Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Miranda's Jealous

"Mr. Ellis, it's not like that, really! I didn't team up with anyone to scam you!" Branden explained frantically.

"I... I just made a mistake! But I didn't mean to!" Kacper sat there in shock, staring at the mess on the floor.

"How is this possible? It can't be true..."

At this moment, Miranda smirked and turned to Harlow. "Harlow, you found yourself a great boyfriend who knows how to cheat and deceive. Thank goodness Lachlan exposed him. Women should always find reliable men; don't let anyone fool you. Hehe..."

Although the words came from a goddess CEO's mouth and sounded light-hearted, they almost made Harlow furious.

"You... I..." Harlow was so angry she couldn't even speak properly. Her boyfriend who had just been used as a show-off item was now in shambles.

"You didn't mean it? One or two coincidences may be possible but all of these are coincidences?" Anton coldly questioned Branden.

Branden had no response; his heart sank deep into his chest because he knew that Anton would never trust him again after this incident.

His reputation in this circle would also be ruined forever; no one would ever pay him high prices for his services again and he wouldn't be able to survive anymore.

But at this moment, Lachlan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ellis, you may have misunderstood him. His appraisal is actually correct. The problem lies with these raw stones."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Anton was taken aback that Lachlan would speak up for Branden.

Branden looked at Lachlan in confusion and surprise, but also with gratitude and anticipation.

Lachlan picked up a piece of scrap material and pointed to the cut surface saying, "You see here, there are faint traces of green inside the raw stone along with some extremely poor quality jadeite. In fact, all of these were originally beautiful jadeite stones."

"As we all know," he continued, "a good piece of jade can nourish people because it absorbs the spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The better the quality of jadeite stone is, the more concentrated its spiritual energy will be! These materials have become like this because their spiritual energy has been sucked dry but it's not visible from outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anton exclaimed in surprise,"Oh? It seems like that's really what happened!"

Branden took a deep breath and carefully observed everything before his face changed slightly.

Kacper was even more startled as he got up from the ground staring intently at these scraps. "How could this happen? Who sucked out all their spiritual energy?" Kacper shouted angrily with a grim expression on his face.

At this point, Anton's face looked a little better, knowing that Branden didn't mean to trick him.

"Who has come into contact with these materials?" Lachlan asked in a deep voice.

The ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within jade was not something an ordinary person can do.

Kacper's face kept changing and he thought for a moment before saying, "This batch of raw stones was brought back from Moclington. Before being shipped to Mr. Ellis, my dad's friend helped some foreign clients take a look at them. They even picked out some pieces of beautiful jade. Could it be..."

"I'm not sure about that..." Lachlan said lightly.

This was the Atkinson family's business and had nothing to do with him personally.

"Mr. Ellis, my family really didn't mean to deceive you. Fortunately, you haven't paid yet. We're really sorry about this," Kacper explained while wiping his sweat off his forehead.

Anton waved his hand without saying anything else but clearly held some resentment in his heart.
