Chapter 352
“Mr. Lloyd has shown us what true stone gambling mastery means by turning something seemingly worthless into something miraculous,” Elsie concluded.
The crowd erupted into an unstoppable frenzy, repeatedly chanting, “Mr. Lloyd!” His reputation as a master was cemented in thousands of minds.
Countless eyes gazed at him with intense admiration, though many found it hard to comprehend that Andrew was still just a young man. They wondered how someone so young could build such an impressive reputation in antiquities and stone gambling, making them question if some people were truly born under lucky stars.
“I lost… I lost again,” Aspen laughed bitterly, her face deathly pale. The higher her confidence had soared before, the more crushing her defeat felt now.
Typically, as the proud heiress of Bridgefields’ Stevens family, Aspen would never admit defeat. However, Andrew’s final move with the Blood Phoenix Cicada completely shattered her pride and confidence.
She no longer doubted whether Andrew’s success was mere luck. Instead, Aspen deeply realized that both Orion, who had knelt before Andrew, and herself, who had lost twice, had made the same mistake—they had failed to see that Andrew was a true master of antiquities who had been hiding his talents all along.
Aspen growled icily, “This humiliation will haunt me forever. Andrew, you may have won today with your superior skills, but life isn’t just about antiquities. This isn’t over—we’ll see what the future holds!”
With those words thrown at Andrew, Aspen quickly fled the scene. Staying even a second longer would have insulted her pride as the Stevens family’s golden girl.
“Aspen, are you alright?” Christina asked, deeply worried about her cousin’s state.
Even Christina’s own composure was crumbling as she watched her former flame shine brilliantly like a diamond.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Aspen replied grimly as she left the auction. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number she had not used in a long time.
Aspen said with a cold laugh. “Hello, remember me? Your old classmate, Aspen Stevens. I just attended the Jayrodale auction and lost nearly 100 million dollars. You must understand what it means for someone of my expertise to lose that much?”
Her voice, dripping with venom, continued, “That’s right—fraud and insider manipulation. I suspect two people in particular: Elsie Santana, that belle of Radiant Group who’s betrayed her position, and a fraud named Andrew Lloyd who worked with her to con me. The money isn’t the issue, but I won’t let the Bridgefields’ Stevens family name be tarnished. So, the choice to help is yours.”

A man’s angry voice thundered through the phone, “Don’t worry, Aspen. I won’t let them get away with your money or their crimes. Just wait, I’ll dispatch officers immediately and get justice for you. We’ll see who dares to mess with you!”
