StartNovelChapter 536
Just as Edna and Julie were ganging up against Yolanda, Knox, who had just earned his bucket of gold, made his
way to them abruptly.
"I may not know the entire story, but | advise you to listen to Ms. Henderson, or she would have ways to make
you wish you were dead."
He was very clear about what Yolanda was capable of.
The menacing air around Knox had subsided a lot since he had giddily made a few thousand million dollars at
Caldwell Antiques.
His capital was a mere 500 million thousand dollars regularly. How could he not be happy for that amount to
have increased so much today?
Initially, he thought that Edna was deliberately trying to get at him, so he wanted to destroy the shop. Now that
he had seen Edna and her people suffer so many losses, he felt like this was more satisfying than actually
trashing the shop.
It didn't matter if Caldwell Antiques was the biggest antique shop here on the street of antiques. They wouldn't
be able to recover from the losses they incurred today, at least not in a short time.
Knox had only heard of Boris, but he wasn't acquainted with him at all. However, he heard srumors about
him. If Boris found out that Edna and Julie had lost so much of his money, Knox could only imagine how difficult
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir lives would be from then on.
He felt like he had released his anger, so he was naturally more calm and collected.
"Shut up!" Edna had burnt all bridges with Knox, so she didn't care anymore.
"I'll never return the money to you. Let's see what else you're capable of." Edna glared at Knox and Yolanda with
gritted teeth.
If she could cut them up into pieces, she would. Sadly, there was nothing she could do to them.
Even without Knox's influence in Riverdale, Knox's bodyguards alone were enough to make sure they retreated
to safety with their gemstones in tow.
"You won't pay up?" Yolanda clapped. "I admire your bravery."
Then, she headed toward the cashier.
Edna didn't know what Yolanda wanted to do. She thought Yolanda wanted to destroy the shop since she was at
wit's end, so she scoffed, "It's no use.
"Even if you trash the shop, you won't be able to get any money back. Instead, you would owe us a large sum of
renovation fees."
There was nothing else Edna could lose now, so she was fearless. She thought she had finally one-upped
Yolanda.
However, when Yolanda went to the side of the counter, she didn't do anything to destroy the shop. Instead, she
went to stand beside an elderly man.
"Could | take a look at your emerald please?"
Just now, Edwin, that old man had just bought a windowed boulder.
A windowed boulder was a boulder that was slightly cut for the buyers to observe the boulder's inner condition. If
gemstones were found after cutting slightly into it, the price of that boulder would be higher than those without
a cut window, just like the boulder in Edwin's hands.
Boulders of the sgrade would probably be sold for ten thousand dollars, but since it was a windowed piece
with clear AA-grade gemstones seen, the price of that boulder had risen to 50 thousand dollars.
"This is an AA-grade sapphire, little lady. Could you helpgauge and see if | would have enough to make two
bangles if it was all cut out?" Edwin happily passed the boulder to Yolanda.
She took the boulder and shook her head.
"You've been scammed. This boulder isn't worth 50 thousand dollars at all."
"What?" Edwin was shocked. "Do you mean I've lost the gamble?"
Edwin had done gemstone gambling for half his lifetime. He naturally knew that even if it was a windowed piece,
it might not mean that gemstones were guaranteed. He knew the movements of the earth's crust, the rotation of
the orbit, and many other reasons played a role, causing the gemstones to possibly be just a thin layer.
Since it all boiled down to ability and luck when it cto gemstone gambling, even if the windowed piece
ended up not having more gemstones, the buyers could only lament their misfortune. As long as they have paid
for it, it would have nothing to do with the shop anymore.
Why did Yolanda say that he was scammed?
"This isn't a gambling issue. They tampered with the boulder."
Yolanda took the boulder to the cutter and she sliced off another one-third of an inch alongside the window.
