Chapter 488
Back then, Nicole was already exceptionally beautiful even though she was only fifteen.
At the time, Sebastian was waiting for someone to crack open the geode.He had spent an exorbitant amount in hopes of bringing home an ocean gem.
However, he did not find any despite spending an entire afternoon there.
Nicole passed by coincidentally and saw him standing there like an easy mark.She then called him aside and handed him an average-looking geode.
"Crack this open." Sebastian looked at Nicole, slightly shocked.
He did not expect a little girl to have such a calm demeanor.For some reason, he believed the little girl.He handed the geode to the person in charge of cracking them open.He initially thought he was pouring money down the drain for fun.
However, they saw a violet gemstone within when the geode was cracked open! Sebastian looked at Nicole in astonishment.
On the other hand, Nicole's expression remained unchanged; she seemed to have expected such an outcome.
The person who cracked the geode open wanted to keep the gem for himself, so he asked his cronies to surround Nicole and Sebastian.
Since Sebastian's outing was impromptu, he did not bring anyone with him.He stood in front of Nicole even though he knew he did not have what it took to win them.
‘I'm so foolish" he thought to himself.
This incident was also the reason Sebastian started bringing several bodyguards everywhere he went.
Sebastian did not expect the geode marketplace to be s o dangerous.
They were robbing him after cracking open his geode.
While he was a man of reason, these people seemed to speak with their fists.
However, asking him to give away such a precious piece of gemstone would be equivalent to giving away a piece of himself.
Nevertheless, he remembered that he was not in this alone.
He had to take the extraordinary little girl into consideration as well.
