Chapter 197 We’ll Witness It
To him, Elizabeth’s “arrogance” now was just her way of getting his attention.

He took a breath, trying to bring back his old superior air. Then he spoke in what he thought was a generous tone, though it sounded full of arrogance, “Elizabeth, have you had enough? I get that you’re upset, but you don’t need to do all this just for attention. And you really don’t have to come out here… making a scene and letting people laugh at you.”
He paused, as if making a great decision, then continued in a self–righteous voice, acting like he was helping her, “How about this? For the sake of what we had before, these…”
His eyes moved over the boxes on the table. “Don’t sell the rest. Just name a price. I’ll buy it all. Pack up early and go home. This isn’t where you belong.”
As soon as he said that, even the people in line paused. Then they burst out laughing even louder.
“Hah! Did he really say he’ll buy everything?”
“Where’s that confidence coming from? Does he even know the prices here?”
“I’m dying. Does he think he’s some big–shot CEO?”
Finally, Elizabeth looked at him again. Her eyes were like she was looking at some rare kind of idiot.
She didn’t get mad. Instead, she smiled meaningfully. “Oh? You want everything? All of it?”
“Of course.” Zachary straightened up, trying to stay calm. “If I say it, I mean it.”
“You’re surely generous,” Elizabeth said lazily. “But my stuff isn’t cheap. Are you sure you want all of it? Want to think again?”
Hannah was furious that Zachary would spend money on Elizabeth, but she still threw more dirt on Elizabeth. “Zachary never goes back on his word! As long as you don’t make up some crazy price, how could he not afford it?”
That was exactly what Elizabeth wanted.
Her smile grew wider. She looked at the people in line and said clearly, “Everyone heard that, right? Mr. Zachary Knight is choosing to buy all my remaining stock and has promised to pay for everything. Please be witnesses. If he backs out after seeing the total, he’ll pay 10% 10% of the full amount as a penalty!”
“No problem! We’ll witness it!”
“Don’t worry, Tycoon Boss! We all heard him!”
“Hurry up and count it! Let’s see how rich he really is!”
The crowd burst into excitement right away. No one cared about stirring things up more, and they all started cheering it on. Elizabeth smiled. “Let’s do this. I won’t count what’s in storage. We’ll just go with what’s on the table.”
It wasn’t kindness. If she added the storage stock with tiered pricing, the number would be insane. Even selling the Knights wouldn’t cover it.
And then she wouldn’t get a single stellar coin.

It’d be better to take what she could actually get.
Elizabeth turned and instructed Fiona, Peter, and the others, “Count what’s on the table
Fiona had been holding back for a while. She quickly worked with Peter, Selina, and Tasha, count
Soon, they finished.
a called out, “Ms. Schofield, count complete! We have 820 potatoes, 880 sweet potatoes, and 650 strawbs
on as that number was announced, the people in line burst into cheers and all turned to watch Zachary and Hannah the show.
abeth looked at Zachary, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Mr. Zachary, heard that? It’s 820 potatoes, 880 sweet potatoes. strawberries. Based on my posted tiered pricing rules-”
She paused on purpose. Seeing him frown slightly, still not realizing how bad this was, she started calculating slowly.
“The potatoes are 360 coins each. Once you pass 100, the price goes up. At your amount… After calculating, that’s 11,023,200
“The sweet potatoes are 900 each. Same price increase. That comes to 41,382,000 coins.
“The strawberries are 500 each. With the increase, that’s 4,750,000 coins.”
With each number, Zachary’s face grew stiffer.
Finally, Elizabeth gave the total, her voice clear. “Altogether, that’s 57,155,200 coins. Mr. Zachary, here’s my payment code. Please transfer it.”
“F–fifty–seven million?!” Zachary shouted. His calm act broke instantly, all color gone from his face.
He thought it would only be tens of thousands. Maybe a few hundred thousand at most.
He never expected over 50 million!
The Knights were indeed wealthy, but he was just one of the younger generation. He didn’t have that much cash to use.
Hannah was stunned as well. Then she shrieked as someone stepped on her, “Elizabeth! Are you crazy?! Fifty million for this pile of potatoes and sweet potatoes?! You’re clearly setting him up! This is extortion!”
Zachary snapped out of it and forced himself to stay calm. Putting on a serious face, he spoke like an adult scolding a child, “Elizabeth, stop this nonsense! Do you think this kind of joke is funny?”
“A joke?” Elizabeth raised a brow and looked at the people around her. “Guys, be my witnesses. I didn’t just set up this stall today or make these prices on the spot. So tell me–am I the one joking, or are some people just sore losers?”

“Tycoon Boss isn’t joking around! Those prices were set a long time ago!”
“Yeah! All of us can prove it!”

“Not long ago, several people bought 1,000 sets each of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and strawberries! The total was over 180 million stellar coins! We all saw it happen!”
“Tsk, I thought he had money. Turns out he was just talking big to save face.”
