Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 41

Daniel sneered coldly.

In contrast, the others were eagerly waiting for the cutting to finish.

Feeling smug, Bryson was accepting compliments from those around him. As the machine finished cutting, he quickly walked over. But his expression suddenly froze.

"T-This can't be!" Bryson exclaimed in shock.

Selena quickly walked forward and pushed Bryson aside. Then, she took out the raw stone from inside.

The much-anticipated imperial green was gone.

Although there was still plenty of emerald inside, it was filled with countless broken white emerald pieces. As for the imperial green, it was just a thin layer.

In the industry, this situation is called "plaster skin". This meant there was only a thin layer with some value, but not much.

Given the current situation, it was worth not even 200,000 dollars, let alone two million dollars.

Selena held the stone and collapsed to the ground. "How could this happen? I told you not to cut it and just sell it! You damn fool insisted on cutting it! What are we going to do now? My two million dollars! My store!"

When she mentioned the two million dollars, Selena suddenly looked up at Daniel.

"It's you! You scammed me!" She immediately lunged at Daniel, her long nails outstretched.

A look of disgust flashed in Daniel's eyes as he raised his hand and slapped her face. "Get away, you crazy woman!"

Everyone was shocked by the murderous intent emanating from him.

Selena was stunned. She didn't think Daniel would actually hit her.

Daniel kept his gaze fixed on her and picked up the notarized document nearby. "Are you stupid? Have you forgotten this is no longer your store?"

The reason Selena did that was simply because Pamela had been more beautiful and graceful than her. That was all.

Daniel didn't hesitate for a second as he yelled, "Get out of my store! Now!"

Understanding the situation, the others quickly exited the store.

Selena's face twisted into a grimace. "You can make me leave, but you have to return my money! Otherwise, I will make sure you don't get away with it!"

Bryson also reacted. "So, you're Jennifer's idiotic husband. How dare you shout at us? You're looking for death!"

Daniel turned his head, and his vicious gaze instantly froze Bryson in place.

Ethan cleared his throat and spoke up, "I was a witness to what just happened. You made a bet, and you lost. No matter where this is said, that's the way it should be."

Bryson pointed at Ethan and cursed, "Who do you think you are to speak here, you old man?"
