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 though was a generous tone, though it sounded full of arrogance, “Elizabeth, have you had enough get that you’re upset, but you don’t need to do all this just for attention. And you really don‘ 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 lik 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 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 o 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!”

Chapter 197 We’ll Witness It
Fini
“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, an 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 th 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, counting everything fast and carefully.
Soon, they finished.
Fiona called out, “Ms. Schofield, count complete! We have 820 potatoes, 880 sweet potatoes, and 650 strawberries left!”
As soon as that number was announced, the people in line burst into cheers and all turned to watch Zachary and Hannah, ready to enjoy the show.
Elizabeth looked at Zachary, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Mr. Zachary, heard that? It’s 820 potatoes, 880 sweet potatoes, and 650 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 coins.
“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.
