Chapter 1393 Rare Treasure Aurelia looked at Alfie with resentment and then back at the stone she had carefully selected. Despite being cut smaller and smaller, there was still no hint of new green. Aurelia's heart sank with it.
When the stone was only half its original size, the stonecutter stopped subconsciously, hesitating whether to continue cutting it.
Aurelia stared at the stone and said in a hoarse voice, "Keep cutting!" The cheers and flattery from those who sought Aurelia's favor gradually faded away as the stone got smaller and smaller.
In a moment of silence, the stone that was once the size of a table was finally fully cut. But there was no green left except for the palm-sized emperor green on the exposed corner.
It was a complete waste stone! Aurelia's vision went black, and she trembled, almost fainting on the spot.
She had spent seventy million dollars on a waste stone! Other than the top-quality blood beauty she had opened, the other jadeite she purchased were all ordinary, making it impossible for her to recover her investment.
Roughly calculating, she had lost over a billion dollars! This was a real bloodbath! Wyatt looked at Aurelia's devastated look and patted her shoulder, then turned his investigative gaze to Selena's face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGambling on stones was all about luck, and making mistakes was normal.
Compared to Aurelia's failure, he was more interested in how Selena managed to have a one hundred percent success rate.
"Miss Turner, it's your turn." With Wyatt's words, everyone's attention was drawn to Selena.
Obviously, Aurelia had lost in this gambling match! Even if Selena’s last stone was also a waste stone, she could still thoroughly crush Aurelia and the Soo family's face with the eight mutated jadeites she had opened.
Nicholas’ face was now black and frightening.
Amid the various expressions of the onlookers, Selena took a step forward while holding Osvaldo's hand and pointed to the only stone left on the ground in front of her. With a sweet smile, she asked, "This is the gift | picked for you. Do you like it?" Everyone's gaze then fell on that stone, and they exclaimed in surprise. "Ah, isn't this the turtle’?! That was the first stone Selena picked, and many people used it to mock her." But looking at the jade that Selena brought out and thinking about Miss Turner's picky nature, how could it be simple for her to choose a stone that caught her eye at first glance and give it to her boyfriend? At once, everyone's gaze on the stone became nervous and uneasy.
Aurelia trembled as she moved her gaze away.
How could such a misshapen stone produce good jade? This contradicted the knowledge she had gained over the past twenty years, so Aurelia couldn't imagine what kind of good jade could come out of this stone.
Osvaldo glanced at the "adorable" turtle and his lips curled slightly. "I like it." He knew how high his wife's standards were.
Anything she chose to give as a gift must be good.
Selena's smile became even sweeter as she pointed to the middle line on the back of the stone and said, "Cut along it and be gentle with the knife." As soon as she spoke, the young man helping Selena to extract the jade immediately started working and moved the stone up.
Given Selena's reliability, she had specifically instructed him to be gentle, so the young man was extremely light in his movements.
As the first cut was made, a bright black light shone into everyone's eyes.
The eyes of the crowd were momentarily dazzled by the light, and they instinctively closed their eyes and looked away.
Then, the group suddenly reacted and all turned their gazes back to the stone, their eyes becoming extremely hot.
What entered their eyes was a pitch-black black color. This black was very special, as if the whole sky had darkened, but it was also particularly transparent. Even though they were so far away, they could feel the indescribable transparency of that color.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"This is" Even Wyatt, who had been unchanging in expression, took a few steps forward in a panic. Aurelia trembled all over.
The young man extracting the jade breathed heavily, and his hands trembled a bit.
With the first cut revealing the jade, he didn't dare to use the jade-extracting machine, so he simply took a knife and ground it down bit by bit.
As the young man worked, more and more black spread out before everyone's eyes. Although no one at the scene recognized what kind of jade it was, everyone who saw it had one thought in their minds. A rare and precious treasure! Everyone stared without blinking until the black jade was completely extracted.
The young man held it in his palm and walked up to Selena, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Miss Turner, your jade..." Selena took the jade, observed it in her hand for a moment, and after confirming that it was good, she looked up at the man behind her and asked, "Would you like me to make a bracelet for you with it?" Osvaldo had nice hands.
Selena imagined how handsome he would look with a bracelet made from this jade on his wrist.
Osvaldo stared at the black jade, not reminding his wife that this type of jade was usually used for making Buddhist prayer beads.
The man lowered his dark lashes and smiled indulgently, "Okay." "I have seen this type of jade before," Wyatt's admiring voice suddenly came through, "in a very old and large family. There were a total of eleven, some large and some small.” "It was considered a family heirloom, and they called this type of jade 'Sky Pearl." | never thought that | would be able to see it opened in my lifetime." Selena handed the black jade to Leia to put away, then looked up at Wyatt and said, "You flatter me, Mr. Bennett." She glanced at Aurelia, whose already pale face had turned even paler, and then her gaze fell on the "turtle" on the ground, which had a piece of black jade missing from its back. She said with a smile, "I can only say that I'm lucky enough.” The young man who had extracted the stone looked at the "turtle" on the ground, with only a piece missing from its back, and asked, "Miss Turner, do you want to continue?" Selena shook her head, "No need." Even though Selena had seen many treasures, she couldn't help but sigh at how well this "turtle" had grown. Other than the missing piece of black jade on its back, everything else was empty. It truly concentrated all its essence in one place.
Hearing Selena's words, the hearts of the group of people who had been holding their breaths finally fell back into place.
It was fortunate that only a small piece was extracted. If an entire piece had been opened, someone might have been unable to resist the temptation and had some sinister thoughts.
Wyatt fixed his sharp gaze on Selena's face and asked, "Miss Turner, can you tell me how you picked this stone now?" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
