After that, she turned to look at Old Man Wells. “Didn’t you say earlier that this rock doesn’t look good?”
Old Man Wells wiped his sweat in embarrassment when he heard that. “Miss Jackson, I completely overlooked it.” This is utterly embarrassing. I rarely miss such things in my decades of experience. I can’t believe that I made such a blunder in front of Young Masters Moss and Mason. This is humiliating.
The more Janet gambled, the more she lost interest. There isn’t a piece of jade worth tens of million here. How disappointing. Why is it even named the largest antique market in Sandfort City? This is utter nonsense!
She reprimanded Henry while they continued to walk, sounding like an older sibling scolding a younger brother. She pouted while appearing upset. “What is this? You guys are liars! You claim that this is the largest antique market in Sandfort City. I am not coming here in the future; it’s not fun at all.”
Mason smiled when he saw her pouting and had to stop himself from kissing her lips.
Henry chuckled quietly. “Miss Janet, why are you so impatient? We have barely started!”
“Are you saying that the main event comes later?” she asked while staring at him.
The three of them arrived in front of a shop called Jade Pavilion.
The owner greeted Mason and Henry politely since they were both his regular customers. “I heard that you have recently stocked up on some nice goods, so I’ve brought my sister-in-law to have a look.”
The owner glanced at Janet. Could this be Young Master Mason’s wife?
Henry nodded in response, but Janet reached out to pinch him on his waist. It was so painful that he wailed in pain.
He glanced at her while looking sorry for himself. “Miss Janet, you are such a bully.”
Nevertheless, she glared vehemently at him.
On the other side, Mason coldly observed her hand… She touched someone else’s waist. We’ll have to get her to wash them clean once we get home.
The owner was grinning from ear to ear. “Young Master Moss, I’m sure that you are confident with the goods I have, right?”
Henry nodded in response; he had known the owner of Jade Pavilion for many years. Hence, he trusted the goods sold there.
Then, the owner asked, “Young Master Moss, Young Master Mason, feel free to have a look or would you like to pick some raw materials?”
Janet broke the silence. “We’ll have a look first.” She lifted the raw material and asked. “This can’t be cheap, I presume?”
The shop owner answered casually, “This is 5 million; it’s not too expensive.”
Upon hearing that, Henry cackled. “Sir, that doesn’t sound fair. Why don’t you offer a good price since she’s my sister-in-law?”
“Young Master Mason, I’m innocent!” The shop owner tried to get into his good books. “This raw material is exceptional in all aspects and it’s from the old pits. Hence, the chances of procuring a green interior are high! I wouldn’t sell it if it weren’t for you and Young Master Mason!” he explained with a smile.
Henry nodded without commenting further. That’s true; if I were to do well, 5 million isn’t too much to spend. It’s nothing compared to seeing Miss Janet’s smile.
However, she was on the verge of silencing Henry and scowled while glancing at the pile of random stones. “Sir, are these raw materials too?”
In reality, they looked more like a pile of abandoned garbage.
Henry glanced in that direction as well and commented with a chuckle, “Miss Janet, raw materials are raw materials. However, the shop owner is extremely smart. He wouldn’t sell any exceptional goods. There’s an unattended pile left outside the shop. If you like, go ahead and have a look at it. You might be able to salvage some leftover materials to sell them off for a few thousand if you’re lucky enough.”
“Oh? A pile of unwanted garbage?” Janet couldn’t help but do a double take at the pile and did not comment further.
“Madam, if you are interested, I can offer a good price.” The shop owner’s eyes were narrowed into slits as he grinned.
She replied while looking indifferent, “My name is Janet Jackson.”
The shop owner was rendered speechless for a few moments before he recollected himself. “Yes, Miss Jackson.”
Mason and Henry were both at a loss for words when they witnessed that.
Her lips curled into a cunning smile, but she asked while sounding curious, “I’m unfamiliar with stone-betting. In all honesty, those look like a pile of garbage! So, how much discount can you offer?”
“Those leftover materials aren’t expensive; it’s 50,000 a piece. Miss Jackson, since you are a friend of Young Master Mason and Young Master Moss, I will offer 45,000. Do we have a deal?” the shop owner asked while smiling.
Before she could answer him, Henry reprimanded the owner. “I see that Jade Pavilion is becoming more immoral over time. How dare you sell your garbage for 45,000! Can you even get anything worthwhile from paying that price? If there’s something valuable in there, you would have kept it for yourself. How dare you try to fool me!”
