Unrivaled Dragon Lord

Chapter 47: Did I Let You Go?



Numerous people stared at Maxwell with a mocking impression, but Maxwell's expression remained unchanged. Greta's delicate and pretty face showed her anger, which was too much that her face looked blushed. She stared at Maxwell with her beautiful eyes, biting her lips... She felt that the biggest mistake she made today was bringing Maxwell to the dinner!

Young Master Sandoval stared at Maxwell meaningfully, and slowly said, "Mr. Maxwell, you have never bought a diamond for Miss Greta, yet you stay so calm... Don't you know what a diamond is?" Maxwell's eyes were slightly narrowed with anger... This so-called Young Master was mocking him for being ignorant by saying that he didn't even know what a diamond was!

Many people sneered. In their opinion, it was normal that Maxwell didn't know what a diamond was. Diamonds were something that belonged to rich people, not for some low-level class people who could only brag and show off.

"It is not the best diamond, why can't I keep calm?" Maxwell smiled lightly and responded immediately.

As soon as he said that, Young Master Sandoval's expression got so cold and serious that even the vibe around got cold. Many people didn't even dare to look at Young Master Sandoval.

Young Master Sandoval stared at Maxwell meaningfully. After a long time, he suddenly grinned. His smile was playful and meaningful, "Mr. Maxwell, if this is not the best diamond, what is the best diamond?" Maxwell lowered his head and glanced at the crystal clear blood diamond, and slowly said, "Blood diamond? Shit, this is not a blood diamond!"

Huh!

After Maxwell said that, the whole banquet got silent. Everyone turned around staring at Maxwell, and their expressions became more and more contemptuous.

"Who the hell are you to say that!"

"This is the blood diamond that Young Master Sandoval bought from South Africa. It was famous all over the world three years ago. Do you mean that Young Master Sandoval fooled President Greta with a fake one?"

"He is obviously making trouble. Mr. Sandoval should call the security guard to blast him out."

Someone spoke with irony.

Greta immediately felt it wrong, she said to Maxwell, "The gift given by Young Master Sandoval cannot be fake for sure. Don't talk nonsense."

Young Master Sandoval laughed loudly, "Interesting...Interesting... I spent tens of billions of dollars just to get a smile our beautiful Greta. Unexpectedly, there are still people who are being ignorant today by saying it is fake. Mr. Maxwell...I have to admire your imagination."

Maxwell looked up. He said calmly as if he was talking about a normal fact, "The blood diamond at the auction in South Africa three years ago was genuine, but yours is fake."

"Mr. Maxwell, this blood diamond has been appraised by the institution." Young Master Sandoval reminded, looking at Maxwell contemptuously.

"After the rough diamonds are excavated, they may encounter colored diamonds. And the rare colored diamond may find together with another diamond that is not as pure as the original diamond. We call those two diamonds as mother-child diamonds." Maxwell slowly opened his mouth. Greta looked at Maxwell thinking: This guy talked about nonsense again. I almost believed him.

"How come I have never heard of mother-child diamonds? I have been working in jewelry industry for decades. I have never heard of the saying that there are mother-child diamonds." The boss of the jewelry company sneered. His tone was ironic. He wanted to show that Maxwell was lying.

"The idea of mother-child diamonds originated in South Africa. And several top jewelry masters overseas have mentioned mother-child diamonds in private before. As for why you don't know... firstly, the chance of mother-child diamonds appearing is very small. Secondly, all the jewelry on you today add together is at most a million, which is not even enough for the value of a sub-diamond in a mother-child diamond. Do you deserve to know?" Maxwell glanced at the boss, which caused the boss tremble with a paled face.

Maxwell's glance was too harsh as if he could see through the boss's mind, causing the boss an illusion that he couldn't hide any secret in front of Maxwell.

"Interesting... continue." Young Master Sandoval smiled, looking at Maxwell with great interest.

"Long time ago, those jewelry masters had guessed that only a top-level diamond like blood diamonds would have a very small possibility of generating mother-child diamonds... and the biggest feature of mother-child diamonds is that both diamonds are extremely similar. The only difference is the sub-diamond is smaller and is not as pure as the other one." Maxwell continued, "This one looks like a sub- diamond. The diamond at the auction in South Africa was much larger than this one."

"Mr. Sandoval, you didn't go to the auction back then, did you? Your pricy diamond was probably changed by someone." Maxwell looked at Young Master Sandoval and asked.

Young Master Sandoval did not answer immediately but looked at Maxwell as if he wanted to remember vividly Maxwell's appearance. Then he began to applaud, "Wonderful, your story is magnificent. I almost believed it.."

Maxwell curled his lips and looked more serious, "I'm not joking."

"Mr. Maxwell, if I didn't go to the jewelry appraisal institution to appraise, I am afraid I would really believe what you said. However, the jewelry appraisal institution already gave me the certificate to prove this is the authentic blood diamond." Young Master Sandoval smiled lightly, but giving Maxwell an ironic expression, "Mr. Maxwell, it's a pity to be a driver with your eloquence."

Maxwell curled his lips and added seriously, "Whatever."

"Young Master Sandoval already has this blood diamond appraised. It must be authentic and real. He is just a driver who loves bragging and talking nonsense."

"He turns out to be President Greta's driver. Then what the hell is he doing here? Mother-child diamonds? I have seen countless diamonds, and I have never heard of such thing."

