Chapter 26 A Bet on Tia’s Marriage
Is that so I heard that those who got released from prison would forever be bad luck. Thus, how are you brave enough to gamble here?” Queenie mocked him. After all, she still held a grudge against Tia since the latter had disrespected her the last time.
When a heard her words, she deliberately linked her arms around William’s. “Honey, is your ex- girlfriend still into you? She is hideous. Please don’t get back together with her,” she whispered, making William’s heart race while Queenie was furious.
“You I would never fall in love with someone as worthless as him
“Are you blind? How dare you say he is worthless? I’ll have you know that he is an expert in stone gambling. Every stone he chooses will be a jackpot. Tia showed off without holding back.
Jackpot! Are you kidding?” Queenie smiled mockingly. “Talk is cheap.”
Hearing her words, Tia turned her head and looked at William. “Honey, why don’t you pick a stone and show them?
William got into character rather quickly. “Sure!” Then, he activated his third eye once again.
Coincidentally, he spotted a raw stone that cost 18,000 and weighed 44 lbs after scanning a few stones. Inside the stone, he saw a bright green piece that was around 2 lbs. Such stones would cost about 45,000 for 0.1 lbs. So, he would earn about 13 million if the stone had 11 lbs.
This is it! William’s heart thumped wildly.
Then, he pointed at the ore and paid immediately as the staff was keeping the ore in the box.
Seeing that William was quick to choose a stone, Tanner couldn’t help but shake his head. “Don’t gamble if you don’t know how to, William. You will lose all your money. As he spoke, he started to scan the stones. too. In the end, he chose a black nephrite jade that weighed more than 22 lbs. Tanner felt that he would win since the raw stone looked perfect. “This is called a black nephrite jade. Although it is not a common. stone, there was a high chance it would be worth it.”
Hearing his words, William couldn’t help but scan it. He saw only a streak of imperial jade, and the others were a grayish green. However, he said nothing and looked at the stone cutter, “Please help me cut it.”
“Let us go first!” snapped Queenie as she immediately took the black nephrite jade.
William didn’t say anything and stood aside. After the stonecutter had taken over Queenie’s ore piece, he cut a small opening using a grinder. As the ear–piercing sound echoed, a light green color appeared, Then, he immediately gave it to Tanner. The crowd gradually surrounded them. When they saw the color, someone said, “It’s moss green. He lost!”
“Alas! Such a color is only worth a thousand. That man must have lost 25,000,”
As Tanner heard their words, he frowned and didn’t believe it. He told the stonecutter to cut the other end. However, it was still moss green! As the crowd sighed, Tanner had a grim expression. After all, as a stingy person, he couldn’t accept the fact that he had lost over two million.

“No matter what, we must still cut it open to know the result. Sir, you can begin.” William smiled faintly. As he spoke, he drew a line on the stone, indicating that the stonecutter could cut it in half rather than a small opening.
The stonecutter said nothing and started to grind the stone. After some time, half of the stone was cut off, and a bright green appeared in the middle.
“It’s green!” someone exclaimed.
One of them used a flashlight and shone it on the green. Then, he said, “Good news! It’s all green! He is going to win!”
Queenie had a grim expression when she heard the person’s words. She stared at the green color and said, “Maybe it’s just a quarter of it. It’s not even worth it.”
William drew another two lines and signaled the stonecutter to grind it. After some time, the stonecutter smiled and gave the stone to William. “Congratulations, sir. It’s a big hit!”
At that moment, the crowd saw a deep green in the middle of the ore. The color was fully saturated, and it was an ice species. Therefore, it was definitely a high–end jadeite.
In the meantime, Tia’s eyes lit up. “You are amazing, honey. This ore piece weighed almost 2 lbs, and it cost 15 million. We have doubled the investment fifty times!”
Queenie and Tanner were shocked. Fifty times! How is he so lucky?! they thought.
Just then, a middle–aged man approached them. He had gold teeth, and his hair was slicked back. “Are you selling this stone, sir? If you are, I’m willing to give you 15 million!”
“Sorry, but we are not selling it, Tia replied faintly. The Lloyd Family was engaged in the jewelry industry. If this piece of stone were to be polished and refined, they could still double the price.
When William heard her words, he replied to the man, “We are not selling it.”
The middle–aged man was disappointed. He shook his head and left.
Queenie had a grim expression. Just as she was about to drag Tanner away. Tia deliberately called out. “Who said that my honey is a man with bad luck? Now, do you believe me when I tell you that you are blind?”
Queenie was furious when she heard her words. She dragged Tanner and left without hesitation. Looking at them, Tia smiled happily.
“Are you going to buy this? After all, you refused to let me sell it to the man,” William said faintly.
“That’s right. I’ll give you 22 million. How’s that sound? Plus, I’ll buy every single ore that you cut open.”
“Deal. I’ll sell it all to you,” William said.
Then, he noticed that although/Queenie had left, Tia still had her arms wrapped around him. She was so close to him that he could sense the sweet fragrance on her, tempting him to pull her closer to him.
At this moment, an angry voice sounded. “Who is he, Tia?!”

