with a distressed face.

"What are you doing here?”

Jovan's heart sank immediately; it was clear that Beckett hadn't come to help him!

"Are you the president of the Novaria Mineral Association?" Ethan asked without waiting for Jovan to speak.

“Yes, that's me. Little brother, may I have a look at the jade in your hands?”Beckett's gaze was completely drawn to the large piece of jade Ethan was holding.

"Of course, you can take a look. But there's something I hope the president can help me with. Someone on your turf owes me ten million dollars. Shouldn't you do something about it?” Ethan casually handed the heavy jade over to Hannah. Hannah was startled and quickly held it with both hands. However, the jade was too heavy, and she stumbled, almost losing her balance. This caused everyone to gasp and sweat with worry. However, Ethan didn't seem to care at all; his gaze was fixed on Beckett. Ethan didn't stop him either; he knew Beckett wouldn't allow Jovan to take advantage of his position for his own personal gain! Beckett's men quickly stepped forward to support the jade for Hannah,and made Beckett breathed a sigh of relief. “Such a thing actually happened? If that's true, I will definitely help you get the money back!" Beckett immediately agreed.

Jovan's face turned pale!

“That's right. He just made a bet with me and lost ten million dollars;Everyone around can testify! If you want to see the jade, help me get my money first!" Ethan lightly pointed at Jovan and explained.

"Mr. Foster, is this true? Since you lost the bet, you should be willing to accept the loss. Do you want to cheat and not pay up?" Beckett's gaze turned cold as he scolded without a doubt.

If it were anyone else, they would've considered the impact and consequences, but Jovan knew Beckett better than anyone,so he naturally complied immediately with Ethan's request!

“Give me the account number, I'll transfer the money right now!"

Jovan couldn't lie anymore, so he agreed straightforwardly.

After all, he still wanted to continue making money as a senior member of the Novaria Mineral Association, and he wouldn't dare disobey Beckett's words!

"Transfer it directly to the company's account. I believe you should be used to Miss Collins' bank account, right?” Ethan sneered.

"I will transfer the money as soon as I get back. Goodbye!"

Jovan snorted resentfully and left the scene dejectedly under everyone's gaze.
