He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 301

By the time Juniper Lane came downstairs, it was already noon.

Caleb Xavier had left over a dozen messages on her phone, thanking her profusely and mentioning the car.

Though they were text messages, his sheer excitement radiated through the screen.

Two imperial green jade bracelets, and they had reached the flawless glass grade—it was absolutely incredible.

The bracelet they sold last time went for tens of millions of dollars, but the green on that one wasn't nearly as striking as this.

Thanks to the Rough-Stone Stakes from the day before, numerous buyers were already calling The Xavier Family auction house to ask for a price.

Naturally, Caleb wasn't going to sell it. It would serve as the grand finale centerpiece for The Xavier Family auction house, displayed proudly in the main hall for everyone to admire at every future event.

More importantly, the raw stone had been purchased for a mere couple of hundred bucks. Today, when Mrs. Helena Xavier went out for afternoon tea with her friends, she was instantly surrounded by endless congratulations.

Yesterday, Helena had felt utterly humiliated, but the tables had turned spectacularly. Now, she was more convinced than ever that she needed to stay firmly on Juniper's side.

Her son had managed to save his auction house and avoid answering to that bastard, Gideon Xavier, all because he aligned himself with the right people.

Helena covered her mouth, a bright laugh escaping. "Juniper Lane is my lucky charm."

The wealthy socialites in their circle had been desperate to avoid Juniper because of the embarrassing spectacle at The Sterling Family wedding. But after this sudden twist, seeing Helena look so triumphant, the other women couldn't help but feel a bitter pang of jealousy.

So, was Juniper Lane a jinx or a lucky charm?

Juniper had no idea people were gossiping about her. After the bracelet shattered last night, she remembered she had taken back a few broken jade pieces from Lydia Thorne. When she went to the auction house, she asked a master craftsman to give the broken segments a simple polish. Using white gold to frame the edges, those four broken pieces were instantly transformed into four stunning chain bracelets.

She brought the new bracelets to the auction house to sell. The original piece was worth millions, and the quality of the jade was indisputable. Now reimagined as four delicate bracelets, each was easily valued at a few hundred thousand dollars.

She set a flat price of two hundred thousand dollars each and featured them on the preview cover.

Getting something of this caliber for two hundred thousand was nearly impossible on the open market, and these bracelets brought a massive wave of traffic to The Willow Creek Studio.

If they all sold, after deducting the design fees and the cost of the gold and diamonds, Juniper would net nearly three hundred thousand dollars.
