Chapter 447 Lucky Woman
Orville received everyone’s envious or jealous gaze satisfactorily. He raised his chin and said to the ow
ner, “Wrap it
up.”
Janet smiled and looked at Orville’s side face. She felt that his angry face was inexplicably cute, like a
puppy.
The owner rubbed his
hands excitedly. Just as he was about to take the Black Card, Janet stopped him.
“I appreciate your kindness, but after all, this is what I insist on buying. I should pay for it myself.”
Before Orville could refute it, Janet put the Black Card back
into his hand and paid the stall owner herself.
The stall owner put the rough stone in a box covered with flannelette, and was about to seal the box. H
owever, Janet interrupted his movements.
“Sir, don’t pack it yet. Help me cut the stone.”
Orville pursed his lips, lowered his voice and whispered in Janet’s ear, “I can cut it. Let’s go back first.”
Orville defended Janet without hesitation just now. However, with many people around here, once the p
iece of stone was cut in public, Orville thought that they would inevitably be laughed at by them.
At that time, Orville thought that he might beat them up.
Besides, if Orville took Janet back to cut the stone, he could comfort her and improve her relationship p
rivately….
However, Janet was confident.
“No, let’s cut it here.”
Janet looked a bit frivolous. The spectators snorted, waiting to see how embarrassed she would be.
Janet paid the money. Of course, the owner of the stall should provide good service. He picked up the t
ools, lit the spotlights, and began to cut the stone with so many people watching.
Starting from the incision, the owner peeled off the shell along the cracks. The exposed part was turbid
gray–green, and there were many impurities.
The stall owner was very careful, but very skillful. He quickly peeled off one–third of the shell.
As more and more parts were exposed, everyone’s expressions became more and more mocking. The
y glanced at Janet from time to time, expecting to find a look of remorse on her face.
“I said the stone was bad, but she didn’t believe it!”
“360 thousand dollars was spent like this!”
“I like to watch other people lose money!”

Orville was serious. He subconsciously approached Janet a little bit, paying attention to her emotions.
He was worried
that Janet would be very disappointed.
Janet was the only one who still stood leisurely. She even smiled.
The spectators thought that Janet was pretending to be calm. In the silent atmosphere,
Caleb’s expression changed.
He stopped playing with the bracelet in his hands. Caleb couldn’t help but take a few steps closer, stari
ng at the rough
stone under the stall owner’s hands.
Just as the stall owner moved towards the middle and rear of the rough stone and peeled off a triangul
ar shell, a clear green color suddenly flashed in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Is this…”
The stall owner froze. He stared dumbfounded at the rough stone in his hand, and his mind went blank.
Caleb couldn’t help but snatch the stone, and then looked at it carefully. His eyes were full of amazeme
nt.
Caleb looked at his friend excitedly with trembling fingers. He said, “This is an excellent piece of top–
grade jade!”
Although only the tip of the stone was exposed, Caleb could tell at a glance that the exposed part was t
he best jade.
“If the rest is also of this quality, then this piece of stone must be worth millions of dollars at least!”
Millions of dollars?
The onlookers were shocked for an instant.
They thought, “Isn’t that directly more than ten times the price she paid for it?”
Orville was experienced. He looked at Janet in disbelief.
“Miss, you are so lucky. This is probably a piece of top–grade jade!”
When the crowd was in surprise, Janet still stood there calmly. She didn’t care about what happened ar
ound her. Janet
just said, “Keep cutting.”
The owner continued to cut the stone with trembling hands.
When all the shells were peeled off, everyone finally saw this fine emerald completely.
The first half of the gray–
green jade was like an inconspicuous veil, making it difficult to discover its true beauty from
the incision.
Look at the second half of the emerald, the color was translucent and clear. It looked warm and beautif
ul
In the intersection of moonlight and light, this piece of jade was like a gentle woman, bringing peace to
people in the
luuvatuaue world
Everyone was shocked.
They thought that Janet bought a stone for 360 thousand dollars, but in fact, she got a treasure!
The spectators all envied Janet’s good luck. However, there was no look of excitement or surprise on h
er face, as if she had expected such a result..
She told the owner, “It can be wrapped now.”
Holding the emerald, the stall owner felt so regretful.
He originally wanted to use a piece of scrap to fool Janet, and make a small profit.
Unexpectedly, it was such a high–
quality jade. He only charged 360 thousand dollars, and he thought that it was a huge loss!
Slowly packing the box and sealing it, the owner was very unhappy. Then, he handed the box to Janet.
Janet took it, turned around and handed it to Orville.
Orville hadn’t recovered from what happened just now. Then, he was in shock at Janet’s action.
“Will you give it to me?”
Everyone looked at Janet, and they became more and more curious about her.
They wondered what her background was. After all, she gave such a valuable jade to others casually.
Janet’s tone was as calm as if she had just sent an ordinary stone. “This is to express my thanks beca
use you stood for me just now.
up
“Besides, I promised to treat you to dinner before, but I couldn’t do it because I was too busy. This can
also be regarded as an apology to you.”
Orville was excited. He thought, “So, it turned out that she doesn’t just perfunctory me. She remembers
inviting me to dinner!”
He blushed with joy. “Since you said so, I will keep it.
“However, I didn’t help you because I saw the value of this stone. Even if you buy a brick today, I will su
pport you without hesitation!”
Seeing Orville swearing with his fingers upright, Janet couldn’t help laughing. “I believe it.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Orville grinned in satisfaction, revealing his neat and white teeth.
“However, even if you owe me ten meals, it’s not worth the value of this jade. It seems that I have to fin
d a chance to repay your gift.”
Orville’s dark eyes were as cunning as a little fox’s. He thought the frequent contact with Janet was ver
y good, which shows that their story was not over yet to be continued.
Janet laughed happily.
The two walked elsewhere, but many people followed their footsteps quietly.
The dramatic scene appeared in the gambling stone market. A couple walked in front, talking and laugh
ing, and a large group of people followed behind stealthily.
They had to go around the stalls where Janet stopped, and they rushed to buy all the
rough stones that Janet touched
They believed that it was right to believe Janet in choosing stone!
