Chapter 647
Barbara doesn’t know me well. We only got in touch when Ryleigh introduced me to the group the other
day
‘If she were someone I’ve kept in touch with all this while, to the point that I’m very close and familiar with
her, I’d appreciate what she’s done to help me But Ryleigh didn’t ask Barbara to help me out in that
incident, so I can’t say that I’m not somewhat suspicious
Ryleigh paused for a moment. “Are you referring to the owner of Passion Jewelry?”
She then looked around and raised her hand to lower her voice. “Barbara helped you with that?”
Maisie nodded.
Ryleigh gave her a thumbs up with a smile. “She’s quite a loyal one then. She’s willing to help you even
though you haven’t known each other for a long time.”
Maisie smiled helplessly “She helped me for no reason? What do you think?”
“Ms. Vanderbilt” Barbara called her from not far away
Maisie turned her head and saw that Barbara was waving at them
The two of them walked toward her. Barbara was troubled by the two raw gemstones listed as Raw
Gemstone #2 and #6, respectively. “I have a hunch that both might contain gems, but I can’t be sure.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaisie got Barbara’s intention Barbara was asking Maisie to help her pick one.
Barbara has come to such occasions before this, which means that she’s not a newbie and has her own
understanding when it comes to judging raw gemstones. Yet, she’s asking me to choose on her behalf!
Maisie’s gaze was fixed on the two raw gemstones, and she picked up a flashlight with a strong light and
pointed it at the stones
Gem hunting called for someone’s ability to determine the probability of a raw gemstone containing a
precious gem just by looking at the surface of the raw gemstone. And the surface of rough gemstones
could generally be categorized into three types: gritty, coarse, and fine surface.
The finer the surface, the better. The finer surface meant that water had gotten into the ore before this,
and in that case, the possibility of obtaining a gem would be very high.
Maisie leaned over to inspect the surface of Raw Gemstone #2 and #6. The surface of Raw Gemstone
#2 looked finer than that of #6, but she could not see the fluidity in the pattern of the stone, nor did she
see any tiny emerald particles on the surface.
Barbara looked at her. “Doesn’t Raw Gemstone #2 look
more like it?”
Maisie nodded. “Indeed, but I can’t see emerald particles, and I can’t guarantee that it’ll contain a gem.”
The appearances of a raw gemstone easily deceived some people, and gem hunting was all about the
gambling factor. Many hesitant people made mistakes because they were not sure. Of course, when
faced with such a situation, all there was to do was cross one’s finger and wish for the best
Maisie got back up and straightened her posture. “Are you planning to go for it?”
Barbara paused for a split second, lowered her gaze, and pondered for a moment. She then looked back
up at her. “I believe in you.”
Maisie did not expect her to say this and was about to say something when a voice that came from not
far away attracted their attention,
A middle-aged man in a mask and a suit yelled at the staff, seemingly because the staff would not allow
the young woman in his arms to bring her pet into the venue
At first glance, the woman was estimated to be around 30 years old, and she was dressed quite
glamorously. She was holding a white poodle in her arms, and she looked aggrieved and was cringing in
the man’s arms.
The man protected her tightly in his arms, and his reprimand kept attracting the attention of the people
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaround him. However, the staff member could only
apologize
Barbara was not surprised by such an event and discovered something. “It seems that rich men these
days love to bring their mistresses to places like this.”
Maisie looked at her. “How can you be so sure that she’s his mistress?”
Barbara smiled. “That woman doesn’t have a ring on her finger, and isn’t the man still wearing his
wedding ring?”
Maisie was surprised that Barbara was actually observing instead of just looking, and she only noticed
that the woman did not have a wedding ring on when she looked over again.
‘If they were a loving couple, the woman wouldn’t have taken off her wedding ring. This makes the man
someone else’s husband and the woman his mistress. He has the balls to bring his mistress to such a
place in such an ostentatious manner only because he’s wearing a mask. The people that don’t know
him will naturally think that she’s his wife!
She then looked back at Barbara again and noticed that Barbara’s gaze was fixed on them, and a creepy
tinge of amusement could be seen through the corners of her lips.
Maisie squinted her eyes and could not help but start to guess. She suddenly remembered that Ryleigh
was able to hold herself back from commenting anything about the man or the woman and said,
“Ryleigh, don’t you like to be a part of such fun? Why don’t you
