Chapter 487 She Is So Fierce

When Ziggy acquired a high grade gemstone a few years ago, Jim had handed him a huge investment,

allowing him to open such a shop.

With the backing of the Carnegies, the performance of the shop rose exponentially, making it the most

profitable shop in the Carnegie Family.

Is this woman trying to acquire the shop?

However, Elise was able to see through his thoughts immediately.

“Stop thinking about it. I don’t want your shop,” she uttered. “However, I’m interested in your staff. If I win,

I will get to choose any of your staff members in the shop. What do you say?”

Puzzled by her words, Ziggy couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

I don’t recall anyone in the shop being outstanding. What is this woman aiming at?

“If you are afraid of a bet, you can always admit defeat.” Elise provoked him in a strange tone.

As expected, he fell for it instantly. “Who says that I’m afraid? It’s a deal. I won’t even bat an eyelash if

you asked for the entire shop, let alone someone who works there!”

“Fine. I’ll just take the entire shop then!” Elise said with confidence.

“You—” Ziggy didn’t expect her to be so confident with herself, so it became hard for him to step away

from the challenge. Since he had already said what he said, he couldn’t embarrass the entire Carnegie

Family in front of everyone. Therefore, he withdrew his curses and began to put on a show. “Just you

wait and see!”

After that, he left with his subordinates.

Not long after, Melody went up to Elise and asked in a concerned tone, “Miss Sinclair, are you actually

familiar with stone gambling?”

“I know nothing about it.” Elise smiled uncaringly.

In truth, she only had a superficial understanding of stone gambling.

Upon hearing that, Kenneth quickly walked up to her. “Miss Sinclair, if you are willing to ask me, I won’t

mind helping you once more.”

She immediately gave him a sharp glare. “If you want to keep your dignity, you better stay away from me

in the future.”

After that, she left without looking back.

Standing at the same spot, Kenneth shook his head silently. “She is so fierce…”

Even though he was ridiculing her, he couldn’t help but reveal a delighted smile.

Feeling a chilling sense behind her back, Melody turned around and shivered when she noticed his

smile. “Boss, you do know that your smile is terrifying, right?”

In the end, Elise found Tom among the crowd.

“Miss Ander—” Before he could finish his words, he was met with Elise’s murderous gaze, so he quickly

corrected himself. “Miss Elise, are you alright? I heard that someone was causing trouble at the party. I

was looking around for you!”

“I’m fine.” She placed her hand on his shoulder. “Do you know who Tina Baker is?”

Tom froze. Upon seeing that, Elise smiled knowingly. As expected, he actually knows who she is.

Time passed and the gem auction event was around the corner.

Although the event was held every year, because of the God’s Chosen Girl incident last year, countless

people who dreamed of being rich overnight suddenly had hope. Therefore, many people had come to

the event, wishing to be the next ‘chosen one’ and climb to the top of the social ladder.

At 10 AM, Elise and Tom entered the venue.

When they arrived at the entrance, they got a glimpse of the gemstones of different sizes displayed on

each side of the hall.

Tom instantly became obsessed with the dazzling rows of gemstones displayed, and he felt as though he

was in heaven as he glided into the hall.

“This is my first time seeing such a sight. The quality of these gemstones are so different!” he exclaimed

while his eyes lit up.

Just as Elise was about to tease him with a smile, the mocking voice of a man was heard behind them.

“Are you really saying that these are gemstones of good quality? The reason why you can touch and see

it is because they are just playthings that are not worthy of joining the hall of honor. The real treasure has

not been taken out yet, and only that is considered as one of the rarest treasures in the world.”

The man looked at Tom, as if the latter was a clown, before his lascivious gaze landed on Elise.

By his voice alone, she could instantly recognize that it was Ziggy, so she didn’t even bother to turn

around.

Instead, she followed Tom around the hall to check on the gemstones.

All of a sudden, Elise’s gaze locked onto a direction.

“Tom!” She nudged him before lifting her chin and pointing in the direction she was looking at. “Look

carefully—what do you think about those gemstones?”

Bewildered, he looked and saw the dozens of gemstones of all sizes stacked over each other, but he

couldn’t see what was so special with them.

Behind him, Ziggy chuckled. “Pretty girl, didn’t anyone tell you that the exquisite gemstones won’t be

displayed in the outer hall? Even if you are the God’s Chosen Girl, you will find that all the exquisite

stones come from the inner hall. Do you seriously think that you can compete with me when it comes to

this? By the looks of it, the two of us are destined to be together in bed!”

However, Elise ignored him and dragged Tom over to the pile of gemstones. “Look at them carefully.”

Although he agreed with what Ziggy said, Elise was now his boss and he couldn’t defy her, so he had no

choice but to pick up the gemstones one by one obediently to have a look.

Meanwhile, Elise did not waste her time, and she kept on reciting in her mind the trick that the old man

gave her while scanning through all the gemstones nearby. Occasionally, she would pick them up and

weigh them in her hand.

Most of the people who attended the gem auction would rush into the inner hall immediately in search of

that gemstone which would grant them a fortune overnight. The people in the outer hall were just there to

pass the time and chat with each other. Almost no one was interested in the gemstones displayed on

each side.

Therefore, Elise and Tom, who were seriously examining the gemstones, easily stood out from the rest.

“Are those two that inexperienced? Everyone knows that the gemstones aren’t that much different from

the stones you pick up beside the road. It’ll be easier for them to just pick a stone on the side of the

road!”

“I heard that this woman has a bet with Ziggy. I reckon that she has lost her mind. Everyone knows that

the Carnegie Family is in a hot streak this year, and I heard that they have a secret weapon on hand. I

can’t believe she agreed to the bet given how far apart their abilities are. If it was me, I would never

agree to it!”

“A secret weapon? Could it be…”

“Let’s not make any judgments first. Maybe she is also another God’s Chosen Girl. Ha!”

As they continued with their conversation, Elise, who was standing in a corner, suddenly carried a

second-hand gemstone in her hand and walked toward the person responsible for registration. “I want

this. Please register it for me. Thank you.”

Immediately, the onlookers were rendered speechless.

She is too hasty! How could she make such a decision without thinking it through? Does she think this is

a game?

Even the person in charge of registration couldn’t help but look at her strangely, but he still completed the

registration professionally.

At the moment, almost half of the people in the hall felt sorry for Elise. She really doesn’t have the talent

for this, does she?

They were sure that the gemstone she chose wouldn’t lead to anything good.

While Elise calmly watched the staff member record the gemstone she chose, a figure suddenly

appeared next to her.

“Miss Sinclair, I believe I should explain to you that all the gemstones in the outer hall are low grade

stones. There isn’t much chance of getting a high grade jadeite from them.”

This time, Elise was a little surprised, because this wasn’t the first time Melody had tried to help her.

Is she now beyond saving? Not only can she tolerate her man’s philandering, she can also accept and

protect the woman her man actually loves.

“Thank you, but I believe that no stone or person should be judged while under uncertainty. Until the last

moment, no one can say for sure that this gemstone has no value at all,” Elise said in a calm tone. Even

though her voice wasn’t loud, the onlookers around her could hear her every word clearly.