was in his thirties. The man wore a suit, and his hair was slicked back. He was glaring at them. When Tia saw the man, she hugged William tightly, almost fully leaning against him. Her chest was against William’s arm, and he savored the soft sensation.
“He is my boyfriend” said Tia as she raised her chin.
“Your” The man was furious.
“What? Grandpa can’t force me to do anything I dislike. Thus, don’t you ever think about marrying me?” Tia looked at him.
Hearing her words, the man smirked coldly. “You are provoking me, Tia. Trust me. I can make him disappear by just giving an order.”
“Really?” William raised his eyebrow. “Are you a magician? Let’s go, then. I’m waiting.
Tia burst out laughing and said, “Oh, honey. Can’t you tell that he is threatening you?”
“Nothing good will happen to those who threatened me,” William said faintly.
“He is a special one. His name is Josh Young, the son of the Young Family, which is also one the four prestigious families of Justford, Tia explained.
“I haven’t heard about it.” William drawled.
“Those who know nothing fear nothing, kiddo. It’s fine, though. Soon, you will know how powerful I am. To me, you are just an ant!” Josh stared at Willia
“On the contrary, you are nothing compared to him, Josh!” Tia smirked coldly.
Josh was too mad to say anything. When he was a college student, he had been courting Tia, but to no avail. Just as Tia’s family had pressured her into marrying him, she escaped. For the past few days, he had been searching for her, but he never expected to see her with another man!
“Tia!” He looked at her with a grim expression. “How can you compare him with me? Whether it is our status, background, or future, I am stronger than him! If you come to me now, I will forgive you.”
“There will never be anything between us. Just give up, Josh,” Tia said faintly.
Hearing her words, Josh looked at William and saw that he was stone gambling. At that moment, he asked with a smirk, “Are you here with him to gamble?”
“Yes. Moreover, we had just won 15 million.”
“15 million? There is not much fun, seeing that we are filthy rich.” Then, he looked at William. “Hey, are

“Of course! Hey, Josh, let’s make a bet, shall we?” suggested Tia.
“A bet?” Josh was startled.
“That’s right. The both of you choose a piece of ore. If his ore’s value exceeds yours, you are forbidden to come near me again. However, if you have a higher price value than him. I will marry you,” said Tia.

“Yes,” replied Tia. “Do you dare to take the bet?”
“Yes! I’ll accept the bet!‘ Josh’s eyes lit up, and he was confie had never thought of William as a serious competitor. “See you at the Supreme area!” Then, he turned around and left, seemingly to find
assistance.
“Aren’t you afraid, Tia? You have bet your marriage on me. What if I lose?” William frowned.
Tià
“I believe in you.” Tia smiled. “You won’t leave me to die, right?”
“I’ll try my best. However, I can’t afford to pay for the stones in the Supreme area. It’s too expensive,” explained William.
“It’s fine. We can buy it together. If you lose, I’ll pay for it. However, we’ll split the money in half if we win.”
Tia smiled.
“Okay.” William nodded.
Then, he left the Grade B area and entered the Supreme area. When he entered the Supreme area, he saw that there weren’t many ores. Only hundreds of ores were placed together in a big courtyard, and it was fully secured. Inside, there was another small courtyard, seemingly to have other ores. However, there weren’t many people there. When he entered the gate, he looked at the ore’s price. 55 million, 71 million, 157 million
“It’s so expensive!” William was shocked. There was no way he could afford it on his own.
There weren’t many people in the courtyard. When they entered the place, they saw Josh enter with an older gentleman behind him. At that moment, Tia’s expression changed. Then, she whispered to William, “It’s Cesar Levy, the Gem Wizard!”
