"If she can't open a single piece of jade, it'll be a big joke!"
Aurelia smirked, picked up a sign from the basket and hung it on the stone in front of her.
...
On the second floor private room.
Thanks to Selena's methods to deal with the Research Institute and the Shaw family, Nicholas was not as relaxed as he seemed to be. He leaned on his cane in the main seat and looked at the opposite side.
On the LCD screen on the wall, the scene in the hall was being played. The Soo family was worried that Selena might cheat, so they installed this and kept an eye on her.
But after watching for a while, it seemed that Selena was really just strolling around with Leia, and her stone picking was completely arbitrary. Some stones were pointed from a distance, and some were approached closely, carefully examined for a long time, and then turned and left. There was no pattern at all.
As for cheating--
Selena didn't even make a single phone call from beginning to end, let alone cheat.
The main thing about gambling on stones is luck and skill, and there is no possibility of cheating.
After confirming that Selena did not play any tricks, Nicholas relaxed his body and turned his head to look at Alfie standing next to him, his face serious, "Aurelia is a lady from a reputable family, talented and beautiful, not inferior to Selena. Are you not satisfied?"
Alfie stood by his side, well-groomed, like a finely carved jade.
He had been looking at Selena before, but when he heard Nicholas' reprimand, he lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.
Nicholas was furious at the sight of his grandson's behavior.
He still remembered what that fortune teller had said years ago. Alfie's marriage would affect the rise and fall of the Soo family. Therefore, Nicholas was extremely cautious about Alfie's marriage.
Aurelia's background was not on par with Alfie's, but her destiny was good, a rare phoenix girl's destiny.
Nicholas searched for a long time before finding such a phoenix girl's destiny.
That's why he made an exception and tolerated a woman with a humble background to become his grandson's wife.
But Alfie's obvious lack of cooperation made Nicholas' anger rise. He slammed his cane heavily on the table, "Don't you understand the situation now?!"
"Oscar won't spare the Soo family, and he will retaliate sooner or later! Have you seen the fate of the Shaw family? If the Soo family doesn't resist, the Shaw family's today will be the Soo family's tomorrow!"
"At times like this, put away all your frivolous thoughts. If I find out that anyone dares to say one thing and do another, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Nicholas' eyes turned bloodshot with a hint of anger, scanning all the Soo family descendants present.
Cameron and Sienna were seeped with goose bumps by the viciousness in his eyes.
Even Jayden in Mrs. Soo's arms were scared and crying.
The private room was silent as a tomb.
After seeing everyone obedient, Nicholas sneered, "Sienna's marriage has been settled, with Bentley Gibson. Prepare her for it."
Sienna's face suddenly turned pale. Bentley was notorious for his cruelty and love of hitting women, which was not a secret in the aristocratic circle.
However, Nicholas didn't even ask for her opinion and unilaterally decided on her marriage.
Trembling, Sienna lowered her head, feeling cold all over, and didn't dare to say a word of rebellion.
