“I just had surgery because I swallowed a gemstone ne not long ago!”
“If you swallow that jade pendant now, won’t I have to go through another operation?”
As this thought crossed his mind, panic washed over him. He turned pale and fell to the ground in front of Charlie, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded desperately, “Mr. Wade, I truly regret my actions. Please forgive me this time! I just healed from myst surgery, and if I go through it again, I fear I will not survive…”
Lydia, who had been fiercely protective of her son just moments before, quickly grasped the gravity of the situation. She realized that defending her son blindly would only irritate both Charlie and Trevor, so she resorted to tears and supplication: “Sir, I beg you, please don’t hold my son ountable. He’s just an uneducated fool who has already faced consequences for his actions. This time, I implore you to let him go!”
Charlie responded with a smile, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to forgive him, but he did provoke me. He was the one who initiated the betst time, and it’s the same scenario today. He has to take responsibility for his wager. Can you really me me if he loses?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Trevor chimed in, “Seriously, Sam, you challenged Mr. Wade. Are you nning to back out if you lose? If that’s the case, don’t me me for turning on you!”
Sam, filled with dread, waved his hands in panic: “No, no! I admit it! I admit it!”
At that moment, Sam fully understood the precariousness of his situation. If he didn’t acknowledge it today, Trevor would ensure he faced severe consequences. He feared he might not only lose his standing in Eastcliff but could also bring trouble to the Kilgore family due to his own actions. Thus, he reluctantly conceded, “I’m willing to take my losses…”
Even as he said this, he picked up the jade pendant and examined it closely. With gritted teeth, he hesitated to swallow it, fully aware of the intense pain that would follow.
Lydia watched, heartbroken. She vividly recalled the agony her son endured during hisst operation, which nearly led to an intestinal blockage. How could she bear to see him go through that torment again?
Desperately, she pleaded, “Young Master Sun, please consider Sam’s condition. He just had surgery not long ago; he can’t endure this again…”
Even though Trevor was pushing Sam to ept his bet, he was clueless about the terms of the wager with Charlie. Surprised by Lydia’s mention of another surgery, he asked Sam, “What exactly did you bet with Mr. Wade?”
With a trembling voice, Sam replied, “I…I bet with Mr. Wade that if the fan he brought is more expensive than the jade pendant I bought, I would have to swallow the jade…”
Trevor was taken aback, questioning, “Your mother mentioned you just had surgery. What’s the story?”
Reluctantly, Sam recounted, “Last time, at Lord Moore’s house in Aurous Hill, I also made a wager with Mr. Wade. I lost, and I had to swallow a string of gemstone nes, whichter required surgical removal due to an intestinal obstruction…”
Trevor swallowed hard, horrified by Sam’s tale.
Was Sam really that unfortunate? He had already swallowed a string of nes, and now he faced the prospect of swallowing a jade pendant!
Although Trevor wasn’t known for his kindness, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Sam upon hearing this. After all, provoking Charlie was no small matter.<fn4fe2> This content belongs to find(?)ovel</fn4fe2>
Who exactly was Charlie?
Not only that, but even the God of War would crumble before him in an instant.
Trevor, known as the young master of the Sun family and the renowned diamond king of Eastcliff, nicknamed the “Eastcliff Human Pile Driver,” had a reputation that kept most at a distance. Yet, he had witnessed how Charlie had reduced him to a mere shadow of himself, forcing him to kneel in submission and beg for forgiveness.
If Trevor could face such humiliation, how could a second-rate nobody like Sam hope to stand up against him?
