Larissa said plainly, "We're guests. Is this how you host your guests?"Winston waved at them impatiently. "This isn't a place for kids. Leave this instance!""I'd buy if you actually had anything good. But I can't find anything appealing here," said Larissa with a prideful expression. Winston laughed and said, "You're pretty convincing. Fine, then. Come with me, I'll show you the good stuff."There was another room around the corner.A gemstone deposit that weighed about 800 pounds was lightly sliced at its top. It showed the deep, pure green color underneath. This was the best deposit among all the deposits here.Many people were talking about it."The color is such a pure, vibrant green. This will definitely sell well.""Do you think it'd be an Imperial Opal?""Of all these deposits, this is the only one that can yield the Imperial Opal.""No way. It's been years since Ambrollum City last yielded an Imperial Opal.""If you're not bidding for it, I will!"Soon, the aucti

Many people wanted to clap for Larissa's calm posture.But after hearing what she said, they shook their heads. She was too arrogant!A peacemaker tried to ease the situation, "Mr. Stonehart, she's just a young lady. Don't mind her, it won't look good on you."Somebody tried to tell Larissa, "Young lady, what do you know about gemstones? Hurry and apologize to Mr. Stonehart. He's a merciful man, he will forgive you.""Don't stop her, let her continue," said Winston.He looked at Larissa with an arrogant expression. "You're young, but you're brave! Do you happen to have some know-how?"The crowd signaled Larissa to keep quiet.But Larissa nodded and said, "Yeah, I do.""How shameless of you!" Winston's gaze turned cold. "You dared to lay hands on my niece on my grounds and spout baseless claims."He continued, "Since you're friends with Ms. Lancaster, I can let you go. Give yourself ten slaps, and you can get out of here! Otherwise, even if Mr. Lancaster showed up, I won't show

"Yes, you lost!" Ella scoffed and declared loudly, "Unless you can present an Imperial Opal, you've lost!"You not only have to let me slap you ten times, but also compensate for Uncle Winston's loss!"Fiona chimed in, "You're too obsessed with that Imperial Opal! We were betting on the price going up, while you thought it would drop."Now that Larissa has successfully opened a gemstone, the price is going up. But you won't admit it and want us to pay? Seriously?"Ella provocatively looked at Larissa and said, "Since this is Uncle Winston's place, I have the final say. What do you say? Dare to bet?"Larissa sighed and reluctantly said, "Maybe we should just forget it."Ella wasn't going to miss out on this great opportunity. She declared loudly, "If these three gemstones can sell for a hundred dollars, I'll kneel before you and call you 'daddy'!"Larissa shook her head and sighed, "Let's not do it. The stakes are too high."Ella's eyes sparkled. "If you didn't have the guts to

Fiona was speechless. She asked Larissa in disbelief, "Larissa, did I hear that right? Someone's offering 80 million dollars for your emerald?"It's really 80 million dollars, not eight thousand dollars, right?"She couldn't believe it. What was once a cheap purchase of leftover stones for a hundred thousand dollars had now skyrocketed to 80 million dollars!Those people were even on the verge of fighting over it.Fiona gulped, finally realizing why they said the world of gemstone gambling was a rollercoaster of fortune and despair. In the blink of an eye, one could go from rags to riches or vice versa.Winston was seething at those trying to outbid him.Suppressing his frustration, he said, "Ms. Larissa, I'm willing to offer 85 million dollars. I hope you can consider selling the emerald to me."The person who had bid 80 million dollars was getting anxious and wanted to bid higher. Winston gave his security team a single glance and they quickly brought him away.As no one else

Anna was in a comical state, the sauce dripped down her face with a chicken wing hanging on her hair, dumbfounded."How dare you!"Larissa tilted her chin."Because Mr. Hamilton dotes on me."She played the role of the evil mistress to the fullest, driving Anna crazy. Anna rushed forward on impulse attempting to hit Larissa. 　Larissa moved in uncanny motions, eerily ahead and unpredictable. In the kitchen of over 100 square meters, she was in control, leading Anna around in a playful manner.Now and then, Larissa would pause to knock Anna's head with a ladle or sprinkle a handful of pepper on Anna's face. Anna looked very disheveled with a chicken wing stuck in her hair, her face covered in pepper, and her body coated in flour.She screamed in anger, "Bitch! Stop! I won't let you go!" Ambrose dried his hair with the towel as he walked downstairs after his bath. He planned to check on Larissa's cooking progress. As he reached the kitchen door, his expression changed. The
