Chapter 4

A Lesson

Vivian turned around and smiled. “Sir, you sound like a professional?”

Pierre had always thought that only men could enter a silent battlefield like the stone gambling den and that women should do housework and take care of their children at home. It was right for them to stay behind men.

Upon hearing Vivian’s question, Pierre smiled faintly. I have at least 20 years of experience!

The Pierre family was an auction house that specialized in Jade and antiques. He had been in the stone gambling den with his father since he was 20 years old. Although he had suffered some losses occasionally, he had a unique vision.

Vivian sneered and did not reply. She turned her head and touched the stone placed at the front of the table.

Pierre was annoyed by the sneer. “Charles, you’re not being picky with your customers anymore. You even let in people who don’t know sh*t!

Charles was the manager in charge of the stone gambling area. Seeing Vivian’s dress, he knew that she was a wealthy person. He didn’t want to offend her, so he could only try to smooth things over.

Vivian was infuriated by the other party’s continuous provocation. She was very unhappy at the moment, but there was no expression on her face. The words that came out of her mouth were sharp and mean. “Sir, how inferior do you have to be to gain that little self-esteem by suppressing women time and time again? ”

After hearing this, Pierre shouted in exasperation, “What did you say, you b*tch! A slut who only knows how to lie under a man doesn’t need me to suppress her!”

Vivian’s cold eyes stared at Pierre, and she laid a trap for him. “Since you’re so proud of your ability to pick raw stones, why don’t we make a bet? ”

“Alright, I accept your challenge! Let the facts prove whether you should appear in the stone gambling den or not!” Pierre glared at Vivian with a victorious smile on his face.

Vivian was afraid that he would disagree. She didn’t provoke anyone. She was here to gamble on stones. As soon as she entered, she was targeted and mocked by him. Now, he even spoke ill of her. She couldn’t tolerate this kind of man who didn’t know how to respect others. She had to teach him a good lesson!

“Alright, then let’s invite everyone here to be the witness of this bet. We’ll each pick five raw gemstones. Whoever got the best quality raw gemstone will win!”

Pierre raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently. “No problem!”

Vivian’s lips curled into a smile. “Since it’s a bet, we have to make a bet. If I lose, I’ll agree to this gentleman’s condition as long as it’s not illegal. But if this gentleman loses, you must apologize to me and pay for the raw stones everyone here has picked out! Do you dare to?”

Pierre looked at Vivian’s provocative smile and immediately shouted back, “Why wouldn’t I dare! But you just made two requests to me, so I have to make one more request. If you lose, you must kneel on the ground and bark like a dog!”

Vivian agreed readily. The onlookers were excited to see the show and get some benefits at the same time, so they cheered enthusiastically.

The match began. Vivian pointed at the first stone she had touched and said to Benedict, “This is the first stone I touched during my first stone gambling. It’s very memorable for me. I’ll take this.”

The people around them were even more anxious than Vivian when they saw this scene. Many of them secretly prayed that Vivian would win the game so that they could save their money for the stones today!

Someone winked at Vivian and hinted that she should pick from the best raw stones that had already been pre-determined. Vivian only smiled and insisted that Benedict should get her that stone.

Although the stone was on the 500 Yuan table, it made her feel an unusual heat. She had just touched it before but immediately retracted her hand because of the heat.

When Pierre heard Vivian’s way of choosing the raw stones, he felt that victory was in his hands. He went to the last table and slowly picked.

Just in case, Vivian found an excuse to touch all the raw stones present and only relaxed after she was sure that the raw stones in her hands were of the best quality.

Out of the remaining four pieces, only one was slightly hot, while the other three were cold to the touch. After all, she was a layman who did not know about raw stones, so she could not be too eye-catching.

The two placed the raw stones they had picked next to the angle grinding machine. The five stones that Pierre had chosen were all from the last table. The cheapest was 80.000 Yuam, and the most expensive was 2.03 million Yuan. It was also the most expensive stone that was predicted to have the highest chance of being the Imperial Green Onyx!

Everyone looked at the stones that Vivian had picked, and their hopes were instantly dashed. Each was the 800 Yuan and 1500 Yuan stones. The remaining three were from the last table, but the surface of the stone was not on the same level as the one that Pierre had picked!
