    197 Meeting Christine (1)


    The stone threw the world into chaos for centuries until it suddenly disappeared like it appeared.


    Rainborite precious stone is said to be a mystery with different myths. 1


    No one knows how ites and goes. Some said it holds the power of the world, some said it fell from


    heaven, and others it is a wish–granting stone. Even a little piece of it can grant wishes. Although many


    people don’t believe such myths, it doesn’t mean that they won’t want the stone. After all, a mustard


    seed–sized Rainborite stone is enough to shoot a poor family into the ranks of riches, let alone a whole


    mine!


    Maverick shifted his gaze from Emilee to his ringing phone. He picked it up to hear Rex’s voice. After


    he was done with the call, he ced the phone back on the table and finally spoke; “Worry for yourself.


    The stone is mine to worry about.”


    “Mr. Maverick,” Emilee smiled. “I knew you’d say that. The family and I discussed and came to the


    conclusion that we want only 20% of the stone. What do you say?” She waited with expectation. She


    was sure he would agree.


    “1%…I’m not giving.”


    “Mr. Maverick, this…” She frowned. Does he know what he is saying? She heard about his possession


    of a Rainborite Mine from a reliable source and immediately scheduled a meeting with him without the


    family elders knowing. If she is able to close the deal with him, those in the family who hate her would


    undoubtedly ept her and if Damienes back, everyone will reject him, making her the authorized


    ruler.


    Emilee nned to take Maverick down with this Mine. After she gets hers, she would spread the news


    about Maverick owning a mine and ce a target on his back. While the whole world is after him, she


    would push the Yu family to the top of the charts, seizing power from Maverick then.


    However, now that he doesn’t want to give her any, she can’t expose him, else she’ll lose out on the


    fortune. “Mr. Maverick, you should think about it. I shall reschedule a meeting with you to discuss it next


    time. Have a nice day.” She got up and left with Christine.


    After they left, Maverick also got up and walked out, abandoning the contract on the table for the


    cleanings to get rid of.


    The cleaners know that whatever Maverick leaves on the table is to be thrown out or burnt.


    Outside thepany…


    Emilee and Christine were walking to their car with their guards when Christine caught a glimpse of a


    lady in a mask pushing a child in a wheelchair.


    Christine paused in her steps because thedy looked too familiar, at the same time, unfamiliar. “Jes–


    Jeslyn?” She called softly in doubt.


    The


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    gorgeousdy she saw was wearing a long peach coat with a double–breastedpel, hemmed with


    lace on the edge. Inside the coat was a straight white gown that stopped on her thigh while the coat


    stopped above her knee. She was also wearing ck shades and a white mask.


    The child, on the other hand, was wearing a white polo shirt and ck shorts with ck light brown


    shades. His long bang was pushed off his face. The child was simply too beautiful that Christine


    suddenly felt the urge to get pregnant… but for Maverick only.


    Although she couldn’t see thedy well due to the number of hefty guards protecting them, she was


    able to see the child when he was helped into his wheelchair.


    Hearing that, Emilee stopped walking and turned in Jeslyn’s direction.


    The group walked past them without even sparing them a nce. She behaved like they were invisible


    “Jeslyn!” Christine called, a little loudly. She wasn’t sure if thedy was Jeslyn, so she wanted to


    confirm.


    “Stop right there!” Emilee chimed in. If Christine says it’s Jeslyn, then it must be her. She also wants to


    see that Jeslyn that was able to marry Maverick and is still alive until today. She’s even pushing


    Maverick’s child around and also caused Mn’s death without raising a gun..


    Jeslyn and her group didn’t stop until they got to the elevator and got in before she turned to look at


    both her sisters. However, the distance was a little too far and she was still being shielded which was


    why they couldn’t confirm her identity,


    “Are you sure that was Jeslyn?” Emilee asked.


    “I’m not certain but she reminded me of her.”


    “If you were topare both, what difference did you spot?” Emilee asked.


    “Jeslyn is a carefree girl. She’s always smiling and looking happy. But this one has the vibe of a


    powerful Young Miss.”


    “Has Jeslyn never shown you another side of her before?”


    Christine thought for a while before she snapped her finger. “She was different when I visited her in jail.


    She even used lots of censored words”


    “Then, she’s Jeslyn,” Emilee concluded before getting into her red car.


    Christine froze in her spot. That was Jeslyn?! How is that possible?!


    “I don’t have the whole day!” Emilee cried out from the car, startling Christine who hurriedly got into the


    car before it zoomed off. They have a meeting with the director of Sparkle entertainment and need to


    be there as soon as possible.


    Inside thepany, the workers couldn’t stop ogling Jeslyn and Valen. They had no idea who Jeslyn


    was but they knew Valen was their boss‘ son.


    For the saucy little child to allow thedy to push his wheelchair while looking content, it must be that


    thedy is a nanny with high rank.


    Although they thought Jeslyn was Valen’s nanny, they didn’t dare to look down on her because of an


    Incident that happened with Ms. Mn.


    A worker thought he could disrespect her because she was just a Nanny. Little Valen got angry


    because he felt he was being looked down on, so he ordered the worker to be fired. To this day, that


    worker is still roaming the streets, looking for a job.
