Chapter 622For a moment, the stone cutter hesitated to continue cutting the stone.After a while, he picked up a signal from Lewis and continued his work.His cutting movements were much more cautious than before.While the others were shocked, Harriet remained calm.She smiled at Lily and said, "Miss Lynch, I don't think we'll need an appraisal. Everyone here can tell whose stone is more valuable."Lily's eyes glinted with malice, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.Although she didn't know much about gems, judging by the expressions of those around her, she could guess that Harriet's stone produced a better gem.Harriet won this bet.Lily had made all the necessary preparations, and the salesperson had introduced all the raw stones capable of producing precious gems to her.'Why do I still lose in the end? Why is Harriet so lucky? It can't be!' She thought.She wondered why the salesperson hadn't introduced the stone selected by Harrie

Chapter 624Just as Harriet was about to refuse, another person stepped forward."Your offer is too low! Are you trying to take advantage of this lady's ignorance? Ms. Munoz, I'm willing to buy this gem for five million dollars. If you're willing to see, we can negotiate the price," he said.The venue then descended into chaos.The people started to make bids, each offering a higher price than the previous one.They acted as if they were in an auction house.The only difference was the absence of an auctioneer. It was noisier there, and the prices went up faster.In just a short while, the price had soared to 90 million dollars.In the venue, the subordinates of many important figures started calling their bosses to inform them about the extraordinary gem that had appeared there.Everyone had only one thought in mind. To get the gem!They didn't care if Harriet had cheated or about her bet with Lily.All they knew was that the gem they desired was in Harriet's hands. As long

It seemed that Harriet and Lily held old grudges against each other and now they had more.‘If I could belittle Lily in front of Harriet, making Harriet's enemy lose face, it’ll definitely please Harriet!’With that thought, the man who was the first to approach Harriet to buy the jewel instantly switched to a look of righteous indignation.He addressed Lily directly, "Miss Lily, you cheated first, and then falsely accused others, even spouting malicious words. Is this the kind of upbringing befitting a lady of the Lynch family? I never expected such a noble house could raise someone with such malevolent intentions! I wonder if the ancestors of the Lynch family can rest in peace seeing this scene!"As soon as the man finished speaking, other people around started to voice their criticism of Lily.In an instant, everyone in the venue looked at Lily with disdain and disgust.Lily was practically going mad with anger.She had never faced such universal contempt and public accusatio

There was only one thought in her mind: revenge against Harriet, to make Harriet as embarrassed as she was.After missing her target, Lily steadied herself and lunged at Harriet again with renewed vigor."Harriet, I'll make sure to quell your arrogance today!"As Harriet was about to dodge again, Delbert, quick as lightning, extended his arm and pressed Lily down to the ground, signaling Lewis and the employees of the gems trading center to restrain her.Delbert looked at Lily with disdain, his brows slightly furrowed.The worry in his eyes seemed to be for his clothes that might get dirty from touching Lily.He had a thing about cleanliness. Especially towards fools like Lily, it was more pronounced.This cleanliness obsession only disappeared when he dealt with Harriet.Delbert looked up at Lily with disdain and scoffed coldly without any mercy,"Is this the daughter of the Lynch family in Imperium? What an eye-opener! The esteemed daughter of the Lynch family acting like a

Every person present had an eagerness in their eyes, almost unanimously asking, "Miss Harriet, who do you plan to sell this piece of jewel to?"The price of that exquisite piece of jewel had now escalated beyond 9 million and reached over 10 million in the never-ending bidding war, with an upward trend still visible.The truth was that 10 million dollars were almost equivalent to the annual income of many company bosses.And here was Harriet, a young girl who had earned it in less than an hour.Even they were envious of Harriet's luck!They weren’t at all worried that Harriet wouldn't be able to sell this exquisite piece of jewel!With a fortune of 10 million close at hand, who wouldn't take it? But the next second, Harriet's response shocked everyone present.Harriet nonchalantly took the jewel from Delbert's hand, her lips parting slightly to utter a few words that instantly drove everyone into a frenzy, "Sorry, I'm not selling this jewel!"Not selling?What was all their
