Chapter 1390
"Forty-three million dollars?’ "This statue is worth forty-three million? That's absurd!"
The audience was utterly stunned to learn of the jadeite statue's worth. Although they all hailed from rich and
powerful families, 43 million was still not a small number, and they could not believe how generous Leon was to
turn down an offer of 43 million dollars just to use this jadeite for Patrick's birthday!
None of them ever heard of such generous behavior in their lives, not even amongst the major families!
"Splendid, absolutely splendid!" Patrick burst into laughter as all his disapproval toward Leon dissipated with this

display of generosity reflected well on him.
Elders like him placed utmost importance on their egos, and Leon successfully managed to make him and the rest
of the Scammells look good in front of everyone!
One could only imagine his joy!
"How could this be?" the color drained from Nigel's face as his heart sank. He looked forward to humiliating Leon

gasped in sudden realization.
"Oh, I heard of this too! I even heard that the stone gambler taught Willie Liberton a lesson and caused him to lose

However, all of them thought these were just rumors, and never once did they dream this would be true!

immediately shot Penny a questioning glance.
"What?"
"Well, when Leon was trying to bid for the Imperial Purple Amethyst, Willie deliberately messed with him and
caused him to end up bidding an extra fourteen or so million dollars to get the stone. Leon tried to get revenge by
deliberately hiking up the price for the third jadeite, which led Willie to fall for his trick and end up not only wasting
thirty million dollars but becoming the laughingstock of the town as well," Penny explained.
