Amanda’s POV:
I quickly shook my head. “This stone isn’t mine. It belongs to our Alpha.”

The older man turned to Samson with excitement in his eyes. “Sir, will you sell it to me? I’ll pay triple.”
60,000 dollars.
My jaw nearly dropped. Samson had bought that stone for only 20,000 grand; he flipped it and made 40,000 dollars in seconds. Money was falling from the sky!
I looked at him, silently praying he’d take the deal. This was an easy win.
But Samson just gave the man a calm glance and said, “Sorry, this stone isn’t for sale.”
The man was unwilling to give up. “Sir, listen. So far, you’ve only revealed a small patch of green. You don’t know what’s inside yet. If you sell it now, you’ll walk away safe and rich. But if the rest of it turns out worthless, you’ll lose big. The emerald inside might not even be worth half that much.”
Samson ignored that man; he simply turned to the cutter. “Keep going. Carefully. Follow the edge of the green.”
I sighed and passed on his order. The cutter nodded, adjusting his tool with trembling hands. Bit by bit, he worked through the rough stone. The green patch widened, glowing under the lights. Four inches in, the full outline emerged, a flawless emerald the size of a palm.
Pure, flawless, with an even color and smooth, glowing luster. You didn’t have to be an expert to know it was top-tier.
“Wow! More green!”
“That must be AAA emerald! Top grade!”
“I’ve worked here for years and never seen one this pure!”
“This guy’s luck is insane. He just hit the jackpot!”
The crowd exploded. Even the cutter stopped to stare, eyes wide in disbelief. “Congratulations, sir,” he said, almost reverently. “This is the finest emerald I’ve seen in all my years. I know a few jewelry companies who’d pay top dollar for something like this. Would you like me to introduce them?”
I interpreted the man’s words for Samson. He nodded slightly and said, “If the price is right, I might consider selling.”
The moment I repeated that, the crowd went wild. Several eager buyers rushed forward, talking over each
other to make offers.
“30 million! I’ll pay 30 million for it. Can you sell it to me?”

“I’ll offer 35 million!”
“I’m from a jewelry company. I can offer 38 million. Please consider us!” One man added, slipping Samson his business card with both hands.
The bidding frenzy built fast. After a moment, Samson finally spoke, calm as ever. “50 million. If you can meet that, the stone’s yours.”
That buyer froze for a few seconds, then said, “Please hold on, I need to call my boss.”
When the crowd heard Samson quote 50 million, everyone went silent for a second, then gasped in shock. 50 million. For a single piece of rock. That number alone was enough to blow people’s minds.
I stared at the stone under the light. Just two hours ago, it had been a dull chunk of rock sitting in a dusty box. Now, it was worth 50 million dollars. And I—of all people-had witnessed that miracle happen right in front of me.
“Sir, it’s a deal!” the buyer said after hanging up the phone, his voice trembling with excitement. “Our headquarters agreed. Let’s sign the contract immediately. The accountant will transfer the funds right away!”
Samson turned to me with that calm, composed look of his. “Ms. Cobbett, I’ll have to trouble you to draft
