Kingsley remained composed, his tone calm but sharp.
These gems are both treasures, but even without ranking them, my red spinel is larger than your green tourmaline.
Do you have anything else to say? The gem cutter leaned in, his eyes widening in shock.
Wait… this isnt blood ruby.
Its Elsie was watching nervously and rushed over to inspect the stone herself.
Her face lit up excitement
Its not blood ruby! Its rare blood spinel ! with She gestured to the crowd, explaining, The first cut only revealed a small section, which led to the wrong conclusion
But this is undeniably blood spinel, one of the most valuable kinds of gem on the market.
The onlookers surged forward, eager to confirm for themselves.
It really is blood spinel ! This stuff is even rarer than green tourmaline, and its worth far more.
Plus, look at the size of Kingsleys piece its way bigger than Aspens ! This round isnt even close.
Aspen lost the first round? No way! Aspens face turned pale as she stepped forward to inspect Kingsleys stone herself.
One glance confirmed it, and her stomach sank.
Damn it.
She had lost the very first round! Aspen clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
She fought hard to keep her expression neutral, though her mind was racing.
Elsie raised her voice
The results are clear.
Ms. Snees, youve lost this round.
Kingsley remained composed, his tone calm but sharp.
These gems are both treasures, but even without ranking them, my red spinel is larger than your green tourmaline.
Do you have anything else to say?
Aspen felt a sharp, burning pain on her face.
Hannah 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, I’ll admit defeat for the first round, Aspen said, her voice cold as she could not bear the eyes of the crowd anymore.
Kingsley, do you dare to go for another round? Kingsley waved her off.
Theres no need to hurry, I’ll deal with things first.
Right in front of Aspen and everyone else, Kingsley casually gathered Aspens green tourmaline and his own rare red spinel and handed them to Francesca.
Francesca blushed
Kingsley, I can’t carry these.
Its fine.
Theyre ours anyway.
Just keep an eye on them.
don’t 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. Nonetheless, it was not about the money.
What mattered was that Aspen, that nasty woman, had lost to Kingsley she deserved it! Elsie said, Mr. Baldwin, don’t worry
We have full surveillance here.
Your things will be safe.
Kingsley nodded and glanced 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.
Kingsley, you’re getting too cocky now.
When did I ever not handle losing? You won, so take everything as per the agreement.
She could tell Kingsley was intentionally provoking her, but in that moment, Aspen could barely hold herself back.
This bastard was pushing her buttons.
Hannah added coldly, Kingsley, just because you won one round doesnt mean youll keep winning.
1 Only the one who laughs last is truly victorious, just like you said getting too happy too soon will lead to tears
Kingsley smirked
You’re right, but thats just who I am.
When I feel like being arrogant, I can’t stop myself.
Hannah gritted her teeth, unsure how to respond.
She did not like Kingsleys arrogance, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
Aspen, her face darkened, said, Kingsley, are you going to play again or not? If you’re scared, go home and keep celebrating your win.
Kingsley shrugged.
If youve got endless money to burn and want to give it to me, I’m happy to take it.
Aspen was fuming
You mightve won once, but don’t think youll get a second chance.
Remember, what goes around comes around.
I wont fall in the same place twice.
Kingsley 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 her last chance to recover, to turn things around.
Cut it open, please, Aspen instructed the cutter firmly
The cutter hesitated, glancing nervously at Kingsleys side.
There was clear concern in his eyes
He had sided with Aspen earlier, but he feared the consequences of angering Kingsley.
The cutter was beginning to regret his earlier actions because Kingsley had proven to be far more formidable than expected, even outshining Aspen.
If only he had not been so absolute in his statements before.
What are you waiting for? don’t you trust me? Aspen snapped when she noticed her cutters hesitation. The cutter flinched and quickly replied, I’ll cut open Ms. Snees stone right away.
This time, Miss, youll definitely win.
Kingsley chuckled
Aspen, your judgment is clouded.
The Snees family of Bridgefields isnt exactly rolling in money.
Being this wasteful isnt doing you any favors.
He gestured toward the largest raw stone in the center.
Aspen responded with a cold laugh.
Kingsley, don’t you understand that a raw stones size has nothing to do with whats inside? You can’t seriously think that just because this stone is huge, it must contain something valuable ? Several gambling experts nodded in agreement with Aspens statement.
The central stone, with its hard texture, mottled colors, and chaotic patterns, was clearly worthless 1 more than common rock.
Jing In contrast, Aspens stone, though modest in size, had a promising green tint with dark undertones and a softer texture, suggesting valuable contents inside.
The two cutters began cutting with their machines while the crowd held their breath.
The tension between Kingsley and Aspen had clearly escalated
If the Snees familys golden girl lost this round, she would share Orions fate losing both money and reputation
Meanwhile, Kingsleys loss would not matter much
In stone gambling, wins and losses were expected maintaining a winning record was enough to keep his reputation as a master intact
Kingsley, I went first in the last round, Aspen said, signaling her cutter to stop.
