An Understated Dominance Chapter 377
"That gem!" Dustin was full of excitement at the appearance of the red gemstone. He had resigned himself to leaving empty-handed today, but as luck would have it, he chanced upon another treasure. "Hmph, what a country bumpkin. What's so exciting about a red gemstone?" Taking in the excited look on Dustin's face, Jayla looked at him in contempt. "I've got plenty of those at home. Only a country bumpkin like you who hasn't seen the world will think it's special."Dustin ignored her and focused his gaze on the red gemstone on stage. Its surface was colored a blood-like deep crimson, and its shape was similar to a calabash. On the surface, it looked ordinary. However, its desirability lay in its size, and after some processing, it would undoubtedly turn out to be invaluable. In the eyes of a professional jeweler, this was definitely the finest red crimson. Roderick was confused. "Mr. Rhys, do you like it?" Dustin didn't seem like someone who would covet precious stones, especially wi

Roderick continued bidding."One billion." Jayla showed no signs of letting up. As she was deliberately targeting the gem, the price of the red gemstone hit the billion-dollar mark, which had far exceeded the valuation of the gemstone. It would be a great loss for the winning bidder. "It seems like they've come head-to-head with each other.""I have a bad feeling something is going to happen to Big Buck Brooks for offending Ms. Grant.""He's just wealthy. How does he have the guts to challenge such a prominent family?"The crowd pointed and gossiped fervently, clearly enjoying the farce. "1.5 billion dollars." Roderick raised his paddle again, boldly increasing the bid by 500 million dollars. "1.6 billion dollars." Jayla continued challenging him head-on. "Two billion dollars!" Roderick then told her in an impassive tone, "Ms. Grant, if you raise it again, I'll let you have it."Jayla was about to raise it when she froze. She wasn't interested in the red gemstone. It woul

Jayla finally realized she had been miserably deceived. However, she only had herself to blame for her mistake. Of course, with the power the Grant family held, she could demand a refund from the auctioneer. But if she did that, she would be badly criticized. She couldn't afford to be humiliated as such. For the sake of her reputation, she could only swallow her resentment. Roderick added insult to injury. "Ms. Grant, it seems like the item that cost you a fortune isn't that precious after all.""You can't say that. Even though it's lacking a few years, it's still considered a precious treasure." The man in the long-sleeved shirt attempted to diffuse the situation. "Did you hear that? Even if it's lacking, it's still precious!" Color returned to her expression.Dustin smiled. "I'd like to ask. What's the value of a 900-year green lotus?" He looked troubled and answered with difficulty, "Based on its effectiveness and age, it should be around three to four hundred million.""Wh

"That's right. Only people like you would foolishly spend two billion on a red gemstone like that." "I like to call them rich airheads."The crowd pointed and murmured, gossiping among themselves. It seemed to them that Dustin was a prime example of a stubborn man who couldn't accept defeat. It was clear that he had suffered a loss but was still trying to show off without merit. "Do you hear that? I'm not the only one who thinks you're an idiot. Everyone else thinks the same." Her lips curled up into a smirk. "Really?" Dustin smiled faintly. "It seems like no one has realized this is not an ordinary red gemstone. It's an extremely rare Crimson Gem.""What's a Crimson Gem? I've never heard of it." Jayla pursed her lips in disdain. "That's fine. Allow me to enlighten you today." As he said that, he smashed the gemstone with his palm. Everyone present heard two cracking noises as two visible crack lines formed on the surface. In the blink of an eye, the cracks spread across t

"Why? Just why!" Jayla burned with jealousy. If she had known the gemstone was hiding a priceless treasure, she would never have sold it. In the end, it ended up in the hands of a country bumpkin! What a loss!"What a turn of events. This is such a blessing!" Dustin held the Flower of Crimson Gem up in one hand, the corner of his lips curling up into a wide smile. From the moment he laid eyes on the gemstone, he knew it was hiding something exceptional. Just as he expected, he had discovered a true treasure. The Flower of Crimson Gem was not an ordinary flower. It was an extremely rare treasure. Typically, it could only be found in red gemstones. And it just so happened that the red gemstone on auction today was a Crimson Gem.Previously, he felt regretful thinking about the 900-year green lotus. However, the appearance of the Flower of Crimson Gem came as a blessing and a happy surprise. At least he didn't travel all the way here for nothing. "Ms. Grant, don't you think a pri

The next day, back at Swinton, a convoy of luxury cars drove into Park Palace in a grandiose display. As their procession moved through the streets, it left a lasting impression of power and splendor. By the entrance, the entire Harmon family had been waiting, with Jessica in the lead. As the vehicles came to a stop, Jayla, who was dressed in luxurious clothing, was the first to disembark with an arrogant look on her face. "Jayla, you're here! Please, come in." Jessica greeted her with a smile and a welcoming attitude. The person she was greeting was Tyler's sister. Her standing among the entire Grant family was not to be taken lightly. Jayla nodded in response. "Jessica, long time no see. Where's Natasha? Why don't I see her?""She's inside getting ready. She won't take much longer," Jessica explained with a smile."Jayla, I prepared something for you when I found out you were visiting. Have a look." At that moment, Quentin, who was standing beside them, took out a sapphire

Everyone stood in shock at her words. No one could believe Natasha dared say that. "Natasha? What nonsense are you spouting? Are you sleep talking?!" Jessica gave her a look.Natasha said calmly, "I'm fully awake, and I am well aware of what I just said. It is regrettable, but I need to express my feelings today. Tyler and I are unsuited for each other." "Natasha, what do you mean by this?" Jayla's brow knitted. A slightly uneasy feeling crept up within her. "I'm backing out of this marriage." Just like that, Natasha dropped the bomb. "You're backing out?" Jayla's expression darkened at her words. She snapped at her. "Natasha Harmon, are you insane?! How dare you break off a union with the Grants? The audacity!"Jessica warned, "Natasha, stop your nonsense. You can't say those things lightly!"The Grant family was part of the Tremendous Three. Whether it was their connections or their legacy, the Grants surpassed the Harmons in every aspect. Especially with Tyler, the excep

"Natasha Harmon! What's wrong with you? Who gave you the green light to call off the marriage?" Once Jayla left, Jessica finally unleashed her temper. The marriage concerned the fate of their family, and she would not allow Natasha to do as she wished."Natasha, do you know how lucky you are to be able to marry Tyler Grant? What are you doing? Calling off the marriage?" Quentin felt like he was staring at a fool. Tyler Grant was the cream of the crop of the Southern province and the hope of Dragonmarsh. Before he hit thirty, he had been appointed as a general who led tens of thousands of men. Young and talented, he was deemed the best bachelor, and women fell on his feet in admiration.To their dismay, Natasha had no interest in Tyler at all, which everyone thought was dumb."I will have the final say in my marriage. I have no feelings for Tyler, and I won't marry him," she replied calmly. In the past, she would have accepted an arranged marriage in the interest of the Harmon Family
