62. Pick A Few More

Chapter 62

Pick A Few More

"You want to pick a fight, Wesley?" she shouted. Everyone could hear the fury in her tone.

Then, a group of bodyguards came up to her and fixed their gazes at Wesley.

It took Wesley a few seconds to realized what was going on.

He never expected that Alison would react like this. All he said was just some provocative words, and they acted like they were about to tear him apart.

Why did she do that? What was their relationship?

Wesley's face was gloomy. The Ashford family owned this diamond dealing market, and his family hired a large number of security personnel. Naturally, he was not afraid of Alison.

He snorted coldly. "Alison, you weren't fooled by this loser, were you? What does he have apart from his decent looks?"

Anger flashed in Alison's eyes.

Osborne was her boss. Though they didn't know each other that well, she wouldn't allow others to humiliate someone she respected.

She waved her hand and wanted the bodyguard to teach Wesley how to speak nicely.

However, just at this time, Osborne held her shoulders.

Then he said in a faint smile, "Wesley, you seem a little envious. Why? Are you jealous of Alison and me walking together? Do you care about Ophelia at all?

"You will be getting married soon."

His words helped Wesley gain his consciousness. His heart sank, and he turned to look at Ophelia.

Ophelia's expression was thick on her face.

"Don't listen to what he says, honey. I just don't like him. It has nothing to do with Alison! Otherwise, why would I stop supplying Luna Jewelry? I did it for you because I love you!"

Ophelia's mood lifted a bit.

She looked at Osborne and smirked. "Osborne, I didn't know you were so popular with women. You just came out from the Radcliffe Manor and already kissing Alison's boots!

"You know that Alison is my competitor, right? Are you flattering her just to piss me off? If so, then you are too naive."

Osborne sneered. "Does my popularity with women or who I flatter have anything to do with you? If you think that is what I'm up to, then please continue. I don't care what you think.

"Just don't burn in anger."

After saying that, Osborne withdrew his gaze, not wanting to argue more.

"Let's get inside, Mr… Osborne."

Alison opened her mouth and almost called him Mr. Augustine but reacted in time.

The two prepared to go in.

Wesley stopped them again and asked, as if he really cared, "Alison, you didn't come here to try your luck with uncut diamonds, right?"

Alison looked at him with contempt. "Wesley, can you just stop? Of course, I came here to try my luck! Or why would I come to this shit hole?"

Wesley's expression froze on his face, anger exploding in his chest.

He retorted, "So that means Luna Jewelry will not be able to hold on without my diamond supply? That is good to know. Welcome! I hope you can find the best diamonds."

Wesley smiled cruelly.

He knew the diamond dealing market better than anyone else. People got ripped off all the time, bringing his family hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

The probability of finding natural top–notch diamonds was too small.

The Ashford family had already picked the pure ones. The raw ones there were small.

Or contained too much impurity.

As for Luna Jewelry, which was engaged in the high–end jewelry customization business, it was useless to find diamonds there. They had to find the finest stones to make their business go smoothly.

Wesley didn't believe Alison could find what she was after.

"OK, then. Remember to pick a few more," Wesley chuckled and went in with Ophelia.

Alison's face looked grim. She said with a frown, "Wesley was disrespectful to you, Mr. Augustine! Do you want me to do something about it?"

Osborne smiled faintly, "No need. Ignore him. I will teach him a lesson later."

Then, Osborne and Alison also walked in.

It was the first time that Osborne saw the raw stone casino. Diamond raw stones from various old and new mines were piled various old and new mines were p up randomly in the factory. Some of these rough materials were valued from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.

They mainly mined raw materials.

They used machines to grind a small portion of the raw stone, which exposed the interior. This allowed them to assess the color and quality of the diamond inside visually.

Betting on raw materials was a very risky move. It depended entirely on luck.

If people judged the quality of diamonds based on the polished portion, the risk could be reduced, but the price was higher. Just revealing a bit of diamond portion could increase its price by tenfold or even a hundredfold.

The most expensive materials could cost tens of millions of dollars.

Alison whispered to Osborne, "Osborne, let's take a look at the polished material over there. Their probability of cutting out top–quality diamond is much higher."

Osborne laughed and said, "Don't worry. Let me see it all first."

After saying that, Osborne quietly opened the Satan's Eye.

Satan's Eye could see through things. But Osborne was not sure whether it could see through the diamond stone and see what was inside.

Osborne wondered, "If I can't see through it, I'll have to find another way."

But soon, Osborne felt relieved.

Those ordinary raw stones suddenly changed their appearance. in his eyes as if they were objects scanned by X–rays. The internal conditions were fully displayed to Osborne, like a 3D projection.

Osborne saw pieces of diamond from the raw stones.

Osborne whispered, "There is diamond in this rough material. But it is only the lowest grade diamond and is not worthy."

"There's nothing on this piece.

"There's none of this either.

"This piece is good. There's actually a fist–sized piece of ice. diamond inside. It's pretty nice. Unfortunately, it has a lot of cracks. It's probably only worth a few hundred thousand dollars.

"It actually has glass quality. It's a pity that it's only the size of a thumb. If it's made into a small pendant, it can be sold for a few million dollars.

"This piece…"

Osborne opened the Satan's Eye and looked at each raw stone. one by one. He was looking for the top–quality diamond he needed.

Unfortunately, top–quality diamonds were scarce.

Suddenly, Osborne stopped in front of a piece of diamond rough material the size of a human head.

His eyes lit up with surprise.

This rough diamond material that was the size of a human head looked highly ordinary. Even the most professional and experienced raw stone master would ignore it.

But in Osborne's eyes, the interior of the raw stone seemed dazzling.
