This fact made Aurelia extremely distressed!
The others on the scene originally thought that Selena would take advantage of the opportunity to obtain this crucial stone.
After all, in terms of financial resources, no one in the entire capital could match her.
However, they did not expect that Selena was really not interested in this stone.
Edith had disrespected Selena four times, and each time Selena let Aurelia add another 40 million.
In a way, this was also a kind of alternative "payback".
The two sisters of the Bennett family were probably regretting their decision now.
Leon frowned, "Really don't want it?"
Selena looked disdainfully at the stone on the high platform. "It's too ugly."
Without a doubt, since Selena did not want it, this stone was bought by Aurelia.
It wasn't until the sign was hung up successfully that Aurelia finally relaxed.
After the auction, it was time for the climax of the gambling stone conference.
Selena bought more than thirty stones in total. After Leia finished counting them, they were sent to the stone identification area.
The stone picked by Aurelia was immediately sent to the booth next to Selena's.
Perhaps because Selena let her add 40 million, Aurelia's expression became less gentle when she looked at Selena.
She stared at Selena for a moment and smiled, "Edith has been spoiled. Miss Turner, you have taught her a lesson, and I believe that after today, she will not speak nonsense again."
Selena's tone was flat, "Thank you, Miss Bennett."
After a stalemate, Aurelia's elegant and confident smile returned to her face as she pointed to one of the stones and said to the person identifying the stone, "Let's start with this one."
Being able to identify stones for the heir of the "Jade King" was something that many people could only dream of.
The person was so excited that his hands trembled, and he immediately ordered people to lift the stone pointed out by Aurelia onto the stone identification machine.
When they heard that Selena and Aurelia were starting to identify stones, the other people on the scene couldn't care about anything else and rushed over to watch the excitement.
Nicholas stood beside Aurelia with the Soo family, while the Riddle family stood beside the Soo family. The patriarchs of the two families personally presided over the event, which could be said to give face to the next female head of the Soo family, who was already designated.
Selena stood on the other side, with mostly young people who were not happy with the Soo family and the Riddle family behind her.
As the cutting sound of the stone cutting machine rang out, the stone selected by Aurelia was stripped of its outer layer, revealing a slightly transparent white color. A cry of surprise immediately erupted on the scene.
"Ah!"
"It's out!"
"It's ice jade!"
Aurelia's face showed a smile. Even Nicholas, who usually had a stern expression, couldn't help but smile.
Aurelia was truly born under a lucky star, with a fate that had been blessed since she was young. This was not something that Selena could handle.
Upon seeing the jade, the people cutting the stone became even more cautious.
Soon, the entire stone was peeled away, revealing a fist-sized piece of white ice type. Although it couldn't be considered a top-quality product, it was still pretty good to have this kind of water in it from the beginning.
"She has money and power. Even if she fails, she has the Turner family and the Anderson family to help her clean up this mess!"
"Money is not the issue. The Turner family and the Anderson family were embarrassed because of her. I wonder how she can pick it up..."
When the young man was about to start working on the stone, Selena suddenly spoke up, "Wait." The young man stopped and looked at her curiously. Under the confused and doubtful gaze of others at the scene, Selena stepped forward and pointed to the corner of the edge of the stone. "Start cutting from this piece and don't apply too much force."
The young man frowned, thinking that there was probably an eight in ten chance that he would not find jade. Nevertheless, he started cutting according to Selena's instructions.
As everyone looked on, ready to sneer and mock, the young man made several consecutive cuts but only cut through small pieces of stone.
Not even a trace of jade was visible.
The scene immediately erupted in countless mocking laughter.
"At least bring out something. This is too ugly..."
"Miss Turner, please don't cry here, or Mr. Anderson will think we are bullying you..."
Aurelia's lips curved into a scornful arc, looking at Selena with a disdainful gaze.
Nicholas, who had been gloomy for several days, seemed to lighten up a bit.
Leon furrowed his brows.
Alfie's expression became even colder. As the stone became smaller and smaller, with almost nothing left, the young man gave up and looked at Selena. "Let's switch to another stone."
Selena seemed to ignore the ridicule around her and said in a flat tone, "Continue cutting from where I told you."
Seeing Selena still not giving up, Aurelia smiled and spoke up...
