Lily looked around, taking in the circle of onlookers.When she saw that everyone was watching with a look of anticipation for the drama, and not a single person intended to speak up for her, her heart sank.Noticing Lily, the main party involved, looking at them, a hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the surrounding crowd."What are you looking at us for, Miss Lily? Surely you don't want to kneel and apologize to Miss Harriet, do you? After all, it was you who proposed the bet. Tsk tsk, you can't afford to lose, right?""Losing isn’t an option for the lady of the Lynch family, is it? I think Miss Lily believes that Miss Harriet actually cheated and is still deluded into thinking she did nothing wrong. How shameless she is!"Listening to the sarcastic comments from the crowd, Lily felt like crying.She bit her lower lip tightly, her hands clenched into fists, looking pitiful enough to evoke sympathy.But no one present felt any compassion for her.Lily was about to make anot

Every person present had an eagerness in their eyes, almost unanimously asking, "Miss Harriet, who do you plan to sell this piece of jewel to?"The price of that exquisite piece of jewel had now escalated beyond 9 million and reached over 10 million in the never-ending bidding war, with an upward trend still visible.The truth was that 10 million dollars were almost equivalent to the annual income of many company bosses.And here was Harriet, a young girl who had earned it in less than an hour.Even they were envious of Harriet's luck!They weren’t at all worried that Harriet wouldn't be able to sell this exquisite piece of jewel!With a fortune of 10 million close at hand, who wouldn't take it?

Not far away, a sales associate beside Harriet was carrying a pile of rough stones towards the stone cutter.Even the stone cutter couldn't help but twitch at the sight of these stones.All the rough stones being carried were selected by Harriet!The crowd was astounded.After all, these rough stones appeared quite ordinary at first glance.Was Harriet overly confident in her luck?Or did she possess enough skill to be sure she could cut good stones from them?After all, this gems trading center was the largest and oldest in Imperium.

The next second, after the stone cutter made another cut into a rough stone, the whole place fell into a stunned silence.The stone cutter even fainted.Along with him, many of the onlookers and staff members of the gems trading center also passed out from shock.What kind of luck was this?Four times in a row, they had all been top-grade jewels. When they were betting on stones, why didn't they ever see such jewels appear?It felt as if the jewels were hiding from them whenever they bet on stones!But when Harriet came to bet on stones, why did the jewels seem to jump into her hands?It was so unfair!What was even more infuriating was that everyone initially thought that Harriet's streak of luck with four top-grade jewels would end there.

Lewis was initially taken aback upon hearing her request but then nodded quickly as if he had thought of something. After processing Harriet's words and combining it with the mysterious stone that had appeared in her hand earlier, Lewis understood that the stone probably had an extraordinary origin.Harriet likely wanted to cut open this stone as well to see what kind of jewel was inside.Before long, he arranged for a room for Harriet to use for stone cutting.The stone cutter he summoned was one of the most experienced in the entire jewel trading center.It was said that this stone cutter had witnessed the days when Alan ruled over the jewel world with his power and influence.

It was the gems trading center's mechanism to protect its customers. Under the protection, Lewis had thought Harriet would be safe.But now that Harriet had revealed top-grade emerald, the situation was different.Such top-grade emerald might compel some to become enemies of the gems trading center just to take it from Harriet's hands.Lewis's expression immediately tensed as he stepped towards the stone cutter lying on the ground.He was about to confirm for the third time that the stone cutter wouldn't leak this news when he heard Harriet say, "Is this green jewel very precious?"Harriet tilted her head, her face full of confusion as she looked at the rough stone on the table that had just been cut, which was now faintly revealing the emerald inside.Lewis, who had been tense, nearly dropped his jaw in shock upon hearing Harriet's words.He had been wondering how Harriet could have revealed such fine jewel without any reaction and even stand quietly aside.He had thought sh

In the underground parking garage.It was unusually quiet since it was a workday, with few cars and even fewer people, leaving only the sound of Harriet and Delbert's footsteps echoing.Unseen by them, several figures lurked in the shadows.Not long ago, Lily escaped from the gems trading center in embarrassment.She ran into her brother, Liam, on her way home, who had rushed over after hearing about the drama. Liam had been swamped at work because of Harriet and was both angry and resentful upon hearing that Lily had been dealt with by Harriet at Alan‘s gems trading center.He didn’t want to deal with his foolish sister.

"Liam, haven't you been troubled lately about how to deal with Harriet? I've just thought of a great way that will leave her with no chance to recover!"And this method won't damage the reputation of the Lynch family even if it gets out!"Liam was swayed by Lily's words. He indeed wanted to bring down Harriet to give the Lynch Group a chance to rise again in Imperium. He became curious about what plan Lily had in mind.After all, his sister had been foolishly outmaneuvered by Harriet every time, each plan more flawed than the last, easily giving Harriet leverage.But now Lily claimed her plan would destroy Harriet without harming the Lynch family's reputation.Postponing the apology wouldn't hurt. He might as well hear her out.With that thought, Liam looked up at Lily, signaling her to continue."Go on, what's your plan?"Seeing her brother not only willing to listen but also showing keen interest, Lily was overjoyed and eager to share."Liam, haven't you been conspiring wi

Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine?
