Chapter 347 Aspen felt a sharp , burning pain on her face .


    Christina was stunned too , unable to believe the sudden turn of events .


    Aspen had opened such a good gem , so how could she still lose ? Fine , Ill admit defeat for the first round , Aspen said , her voice cold as she could not bear the eyes of the crowd anymore .


    Andrew, do you dare to go for another round ? Andrew waved her off .


    Theres no need to hurry , Ill deal with things first .


    Right in front of Aspen and everyone else , Andrew casually gathered Aspens green tourmaline and his own rare red spinel and handed them to Francesca .


    Francesca blushed .


    Andrew , I cant carry these .


    Its fine .


    Theyre ours anyway .


    Just keep an eye on them .


    Dont let anyone steal them .


    Francesca beamed , nearly bursting with excitement .


    These were two high quality gems though she was not an expert , she knew they were worth a fortune .


    Nheless , it was not about the money .


    What mattered was that Aspen , that nasty woman , had lost to Andrew she deserved it ! Elsie said , Mr.


    Lloyd , dont worry .


    We have full surveince here .


    Your things will be safe .


    Andrew nodded and nced over at the scowling Aspen .


    Im not worried .


    Im just afraid someone might not handle losing well and try to steal my spoils .


    Aspen fumed , her face turning red with rage .


    Andrew , youre getting too cocky now .


    When did I ever not handle losing ? You won , so take everything as per the agreement .


    She could tell Andrew was intentionally provoking her , but in that moment , Aspen could barely hold herself back .


    This bastard was pushing her buttons .


    Christina added coldly , Andrew , just because you won one round doesnt mean youll keep winning .


    1 Only the one whoughsst is truly victorious , just like you said getting too happy too soon will lead to tears .


    Andrew smirked .


    Youre right , but thats just who I am .


    When I feel like being arrogant , I cant stop myself .


    Christina gritted her teeth , unsure how to respond .


    She did not like Andrews arrogance, but she was powerless to do anything about it .


    Aspen , her face darkened , said , Andrew , are you going to y again or not ? If youre scared , 1/2  go home and keep celebrating your win .


    Andrew shrugged .


    If youve got endless money to burn and want to give it to me , Im happy to take it .


    Aspen was fuming .


    You mightve won once , but dont think youll get a second chance .


    Remember , what goes aroundes around .


    I wont fall in the same ce twice .


    Andrew shook his head .


    I already told you that no matter what happens , youll lose .


    Your only choice is to stay away from me from now on .


    Aspens face grew darker as she selected her second stone .


    This time , she picked a small but perfectly suited rough stone , one that matched her trained eye .


    She had to win this round .


    After all , it was herst chance to recover , to turn things around .


    Cut it open , please , Aspen instructed the cutter firmly .


    The cutter hesitated , ncing nervously at Andrews side .


    There was clear concern in his eyes .


    He had sided with Aspen earlier , but he feared the consequences of angering Andrew .
