Five million dollars for that, Kira would definitely regret it.
Claire nodded, “Well, as long as the price is fit, we can purchase the slightly inferior ones. The Jade Chamber of Commerce is a big event, there are a lot of merchants here, we should purchase more.”
Victor was nowhere to be seen since Claire and Sean walked out of the lounge,
when he ran over from somewhere, he whispered something in Sean’s ear.
Sean listened and then quietly walked Claire aside while Zayn and Owen were
checking the raw gemstones.
“Claire, just now Victor got the news that there’s a mine owner who bought an emerald mine in another country, but because of poor turnover, he doesn’t have the money to mine it, and he came here today to look for a business partner.”
Claire smiled in surprise, “Is the news true?”
“Uh–huh.” Sean glanced at Victor, “You can trust Victor. But he said that the
miner is not most concerned with money, he wants to work with the one who got
the best stone here.”
He couldn’t even make ends meet yet he had conditions?
Claire thought the mine owner was interesting.
“Sir, I found out that one of the mines owned by the Felix family has been exhausted, Joseph came here today might be to look for a partner as well. You can leave this to me, but I need you to keep an eye on Joseph for me”

“Okay.”
After the conversation, the two of them walked back over to the others.
Zayn, as Claire’s appraiser, could make the decisions on buying
not–so–expensive gemstones.
In such a short while, Zayn had purchased five raw gemstones.
Claire raised her hand and patted his shoulder, “Zayn, I’ll leave the searching for raw materials to you. I’ll walk around the venue, we’ll split
up.”
Zayn turned his head and saw Claire’s gleaming eyes. She was smiling, it seemed she already had a plan in her mind.
“Boss, don’t worry, just leave it to me. The products here are expensive, we should focus on buying raw materials.”
“Uh–huh!”
After the conversation, Claire and Sean took Belle and Jon and split up with Zayn and Owen.
Julia, of course, went with Claire, she took the initiative to hold Jon’s hand, giving Claire the most space.
On the first floor of the venue, there were a lot of guests, and although it didn’t reach the point of being crowded, there were people around every seller.
Claire always felt like there was a pair of eyes on her all the time, she
turned back, looking through the crowd, and suddenly, her eyes met Paula’s.

Was she… looking at her?

Claire always felt that there was something indescribable about the way Paula looked at her like she was sizing her up or she was trying to see through her.
“Claire, what are you looking at?”
Claire turned back to Sean and smiled, “Nothing, it’s just that Paula Summers keeps looking at me.”
“Hmm.” Sean nodded, “Both the Felix family and the Summers family got hit pretty hard by the pink crystal matter, I think Joseph also has his eyes on you now, not just Paula.”
Claire smiled knowingly, it seemed that Paula had arranged for Kira to come and take the raw gemstone from her just now.
They wanted to follow her and steal the materials from her?
“Sir, it looks like I’m being targeted, it might be a bit hard to get the best stone today.”
“It’s okay.” Sean took her hand, “Just do your best and leave the rest to me.”
Claire had faith in Sean’s abilities, but she wasn’t stupid enough to let someone else take what she had her eye on.
There was a raw gemstone about seventy centimeters, there had been a lot of people who saw it. For that piece of raw gemstone, most people didn’t hold any hope because it was too expensive, and it was hard to tell if there was an emerald inside.

Claire walked over, took out her flashlight and shone it at the skin of the
raw gemstone, then carefully observed it before asking the seller, “How much is this?”
The seller had an obvious accent as he excitedly introduced to Claire, “This was dug out in Josilvia, a country rich in emeralds. I won’t lie to you, miss, obviously, you are an expert. You must be able to see the value of this

Julia raised her hand and said a little impatiently, “She asked about the price, just tell us the price.”
“The price…”
The seller smiled and rubbed his hands, then raised his hand and slapped it on the gemstone, “It’s not expensive! Three million!”
“Pfft…”
Julia was shocked.
He wanted three million dollars for a stone that looked so plain and ordinary?
No wonder no one wanted it!

Claire raised her hand and rubbed her chin as if she was thinking about
something, just then, Kira walked over again, raised her hand and handed the card to the seller, “I’ll take it.”
Saying this, she turned her head to look at the seller, “Don’t try to raise the price, I heard you just now. You just said three million.”
Claire smiled when she heard Kira. It seemed she had learned her lesson.
After she finished entering her PIN, Kira arrogantly looked at Claire, “How does it feel? What you want being taken away from you?”
“Hmm.” Claire seriously nodded her head, “It feels good. I hope you can keep
that smile when the stone is cut open.”
With that, she turned around and walked away, not even giving Kira an extra
glance.
“You!”
Kira clenched her hands and jumped in anger, “Claire, did you set me up
again?”
Claire didn’t turn around, just lifted her hand and waved, the meaning was clear – guess!
After Kira bought the raw gemstone, she went back to Paula.
“Mom, I think Claire set me up.”
She handed Paula the receipt, “Look, another three million!”
Paula took the receipt and just glanced at it lightly before putting it in

After Kira bought the raw gemstone, she went back to Paula.
“Mom, I think Claire set me up.”
She handed Paula the receipt, “Look, another three million!”
Paula took the receipt and just glanced at it lightly before putting it in her bag.
The idea came from Samuel, who said that since Claire was able to get that pink crystal at such a low price, Kira could follow her and when she had her eyes on something, Kira could take it from her.
But now… They had spent eight million and taken two gemstones from Claire, Kira couldn’t see any sadness or anger on Claire’s face.
She even seemed to be… gloating?
“Mom, I think Claire just got lucky last time, we can’t let her set us up.”
Samuel frowned slightly, “But we can’t leave her any chance to get the best stone. As long as she didn’t get it, she wouldn’t have any chance at getting that mine!”
