Howard and the others followed inside, clearly unsettled. One of the senior executives from Long Jewelry muttered, "That Sarina is incredibly arrogant. The way she talks, it’s like all the best gemstones here are already in Fox Gemworks' pocket."A seasoned jade appraiser from their side added, "Sarina has really made a name for herself these past two years. She’s become quite the sensation in the gemtsone trading scene."Whenever she attends a public or private auction, she always walks away with the top picks. Her success rate in gemstone betting is over ninety percent, sweeping up nearly all the highest quality jade every time."People in the trade say she’s a natural-born gemstone expert, gifted in ways others can’t compare to. We shouldn’t underestimate her this time."Another expert agreed, "She’s definitely something. Just by touching the raw stone, she can tell if there’s a precious stone inside. And whatever stone she picks never turns out to be a dud."Ryan, recalling his ow

As expected, Lindsay noticed that Sarina’s method of examining the raw stones lacked any professional insight. She was simply using her hands to feel the magnetic energy, which felt like cheating. No wonder Sarina always walked away with a fortune at both public and private auctions.Lindsay also realized she wasn’t the only one watching Sarina—many people were closely observing her. In fact, several were noting down the stone numbers that Sarina had inspected and recorded. However, Lindsay noticed Sarina was being cunning. A few stones she recorded had little to no chance of containing gemstones from a professional standpoint. It was clear she was intentionally misleading those who were following her every move.Sarina moved quickly, barely touching the stones before jotting down their numbers, unlike the other gemstone experts who took their time to thoroughly examine and analyze the material. By the end of the morning, Sarina had already finished inspecting all the stones in

Sarina’s abrupt exit naturally drew attention and confusion from the crowd. What was happening with her? While it was allowed to leave mid-auction to continue inspecting raw stones, her sudden dash raised eyebrows. Others, too, occasionally left to recheck their selections, but it had to be done before the bidding closed on those stones.Seeing Sarina rush out, Steven and the gemstone experts from the Fox family quickly followed her. Only Selena remained seated, her expression calm. Ever since Sarina had stolen her fortune, Selena had felt drained and weak. But now, a new sensation was washing over her, like a slow resurgence of energy. It was as if the heavy burden she had been carrying had lifted.This shift confirmed that Lindsay’s plan had worked. After Sarina ran out, Selena couldn’t resist glancing over at Lindsay. Sensing her gaze, Lindsay turned her head slightly and winked.Selena’s eyes reddened, an overwhelming urge to cry bubbling up inside her. She held it back a

Steven, holding his cheek where Sarina had slapped him, stared at her in disbelief. She had berated him before, but this was the first time she had actually hit him. His expression darkened. "Are you out of your mind?"Sarina glared at him. "You ruined the open bidding—don’t you deserve to be slapped?"Yes, this was all his fault. If he hadn’t bumped into her, the water wouldn’t have spilled onto her notebook. Although her ability had temporarily vanished, she could have at least faked her way through this auction. Now, with the open bidding underway, she had no way to participate. There was no way she’d take responsibility for this—Steven had to be the one to blame.Steven, seething with anger, forced a bitter laugh. "I barely touched you, and that’s my fault now? Instead of wasting time blaming me, why don’t you get back to work, write down the numbers again, and we can still make it in time for the bidding?"Despite his fury, he knew he had no choice but to hold back. As lon

As everyone’s eyes focused on Sarina, her expression shifted, and she felt deeply humiliated. Ever since she had gained the ability to detect gemstones within raw stones, she had always been the center of attention, celebrated wherever she went. She couldn’t let anyone know that her powers had vanished, so she directed her frustration at the gemstone experts.With a stern face, she snapped, "What kind of stones did you pick? Useless, the lot of you! How could every single one be a bust? I thought I’d give you an opportunity to prove yourselves, but you’ve only disappointed me."Her words left the gemstone experts from Fox Gemworks embarrassed and furious. As professional experts, they felt deeply insulted by her accusation. It was clear to them that Sarina, now the target of mockery, was deflecting the blame onto them. Although they were seething inside, they knew better than to argue with her.They had done their best under the circumstances. With only half an hour to review so m
