The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 402

“Ms. Grange, you must have proof to support your accusations. Did you see me hitting your brother? Besides, your brother took my stone and didn't return it. He committed robbery. As someone of the Department of Justice, are you going to let it slide?” Joseph smirked and asked as he wasn't intimidated by Lizbeth at all.

“Lizbeth, don't listen to him. I bought this stone. I have paid him the money!” Oliver hurriedly explained to Lizbeth.

“Shut your mouth!” Lizbeth angrily shouted at Oliver, “I'll deal with you once we get home!”

Seeing that Lizbeth was furious, Oliver held onto the stone with both hands and lowered his head in silence.

“Joseph, I overheard your previous conversation with my brother. In the past, my brother could open the stones by just paying the deposit. But you denied it once he got something good. You're obviously trying to trick him!”

Lizbeth was clever. She could discern the trap set by the owner of the stone gambling store to trick Oliver.

“Ms. Grange, you have to be careful with your words. We are all honest merchants. Besides, everyone here knows that the rule of stone gambling is to pay upfront. I used to let him open the stones with a deposit because I pitied him. Is it wrong that I stopped doing that today? Is it against the law?”

Lizbeth was finally rendered speechless.

“Give him the stone.”

Jared and Josephine squeezed themselves in from the crowd at this critical moment.

“Jared, my dear brother-in-law!” Oliver's eyes glimmered when he saw Jared. “This is imperial jade and it's worth at least a few million. How can I simply return it to them?”

Lizbeth and Jared were terrified when Oliver addressed Jared as his brother-in-law in front of Josephine.

Josephine was stunned. She looked at Jared and Lizbeth in confusion.

“Oliver, you prick! How many times have I told you that I have nothing to do with Jared. He is not your brother-in-law. How could you spout such nonsense? Josephine is Jared's girlfriend, and she's my classmate!”
