Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Give me an explanation

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more! These raw stones are all top-quality materials!" Branden wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Anton with an unpleasant expression.

"That's right, just a coincidence. You can never be sure with raw stones like these! Mr. Ellis, this batch of goods is definitely fine!" Kacper hurriedly defended himself.

He felt a hint of doubt from Anton' gaze earlier.

"Enough talk, Mr. Carney, you should pay up now. 1 million for a piece of worthless stone. You're truly generous," Orion sneered.

He was on Lachlan's side now and had been holding back his anger towards the group who had been mocking Lachlan earlier.

"Yeah, hurry up and pay! Who cares about this so-called master or this crappy stone? Kacper, are you trying to scam my dad?" Betty rolled her eyes and asked.

"Nonsense! It's just a coincidence! Besides, if anyone has to pay, it'll be me to receive. What's your hurry?" Kacper blushed and turned to Branden saying, "Mr. Carney I don't want your money anymore, let's continue gambling!"

"That's right. It's just good luck. Nothing special." Harlow added discontentedly.

Branden breathed a sigh of relief at their words, "Alright then."

As he spoke, he selected another rough stone that looked to be of excellent quality and pointed it at Lachlan, asking, "Kid, do you dare to continue gambling?"

Lachlan shrugged. "I'll play along! But let's change the stakes a bit. If I win and you can't pay for the stone, I don't care if this guy has to cover your debt. But if I lose, you have to give me 1 million dollar. Otherwise it's no fun."

"Exactly! If Mr. Willis loses and has to help you pay for the stone, then what's the point of losing?" Orion protested.

"Fine then. 1 million it is!" Branden nodded firmly.

He still had confidence in his own judgment and these stones. The previous failure was just an accident.

After they agreed on the terms, both staffs placed their materials onto the cutting machine once again as its piercing sound echoed through the room.

Everyone watched with bated breaths as they waited for results.

However, when they lifted up the cut piece of rock again... it was still grayish-white with barely any green mist visible at all!

"It failed? Again?" Anton' face twitched as his heart skipped a beat.

This time around Kacper's expression became more doubtful than ever before as he stared back at Anton incredulously, "How could this be possible? Why did this happen?"

"Keep cutting! Cut from the middle!" Branden shouted, his voice hoarse and sweat pouring down his face.

Had both of these high-quality raw stones really failed?

A few minutes later, when the stone was once again split in half from the middle, Branden stumbled.

His mentality was about to collapse!

Just like the previous one, there were only scattered green spots inside!

"Mr. Carney, let's transfer funds?" Lachlan said with a smile.

"What the hell!" Kacper's expression changed constantly.

Harlow glanced at Lachlan and wanted to say something but swallowed it back down. She just turned her head towards Kacper and asked softly, "Kacper, what's going on?"

"What?! What's going on? How would I know? Do you also think I'm trying to cheat Mr. Ellis? These raw stones were all dug out from Moclington's rich mine. Look at their quality! How could they all be waste material? Impossible!"

Kacper was getting frustrated and yelled at Harlow, his face contorted in disbelief. "These two pieces were just accidents, definitely just accidents!" He then turned to Lachlan and said, "Keep gambling! I'll bet you 1 million on this one piece. If it doesn't work out, I won't believe it today!"

Kacper picked a rough stone about the size of a human head that had a hint of green when viewed from the outside.
