don’t worry, I’m fine, Aspen replied grimly as she left the auction.
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number she had not used in a long time.
Aspen said with a cold laugh.
Hello, remember me? Your old classmates, Aspen Snees.
I just attended the Jayrodale auction and lost nearly 100 million dollars.
You must understand what it means for someone of my expertise to lose that much? Her voice dripping with venom continued, Thats right fraud and insider manipulation
I suspect two people in particular: Elsie Santana, that belle of Radiant Group whos betrayed her position
, and a fraud named Kingsley Baldwin who worked with her to con me.
The money isnt the issue, but I wont let the Bridgefields Snees family name be tarnished.
So, the choice to help is yours.
A mans angry voice thundered through the phone, don’t worry, Aspen.
I wont let them get away with your money or their crimes
Just wait I’ll dispatch officers immediately and get justice for you.
Well see who dares to mess with you!
Thank you, then, Aspen said with a smile as she hung up the phone.
Like I said, life isnt just about stone gambling and these trivial antiquities.
Power and connections are my ultimate weapons to crush you, Kingsley ! Hannah asked hesitantly, Aspen, who did you call for help? From what we saw during the stone gambling, Ms. Santana and Kingsley werent cheating or manipulating anything.
Aspen waved her off.
Stay out of this, Hannah.
That Kingsley must have set me up.
Why else would I lose so badly? Remember how he insisted on raising the stakes before we even started
? That should have been my first red flag, but I foolishly missed it.
Hannah nodded uncertainly, not wanting to interfere further.
Though Aspen treated her like a close friend, there was still a social gap between them since Aspen came from the main branch of the Bridgefields Snees family.
Aspen, Elsie works for Silas Vaughn at Radiant Group, and Kingsley now knows many Jayrodale socialites, Hannah reminded her
Will investigating them even work? Aspen laughed coldly.
Just because I’m not from Jayrodale doesnt mean I don’t have connections here.
The person I just called is the Chief Commissioner of the Jayrodale Police Department.
Hannah was shocked.
The Chief Commissioner ? Mr. Donald Warren? Hes one of Jayrodales highest ranking officials! Thats right, Aspen replied smugly, crossing her arms.
Donald and I were classmates at Blumedale.
He was one of my admirers I never gave him the time of day, but I kept him interested just in case. Looks like that finally paid off.
Hannah was at a loss for words
She had always seen Aspen as a capable and strong willed businesswoman, but as their friendship deepened, she noticed how Aspens pride could make her ruthless when backed into a corner. Hannah was not a fan of this
Nonetheless, since Aspen had made her decision, she decided not to interfere with anything.
After all, Aspen had lost so miserably that day, and it was only natural to let the police investigate if there was any possible unknown inside information.
Meanwhile, at the auction venue, the excitement continued.
Kingsley, Francesca, and Cedric followed Elsie through the staff entrance to Radiant Groups backstage lounge.
Francesca panted
We got out just in time.
Otherwise, those antiquity enthusiasts would have torn Kingsley apart! Elsie chuckled and said, Mr. Baldwins stone gambling skills are truly beyond imagination.
I bet nine out of ten people out there want to become his apprentice, hoping hell teach them how to get rich quickly.
Cedric scoffed, Thats the despicable side of human nature.
Instead of working hard, theyre chasing unrealistic dreams.
Little do they know that mediocrity is common in this world.
Do they really think everyone can become a natural genius like Dr. Baldwin ? Cedric remarked
Grandpa, stop acting high and mighty, Francesca retorted
If it werent for Kingsley, you wouldnt have gotten such great benefits from this auction either. Cedric immediately brightened up with a smile.
Well, Dr. Baldwin certainly helped this old man catch a lucky break today
While everyone else was excited, Kingsley remained remarkably calm.
Lets tally up all the gains and have Ms. Santana process them, Kingsley said casually.
Elsie perked up with surprise, Mr. Baldwin, you’re not taking everything you won today? I’ll take the Blood Phoenix Cicada and the Royal Violet Crystal, Kingsley replied
For the rest, I’ll trouble you to convert them to cash.
Though slightly disappointed, Elsie quickly became energized again.
While Kingsley took the two best pieces, the remaining items were still valuable and would bring significan’t profits under Radiant Groups management.
Francesca and Elsie began calculating Kingsleys spoils, with the breathtaking Blood Phoenix Cicada being the crown jewel that captivated both women
The Royal Violet Crystal won from Aspen came second a true treasure in its own right, though now belonging to Kingsley as part of his victory.
Mr. Baldwin, here are your total gains from todays auction, Elsie summarized after two minutes.
Three premium gems, plus your Blood Phoenix Cicada, the total value is at least 200 million. Thats fine.
Process them as we discussed.
Kingsley smiled.
Cedric could not contain his envy, Making 200 million in one auction Dr
Baldwin, you’re literally a money printing machine! Kingsley wanted to say he had already achieved financial freedom years ago, and the salary he made as a doctor was insignifican’t.
Just then, Elsie brought two security cases, carefully placing the Royal Violet Crystal and Blood Phoenix Cicada in them before solemnly handing them to Kingsley.
Without hesitation, Kingsley pushed the Royal Violet Crystal case toward Francesca.
Why are you giving this to me? she asked in surprise.
Kingsley simply replied, Its a gift
Francescas face turned bright red.
Though she desperately wanted it, she felt too embarrassed to accept it.
Kingsley, 1… I can’t accept something so valuable she stammered
Kingsley smiled and asked directly, Fran, don’t you like it? The direct question made Francesca shy, and she lowered her head with a sweet feeling in her heart.
Of course I like it.
What girl wouldnt love such a beautiful crystal ? But its yours, and its so precious… I told you earlier wed make money, Kingsley said
You worked hard throughout this whole thing, so this crystal is your reward.
While Francesca was still hesitating, Cedric could no longer contain himself.
Since Dr. Baldwin is being so generous, I’ll accept it on Frans behalf.
Thank you, Dr. Baldwin! Then, he snatched the case and hugged it to his chest with a look of pure satisfaction.
$
Grandpa, you’re so embarrassing… Francesca groaned. Kingsley smiled gently and said, Lets head home the event is wrapping up anyway
Elsie watched enviously from the side, thinking how a man who could casually give away such a valuable crystal must be irresistible to women.
Suddenly, Kingsley turned to her with a smile and said, Ms. Santana, youve been a great help today
After you process those crystals, please take a ten million commission for yourself.
Really, Mr. Baldwin ? Elsie asked, both surprised and delighted.
Kingsley nodded.
Of course.
If you hadnt invited me to this auction, I wouldnt have had the chance to make such a fortune.
Even though Elsie was well to do herself and mingled with upper society, Kingsleys generosity certainly taught her off guard.
Seeing Elsies admiring gaze toward Kingsley, Francesca felt uneasy and urged, Kingsley, Grandpa, lets get going.
Thank you for everything, Ms. Santana.
Mr. Baldwin, you should take the VIP exit to avoid unwanted attention, Elsie suggested
