The next day, Lindsay went out to explore the nearby area with Elric and Ryan. Both she and Elric wore baseball caps and masks, dressed simply to avoid being recognized. Ryan, noticing their cautious appearance, laughed and said, "You two always look so worn out whenever you go out."Lindsay chuckled. "Well, you win some, you lose some. It’s no big deal."Elric nodded in agreement. "Exactly. We don't mind."Ryan rolled his eyes at Elric. This guy was hopeless—anything Lindsay said was gospel to him.The three of them returned in the afternoon, only to coincidentally run into Sarina and her group, who seemed to be heading out for dinner. When Sarina spotted Lindsay, she was briefly stunned before giving her a playful look. Lindsay returned the same playful smile. Sarina blinked in surprise, feeling that Lindsay truly lived without fear. In seven days, this woman would be in tears.Their two groups passed by each other, with Selena at the end. As she brushed past Lindsay, she light

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

Chapter 493

If no one competed for a stone, it could be won at a low price. However, if there was competition and others bid against each other, the price of the raw stone would rise, but at least they would know the base price.The second method was sealed bidding. In this case, after selecting a stone, one would remember its number and write one bid on a slip, placing it into the bid box. The highest bid would win after the final review.The auction was divided into four zones: A, B, C, and D. Zones A and B were for open bidding, while zones C and D used sealed bidding. That day’s focus was on open bidding. For sealed bids, participants would submit their bids after reviewing the stones, and the results would be announced the following day. Everyone entered Zone A, taking note of the stones they were interested in and setting mental price limits. In the afternoon, based on their analysis and stone numbers, they would participate in the bidding.The exhibition area was filled with piles of

Chapter 494

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 knew she couldn’t leave. She had to stay until the bidding ended and the stones were revealed. However, a strange sense of panic crept into her heart. This sudden reaction felt eerily like she was suffering from backlash. After a while, the burning sensation in her body gradually subsided, but along with it, her fortune seemed to slip away as well. She could feel it—her luck was draining, weakening with every passing moment. Panic surged inside her. What was happening? Why was her fortune continuously fading?Once her body had recovered enough, Steven helped her back to her seat. The moment she sat down, Sarina’s first instinct was to search for Lindsay. She had a strong suspicion that this backlash and the loss of her fortune had everything to do with Lindsay.Sure enough, as Lindsay returned from the restroom, their eyes met. Lindsay gave her a faint smile, one that carried a hint of mischief. This confirmed Sarina’s fears—Lindsay was behind this. The ominous feeli

Chapter 496

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

Chapter 497

Mia had heard from Lindsay about Selena’s painful past, how she had been swapped at birth and later mistreated and oppressed by her so-called family. Feeling sympathy for Selena, Mia handed her a tissue and gently patted her back, offering silent comfort. She didn’t tell her to stop crying—sometimes, crying was the best release.Selena took the tissue and, between sobs, said, “Thank you.” There was something about Mia that felt warm and comforting.Mia continued to gently pat her back. "You’re welcome. After we get back to the capital, you can stay with me for a while. We’ll look out for each other."She lived alone in a company-provided apartment, and when Lindsay asked if she could help care for Selena for a bit, Mia had agreed without hesitation.Sniffling, Selena responded, “Alright.” This would be the first time she’d live with anyone other than those two oppressive families. Back when she was in middle school, she had begged to live at her school dormitory, hoping to escape

Chapter 498

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.

Chapter 499

Sarina had no choice but to proceed with the bidding herself, relying on the numbers provided by the gemstone experts. As she called out bids, Lindsay, having anticipated Sarina’s emotional state, instructed Howard to deliberately raise the prices. Sarina, full of frustration and determined not to lose, stubbornly followed every bid.Just as expected, every time Howard raised the price, Sarina matched it, unwilling to let him win. She was so consumed with the idea of beating him that she kept bidding, even when the prices skyrocketed beyond the actual value of the stones. After Howard backed off, Sarina found herself having won over twenty lots, each one far above the standard bidding price.It wasn’t until her mind cleared that she realized what had happened—she’d been played. Her face darkened, and she ground her teeth in frustration, her hatred for Howard and Lindsay intensifying. She could only hope her luck hadn’t completely run out and that the stones she won would still rev

Chapter 500

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
