71.Fooling Idiots

Since Bidegla wanted to act, she also joined in.

"Hmm." When the man saw the jade that Bidegla was pointing at, a cold smile appeared on his face. Then, after looking at Jennie Laura and Bidegla, and confirming that they had no connection, he said, "We can gamble, but I'm afraid you can't come up with that much money."

"Money is certainly not a problem. There are two million in this card, I'm more concerned that you can't come up with the money." Bidegla took out a card from her pocket and placed it on the glass counter.

"Hmph." The man snorted, then took out a genuine leather wallet from his pocket and pulled out a bank card, tossing it onto the glass counter, saying, "There's one million in here, and it can be overdrawn by another million."

"Since you have money, I can rest assured." Bidegla smiled, then turned to Jennie Laura and said, "Jennie, this gentleman wants to give you something. Do you want it or not?"

"What?" When the man saw Bidegla calling the beautiful Jennie "Jennie", he panicked and tried to take the bank card back.

But he was no match for Bidegla's speed, and almost at the moment he reached out, Bidegla had already grabbed the two bank cards. The bet had been made, how could he try to back out?

"I'm sorry, this gentleman. She is indeed my girlfriend." Jennie Laura spoke at this moment, with an apologetic expression on her face.

Upon hearing Jennie Laura's words, the man's face turned pale. He knew he had been deceived this time. He had wanted to show off in front of the beautiful woman, but now he had completely made a fool of himself.

He took a few steps back, pointing at Bidegla with his finger, and said in an almost bloodthirsty voice, "You're cheating!"

"Which eye of yours saw me cheating?" Bidegla smiled slightly, her voice turning cold. Trying to compete for a woman with him? That's asking for trouble.

"I absolutely will not give you this money." The man yelled, about to grab the bank card from Bidegla's hand.

This created quite a spectacle, and all the people in the store turned to look at them, with puzzled expressions.

"Hmm, whether you give it or not is not up to you. As the saying goes, 'Those who gamble must be willing to accept the consequences.' Since you can afford to gamble, it means you can afford to lose." As she spoke, Bidegla kicked the man out and said to Ean Hooper, "Swipe 1.2 million from this card."

"This...?" Looking at the bank card in Bidegla's hand, Ean Hooper was in a dilemma. She could tell that Bidegla may have forced the other party to give her the card.

"Don't hesitate. If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility. Swipe 1.2 million from here first." Bidegla impatiently said, then placed the card in front of Ean Hooper.

"Alright." Since Bidegla was the guarantor, what else could Ean Hooper say? She quickly took the bank card to the card reader and, with a swipe, deducted 1.2 million from it.

"My money!" Watching Ean Hooper's smooth and swift actions, the man felt like his heart was bleeding. Losing 1.2 million for nothing, even a small sum was unacceptable to him.

For the sake of pride, he suddenly lost 1.2 million, and what's more infuriating was that this couple were clearly just acting to swindle his money. How could he accept that?

"I'll fight you." Suddenly, a ferocious look appeared on the man's face as he tried to rush up and grab Bidegla by the neck.

However, with his meager skills, he was no match for Bidegla, and she easily kicked him out.

"Sir, there's no need to continue seeking trouble. Take your bank card and leave," Bidegla said, tossing his bank card in front of him. "My patience is limited. If you don't leave, don't blame me for escorting you out."

Bidegla's words were understated, but they startled the man. He was beginning to understand the extent of Bidegla's power.

In keeping with the principle that a brave man does not suffer losses, the man picked up his card and gave Bidegla a fierce look, saying, "You just wait."

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

With that, he scrambled to his feet and ran, as if afraid that Bidegla would come after him again.

"I'll be waiting," Bidegla said, showing no hint of fear at the sight of the man fleeing, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Everything will be fine, won't it?" Jennie Laura asked, watching the man flee in fear, with some concern.

Although she felt uncomfortable being harassed, Bidegla had just swindled him out of a substantial sum of money in the blink of an eye. This was no small amount.

"Hmph, he's just a fool. Do you doubt my methods, Jennie?" Bidegla smiled, paying no attention.

"Still, be careful," Jennie Laura naturally knew just how powerful Bidegla's methods were, even terrifying. He had once used a fork to nail someone's hand to a table, so bloody acts were nothing to him. What did he have to fear?

"Here, let me help you put on the necklace." Bidegla spoke, then took the jade worth one million two hundred thousand from Jennie Laura's hand and placed it on her.

