Chapter 173: Valuable
Kira shivered at the look in her eyes; in her family, besides her grandfather, she was most afraid of her mother.
After Paula walked away, she followed behind and muttered, “What’s the big
deal? Claire got lucky last time and got a pink crystal, why did you scold
me? I am your daughter, not Claire!”
After they left, Claire walked towards the old man with the raw stone, “Sir, where did you get this stone?”
The old man mysteriously looked around, seeing that the onlookers were gone, he whispered, “This stone was bug out in a mountain in my hometown. There was
a naughty boy who took one of these, smashed it and found that there was something red inside. We don’t know much about these things, so I was asked by the villagers to come and see if anyone knows what this is.”
Claire was stunned, how could a kid smash such a hard stone open?
“I see…” she chuckled, “Okay, sir, I won’t take this stone from you for nothing. You should go to the hospital for a checkup first, I’ll go see you when things are done over here.”
The old man now trusted Claire, he could tell Claire was a kind person, besides, even if Claire didn’t come to see him, it didn’t matter, he had already given the stone to her.
“It’s fine. I need to leave now.”
Victor himself assisted the old man out, and Claire looked at their backs, smiling with her eyes curved.

“Sir.”
Her voice was gentle, but with palpable pleasure, “Should we call it a pleasant surprise or is it the reward for being kind?”
Sean looked over at her with a smile, “What? Is there anything valuable in
this stone?”
Claire put her hand on his shoulder and smiled with a raised eyebrow, “It’s not an emerald, but it’s valuable.”
It piqued Julia’s interest and she asked curiously, “Claire, what is it? What
is it?”
Claire smiled mysteriously, “You will know it soon.”
“Claire!”
Julia followed her, pouting and asked in curiosity, “Just tell me, I really
want to know.”
Claire smiled but said nothing, she didn’t say anything now because she wanted to shock the whole audience when the stone was opened later!
The Jade Chamber of Commerce had come to an end, most of the merchants I begun to pack up their things, and those buyers had gathered in the stone opening room to open the raw stones they had bought and to see who would get the best stone today.
This was the most exciting thing for almost every jewelry collector, even if they didn’t get the best stone, it was fun to see it with their own eyes who got it.

After Paúla and Kira left, they took the raw stones they bought to the stone opening room, and cut open three of them in a row, all of which did have emeralds inside, but the value was lower than the price.
Paula sat gracefully in the stands, even with the loss, she looked calm.
Kira, however, was furious and cursed Claire every time a stone was cut open.
“That damned Claire! She set me up for sure!”
“What is this? Five million dollars for this? Claire, you bitch!”
Zayn stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at her and smiling, “What are you doing cursing my boss for something you bought yourself?”
“It’s your boss’s fault!” Kira was so furious that she wanted to kill Zayn!
“Claire is devious and cunning, you are just like her! You are all like her!”
“Huh…”
Zayn stretched out his left hand and blew his finger leisurely, “It’s not
like we forced you to buy them, you’re the one who took them from us and now you’re blaming us? How could there be someone so unreasonable?”
“You!”
Kira’s hands clenched into fists as the last of her stones was opened.
Zayn’s eyes widened and he stood up straight, “Geez, I can’t believe there’s an emerald in that. Ms. Summers, you are lucky!”
Kira turned her head to see it. It was the raw stone that she spent three million dollars to hoy it Innkart quite his hut there was only such a small
Chapter 173: Valuable.
Her heart thumped and she was at a loss, so what if there was an emerald?
It was too small and it wasn’t one of the best kinds.
She lost a great deal today.
A woman’s curious voice suddenly came to her ears, “Did you get something good?”
This voice…
Kira turned around and cursed angrily, “Claire, how dare you come here!”
“Why can’t I come?”
Claire glanced at her and walked over to put her hand on Zayn’s shoulder, “Have our stones been opened yet?”
“Certainly not!”
Zayn raised his hand and pointed to the two carts by his side, “I have been
waiting for you.”
“Good!” Claire smiled in satisfaction, “Let’s see them.”
Zayn chuckled and walked over towards his carts, annoyed that Kira was in the
way, he shoved her, “Don’t stand here since you are finished. It’s our
turn.”
“Ch!” Kira snorted in disgust, “I’m not leaving, I want to see what kind of junk you have bought!”
Zayn smiled and gave the carts to the stone opener, “Sir, please open these
for us thank you”

“Ch!” Kira snorted in disgust, “I’m not leaving, I want to see what kind of
junk you have bought!”
Zayn smiled and gave the carts to the stone opener, “Sir, please open these
for us, thank you.”
The stone opener didn’t have any high hopes. There hadn’t been anything rare and these stones Zayn had gotten looked ordinary. He expressionlessly put the
one of the top under the machine.
The first piece was opened, it was good in both its color and transparency. Zayn proudly said in front of Kira, “I only spent two hundred thousand on
this one. It’s a great deal.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Kira’s face reddened and she pursed her lips tightly without speaking.
The second piece was opened, and there was an emerald inside. It was one of
the few with clear color and shape, so it could be considered to be a
middle–to–high–grade one.
Zayn looked at Claire, “Boss! I only paid a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for this piece!”
Claire smiled and raised her hand to stroke his head, “Good job.”
