Chapter 363

Mrs. Labenz and Harry stared at Haylan. Their hearts had never felt this pain before.

In that short period, he had lost 800 thousand dollars!

That was their money!

That was so heart-aching!

If they were to exchange that money for Whileal Kingdom’s currency, it would still be worth tens of thousands of dollars. That was enough for them to live comfortably.

“Grandma, Uncle Harry, the statistics look good. I am about to turn the tables. Please send me another two million dollars. I promise I can double it.” Haylan said.

Murderous intent rose within Mrs. Labenz and Harry when they heard what Haylan said.

800 thousand dollars! All gone!

Giving their money to Haylan was akin to throwing their money down the drain.

It was going nowhere!

“Haylan. Those 800 thousand dollars that I transferred you just now are all I have. I don’t have any money left,” said Harry. “Haylan, it’s not that Grandma doesn’t want to help you. It’s just that I don’t have any money left,” Mrs. Labenz said.

“But I’m really about to turn the tables. How can you not have money left? This is all your fault!” Haylan shouted.

Fuck!

Mrs. Labenz and Harry were seething with rage when they heard what Haylan said. They were infuriated.

It was his fault that he lost all his money. How did it become their fault suddenly?

“How can I recoup my losses if you don’t have any money?”

“No, I have to recoup my losses!

Haylan looked like an addicted gambler who had lost his mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he snatched the emerald pendant from Mrs. Labenz and Harry. He said, “1 remember now. This thing is worth a lot of money. I’ll pawn it now.”

With that, he turned around and ran out.

“Haylan!”

Felicia was shocked and quickly tried to stop him.

Mrs. Labenz and Harry were aghast. They stood up immediately and tried to prevent him from leaving.

The emerald pendant was worth 200 million dollars. How could they allow Haylan to pawn it?

But Felicia was faster than them and managed to catch up to Haylan. She pulled him back and hissed, “Haylan, what are your doing? The emerald pendant is our family’s heirloom. How can you pawn it?”

“Mom, I’m really about to turn the tables. I need the two million dollars,” a disheveled Haylan cried with bloodshot eyes. “Haylan. Why are you behaving like this? Calm down!” Felicia panicked.

Haylan had always been very calm and sensible since he returned. He was a filial boy.

But he seemed to have become a different person today. Was he actually so addicted to gambling?

“Haylan, listen to us. This emerald is your mother’s favorite. You cannot sell it,” Harry said.

“Yes, yes. You cannot sell it,” Mrs. Labenz chimed in as well.

She was panting heavily.

She got up too fast to chase after Haylan earlier. Although it was only about ten to twenty steps, she ran with all her might and could not catch her breath.

She stared intently at the emerald pendant in Haylan’s hand.

It did not matter what happened to Haylan. But the emerald pendant had to be kept intact. It must not even have a scratch

on it.

“But I need money.”

All of a sudden, Haylan seemed to have thought of something. He immediately grabbed Mrs. Labenz’s and Harry’s hands and said, “Grandma, Uncle Harry, how about this? I’ll sell this emerald pendant to you cheaply, and then you can give me the money. How about that?”

Mrs. Labenz and Harry secretly jumped with joy when they heard that.

That was exactly what they had in mind.

However, with Haylan behaving like a mamac, they felt at ease and composed instead.

“Haylan, this is not right. That is your mother’s precious. How can you sell it just like that?” Harry pretended to be benevolent

“Haylan, calm down. We can discuss this. Don’t take things too hard.” Mrs. Labenz advised.

“I need money. If you don’t want this emerald. I’ll sell it to someone elsel?”

Haylan eyes were red as he ran out with the emerald pendant like a hanatic.

Harry was flustered and mummediately said, “No, no, no. We’ll buy it!”

“Really” Haylan turned around in surprise.

“Yes. That emerald is your mother’s treasure. We can’t let you sell it to other people. We’ll buy it.” Harry explained.

“How much will you buy it for?” Haylan asked.

“Name your price

“Since you’re my elder, I won’t cheat you of your money. How about this? Let’s make a fair deal. I will sell it to you for 10 million dollars!”

“What?”

Mrs. Labenz and Harry gasped at Haylan’s offer.

How were they going to come out with that much money?

“Haylan, how can you do this? You mustn’t sell this emerald pendant”

Felicia appeared crestfallen She tried to snatch the emerald pendant from Haylan.

Haylan quickly dodged and said. “Mom, I really need the money. I just borrowed six million dollars from someone. I need to return more than eight million dollars with interest. So, I really need this money.”

“What? You even took out a loan?” Felicia’s face darkened

Where were they going to replace eight million dollars? That would bankrupt the family.

Felicia was so furious that she wanted to lash out at him.

This wastrel!

“Mom, don’t be angry. Grandma and Uncle Harry are here, aren’t they? They are businessmen and are loaded. They are even rich enough to immigrate. As long as we sell them the emerald pendant, everything will be alright.”

Haylan continued with a solemn expression, “I believe that they will help me. After all, blood is thicker than water.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We will definitely help you,” said Mrs. Labenz.

Harry took out his phone instantly and said, “Haylan. Sell the emerald pendant to me. I’ll transfer six million dollars to you.

now.

“But Uncle Harry, I need 10 million dollars.”

“Haylan, listen to me. I don’t have that much money for the time being. I’ll give you six million dollars first. Then, I will transfer you another two million dollars when I get the money. How about that?” Harry suggested.

The emerald pendant was worth 200 million dollars!

It would be a windfall if they could buy that for just 10 million dollars!

That was a good deal!

“Will you really give me the remaining 20 million dollars later on?” Haylan asked.

“Really!”

“I don’t believe you unless it is in black and white. Write the IOU and I’ll give it to you.”

“Okay, I’ll write you an IOU.”

Harry was desperate to get that emerald pendant. He quickly found a pen and wrote the IOU. He even put his thumbprint on it. Then, he transferred the six million dollars to Haylan and passed him the IOU. He said, “Haylan, this should do it. I am really trying to help you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Harry.”

Haylan took the IOU and handed the emerald pendant to Harry. “Alright. Here is the emerald pendant. A fair deal is a fair

deal.”

Harry took the emerald pendant into his hand. His eyes were glittering with triumph, and he was overwhelmed with

exhilaration.

He used 10 million dollars to buy the emerald pendant that was worth 200 million dollars. He had made a killing!

When Mrs. Labenz saw they had successfully acquired the emerald pendant, she was overjoyed and said, “Felicia, I remembered that I still have something to do at the company. We’ll leave first.”

With that, she pulled Harry along and quickly left the villa. She got into her Mercedes-Benz and left without even giving Felicia a chance to bid her farewell

After Mrs Labenz left. Felicia turned around and glared at Haylan. She picked up the feather duster on the table and reprimanded, “Haylan Jaber, tell me, what’s wrong with you? How much did you lose?”

She raised her feather duster to hit Haylan.

She had to teach this wastrel a lesson!

At this moment, Haylan took an emerald pendant from his pocket. His eyes were bright and confident. He smiled and said, “Mom, don’t be anxious Look, what is this?”

Felicia was stunned “What’s going on? Why is there an identical emerald?”
