Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Yvonne took a deep breath and forced herself to act relaxed. "Go on, Elio, choose. Let's see what you can do. Don't disappoint me now."Elio nodded and stared at the raw stones of different sizes. They were all very familiar to him, and they were divided according to their excavation sites. Their weights and prices were clearly demarcated too. He could see all the details at a glance.High heels clicked on the ground behind him as he walked. Yvonne carried her bag, following him like a lackey. She watched as Elio walked around the entire warehouse, but he did not buy a single stone. A few of the stones she liked were snapped up by other customers, and she was starting to get nervous.She jogged two steps to catch up to Elio, her red lips leaning into his ear as she said anxiously, "Why haven't you chosen anything yet? Are all the good stones gone?""Who's making the call here? Me, or you? If you have such faith in your judgment, wh

The traphiche emerald was the rarest type of emerald. Even Zaffino had never seen one in the year since he had started this raw stone trading center. He was beside himself with excitement, instructing his staff, "This is a cause for celebration! Hurry, set off some fireworks and buy ads on all the social media platforms!"To him, this would be the best advertisement. If someone found a traphiche emerald here, word would get out that his stones were of the highest quality. Many wealthy customers would flock here to gamble on the stones. He could already see his business flourishing! Elio asked Yvonne to give the technician who cut the stone a thousand-dollar tip. With a bit more cutting and polish, they unearthed two crystal-clear traphiche emeralds, one bigger than the other. Their color flickered slightly in the light, regal and elegant.Zaffino immediately stated his price. He offered three million for the bigger stone and two million for the smaller one. Elio thought that was a

Charlie did not expect Elio to participate in the bidding and compete with them for the raw stone, causing its price to rise even further. He frowned and barked, "What are you doing? You're just a good-for-nothing peasant. You don't even have a thousand dollars in your account. This auction has nothing to do with you. Fuck off!"Elio did not even bother to reply. Beside him, Yvonne shouted back furiously, "Shut up! Elio is my representative. Even if he doesn't have money, I have plenty. He can bid as much as he wants. I'll take care of the rest!""Don't waste your breath on them. We have to get this raw stone, no matter how much it costs." Josh nudged Charlie with his elbow and whispered.Charlie nodded and made up his mind. How could he let his useless cousin-in-law steal the spotlight? Never in a million years! He shouted, "1.8 million!"Everyone could see that the two young heirs were going against Yvonne and Elio, and they could see the bloodbath coming. Everyone else probably

It was now five o'clock in the afternoon in the most upscale restaurant in Cloudsea City. There were only a few diners, and a blonde man was playing the luxurious grand piano in the center of the dining hall. The melodious music made for a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere.The waiters were all wearing snow-white shirts and smart bow ties. Their service was meticulous and impeccable. Of course, the cost of dining here was also extremely high. Most ordinary people would never set foot here.Elio and Yvonne sat facing each other by the window, savoring the fine dining dishes and sipping some red wine. This was the life!Elio was dressed a bit too casually compared to the other guests in their fancy suits and dresses. His T-shirt had also gotten dirty when he grabbed the stone earlier, but there was still an unmistakable elegance in the way he ate right now.His outfit aside, he had the aura of a blue-blooded noble. His mannerisms were definitely unlike that of a pretentious nouveau riche.

After the two of them left the restaurant, Yvonne personally drove her Ferrari down the street. She was afraid to let Elio drive right now because his driving style was rather "exhilarating". She had just eaten, so she could not stomach such intense driving just yet.Traffic was relatively slow, so the Ferrari cruised along. Yvonne turned to Elio with a smile. "Hey, Elio, you don't have a job, do you? Why don't you become my secretary? The working hours are negotiable. You'll have a lot of freedom, and I'll give you a considerable salary. What do you think?"Many young rookies could only dream of becoming this beautiful young chairwoman's private secretary. The daily eye candy alone would be worth it, setting aside any other potential benefits.Elio shook his head and declined her offer. "Maybe not. I'm pretty busy.""Seriously?" Yvonne rolled her eyes at him. "What are you busy with? Getting scolded by your mother-in-law? She called you a lazy, good-for-nothing layabout. You shoul
