Noticing Sam’s agitated expression, Charlie couldn’t help but smirk: “Hey Sam, do you even remember whether you’ve eaten today? Have you forgotten about that ne you swallowedst time?”


    The reason Sam had ended up swallowing that expensive gemstone ne was due to a bet he lost to Charlie.


    At that moment, Sam thought he had made a fantastic deal by acquiring a ne worth tens of millions, while dismissing the rejuvenation pill Charlie had given to Jasmine as worthless.


    However, he was taken aback when the rejuvenation pill was sold for an astonishing 2 billion dors at Jasmine’s birthday party.


    Since returning home, Sam had been mulling over the situation, and with each passing day, he felt more convinced that something was off.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He couldn’t shake the feeling that no one would genuinely spend 2 billion on something so trivial.


    This led him to suspect that Travis Lane and Charlie had concocted a scheme to deceive him.


    Even though Travis Lane appeared to spend 2 billion, Sam believed that Charlie would simply return the money to him afterward.


    As a result, his animosity towards Charlie grew stronger.


    Sam had initially nned to confront Charlie in Aurous Hill after the New Year, but finding himself in Eastcliff at his grandmother’s house made his anger re even more.


    If it weren’t for the birthday celebration happening, he would have eagerly called someone to help him confront Charlie.


    Thus, he shouted at Charlie: “Wade, you calcted my lossesst time, and I haven’t settled that score yet. Now you dare to show your face in Eastcliff and act tough?”


    With a furious expression, he pressed on: “Did you tell Master the truth? Was Travis Lane with youst time?”


    Charlie scoffed dismissively and replied, “If you can’t handle losing, just admit it. It’s embarrassing to lose and then act like a bully.”


    Enraged, Sam clenched his teeth and retorted, “You think I can’t handle losing? Who’s the one who can’t take it?”


    Charlie grinned and suggested, “If you can handle losing, let’s have another bet.”


    Sam quickly responded, “Sure! What’s the wager?”<fn4a8c> Fresh chapters posted on find?novel</fn4a8c>


    Charlie replied, “Didn’t you say the fan I gave was only worth a few hundred dors? If my fan is better than your jade, you’ll eat your jade, just like you did with the nest time.”


    “What?!” Sam exploded with anger at the mention of the ne incident. “Are you looking for trouble? Believe me, I’ll make sure you regret this!”


    Loreen chimed in indignantly: “Cousin, Charlie is my friend! Don’t take it too far!”


    Sam sneered, “Too far? You think this is excessive? Let me tell you, I’ll settle old and new scores with him this time!”


    Charlie smiled and said, “See, you im you can handle losing, yet you refuse to admit it. You’re backed into a corner, and now you’re just talking tough. So, what’s the deal? Are you afraid to ce a bet?”


    “Afraid to bet?” Sam shot back with derision. “My carefully chosen emperor green jade pendant can’tpare to your flimsy fan? That’s a ridiculous joke!”


    With a serious tone, Sam asked, “And if you lose? Would you dare eat your fan?”
