Chapter 79
1/2
While William was busy investigating who had used Wilson Group’s name to intercept the batch of raw
gems Chloe ordered, Linda swiftly resolved the situation.
True to his word, Luke arrived at the hotel the next morning to pick up Linda and Chloe and take them to his villa, where he stored his loose gemstones.
The villa appeared unremarkable from the outside, but inside, it was a treasure trove with a value beyond
estimation.
Unfamiliar with such things, Linda was nonetheless amazed by the sheer value of the collection.
As a savvy businesswoman, she couldn’t help but contemplate the immense worth of the uncut raw gems and the unset loose gemstones.
On the other hand, Chloe followed Luke inside and began selecting the stones she needed and placing
them into a box.
“I need to go back to Idaly the day after tomorrow. If you need more stones, contact my assistant, and he’ll take care of it,” Luke said to Chloe, though his eyes never left Linda,
Chloe replied gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Hunter. I’ll transfer the money to your account shortly.”
“No rush. I’m not in desperate need of money,” Luke said nonchalantly. He had always been indifferent to
money, a trait that often led to even greater wealth.
Linda spoke up, “Thank you, Luke. Without your help, Chloe and Radiant Jewelry would have been in
serious trouble.”
“Don’t mention it. That’s what friends do.”
“But I genuinely appreciate it,” Linda insisted.
“I know you do, but I don’t need your gratitude.”
How ab
I buy you dinner later?” Linda remembered his suggestion from their previous phone call.
“I was waiting for you to ask.”
Chloe had always liked Linda and Luke together, and she quickly found an excuse to leave. “Linda, enjoy dinner with Mr. Hunter. I need to head back to Radiant Jewelry.”
With that, Chloe dashed out.
Linda and Luke exchanged knowing smiles, understanding her intentions.
Nevertheless, Linda had to admit that Luke was a remarkable person. Similarly, she held a special place in Luke’s heart.
Before leaving the villa, Luke retrieved a natural, uncut black diamond from his safe and handed it to
Linda.
