"The jade stone has many characteristics. We can judge the internal condition of the jade stone according to these characteristics. Because from the perspective of petrology, the jade inside the jade stone has a certain correlation with the color of the outer skin. The characteristics of "songhua", "strap" and "skull" are important features for distinguishing the internal conditions of the jade stone."

Teresa came prepared equipped with very professional—an attitude to teach Ashley knowledge, but the look of smug and disdain in her eyes sold out her intentions.

Teresa was playing the knowledge of Ashley to show off his knowledge and satirize Ashley's ignorance.

Teresa continued with an attitude of a Holy Mother who took pity on an ignorant woman—Ashley. “I’m looking at Miss’ wool and there’s no sling, no loose flowers, no shackles, I’m afraid. It won't be green."

Because Teresa really made a lot of professional remarks, she was immediately appreciated by many people around her.

    While waiting for Scottie in her car, Ashley took this chance to open the file Allen had sent.First, Allen Jewelry would become Rosemary Jewelry. Second, she viewed the designs created by Allen’s team for the jewelry they would launch on their opening date. Third, Ashley set the date of their opening on the date after her filming which was set two months later.This would give Allen enough time to renovate the entire jewelry store.

    Dylan and Ashley arrived at the filming set located at the suburbs of YN City.The crew specially chartered a bus for them to go there together while the nanny vans of the celebrities were driven by their respective assistants or managers also known as agents.Inside an ordinary-looking white nanny van, Dylan drove while Ashley checked her things like makeup and cosmetics. She made sure to take off its labels since she did not endorse them in the first place. From time to time, Dylan would remind Ashley to continue her calm attitude.“You told me that countless of times already.” Ashley deadpanned. She glanced at the screen of her phone, still waiting for the progress bar of the download to be completed.Dylan could only bite his tongue. He was afraid that too much nagging would make Ashley rebel. Her current state was Dylan’s ideal especially how special this production for Ashley and his career as a manager!“Have you read the script?”“Done.”“Then… what do you think about Cecilia?

    “Hello.”Ashley’s cold voice made Jaxon pause for a split second. He frowned. A trace of displeasure flickered in him and he did not know why.“Where are you?”“I did not know that I have to give my itinerary to Mr. Elijah. You didn’t give me one before.” Sarcasm dripped in Ashley’s voice…then her next words were laced with impatience. “So, why did you call me?”Jaxon had the illusion that their roles were now reversed! His face dimmed immediately as his grip on his tightened, not liking this feeling of being uncontrolled.“The lawyer is drafting the divorce letter. About the alimony, my offer still stands—a real estate in your name and a hundred million dolla---.”Ashley cut him off midway. “If you want to discuss about the divorce, call my lawyer. If nothing else, I will have to continue filming.”Before Ashley could hang up, Jaxon immediately stated his reason why he called. “I want to remind you of my old man’s birthday. Don’t miss it.”Ashley, on the other side of the line, was n

    Ashley accepted the packed lunch distributed by the crew. After three weeks in the set, she and Dylan were already used to eat the packed lunches.Some days, the packed lunch would contain meat and carbohydrates. These were the times when Director Sloan was satisfied with the progress of the morning shooting. But when he was not, the packed lunch would only have some vegan dishes and carbohydrates…nothing more.This strategy of the director was indeed effective. Even Atasha dared not to be a demon, hence, the progress of the filming was astounding. If they would keep up in this pace, the shooting of the moving would end before two months.Maybe, they could review and edit the film before the Nobel Awards this December and the movie Unmasked could participate in it. Ashley also felt that Director Sloan was after the Nobel Awards. After all, this award ceremony was a good exposure for the film.“What will it be this time?” asked Dylan. There was fear and anticipation intertwined in his

When they were waiting for their flight in the airport lounge, Ashley curiously opened it.The box contained burrito and sandwich—enough for the two of them. Ashley smiled yet the smile did not reflect in her eyes.Thinking about the people of the mansion, sometimes, Ashley could not help but ponder about the complexity of human nature. She had lived to the point wherein she did not believe in romantic feelings anymore.Now, Ashley knew that only when she became powerful would she have the right to speak and to fight for her rights. The world was unfair. Although laws kept the social norm, the fact about the strong trampled the weak was true.In front of the behemoth like the Elijah Consortium, she was like an ant right now.

    The entire morning proceeded like nothing happened. Ashley still filmed smoothly without retake. If there were changes in it, it would be the additional presence of a small dumpling shuttling across the set like a fish in the sea.Right after the lunch, Ashley took one last scene before she accompanied Scottie to take a nap. She did not forget to set her alarm to 2:25 PM.The sound of the alarm woke up Ashley’s light sleep. Looking back at her son, seeing him sleep soundly, she let her wavy hair slid behind her back—messy and sexy. Before she went out, she made sure to use her just bought hot red lipstick.Instead of coffee, Ashley opened the specially prepared Laffite 1980 which she took secretly from Jaxon’s wine cellar before. Never thought that she would use this today to celebrate something evil.As someone who had walked straight out of hell, Ashley was no saint. Instead, she was no hypocrite. And she would do anything to pave a way for her son.And today, she would witness such

    “We’ve been filming for two months. Thanked goodness ‘Youth 1990’ pushed forward the taping schedule or else, we’re done.” Dylan used his usual exaggerated tone as he slumped next to Ashley who was busy packing her things.“You better wash up. You stink.” Ashley was the first one to excuse herself in the film’s celebration party. As someone who had seen too many dark shits in the industry, drinking was a ticket to tabloids.With this in mind, Ashley decided to symbolically toast with the crew, ate her dinner, and faked an illness which worked perfectly fine. This time, she was in a hurry to pack her things because tomorrow was the day that she would start the first step of the many ones in building an empire of her own—Rosemary Jewelry Store’s grand opening.The trademark of the brand was finally registered along with the corporation name which was still Rosemary.

And right now, his nominal wife was pointing the gun at him. He did not move.
