It was the gems trading center's mechanism to protect its customers.
Under the protection, Lewis had thought Harriet would be safe.
But now that Harriet had revealed top-grade emerald, the situation was different.
Such top-grade emerald might compel some to become enemies of the gems trading center just to take it from Harriet's hands.
Lewis's expression immediately tensed as he stepped towards the stone cutter lying on the ground.
He was about to confirm for the third time that the stone cutter wouldn't leak this news when he heard Harriet say, "Is this green jewel very precious?"
Harriet tilted her head, her face full of confusion as she looked at the rough stone on the table that had just been cut, which was now faintly revealing the emerald inside.
Lewis, who had been tense, nearly dropped his jaw in shock upon hearing Harriet's words.
He had been wondering how Harriet could have revealed such fine jewel without any reaction and even stand quietly aside.
He had thought she was being unflappable.
But it turned out she didn't recognize this piece of top-grade green jewel at all!
“Miss Harriet, please let me introduce...”
Lewis was about to introduce this piece of emerald to Harriet, but she raised her hand to stop him.
She wasn't unfamiliar with the jewel in front of her.
She knew from the moment she got hold of this stone that the green jewel inside was pricey.
But after all, it was just a stone.
The stone cutter had fainted at the first cut, and Lewis had fallen over upon entering and seeing the jewel.

You said in other chapters Cara smells like vinallia and lavender and now are saying she smells like vinallia and honey. Didn't know of that was on purpose or a mistake....
