196 Rainborite stone
She put the phone down and went about her business, thinking another message would be sent in a
while to apologize and tell her it was a mistake. But after thirty minutes, no message. That was when
she decided to read the message well. It was transferred to by Heng Caroline.
“Who is that?” She frowned. She decided to call her bank manager but a secondyer, she stopped
herself and thought to tell Maverick instead.
Maverick’s phone rang inside the car. Seeing the ID, he picked it up, then her confused voice
sounded.
“Plum, I got lots of money transferred to my ount. I don’t know how that is possible.”
“It’s from your mother–inw.”
“Huh? What mother–inw?” Jeslyn gasped in shock. His mother?? Her face distorted. How is that
possible? She has heard little about their rtionship, so that woman would certainly not give her such
an amount. “Plum, what are you hiding from me? Say the truth.”
“It’s herpensation for what she did to you and Valen.”
Rex eyed him. It wasn’t proven yet, so why is he lying? Why can’t he say he stole it from her?
“Oh, so…she was part of the n?” Jeslyn asked.
“Mm…probably.”
“That’s good then. Hope you emptied her ount?”
Maverick smiled. His wife is smart. “Mn.”
“Good. I’ll visit her soon to thank her.”
“At the hospital, if you want to go,” Maverick suggested.
“Oh? She’s at the hospital? That’s brilliant. A heart attack suits her perfectly. I should think of expensive
flowers to gift to her.” Her lips curled up before ending the call. She gripped her phone tightly before
looking down at Valen who was holding the edge of the jacket she was wearing.
The child had refused to let her leave. They’ve been together for hours now. She wanted to go to the
kitchen to prepare them a big feast, but Valen refused.
“Child, don’t you want to eat something delicious?”
“I do,”
“Then, let me make it for you.”
He stayed silent for a while with his lips ttened. Then he said: “I’lle with you.”
“That won’t do.” Jeslyn shook her head. “An ident might happen in the kitchen. I don’t want to see
you hurt again.”
“Then… cali dad back so he can enter the kitchen while you stay with me.”

“Hahaha… we can’t do that. Dad is busy.”
“Then, let’s go to him so we can eat out.”
Jeslyn’s eyes brightened. “Good idea…” she looked down at the wheelchair and sighed. “Will
comfortable going out like this?”
Valen nodded.

She called Maverick to tell him they wereing but he didn’t answer his phone. “Valen, dad didn’t
answer. He must be busy.” She said, a little disappointed.
“Call Uncle Rex.”
“Ok…” She called Rex and he immediately picked up.
“Yo, sister–inw, you need something?” He smiled.
“I can’t reach your brother.”
“He’s in a meeting, why?…eeech, you miss him, don’t you?” He winked with a foolish grin on his face.
“Stop talking rubbish. Valen and I wanted to go out, so…”
“Ah, that’s wonderful! I’ll get Code 2 to bring you to the office.” Rex replied excitedly.
Jeslyn didn’t know why Rex was happier than them but she’ll know in a while.
Inside the meeting room, Maverick was sitting on a ck office chair, reading a document. Once he
was done, he threw the document on the long rectangr table and leaned back to rest on the chair,
while staring at thedy sitting across from him.
Emilee didn’t appear to be pressured but her heartbeat was loud enough for her to hear. 1
Christine on the other hand, wasn’t as confident as her sister, so she lowered her head while ying
with her fingers in nervousness. She had no idea that only sitting in front of the almighty Maverick could
cause her palms to sweat and her hair to stand on end.
He is so scary! How does Jeslyn manage this? She must be a s3x toy to him. She thought. Even
though. he’s such a person, she can’t give up.
With this determination, Christine raised her head to size him up just once but ended up lost In his
demeanor and handsomeness.
“You said what?” Maverick asked in a deep and unfriendly voice.
“Our Yu cooperation wants to coborate with yourpany. We want a share of the Rainborite stone
and in return, we will give you whatever you want, including the procedure to create a realistic
world.”
Maverick looked at her without speaking for almost five minutes. The silence was too intense and
nerve–wrecking. Just when Emilee was about to speak, he askednguidly; “Why?”
“Because…” Emilee paused and looked at him speechlessly. Why is he asking her such a silly
question? Why would apany want to coborate with another if they didn’t see value in what they
are coborating for?
“Mr. Maverick…” She took a deep breath. “We both know what the rainborite stone is and there are
hints that the Mine is in your custody.” She paused. “My Yu family understands that your people found
it, so naturally, it’s yours. That’s why I’m here to talk about this diplomatically unlike the other forces that
would want to force your hand. The government would call it national resources, the higher–ups would
call it their property, and the Xu family and other families won’t sit back when they hear about it too.
However, allowing us to coborate means that you won’t be fighting alone when that time
ording to the history of Country M, Rainborite stone is a gemstone that went extinct hundreds of
thousands of years ago. The stone was strangely rare at the same time, it was the most sought–after
mineral resource, especially by women because of its ability to change into different colors depending
on the temperature, weather, season, and ces the stone is kept. It also made the best–looking
jewelry of all time. Thest piece of jewelry that was made from it caused deaths among women in
Country M before the government confiscated it and kept it away in a museum..
