A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana’s expression darkened. She asked :

– Is it because this stone is cheap that you can carve it casually? Are you really a skilled tailor?

A trace of impatience flashed on the face of the disciple, who said angrily:

– It is impossible for such a cheap stone to have good jade. A layman like you shouldn’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.

She approached the disciple and said coldly:

– Then I will cut it myself.

When the others heard Lyana’s words, they were all stunned.

Even William and Nathan, who had rushed in from afar, were a bit surprised.

They didn’t expect her to know how to cut rough stones.

Daniel’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. He didn’t expect the employer that Brother Vincent had arranged for him to be so interesting.

– Look at her. She is still pretending. She thinks she is a master.

– She’s too strong to pretend. Seeing his confidence, I think there’s imperial green jade in there.

– Apart from bragging, she is nothing.

… .

Seeing Lyana like this, the disciple angrily said:

– Do you know how to use my cutting machine?

At that moment, the cutting master coldly called:

– Jeans !

Jean reluctantly retreated to the side.

The old master could tell that this young lady might really be capable. She could really be an expert stone gamer. Not to mention anything else, his bodyguard didn’t look like an ordinary person.

Jean stood aside and said nothing. You had to know that even Mr. Chavez had to give his master a face. He didn’t expect to be insulted here.

He said coldly:

– Since you know how to cut, do it.

Lyana’s gaze landed on the old master’s face. She smiled softly and said politely:

– THANKS.

– Miss, you are too polite. Call me if you need anything.

She nodded and calmly put on her gloves.

More and more people gather around her, looking at her as if they were watching a show. They expected her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. When she did, they would humiliate her and make fun of her.

Lyana calmly turned on the light. Since she couldn’t see any icy colors, she brushed the dust off the surface of the stone.

When the old master saw Lyana’s technique, his eyes lighted up slightly. He hadn’t expected her to use such a high-level method to cut a stone. You should know that usually, people who used this method cut raw materials worth millions.

Jean really didn’t expect her to know such a pruning method, and he was also learning it.

When the others saw Lyana’s expression, they only thought she was acting.

Just as everyone thought she was particularly good at bragging and was about to leave, they saw that she had cut the stone.

Everyone was amazed.

My god, she really knew how to cut.

That’s not all, others could also see the icy color on the surface of the material.

Although only a small part was exposed, it was enough to shock everyone.

That crummy stone that cost $200 actually contained ice jade?

When Regine saw that, she giggled and laughed:

– It is normal that there are icy colors in this stone. I think it could be worth tens of dollars.

When she said that, the others calmed down.

– The rough stones that were sent today must have been brought from the Emerald Mountains. It is only natural that they can be cut to reveal the ice jade.

– It’s true. Also, there is very little Ice Jade. What’s so strange.

– Maybe it’s just a coincidence that the whole stone has this small amount of ice jade.

– Great minds think alike. That’s what I thought.

– Let’s see how she does.

Lyana took a closer look at the ice jade, then took the brush and continued brushing the shell near it.

After Lyana’s careful polishing, more and more of the shell fell off, and the area where the ice jade was planted gradually expanded.

She placed the ice jade in the water and gently rubbed the part with the ice jade. The feeling of coldness spread throughout his body.

That was it. That’s how it feels.

His bet paid off.

The corners of his lips curled slightly. The championship was hers!

The old cutting master, who was standing on the side, had just glanced at the ice jade when his expression changed slightly.

He had been in this business for decades. Just by looking at the water, he knew that this stone contained jade.

Jean, who was standing on the side, also found it incredible.

He had never thought that this shabby stone could actually produce jadeite.

Watching the commotion, everyone was confused.

Through the big screen, they could clearly see that the stone in Lyana’s hand was made of jade.

Even Regine, who was standing to the side, turned pale with fright.

How, how was this possible?

It was absolutely impossible!

How can a crummy stone that cost two hundred dollars produce jade?

William stood there, calm, staring at Lyana’s face. Seeing how serious she was, for some reason, the image of her mother suddenly popped into her mind.

Her mother looked the same when she was seriously embroidering.

Their silhouettes gradually overlapped, and they looked 70 or 80% alike.

For a moment, he was a little dazed.

When Lyana was almost done removing the shell from the stone, she prepared to open the stone with the stone shaving machine.

She looked carefully at the stone in her hand. She was going to start playing now.

First, she had to determine the direction of the jade and the texture of the stone. Only then could she open it.

This time no one dared to say anything as they looked like they had been slapped multiple times instantly.

At that time, someone admitted:

– From the technique that Lyana Dubois used for the cutout, she is indeed an expert in stone game.

– It’s true. This stone has already exceeded our imagination. From the ice jade that emerged, she shouldn’t be bad. Now we just want to see if she can get the full jade out inside. I think she should have the ability.

When Regine heard the others praising Lyana, a trace of disdain crossed her eyes. She said angrily:

– Even if she can pull out the jade, so what? How can this stone be a good jade?

Some people who were afraid of the power of the Dunn family quickly echoed.

– It’s true. Miss Dunn is right. Even though the ice jade here is okay, this jade is only the size of a fist. Logically, a jade like this probably only costs a thousand dollars.

– It’s true. It’s a joke that this piece of jade can enter the top 20.

– I think Miss Dubois may be a cutter here. His technique is quite good.

When Regine heard the others say that, she laughed smugly.

Lyana didn’t take their words to heart at all. She carefully cut out the thin slices of the surface of the stone.

She picked up the stone. When her gaze landed on the cracked jadeite, she breathed a sigh of relief.

By the looks of it, she probably hadn’t nicked the best jade inside. She had only cut a corner.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Moreover, she could also see the patterns inside clearly through the corners. The next time she cuts it, he’ll be able to better protect the jade inside.

The people around him sighed and were so nervous that their palms were sweating. For some reason, they felt like this game was even more intense than their own stone game.

No one noticed a man in a black suit standing at the second floor railing. It was none other than Mr. Chavez.
