Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Boss?

Patrick Grant glanced at Master Clark and said, "I know him."

Antonio Lewis smiled and said, "So, he’s an acquaintance of the boss."

"Brother Lewis, how come I heard that the boss of Lingzhu Jade is someone else?" Master Clark wasn’t there for a nostalgic chat.

He aimed to expose what Patrick Grant was up to and make him admit that he was setting him up!

Upon hearing this, Antonio Lewis glanced at Patrick Grant and then smiled, saying, "It seems like our boss really knows you, Master Clark. Indeed, our boss typically handles all business for Lingzhu Jade, but we have a big boss above him."

"However, the big boss has never been involved in business affairs, leaving everything to our boss to handle." Master Clark seized the key point in Antonio Lewis’s words — uninvolved.

"Brother Lewis, are you aware that Patrick Grant is privately selling raw jade materials outside?" Master Clark asked with a malicious smile.

"Privately selling raw materials?" Antonio Lewis was stunned, then hesitantly said, "Our boss wouldn’t do such a thing."

"Well, you never know. Just a few days ago, our stone betting venue acquired some raw materials through your Lingzhu Jade channels." Master Clark glanced at Patrick Grant and said, "Patrick used these raw materials to ruin me financially."

Antonio Lewis was baffled, looking confusedly at Patrick Grant.

Patrick Grant remained relaxed, slowly saying, "Isn’t losing money by buying raw materials quite normal? If everyone won, then everyone would invest in raw materials and do nothing else."

"I imagine if it were like that, jade artifacts would lose their value."

Patrick Grant’s explanation met with Master Clark’s cold sneer: "I certainly don’t care if I went broke losing; what concerns me is your unauthorized use of Lingzhu Jade’s materials to set me up. It’s unclear whether this is your first or second time, and whether your big boss is aware."

"Brother Lewis, don’t be afraid of him. You’re purging a threat to Lingzhu Jade." Master Clark looked at Antonio Lewis, whose face had turned grim, "Your big boss must possess a mineral vein exclusively supplying Lingzhu Jade; he probably doesn’t want an insider sabotaging his establishment."

"Moreover, Patrick’s schemes have been exposed. If you don’t inform your big boss, the news will inevitably reach him eventually. When that happens, you’ll be seen as withholding the truth, colluding with Patrick." Master Clark combined persuasion with intimidation.

"The relationship between our boss and the big boss is really good, I’m sure the big boss is aware of this." Antonio Lewis explained.

"Can you be certain?" Master Clark asked, "I suggest you contact your boss, otherwise... what if someone’s trying to embezzle funds?"

Antonio Lewis looked toward Patrick Grant, firmly saying, "Boss, I trust your character, but I want to report this matter to the big boss."

Patrick Grant nodded with a smile, "You should."

Master Clark was satisfied upon hearing this.

"Then, Mr. Lewis, when will you report to your big boss?" Mrs. Clark stepped forward, asking excitedly.

It was Mrs. Clark’s movement that revealed Sophie Wilson and Charles Seymour standing behind her.

"Boss?" Antonio Lewis exclaimed.
