Chapter 1382 Is It Pretty?
Chapter 1382 Is it pretty?
Mrs. Soo''s son had pulled off the cover that had been hiding her shame for so many years, and she
had be somewhat crazy.
"Agnes, you''ve been dead for so many years! Why do you keep haunting me like this?!"
"I didn''t do anything wrong to you. It''s just that you had bad luck, which led to your early death!"
"If it was me who married into the Turner family back then, I would have done better than you..."
Jayden was frightened to tears by his mother''s dark and fierce appearance.
However, Mrs. Soo seemed to be deaf to her youngest son''s crying, and was only cursing Mrs. Turner
with all her heart.
...
Downstairs.
Selena, Leia, and Hattie had taken a tour inside and outside the entire venue and picked out dozens of
stones.
As Selena seemed to be ready to call it a day, Hattie suddenly remembered something and said,
"Selena, in addition to these stones that are disyed for sale, there is also a batch of high-quality raw
stones that are specially used for auctioning at ordinary jade gambling events."
"The best jade at these gambling events are usually carved out from those stones."
Selena, who was unaware of these rules, smiled when she heard Hattie''s words and said, "Let''s go
take a look."
Leia found a waiter and asked for the location of the auction area. The three girls walked over there
with ease.
It was only after Selena arrived that she realized that almost all of the top-notch wealthy people in the
capital''s aristocratic circle had gathered in this area.
As soon as Selena appeared, she received weird nces from the entire room. It was evident that her
purchase of a "Turtle" had already spread to this ce.
Selena was calm and looked around for a ce to sit.
A young master from a wealthy family who was sitting in the front row stood up and said, "Miss Turner,
there is a seat here."
Selena was about to refuse, but a in voice came first, "Thank you, but they already have seats."
Selena looked up and saw Leon walking over.
"Come here."
Hattie sneered and held Selena''s hand, walking over to the empty seat that Leon had upied.
This was the front row, a separate empty table with an excellent view.
The only thing that was unsatisfactory was that the Riddle family was sitting across from them.
As soon as Selena arrived, she received several resentful nces.
Then Selena found that her mood had improved even more, picked up a cup of tea, and elegantly
sipped it twice.
Not long after, Aurelia came over with Edith. When she saw Selena, Aurelia smiled and nodded, then
sat down on her left.
Hattie snorted.
Selena looked over curiously. "Hattie, you don''t like her?"
Although she had disliked many people before, such as Leah, Georgia, and Constance, she could still
maintain peace on the surface.
This was the first time she had clearly expressed her dislike for someone.
Hattie nodded firmly, "I don''t like her!"
Selena raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
Although she didn''t know Aurelia''s true character, so far, she had not done anything particrly
outrageous. Why did Hattie hate her so much?
"I don''t know," Hattie stared at Aurelia for a moment, "I just hate her when I see her!"
Then she added, "The more I look at her, the more I hate her!"
Selenaughed and patted her hair. "Just ignore her then."
Aurelia had not been here for long before Nichs brought the Soo family down to sit at the same table
as her.
The auction on stage began soon after.
The ways capitalists made money were truly diverse.
These stones disyed on the stage, whether in shape or pattern, were much better than those in the
trading area.
The chances of getting jade were naturally much higher.
Of course, the auction prices were much higher than those marked in the trading area.
Selena was clearly interested in shopping for the first time.
However, she didn''t bid on any of the first batch of stones disyed on stage, and instead, Aurelia
picked one of them.
After several batches, Selena still didn''t bid, and Leon reminded her, "We''re almost halfway through."
In other words, if she didn''t bid soon, she might not be able to beat Aurelia.
Selena shook her head, "No rush."
Leon''s lips twitched as he looked at Selena''s rxed expression. He couldn''t help asking, "What are
you considering when picking a stone?"
Judging from Selena''s initial choice of a "turtle," he found that she really didn''t know how to pick a
stone. But she had said that she would beat Aurelia.
ording to Selena''s style, she must have a n.
Leon originally thought Selena wouldn''t answer his question, especially with so many people around.
But unexpectedly, Selena blinked and actually replied, "Of course, considering whether it''s good-
looking or not..."
Leon and a group of people with their ears pricked up were shocked.
Edith burst outughing, "What an idiot!"

In the silence, herughter sounded particrly clear. Leia was so angry that she was about to stand
up and hit her, but Aurelia had already taken the lead and scolded Edith, "Edith, apologize to Miss
Turner!"
Edith pouted and said indifferently, "I just said something random, I didn''t name anyone. Why should I
apologize?"
Aurelia was so angry that she red at her sister, then turned to Selena and said, "I''m sorry, Miss
Turner. Please don''t take it to heart."
Selena remained calm and sipped her tea.
Leia picked up her cup and snapped it, her eyes fixed on Edith with a murderous look. "That''s right. It''s
like if you go outter and get hit by a car, beaten up in a bag, or get hit by a flower pot falling from
above... it''s all your fault for your mouth!"
Edith shuddered and leaned towards Aurelia, still stubbornly insisting, "I didn''t say anything wrong.
Even a neer who knows nothing knows not to pick a stone just because it looks good."
"It''s one thing if she doesn''t know, but she shouldn''t stop others from speaking out. That''s just too
domineering!"
Leia sneered.
Selena couldn''t be bothered to argue with this kind of person and called out, "Leia."
Leia sat down with a huff, but her gaze towards the Bet sisters had a hint of coldness.
Aurelia red at her sister.
Edith pouted but ultimately didn''t dare to say anything more.
The auction on the tform continued.
Another batch of stones was brought up.
Selena looked over them and finally fixed her gaze on one of them.
She raised her hand and pointed at the stone, but before she could speak, Aurelia''s voice rang out
first...
