Chapter 285:
Looking at Harlee with hopeful eyes, Fritz was confident that either stone would be a solid choice and likely to contain green jade.
âNeither,â Harlee replied, pulling out a small, pitch-black raw stone from her pocket.
âI prefer this one.â
Fritz blinked in surprise.
Could this stunning woman really have such unusual taste? That ugly-looking stoneâcould it possibly hold green jade? She must be joking.
Still, Fritz refrained from questioning Harleeâs choice, knowing she was a friend of Aldrichâs. The last thing he wanted was to face another embarrassing scolding from Aldrich.
Aldrich took the unremarkable stone from Harlee and handed it to Fritz.
âHarlee, thanks for your gift for my brother!â Aldrich chuckled.
This stone was going to make him a fortune.
He had seen Harlee gamble on uncut stones twice before, each time walking away with either glass jade or pure green jade.
Both times, she had earned a substantial fortune.
Now, it was finally his turn to make a fortune from this gamble.
Harlee looked down, her eyebrow arching in quiet acceptance.
Fritz was dumbfounded.
He didnât like this unattractive stone.

He started to walk away.
Before Fritz could get far, Aldrich grabbed him by the collar.
âWhy are you hesitating? Go buy it!â
Fritz hesitated, wanting to refuse, but ultimately, with a resigned sigh, he swallowed his words.
Fine.
Heâd consider it as paying for the pleasure of a smile from Harlee.
Fritz convinced himself, albeit reluctantly, and prepared to part with the stones he had initially wanted.
âIâm heading to make the payment now. I really amâ¦â
Seeing that no one was going to stop him, and with Aldrich looking almost eager to push him forward, Fritz walked toward the counter to pay for the stone. These plain raw stones were ready to be cut as soon as they were paid for, no bidding required.
âHave you got that memorized?â Harleeâs tone was even.
Aldrichâs expression turned more serious as he gave a small nod.
âAbsolutely.â
âHarlee, are you sure about going through with the plan tonight?â He was concerned for Fritzâs well-being.
