Chapter 110

As he expected, Miss Janet didn't know anything about stone-gambling. On the other hand, Janet threw the worthless stone aside and continued her actions without regarding what the crowd said.Pricked by anger and awkwardness, the owner of Jade Pavilion chided the crowd, "It's not worthless. Perhaps the next one has emeralds!"Although he knew that it was impossible, he had to entertain Miss Jackson because she was Young Master Mason and Young Master Moss's friend. The other people rebutted, "We'll see! What a ridiculous shop!"The owner of Jade Pavilion was panting with rage initially but the next second, a smile bloomed on his face. "Miss Jackson, there's one more stone. Do you want to cut that too?"Yes, please." Janet agreed indifferently. Under everyone's fervent gaze, Janet wet the jade rough with a cloth in an experienced manner. Then, she cut it. With a crack, a striking red beam shone from the opening."What's going on?""Why is there a red beam?"Oh my god!" Curious, Henry took a step forward and looked at the stone in Janet's hand only to gasp in shock.Everyone one stretched their necks and looked at it too. Immediately, they were stupefied. The onlookers who had mocked Janet sank into silence while their eyes were glued to the jade rough in her hand, afraid that they were mistaken.At the side, the shop owner's eyes almost popped out in disbelief."I-It's a red jade!" Henry shouted, attracting Mason's gaze. When the shop owner saw the jade in Janet's hand, he couldn't regret it more and wanted to slap himself now.How could he sell that precious red jade roughs as trash? What a loss, an outrageous loss! If he had cut it, he wouldn't have to worry about life anymore! But what was going on? He had inspected it carefully when he chose the jade roughs and was sure that it was impossible to have red jades in them!However, this young girl had gotten it by sheer luck! "Damn! What a treasure. I've never seen a red jade in my life. It's too rare!" Everyone was green in envy and overwhelmed with excitement while staring at the jade in Janet's hand."No way. I have to choose a few leftovers too later on."Me too. It's surprising that the owner of Jade Pavilion finally has his conscience stirred and put a red jade in."Nonsense. The owner of Jade Pavilion must not have been aware that there's red jade in that pile of stones either." So it's that young girl's sheer luck again?"This time, the crowd no longer dared to come to a conclusion easily because this was the third time that Janet got valuable gemstones. Amongst the crowd, Henry was undoubtedly the most excited. Initially, he thought that Janet was just lucky to get green jades twice in a row. However, how could luck stand by her for three times in a row? Stop talking. Let's continue to watch her cut the stone," someone shouted, causing the others to shut their mouths instantly.Since Janet had only cut one surface of the rock, they still couldn't confirm if it was truly a red jade. Totally disregarding the presence of the others, Janet started to cut the second surface. Due to her systematic actions, it was hard to believe that this was the first time she was cutting a stone. Looking at how calm and composed the girl in front of him was, a bold thought suddenly popped up in Mason's mind. Was she too good at concealing, or was it just sheer luck?After that, Janet cut a few more pieces. Upon showering it with water, a clear, gorgeously-colored red jade appeared in front of everyone's eyes.Looking at the red jade in her hand under the light, Janet saw that the lustre red jade was incredibly clear and almost free from impurities. It was a rare treasure!Feeling delighted, she felt that she truly had a windfall today. After all, this kind of brilliant red jade was scarce in the market, not to mention a red jade with this kind of quality. The rarer a thing was, the more it was worth. Therefore, red jade would always be worth a lot more than other types of jade.
