“Hmm… It seems to be a hetian jade bracelet. I’d say it costs about seven thousand and five hundred dollars. What a pity that it’s broken now. That girl really is too violent. She should have to pay the full amount since she was the one who pushed the salesgirl!”
“There’s still another box. I wonder what happened to its contents…”
Several of the people there were contemplating the matter as they looked at Sharon.
Meanwhile, the salesgirl had fallen into a panic and forgot to even apologize to Gerald. She immediately began opening the second box.
Once she opened it, everyone there instantly exclaimed out loud.
“That… That’s the jade dragon! The one and only jade dragon! I’ve heard that if you look very carefully, you’ll be able to see the shape of a dragon inside the jade itself!”
“I’ve heard about it as well! It’s one of the top-selling items in this shop. It was made by a very skillful master jeweler. It costs around thirty-two thousand dollars!”
“Fortunately for the violent lady, the dragon jade bracelet isn’t broken. Imagine how much money she would have to compensate!”
“What do you mean thankfully it is not broken? It’s absolutely vital that the jade color of a dragon jade piece is maintained. If the color combination of the jade dragon piece is disturbed, then it won’t be in the shape of a dragon anymore! Should that happen, it would be better off just breaking the bracelet!”
Several knowledgeable people were actively sharing their views.
“Wow, I wonder where the owner of the bracelets is…”
Even the middle-aged boss from earlier was surprised by this turn of events.
“What’s happening here?”
At that moment, the young manager of the shop rushed out.
When he saw the two jade bracelets in their boxes which were still on the floor, his face instantly went pale.
“What are you still doing here? Bring the dragon jade bracelet over to the master jeweler immediately! Have him inspect it to see if the shape of the dragon in the dragon jade has been damaged!”
“O-Okay! Right away! Then, this-”
“Why are you still here?!” the manager shouted, his voice extremely anxious.
The salesgirl once again forgot to apologize to Gerald and simply rushed to meet up with the master jeweler to have the dragon jade bracelet appraised.
“Miss, remain in the shop. We’ll be having a talk about the compensation once the appraisal results are out,” said the manager coldly toward Sharon.
“Yes… Um… I hadn’t meant to break the bracelet… I simply wanted to push her away…” Sharon said meekly.