It must be said that no matter what Jennie Laura wore, be it clothes or jewelry, on her it all looked naturally perfect.

When most people wear jade, it exudes a strong aura of wealth, serving only to show off. But when worn by Jennie Laura, her grace was completely highlighted.

The kind of noble and almost untouchable sacred aura, like a celestial being in the heavens, made men unable to look away and women feel ashamed. She was simply a woman perfect in every way.

Just a simple piece of jewelry made Jennie Laura even more noble, and almost everyone in the store had their eyes on her.

"Jennie, you look so beautiful," Bidegla sincerely remarked, with a hint of pride.

No matter how beautiful Jennie Laura was, she was still his girlfriend, and with such a beautiful girlfriend, Bidegla felt very satisfied.

"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing Bidegla praise her in front of so many people, Jennie Laura's face reddened slightly, secretly pleased.

"Honey, I want to buy that jade as well." At this moment, a beautiful woman shook a man's arm and coquettishly said.

One piece of jade had caused a tremendous change in Jennie Laura's grace, so the customers in the store were also clamoring to buy it. This was a live example in front of them.

"Darling...I..." Hearing his wife's coquettish voice, the man's face showed a pained expression. It wasn't that he didn't want to help his wife buy it, it was just that the one Jennie Laura was wearing was too expensive. One million two hundred thousand was no small sum.

"Will you buy it?" Seeing that her husband seemed unwilling to buy it, the beautiful woman also became unhappy, saying, "If you don't buy it for me today, we'll go to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll buy it." Pressed to this extent by his wife, the man had no choice but to take action, especially with so many people watching. He couldn't lose face.

"Madam, I would also like to purchase a piece of jade similar to yours," the man said to Jennie Laura as he led his wife into Bidegla's presence.

"Certainly, please wait a moment," Jennie Laura replied, momentarily surprised before retrieving a matching piece from the glass display case.

"Will you be paying by card or in cash, sir?" Jennie Laura inquired with a professional smile on her face.

"By card, please," the man replied, a hint of reluctance flickering across his face as he reluctantly pulled out his bank card from his wallet.

As Jennie Laura handed the bank card back to the man, he swiftly grabbed the exquisite box containing the jade and abruptly dragged his wife out of the jewelry store.

"If we lingered here any longer, I fear I would have to leave my trousers behind," the man thought to himself as he left the store with his wife.

Only after the man and his wife departed the jewelry store did the others inside realize what had happened and rush over to Jennie Laura, clamoring to purchase the same jade pendant she was wearing.

Witnessing this scene, Bidegla widened her eyes in astonishment, inadvertently facilitating numerous transactions.

For many, one hundred and twenty thousand was a substantial sum, but these individuals were frantically making purchases, as if afraid of missing out.

However, Bidegla soon understood that those who could afford to browse there were not poor; while one hundred and twenty thousand might be a fortune to the average person, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket to these individuals.

The frenzy of purchases nearly depleted the stock of the jade pendants worn by Jennie Laura.

Yet, the substantial performance results spoke for themselves – in just over ten minutes, sales had already reached ten million, indicating that several dozen pieces of the one hundred and twenty thousand jade pendant had been sold.

Once the frenzy subsided, Jennie Laura breathed a sigh of relief, remarking on the sheer madness of the situation and the apparent fear of missing out on buying something costly.

"Hehe, wasn't my contribution the greatest this time?" Bidegla said, approaching Jennie Laura with a mischievous grin.

"Yes, your contribution was indeed significant," Jennie Laura replied, rolling her eyes at Bidegla before sitting down and wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"By the way, Jennie, why haven't we hired anyone yet?" Bidegla looked around and noticed that there were only five staff members, including Jennie Laura, in the store, just as there had been when it first opened.

"It's not easy to find good help," Jennie Laura sighed, explaining, "Ever since the last incident, many people have been unwilling to apply here. And those who do apply are mostly inexperienced, requiring extensive training, which is not worth the effort."

"I see," Bidegla mused, his face showing a pensive expression, then he glanced at the exhausted Jennie Laura and said, "Forget about that; leave the hiring to me. I'll take care of it."

"You can find people to hire?" Jennie Laura's face registered surprise at Bidegla's words. In Zuhai City, there were not many jewelry stores aside from Laura's and Hualian. Was Bidegla planning to poach staff from Hualian Jewelers?

"Don't worry about that; I'll have people hired in no more than three days," Bidegla assured, a mysterious smile flickering across his face, making him seem inscrutable.
