Chapter 616Harriet took the gem and then left with Delbert.The salesperson was still immersed in Harriet's lovely smile.She even picked up her phone and bragged about it to her colleagues.If she knew what she had just given away for free, she would probably regret it deeply.Harriet led Delbert away from the scene and stopped at a place far away.While Harriet was catching her breath, Delbert suddenly bent down and whispered in her ear, "The raw stone I just found has an excellent gem inside. Happy about it?"His voice was deep and seductive.His breath assailed Harriet's ear, causing her earlobes to turn red."Knock it off! Lewis is watching," she said, flinching."Lewis?" Delbert grumbled, pressing Harriet against the wall.He gazed at Harriet with possessiveness filling his eyes."You're disobedient again. With me around, are you still thinking about other men?" he said.Harriet immediately surrendered to his dominant posture.She curled up and weakly said, "I'm no
Chapter 617Delbert released Harriet's hand.He rubbed his lips and teased her. "No."Then, under Harriet's surprised gaze, he buried his head in her neck. "Call me honey, and I'll let you go."His voice was hoarse, with a hint of indulgence.Harriet vaguely sensed a hint of coquetry.Delbert could be coquettish.He behaved like a lazy cat.If this got out, everyone would be shocked.In the eyes of others, Delbert was completely indifferent to women, and there were even rumors that he was impotent.Yet he acted like a spoiled child in front of Harriet.It's unbelievable.Harriet felt his hot breath and grasped her clothes.She couldn't bear it whenever Delbert teased her.Harriet suppressed her coyness and spoke softly. "Honey, could you let me go?"Delbert lightly bit her neck.He raised his hand to rub her hair and spoke softly. "Okay, I'll listen to you."Just then, a voice came. "Ms. Munoz, Darryl, what are you guys doing here?"Lewis rushed over, panting.Just n
Chapter 618On the way, Harriet asked Lewis to find a professional who could cut the stones.When they arrived at the area for stone gambling, Lewis was about to guide Harriet to buy the raw stones he had prepared in advance.Each of these raw stones contained a gem worth millions of dollars.Harriet would definitely be delighted.If Harriet mentioned him in front of Alan, he might get a raise.Lewis fantasized about his promotion and all the benefits.Just then, a sharp voice came. "Harriet? What are you doing here?"Harriet heard it and looked over.Lily was seen standing not far away.Lily was dressed in designer clothes and standing next to a table displaying a raw stone. A salesperson was introducing her to the stone.Standing beside Lily's friend, who had tried to frame Harriet at the family gathering hosted by Levi when Harriet first arrived in Imperium.Lily was surprised to see Harriet.She had come to the gem trading center to connect with her friends.Since tha
Chapter 619Harriet sneered in response. 'The worst raw stone?'If the stone in her hand was worthless, then what about the other raw stones in this trading center?Garbage?Besides, Lily was in no position to judge her financial situation.Harriet put the small stone away and approached Lily with disdain."I am the general manager of a company, and I have eight brothers who dote on me. I also have a husband who is the richest man in Meawood City. Anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn't think I lack money, would they? Speaking of which, Miss Lynch, with all the trouble you caused recently, does your family still give you pocket money? Tsk-tsk, you're really favored," she said.The girls around Lily realized what was going on.That explained Lily's reluctance when she bought things for them.It turned out that the Lynch family had stopped giving Lily pocket money.Her spending probably came from her savings.To win them over, she had spent a lot.They wondered how much sh
Chapter 620Lily knew that once Harriet agreed to gamble on stones with her in this area, Harriet would definitely lose.Although both she and Harriet were not very familiar with gambling on stones, the salesperson in charge of this area had introduced her to all the raw stones that could produce precious gems.Even if Harriet was lucky, she could not win.Harriet didn't even know that Lily had learned about every stone in this area.Harriet could only apologize to her in front of everyone.Lily would take the opportunity to humiliate Harriet and seek revenge.Pleased with herself, Lily didn't notice the cunning look in Harriet's eyes.Delbert, however, was not happy about Lily's proposal. Harriet stopped him from stepping in.Otherwise, there would be no show to watch.Harriet had figured out why Lily insisted on gambling in this area.She had noticed the salesperson standing next to Lily.Presumably, Lily had learned about all the raw stones in this area from the salesper
Chapter 621Lily was still looking around, trying to find those fine stones introduced by the salesperson.Besides Lily's friends, many onlookers gathered in the area.They had come to watch the match.Seeing how quickly Harriet had chosen her raw stone, the onlookers and Lily's friends stifled their laughter.Presumably, Harriet didn't know a thing about stone gambling, so she simply chose one that caught her eye.'Does she think that stone gambling is all about luck?' They thought.Lily was still carefully selecting her stone. Clearly, she knew what she was doing.Harriet didn't understand stone gambling at all. Yet she insisted on gambling with Lily.She would probably cry when she saw the results.The discussion among the people grew louder. Almost everyone was pessimistic about Harriet's victory.After finally finding the raw stone introduced by the salesperson, Lily confidently walked toward Harriet.She couldn't help but sneer when she saw the ordinary stone in Harri
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 623Lily's heart tightened, and she broke out in a cold sweat.She suddenly remembered that this Gem Trading Center was the largest and oldest in Imperium.Its owner was said to be of high rank.In comparison, she was just the daughter of a fallen family. She couldn't afford to offend the people in the trading center.If the owner of the trading center was annoyed, only her family could save her.But Liam had stopped caring about her.Lily quickly explained, "That's not what I mean. I mean, Harriet and that salesperson are colluding."This Gem Trading Center is the oldest and most reputable in Imperium. How could you possibly cheat with your customers?"Lily thought she had explained perfectly, but Lewis became angrier.He stared at Lily with coldness and disdain. "Here, every one of our employees has gone through strict screening, and each employee's employment application is reviewed by our boss."Since you're not questioning our qualifications, are you questioning
