Revenge Of The Jilted Bride (Ophelia)
Jilted Bride 74

Chapter 74

Miles scrutinized Ophelia. Once, she had only eyes for him, and he didn't believe her attitude could change so quickly.

He thought. She must have heard that I was coming, which is why she followed me here. She has done so much before. I used to replace it annoying, but now it strangely gives me a sense of achievement. So he assumed she was just pretending to be calm

"Elia, you really surprised me. I admire your excellence. Come work for me, and I will provide you with the best platform. Then we won't be in competition anymore," Miles said passionately as if their new relationship would lead to a different outcome.

Ophelia couldn't help but laugh, thinking. Is he really that out of touch? Does he think I designed dresses and entered competitions just to get his attention?"

Ophelia crushed the candy in her mouth, her smile fading. "Miles, are you insane? You think I did everything for you? Who do you think you are? I've never met anyone so full of themselves. The best platform for me? You overestimate yourself!" "Ophelia, stop playing hard to get."

"Well, you stop being arrogant first."

Miles furrowed his brow, saying. Fine, maybe I am, but don't regret this."

Just then, a middle-aged man with a rounded belly dressed in gray casual clothes came down the stairs, holding a string of

Welcome!" blue agate beads. "Mr. Lewis, I didn't expect you to come in person.

Miles' embarrassed expression eased somewhat as he turned to greet the shop owner, Eden Bernal.

"May I ask who's this lady?" Eden smiled at Ophelia, his gaze implying a close relationship between her and Miles.

Ophelia quickly distanced herself from Miles, unable to hide her annoyance. I am the head of SN Entertainment. I previously ordered a batch of rough stones from you, and you said we could discuss it this afternoon," Ophelia briefly explained her purpose. "It's you," Eden realized, glancing at Ophelia and losing his previous enthusiasm. Then, please come with me."

Eden had his own motives. He had investigated and knew Ophelia and Miles were competitors, with Miles backed by the powerful Lewis Group, while Ophelia's company was smaller. He already had an answer in his mind about how to choose. The reason he still involved Ophelia was that he wanted Fashion Ladies to pay more for that batch of materials.

"Mr. Lewis, this is a good batch. There might even be a top-quality emerald among them."

Emeralds vary in color from light green to deep green. High-quality emeralds were extremely rare and expensive.

Miles signaled his expert team, and two experts immediately took out their tools to test the rough stones. They placed the rough stones into a machine for cleaning, and soon, the magma dust was washed away to reveal a brilliant green glow.

The sixty-something expert pushed up his reading glasses and nodded frequently. "Mr. Lewis, the largest one has a deep green color. In my years of experience, I'm pretty sure it is likely a top-quality emerald"

Upon mentioning emeralds, people nearby turned to look. Emeralds were the most valuable among gemstones, and very few were mined throughout the year, let alone one of such size.

Suddenly, Ophelia, who had been silent, had a moment of clarity. She finally realized why the sight of Cameo Charm felt so familiar. In her previous life, a large emerald came out at Camco Charm at this time, making it onto tie news. She remembered seeing pictures of it, but it didn't seem to be this shape and size.

"Mr. Lewis, your experts have confirmed that these rough stones are all high-quality materials, so could you possibly. reconsider the price... Many people wanted this batch of goods. Eden said, glancing at Ophelia as if signaling Miles. "You see, she also came for this batch."

"No problem. I traveled a long way and didn't want to return empty-handed. I could add two more points," Miles replied, casting a sideways glance at Ophelia.

Eden smiled widely, his face jiggling with the motion, his eyes almost squinting. He looked back at Ophelia, thinking, 'As long as she raises her price. Mr. Lewis would definitely raise it further.

"What a pity! They are not meant for me. I did not have Mr. Lewis' financial support, so I'm giving up, Ophelia smiled brightly, appearing completely unconcerned.

Eden's smile diminished, thinking. I originally wanted to raise the price, but she was too uncooperative. I must be more discerning when looking for buyers next time."

"These rough stones were ordinary. It was right that you did not buy them. They only looked good but wouldn't yield any valuable materials, Eric interjected, crossing his arms and speaking seriously.

At this, Eden's smile vanished instantly. He shot a look at his subordinate nearby.

The subordinate immediately understood. "Don't speak nonsense. Throughout all of Mineroca, only Cameo Charm had top-quality rough stones. Countless top gemstones were from us. Don't be jealous just because you can't get them."

"We didn't feel jealous at all," Eric said, chewing gum and snapping his fingers. "I bet these rough stones weren't top-tier emeralds. What do you think, Elia?" Eric nudged Ophelia with his shoulder.

Ophelia thought, 'I believe we might be beaten up. Despite thinking this, she nodded in agreement, saying, "I think you were right." She gambled that Miles' low character wouldn't bring him such good luck.

Eden's expression darkened, instructing his subordinate to kick Ophelia and Eric out. "Hurry up and leave. Don't force us to/ call security"

"Mr. Bernal, don't get angry. They were two outsiders. There was no need to hold a grudge against them," Miles said, already having his assistant take out a check.

Miles pleaded for Ophelia, and Eden could not disregard his face

Once both parties signed the order, Miles had his appraisers verify it on the spot.

Eden's subordinate found Ophelia and Eric a nuisance. "What are you still doing here? Get lost already. Don't disrupt us.... Ouch!" He didn't even get to touch Ophelia before Eric grabbed his hand, catching him off guard and making him wince in pain. Eden furrowed his brow. "What exactly do you want?"

"Mr. Bernal, where there's no deal, there's still courtesy. Since you opened for business, there's no harm to let us watch, right?" Ophelia maintained a calm demeanor, unfazed regardless of what she heard. Indeed, there was no reason

to chase away customers when opening for business.

"Fine, do as you please. You, get them coffee." Eden decided to ignore Ophelia and Erie, thinking, 'Just wait to be slapped in the face. This batch of goods would definitely yield emeralds.
