A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Although there are no prizes in this round, the host said that all the raw materials that appear here will definitely be worth more than three million dollars.

You should know that each uncut quarry stone here could produce more than three million dollars worth of jadeite.

Of course, not every rough stone was cheap.

However, everyone knew that at least they wouldn’t lose too much.

This time all eyes were on Lyana.

– In the first round, Lyana Dubois won more than a billion dollars.

– If you want my opinion, the Group absolutely wants her to lose this bet.

– We lost so much in the first round. Let’s take a bet this time.

– I don’t think Lyana will be so lucky this time around.

– I do not think so. I think she’s an expert.

While everyone was talking, Lyana was already preparing to choose her rough stone.

She looked around, her gaze finally landing on a twenty inch stone.

The price of this stone was 300 million.

Lyana knew deep down that there would be good things in every round of the competition this time around, so she had to up her bets.

She felt that there must be something good in this raw material.

However, she wasn’t a god and didn’t have x-ray vision. She couldn’t be sure that was the case. She couldn’t be sure there was anything good inside.

If it was only $100 million, she couldn’t do anything.

At this thought, Lyana approached the stone. Just as she put her hand on it and was about to speak to the tailor, a clear voice sounded from the side.

– I want this rough stone.

When everyone heard that voice, they bowed their heads to watch.

What wealth!

It was 300 million!

She just asked like that!

Lyana tilts her head to watch. It was none other than Claire.

Under everyone’s gaze, Claire smiled softly, giving her an exceptionally noble air.

Some people present also knew Claire.

Claire was said to be a financial genius in An City. Previously, she had made a financial plan and easily won $30 billion for the bank of An City.

It was said that she was also the daughter of an old banker.

Like father like daughter.

Most people did not have such a bold and generous demeanor.

Of course, everyone had also noticed Lyana.

After Lyana made a small bet in the first round, many people had their eyes on her.

Lyana also seemed to be infatuated with this stone.

Everyone smiled and looked at Lyana and Claire. It’s going to be a good show to watch.

Lyana’s hand was still on the stone. A slight smile appeared on his lips, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

– Miss Silva, do you know what “first come, first served” means?

Claire looked at Lyana calmly and smiled.

– Miss Dubois, I’m really sorry about this time. I asked first. This stone is mine.

Lyana sneered and asked:

– As long as you ask for it, will it be yours? If you say MY is yours, will the president of MY give you the country?

When Claire heard Lyana’s words, a trace of anger crossed her eyes. With a cold expression she said

– You are twisting my words.

– Distort? Didn’t you start it? Have you already forgotten the rules of the stone game world?

Lyana asked with a smile.

His hand had already touched the stone. It was common knowledge that she was the first buyer in these circumstances. If she didn’t want the stone, the seller could talk to the next person.

This method was mainly intended to prevent anyone from following in the footsteps of an expert. Indeed, there was once an imitator who knew nothing and followed an expert. When this expert was interested in this stone, he took the initiative to buy it.

After this incident, many people hated such people, so a rule was made in the world of stone games.

Whoever stood in front of the rough stone first was ready to argue with the seller about who would buy it first. Those who arrived later had to wait for the previous person to leave before they could buy the rough stone.

Precisely for this reason there was less to exploit.

Claire frowned slightly but relaxed quickly.

With Lyana’s reminder, she suddenly remembered another rule.

If the buyer could not shell out the money within the hour, the seller could sell the rough stone to the next person.

– Miss Dubois, I’m really sorry. I don’t know if you want to buy it or not. After all, you don’t look like you can afford it.

Although Claire apologized, the disdain in her eyes was evident.

Lyana had first wondered if she should take such a risk to buy this stone. However, after hearing Claire’s words, she decided she wanted this stone.

Lyana smiled lazily and asked

– Oh, how do you know I can’t afford it?

– Miss Dubois, I think I need to remind you of something. The rules of this contest have already been stated above. You cannot exchange the jadeite you got in the first round for money. In other words, you can only use your own money! Do you have that much money?

Claire raised her eyebrows slightly and asked arrogantly.

Standing in the crowd, Regine remembered her father’s instructions asking her not to provoke Lyana and Daniel.

However, she thought about how Daniel had hurt her father in the first round.

The doctor had told him that his father’s leg was a comminuted fracture. With current medical technology, even if treated, he would become disabled.

Regine looked at Lyana coldly and said sarcastically:

– Lyana Dubois, all of the uncut quarry stones in this second round are worth over three million dollars. Do you still want to pick up leftovers like the first time? Want to buy two hundred more pieces of uncut quarry stones? I’m afraid you can’t.

Hearing the words of Regine, everyone discussed.

– Lyana Dubois is just a little model. How can she have so much money?

– Who knows ? Even if she borrows money now, who can lend her 300 million at once.

– Lyana is really stupid. She still wants to snatch that stone from Miss Silva.

– She really lost her mind.

… .

When Claire heard everyone say that, she smiled and said:

– Miss Dubois, if you have time to tear this rough stone from me, why don’t you go and see the other rough stones? If you need three to five million, I can lend it to you.

Hearing Claire’s words, Lyana frowned slightly, her beautiful fox eyes narrowing.

Claire looked down at her.

She said she had no money to lend him.

Lyana was less afraid to compete for wealth.

In the crowd, someone said:

– I’m willing to lend you some money, but you have to give me a tenth of the imperial green.

Regine’s eyes rolled over and she quickly said:

– I’m also willing to lend you some money, but I don’t want imperial jade. You have to go to the hospital and bow to my dad to apologize.

Standing nearby, Nathan frowned as he saw Lyana being surrounded by everyone. He walked towards her.

Nathan stopped next to Lyana and said:

– Lyana, I can give it to you.

When Lyana heard Nathan’s words, she was slightly surprised.

300 million!

Nathan was really ready to spend the money.

If Ines found out that Nathan had given her 300 million, she would cry to death.

Lyana shook her head slightly, calmly dismissing Nathan’s good intentions.

Lyana approached the master tailor and said calmly:

– Master, I have ten million extra dollars. Please help me open this rough stone now.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

When the master tailor heard Lyana’s words, he was slightly stunned. It was the first time he had heard someone say such a thing.

Ten millions !

It was a huge sum of money. Many people wouldn’t be able to earn that much money in their lifetime.

The others stared at Lyana, stunned.

When Regine heard Lyana’s words, her face turned red with anger. She says sadly:

– You really are an interesting person. You can casually say ten million dollars and ask Master to give you a blank check. Who doesn’t know how to do that?

– This 10 million can buy several other uncut quarry stones.

– Is she drunk?

… .

Lyana ignored them. She opened her bag and took out a bright red card, which she handed to the master.

– Pass the card!
