Chapter 262


    Felicia hurriedly walked toward Jennifer and said to her, “Jennifer, hurry up and say you agree! I''ll


    get into trouble as well if you make Mr. Leo angry!”


    After a pause, she went on to say, “If you really can''t do it, then I’ll just pay the one hundred


    thousand!”


    Jennifer scanned her surroundings, then she shivered as she felt a chill down her spine.


    She could see through the floor-to-ceiling window that a lot of people had surrounded the ce.


    All of them had borate tattoos of dragons and phoenixes on their bodies, indicating that they


    were debt collectors.


    Each and every single one of them was staring at Jennifer like she was prey.


    “Okay, but Mr. Leo has to keep his promise!” Jennifer whispered, her whole body trembling.


    After that, Jennifer took out her phone to pay the one hundred thousand.


    A momentter, an old man entered with a mini cutter machine.


    “This man here is an appraiser, so he would never resort to tricks for the sake of our rtionship.


    Don''t worry.” Mr. Leo leaned against the couch, while Felicia walked to his back and gave him a


    shoulder massage.


    Then, the old man started cutting the stone, resulting in a loud and sharp noise. Jennifer could feel


    her heart in her throat.


    She understood nothing about stone gambling, after all.


    When the stone was cut to a depth of one-third of its size, the jade within the stone was still not


    visible, so Jennifer started to rx.


    “Impossible. This stone is at least a million years old. It''s impossible that it contains nothing,” Felicia


    said.


    The old man continued cutting the stone. In the end, the de produced a loud ng, and sparks


    were seen.


    Lloyd''s expression became focused, and he hurriedly sat up to stare at the stone seriously. “Start


    the peeling process.”


    With a nod, the old man began to do as instructed.


    A few momentster, the old man had an eight-sided even-faced crystal that was the size of a


    baby''s fist in his palms, which he then showed to Lloyd. “It''s not valuable. It''s just an even-faced


    crystal that has a simr market price as agate.”


    Lloyd seemed very disappointed. He then threw the crystal at Jennifer, who caught it and carefully


    ced it in her own handbag.


    “Can I go now, Mr. Leo?” Jennifer asked.


    With a dark expression on his face, he nodded in spite of his reluctance.


    “Go.”


    As if she had escaped a death sentence, Jennifer walked on her high heels and hurried out of the


    office.


    The moment she exited the office, though, she was blocked by a person.


    When she looked up, her face instantly paled, for the person was none other than Rupert.


    He was a demon who would kill without hesitation, as proven by the contents in the sh drive and


    the incident at the chemical nt in the western suburbs.

    After the incident in the chemical nt in the western suburbs, Anastasia was killed by Donald,


    whereas Rupert went into hiding. Coincidentally, Tyrone came to Pollerton, and Rupert appeared


    again. However, he soon went into hiding again, so Chiliad Avion never had the chance to capture


    Rupert.


    Never once did Jennifer expect that Rupert would appear in Cosmic za.


    “Ms. Wilson, we meet again.” The smile on Rupert''s face was incredibly sinister. He was showing


    his teeth as he smiled, which was such a scary sight that would send chills down anyone''s spine.


    “Hello, Mr. Rodriguez,” Jennifer replied somewhat fearfully as she took a step back.


    Rupert took a step closer to her while he pushed his sses up his nose.


    “Ms. Wilson, you seem rather scared of me. May I know why?”


    Jennifer forced a smile and replied, “No, I''m not scared of you. You''re funny, Mr. Rodriguez.”


    Rupert merely smiled while shaking his head. Then, an incredibly savage look appeared on his


    face, and he held her by her neck. “You''ve actuallye out unharmed from the chemical nt in


    the western suburbs. Pray tell, what happened that day?”


    His sister, Anastasia, had died in a terrible manner, and the sh drive had disappeared, so he was


    in a constantly unsettled state. All of his trustworthy assistants had all died in the chemical nt,


    and even the list of the people who had previouslye into contact with the girl, Sara, was gone.


    Without the list, he would never know who hade into contact with Sara, and who were the ones


    who had escaped the chemical nt.
