Fiancé?
Paxton’s eyes widened in surprise!
The woman in front of him looked twenty years old, she was actually the internationally famous clothing
designer Summer?
So, his forty million went to waste?
Crap!
He lost big!
Sean sneered coldly and, along with ire, walked right past Paxton.
When Julia walked to Paxton, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look
at him, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, so, you were trying to get ire’s attention? Forty million… Huh, good luck to
you.”
Good luck?
What kind of idiot would buy a stone for forty million that he didn’t even
know what was inside?
Paxton really wanted to kill someone right now.
His friends stood behind him, embarrassed as hell, one of them scratching the back of his own head
and trying tofort Paxton, “Paxton, don’t be
discouraged. It’s not necessarily a losing deal, what if there’s something really precious in it?”

“Yes, you will make a profit if there’s ruby or something in it!”
Paxton took a deep breath, what else could he do now?
He could only hope that there was something valuable in that stone and that
he wouldn’t lose too much.
The auction of the stones was the main session here, since it was already
finished, the gamblers had scattered, and there weren’t many people on the second floor anymore.
At the entrance of the second floor, there was a ce with small raw stones
on the ground, some of those raw stones were only the size of a palm, some were only the size of a
child’s fist, and the biggest one was only the size of about two palms.
Because of their small size and unimpressive appearance, no gambler wanted them and they could
only be sold cheaply.
ire, however, stopped and bent over to observe them.
Belle, a three–year–old, loved to y with sand and rocks, moved her legs and Sean put her down on
the ground.
“Wow, a lot of rocks! I can build a castle.”
She picked the stones up piece by piece and stacked them into different shapes, having more and
more fun.
The manager stood aside and didn’t say anything, today Sean arrived and helped him raise the price of
thest piece of raw stone to forty million, he was too happy and grateful to care about a kid ying
with these cheap stones.
“Mr. Sean.”
Beautiful Stone
He stood aside and said cheerfully, “The little girl seems to love these. Why don’t I give the stones to
you as a gift? You can take them back for her.”
Sean gave him a sidelong nce and seriously shook his head, “No, I’ve got all kinds of stones at
home, she’s just on a whim.”
“It’s okay, Mr. Sean,” the manager insisted, “Just consider it as our gesture to make friends with you, I’ll
leave the best table for you from now on and you’re wee to visit any time.”
To put it bluntly, the manager was trying to use these worthless raw stones to do Sean a favor, he didn’t
really care if Sean woulde and bid for the stones as Sean’s arrival today had already won him a
fortune.
Suddenly, Belle shouted in surprise, “Wow, this stone is so beautiful, I like it!”
ire was drawn to her voice; it was a raw stone with an unremarkable
appearance, and it really wasn’t a stone that could be called beautiful.
“Belle, can Mommy take a look?”
“Sure.” Belle grinned and handed ire the raw stone in her hand.
This piece of raw stone was as big as two of an adult’s palms and it was considered to be one of the
bigger ones in the pile.
But it was rough, not washed or polished in any way, and there was even some silt around it.
ire blew off the dust and wiped off the sand on it with her hands before scrutinizing the raw stone.

The manager just looked at it and didn’t care, continuing to suck up to Sean, “Mr. Sean, look how much
the kid loves these, just take them.”
Julia ignored them and crouched down right next to ire. She was unable to see anything good about
the stone and could only ask in a whisper, “ire,
how is this one?”
ire smiled and handed her the raw stone, “Buy it.”
Julia was stunned.
Again?
She peeked back at the manager and lowered her voice, “ire, how much should we pay?”
ire smiled and stood up, “Manager, my friend wants to buy this stone, how
much is it?”
The manager was ttered andughed, “For free! As a gift!”
“No need.” Sean stuck his hands in his pants pockets and looked at him with
an air of confidence, “We’d like to pay. And I will visit often from now
on.”
The manager understood immediately that Sean didn’t like to owe others
favors!
Only then did he turn his head to take a serious look at the raw stone before raising his hand and
holding up five fingers.
dia was in shock, “No way! You’re going to sell this piece of crap for
and dors?”

thousand! Five hundred!”
“Huh?”
Julia instantly was a little embarrassed, “I thought you were trying to sell this to me at fifty thousand
dors.”
“Of course, not.” The managerughed and said, “I will be honest with you, only the ones that no one
wants will be put here for cheap sale, the good stones will be put on auction. The prices of the raw
stones here range from a few hundred to a few thousand, this one in your hand is considered to be the
cheapest.”
“Okay!”
Without further ado, Julia immediately took out her cell phone, “I’ll pay
with my phone.”
The manager quickly made the deal with Julia.

“Well, let’s go crack the stone.”
ire took Jon’s little hand.
Julia, however, enjoyed it; for five hundred dors, she didn’t care if she bought a piece of scrap stone;
after all, Belle had already helped her buy a snuff bottle and she’d made a fortune already today.
She lowered her head again and happily asked Belle, “Honey, is there any other stone that looks
pretty?”
Belle pouted, “No, this is the prettiest one here. The one Mommy just asked you to bid for is also pretty,
but not as pretty as this one.”

“Oh yeah?”
Julia then happily weighed the raw stone in her hand, “Let’s go, let’s go open the stone now!”
The manager wasn’t doing anything and now his main job was to keep Seanpany, so he went
along.
In the stone–opening room, there were already a lot of gamblers who came to open their stones, some
of them found emeralds in their stone and some found nothing and lost money. Right now, everyone
was curious about what was inside the stone Paxton had auctioned with forty million.
Finally, Paxton’s stone was here and Paxton gripped the armrests of the chair and held his breath.
