“Okay, that's enough! Drop the act!” Someone finally lost his patience at the sight of Jonathan putting on an act with the elderly man, going back and forth. “Do you really think that your worthless beer bottle can become a treasure by finding two extras to put on a show with you?”

Put on a show?

Realization immediately dawned on the crowd.

That's right! How could a useless man like Jonathan be able to come up with something worth a few hundred million?

“Josephine, I think you should divorce him quickly, considering his attitude. He's always exaggerating and lying, never speaking the truth! He hired someone to put on an act with him simply because he can't afford to give you an expensive gift! Isn't it simply humiliating?”

Hearing the crowd's perpetual condemnation, Josephine flushed bright red with mortification.

“Have you had enough, Jonathan? Get out of here with your worthless stone!” she ranted while pointing at Jonathan, foaming at the mouth.

“Fine. Since you don't want it, I'll just...”

All of a sudden, a crack rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the agate jadeite that was originally in Jonathan's hand fractured into several pieces and fell onto the ground.

A rare treasure worth a billion was shattered without warning.

“I prepared this gift for you in the first place. Since you don't want it, it has lost its value.” Jonathan wore an indifferent expression on his face.

“Have you lost your mind?” The elderly man was instantly shocked by the scene that unfolded right before his eyes. “That's the last piece of agate jadeite in this whole world!”

He was so indignant that he trembled all over. He rushed forward desperately and picked up the agate jadeite that had broken into several pieces.

“Why are you putting on a show when it's just a few pieces of worthless stones?” Seeing the elderly man's action, Alvin drew his leg back and kicked it forward.

He almost knocked the elderly man to the ground by a hair's breadth.

“Do you have a death wish, Alvin Langford?”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man behind the elderly man stalked forward and kicked Alvin to the ground.

“You know me?”

Fury clouded Alvin's face.

How dare he make a move against me despite knowing my identity? Is he sick of living?
