Forgive Us, My Dear Sister

Chapter 257

Chapter 257 But She Couldn’t Do Anything About It

Jebediah covered his swollen face, staring at Jane in disbelief.

In the past, when Jane was unhappy, she would scold him, but this was the first time she had actually

hit him.

His face darkened. “Have you gone crazy?” Jane looked at him. “You ruined this open bid. Shouldn’t I

hit you?” Yes, it’s all because of this useless person.

If he hadn’t accidentally touched her hand, the water bottle wouldn’t have fallen on the notebook.

Although her ability had temporarily disappeared, she could still manage this auction.

But now she couldn’t even do anything about the open bid

She couldn’t bear this responsibility, so she had to let Jebediah handle it.

Jebediah laughed in anger. “I barely touched you, and now it’s my responsibility? Instead of wasting

time blaming me, why don’t you quickly record a new set of data? We still have time. to bid.”

After being slapped, he naturally resented Jane in his heart.

But because he still relied on Jane’s ability, he had to endure it for now.

When Jane became useless in the future, he would definitely pay her back double.

However, Jane sneered, “You’ve ruined my mood. I have a headache, and my whole body. hurts. I can’t

concentrate on examining the raw anymore.”

She acted as if she was going to give up. “So, I have no choice.”

Jebediah wanted to strangle Jane when he saw this.

But he had no choice but to continue coaxing her. “Jane, it was all my fault just now. Don’t be angry.”

“Now, take a good look at the numbers again, or else it will be too late.”

Jane also wanted to look, but she couldn’t make sense of it.

The key was that she couldn’t let Jebediah and the others from the Fordsons know.

So, she ignored Jebediah, pretended to be angry, and gave up.

No matter how Jebediah tried to coax her, it was futile.

Jebediah also became angry and instructed the few stone gambling experts he had brought quickly go

and examine the raw materials farther back in the line.

They had to remember the ones they were confident about and then rush to the auction

Jane breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Half an hour later, the group returned to the auction hall. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The few stone gambling experts hurriedly wrote down some numbers, and now they could only rely on

luck.

Jane’s act of giving up not only angered Jebediah but also upset the others.

But her ability in stone gambling was too astonishing, and she was the company’s cash cow, so

everyone had to endure it.

They went in and took their seats.

Jane noticed that June’s seat was empty.

So, she asked, “Where is June?” Jebediah shook his head. “I don’t know. She didn’t seem to go out

with us just now.”

Jane’s face changed, and she asked, “Why didn’t you keep an eye on her?” She had noticed that her

ability to sense the quality of the raw material had disappeared while they were outside, but she wasn’t

too worried yet.

She thought to herself that as long as June was there, everything would be fine.

She asked the man to continue helping and to gather more of June’s luck, which would surely restore

her ability, but now that June was missing, she was truly panicked.

Jeladiah noticed that Jane was acting strangely today and said. “Maybe she went to the

Jebediah was confused, but seeing Jane’s slightly frantic appearance, he could only say, “Okay, I’ll go

and find her. You take care of the auction here.”

Although he didn’t understand why Jane was so concerned about June, he had some guesses. Every

time Jane went out to gamble on stones, she always had to bring June with her.

Seeing Jane’s recent strange behavior and her insistence on giving up, he thought that it could be that

she suddenly couldn’t gamble anymore. Was it because June suddenly disappeared? As he thought

about this, he started to feel anxious and immediately got up to search for June with his men.

Jane was anxious in her heart and felt a bit lost about the upcoming auction.

She asked the stone gambling experts to handle the auction themselves, but they all declined.

They insisted that she should do it.

Jane had no choice but to follow the instructions given by the experts and start the bidding.

When Jane started the bidding, Simone deliberately raised the price.

Knowing Jane’s current state, she would definitely hold her ground and compete fiercely.

Sure enough, after Tommy raised the price, Jane continued to bid.

She appeared not to want Tommy to win and was determined to win herself.

After bidding a price that was much higher than the actual value of the raw material, Tommy

gave up.

By the time Jane regained her composure, she had already been outbid and lost more than twenty

pieces of raw material.

The prices were much higher than those in a normal auction.

That’s when she realized that she had been deceived.

She was filled with hatred toward Tommy and Simone, grinding her teeth in anger.

And in her heart, she prayed, hoping that her luck would still be as good as before.

The raw material she had photographed could all turn into jade.

Although there was a sense of unease in her heart, she didn’t want to believe that she couldn’t

do it.

The auction ended, and Jebediah had not returned.

Jane, along with other members of the Fordsons, went to deliver the raw material backstage.

And they had a specialist stone cutter open it, as was their custom.

After all, every time they opened a good piece of jade, it was like advertising for the Fordson Jewelry.

Following Simone’s suggestion, Tommy deliberately chose the stone cutter next to her.

Simone also selected one to help open the raw material she and Zac had bid on.

Upon seeing Jane’s gloomy gaze, Simone smiled and said, “Miss Fordson mentioned earlier that she

intended to acquire all the top-grade and best jade in this public auction.”

She glanced at the dozens of raw materials that the Fordsons had bid on and continued, “I assume all

these materials are jade.”

She deliberately aimed to push Jane to her breaking point.

So that the fall would be even more painful.

Jane lacked confidence, but she didn’t back down. She sneered, “Do I still need you to state the

obvious?” She simply hoped that her previous luck would still influence the stone-cutting process and

that the company’s gambling masters would be reliable.

Simone chuckled, “Alright, let’s wait and see.”

“Let’s look forward to witnessing the remarkable jade that the Fordsons can produce this time under the

leadership of Miss Fordson.”

“You may proceed!” Jane was completely cornered. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to

find June herself.

She could only grit her teeth and allow the stone cutter to begin.

Tommy and the others observed first, intending to wait for the Fordsons to finish cutting one piece

before starting.

Others had similar thoughts, and there were layers of people deliberately gathering to watch.

In the past, Jane would naturally want as many people as possible to join in the excitement.

But now she felt annoyed and wanted these people to go away and stop watching.

Of course, she couldn’t say anything that would offend everyone. She could only keep her

frustration to herself.

Soon, the first stone was cut.

Many people exclaimed, “Nothing inside. Nothing inside.”

“Didn’t they say that Jane is amazing and hardly ever fails?”

“This is only the first piece. Let’s not rush to conclusions.”

Jane became even more panicked when she saw the result of the stone cutting.

Hearing everyone’s comments, she had an impulse to immediately escape from here.

But she couldn’t.

The frowning expressions of the Fordsons’ executives compelled the stone cutting to

continue.

Tommy and Simone also had their stone cutters start.

Zac also joined in the excitement and had his stonecutter start as well.

The second stone of the Fordsons was a disappointment, and nothing came out.

But the Reichs’ got a bean species, which, although of average quality, was fortunate to be large and

increased in value.

Simone opened a fist-sized glassy species, and it appreciated the stone’s price.

Even Zac opened a piece of purple jade.

Continuing on, the Fordsons’ ores were unwrapped one by one.

In the end, not a single piece of jade was opened, and everything collapsed.

It was as if the Fordsons had spent millions of dollars on the ores at the auction, all in vam.

On the other hand, the Reichs opened quite a few pieces of jade

Similarly, the others had some gains, more or less.

Simone’s harvest was particularly impressive

In this comparison the Fordsons complete lack of gains stood out

The people from the Fordsons couldn’t believe it and looked at Jane