"He is just a liar. Maybe even President Greta has been fooled around by him."

The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing. Maxwell didn't try to explain anything. He didn't know if Young Master Sandoval did the appraisal or not, but he did know that Young Master Sandoval wanted to embarrass him.

At this moment, Greta, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, began to say something to save Maxwell out of the embarrassment. She smiled lightly, holding her glass, and said, "Mr. Sandoval, It's my first time here. Let's cheer."

Greta's face was originally beautiful and charming. When she smiled slightly, it was hard for any man to refuse her. Sandoval smiled. His wine glasses touched hers, and the awkward and tense atmosphere was quickly changed by Greta.

"Greta, I prepared another gift for you. Please accept it." Young Master Sandoval suddenly looked serious. He said with a calm tone.

Another one? Greta felt shocked. She pursed her lips and politely refused, "Young Master Sandoval, I am sorry. I really can't accept your gift."

"No, for this gift, please accept it." Young Master Sandoval took out a black card with a gold rim from his pocket. He bowed slightly and handed it to Greta with two hands.

"This is..." Greta felt slightly moved in her heart.

"There are five billion in it. President Greta, this is a small gift from me. Please accept it." Young Master Sandoval said, "If it is not enough, I will send more to this card." "Thank you Young Master Sandoval, but the Sandoval Group has been doing well recently. And this money is not needed." Greta explained slowly.

"Greta, everything is ok now. But it doesn't mean you don't need it later. As I know, the Sandoval Group will be in big trouble soon. You will need the money very soon." Young Master Sandoval took a sip of Lafite and explained to Greta.

Greta's heart lost one beat hearing this. She looked at Young Master Sandoval and started realizing what happened... Could this be the purpose of Young Master Sandoval coming here from Beijing? "What do you mean?" Greta frowned and asked.

"Recently, there are many companies that are intended to do something to the Sandoval Group. The Sandoval Group will have a big crisis soon." Young Master Sandoval slowly said.

"Only when the two of us are married, with the help of the Sandoval family and me, the Sandoval Group can survive from the crisis." Young Master Sandoval looked at Greta. He sounded certain and undeniable.

"The Sandoval family?" When Greta heard those three words, her tone suddenly became colder, "I left from the family for many years. Is the family still trying to take me back?"

"Greta, it's all over. Marrying me is good for you, me, and for the family. It's harmless." Young Master Sandoval's eyes were clear and pure, which made Greta feel zero malice from him. "Furthermore, the Sandoval family has been in Beijing for decades. From the overall situation, we will never allow those overseas companies to invade China's market!" he said with great fierceness like a king. "Overseas companies?" Greta's expression changed, she finally got what he meant.

"Yes, Greta, now not only the companies in Ocean City are interested in your company, but the ones from overseas also are. Soon, the Sandoval Group will be in danger of being besieged," Young Master Sandoval sounded serious, "Marring me is the only way to save the Sandoval Group. Otherwise...when the companies from Beijing start taking action, it would be too late for you." Greta's body trembled slightly, and her expression suddenly became complicated. She finally understood where this great crisis came from. What they wanted was the development rights of the port and airport from the Sandoval Group!

She finally understood why Hal was willing to sacrifice so much interest just to cooperate with the Sandoval Group. It turned out that the development rights of the port and airport were what he was aiming for. In an instant, Greta understood everything, including the assassination last time...

The Sandoval Group had been in a crisis out of her expectation. If it was not for Young Master Sandoval, Greta and Derrick would have not noticed it yet that there were so many threatens out there for them. It could be said that the Sandoval Group was now facing a life-and-death crisis. Young Master Sandoval was right. There was only one way at the moment to solve all the problems.

However, Greta made her decision with great wise. She would never agree to Young Master Sandoval. She knew clearly that Young Master Sandoval's purpose was no different from others. If she agreed, the Sandoval Group would have the same ending situation.

Thinking of this, Greta smiled lightly. She took a sip of the red wine, and said, "Young Master Sandoval, thank you for your reminder. But the Sandoval Group already has a solution for this situation." Young Master Sandoval's expression changed. He did not expect that Greta would reject him!

"Greta, you need to think about it. Don't refuse me now." Young Master Sandoval said slowly and coldly.

"No need for thinking more about it. I already thought it through. The Sandoval Group's troubles will be solved by ourselves. And we don't need other's help." Greta's tone also became cold. After speaking lightly, she drank her wine bottom-up, then walked towards the door of the banquet hall.

"Did I let you go?" Young Master Sandoval suddenly shouted out coldly.

Suddenly, the whole banquet hall became silent!

Greta, who was wearing a pair of stiletto heels, stopped when she saw two bodyguards who stood in the corner suddenly rushing towards her!

At this moment, Maxwell, who had drunk a lot of wine on the side, suddenly stepped forward to Greta, so quick that people could only see a black shadow.

"Boom-"

A steel whip swooped by, two bodyguards flew out one after another and spitted out blood!

"Greta, are you okay?" Maxwell asked gently.

"I'm fine, let's go." Greta shook her head.

"Go?" Young Master Sandoval looked at Greta coldly, so cold that all the people around him could feel the fierce and coldness. Suddenly the wine glass in his hand was instantly crushed by him! Hearing the sound of cracking wine glasses, countless bodyguards rushed in, surrounding Maxwell and Greta!
