I Spy With My Secret Eyes By Michael Ellis Novel

Chapter 146 

Before Oliver could call them back, Wayne had called. 

The moment Oliver turned on his phone, Wayne received a text message notifying him about this. He called Oliver immediately. 

“Boss, send me your location right away!” texted Wayne. 

That was Wayne’s first message. He didn’t ask Oliver what happened. In his opinion, getting to Oliver as soon as possible was the most important thing. 

Without asking for reasons, Oliver sent his location to him and then texted, “I’m fine. Don’t worry!” 

After receiving the position, Wayne sent his second message: “Be there in two hours!” 

Oliver checked the time on his phone. It was 11:12 am. 

Will patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Dude, let’s go to the living room inside.” 

Feeling Will’s sincerity and enthusiasm, Oliver didn’t refuse or say anything even though he was disgusted with Jenifer. In the living room, Will asked the servants to bring the beverage. 

After the servants placed the beverage down on the table, Oliver noticed the porcelain cups on the servant’s plate. The white porcelain was bright and rounded. He then realized that its manufacturing time could be traced back to the rule of Emperor Edward! 

This set of porcelain alone was worth more than 200,000 dollars. However, people like Will had no interest in this, so he didn’t know much about its true value. 

The coffee, which was called Premium Earl Grey, was quite good and smelled fragrant. 

“The rich really know how to enjoy their lives. The best material is used even in the tiniest thing,” thought Oliver. 

Seeing Oliver staring at the coffee cup, Will couldn’t help laughing and asked, “Why are you staring at the cup so hard?” 

Oliver said thoughtfully, “Mr. Woods, aren’t you worried that the servant might accidentally break the cup? After all, one cup each is worth about 200,000 dollars.” 

Shaking his head, Will said with a smile, “Our servants have been working for our family for two generations. And there are strict rules for the newcomers. They know that they can’t afford it if they break the cup. My family is quite humane as long as they don’t intentionally or deliberately break these antiques. There is indeed the possibility that some of them break the porcelain by accident, and that truly happened once. But it just can’t be more rare. Never have we asked compensation from 

them.” 

Oliver nodded again. It seemed to him that the Woods family was not as bad as he thought. But he still wondered why Jenifer would have such an arrogant and unreasonable character. 

Seeing Oliver’s glance at her, Jenifer blushed, which was quite rare. She whispered, “O-Oliver, I’m sorry. I just want to keep you…” 

Rubbing his head, Will said with a wry smile, “Dude, I have to apologize to you for my sister’s behavior. But she really has no malicious intentions. Maybe she is indeed a little wayward. Alas… Oliver, let’s enjoy the coffee!” 

Oliver took a sip of coffee, and Will stared at him again, “Oliver, I know you’re from Jeahron. As for Manuel who came with you, I have dug out details about him. As the owner of the Aureate Jewelry, he is kind of a successful businessman. However, I still don’t know anything about you. Haha, my brother, I don’t mean any harm. I just want to know where you come from and what kind of business you do. I’m curious about you and quite interested in making friends with you!” 

Oliver nodded and replied frankly, “You don’t have to look into my background. I am an ordinary person who deals in the wholesale of jadeite and jade stones. Of course, I’m also open to any business with promising profits. But at present, my main business lies only in raw emerald roughs. This is also my first time playing wood gambling here.” 

“The first time?” Will was shocked to know that Oliver was a newbie in this game! 

Historically, the Woods family made their first fortune in the rosewood sector. It mainly involved scentedwoods and precious redwoods. As for the sandalwood, it was but a bywork because of its rarity. 

Will was especially good at gambling on scentedwoods, but all that he knew lay in the rules of this game. The key factor of gambling on scentedwoods was actually “luck”. 

Over the years, his ancestors, as well as other predecessors, had actually left a set of experience and techniques in gambling an scentedwoods. 

Will still felt unbelievable about his experience in Forest’s factory. There were hundreds of people, all of whom were top experts in the industry. However, none of them but hundreds of them guessed any items correctly. Yet Oliver won all eighteen of the scentedwoods with grimaces. The rest players lost all their money, making Oliver the final winner. Could it be explained merely by luck? 

What Oliver had done made Will suddenly feel that luck, which his ancestors considered the key factor, was quite/unreal. 

He concluded that Oliver must have a method of identifying items, which was extremely precise. 

Will now found it even more incredible that Oliver was not a veteran of this game. 

Will thought it was unrealistic that Oliver could kill in his virgin show in the wood gambling. 

He thought for a while and agreed that Oliver must have some special tricks. And he also knew that Oliver would never talk about those tricks, let alone teach others. So Will stopped digging deeper. 

If Will was the one who had those tricks, he wouldn’t tell others no matter how much he could make by teaching others. 

“Oliver, you said that your business lies in jadeite and jade stones. I’d like to give my grandmother an excellent set of jadeite jewelry. Do you have any recommendations?” said Will. 

Oliver really didn’t like it when people tried to get to the bottom of his background. Luckily, Will did understand him very well. Instead of asking more questions, he changed the topic to jadeite jewelry. 

Oliver nodded without hesitation and said, “Sure. A few days ago, I won a few top-notch emeralds from stone gambling in Manchernius. I keep them in Manuel’s Aureate Jewelry and intend to make them accessories. In fact, I own half shares in Aureate Jewelry. If you get any interest, I can contact Manuel for you later.” 

Hearing what Oliver said, Will was immediately overjoyed. He looked back at Jenifer and said, “Jenifer, I’d like to book a set of jade jewelry from Oliver in the name of you and me.” 

Jenifer also nodded excitedly and agreed, “Okay, but I only have 10 or 12 million dollars in cash available at most. I can’t trade my shares in the company for money, can I? The company won’t pay dividends until the end of the year. Asking for money from Dad and Mom is apparently not an option, or they would know our plan!” 

Shaking his head, Will smiled, “All right, I’ll pay for it. And the gift will still be given to Grandma in the name of you and 

me.” 

Then Will asked Oliver again, “Amigo, how much is a set of top-notch jadeite jewelry?” 

Oliver pondered for a while and then answered, “Reservation is indeed in Manuel’s shop. A pair of top-grade jadeite bracelets is about 15 million dollars, and the minimum price of a pendant is 5 million dollars. Manuel will be there soon. He can talk to you in detail.” 

“Okay,” said Will. 

Will then whispered to Oliver, “I apologize to you for what my sister did to the three friends of yours. It’s just that… she is so into you!” 

Jenifer did leave no good impression on Oliver. But Will was indeed a nice person. As the future leader of the Woods family, he had shown great respect to an unknown man like Oliver and had no personality as a playboy at all. 

After pondering for a while, Oliver said in a low voice, “I can ignore your sister’s rudeness to me, but I can’t make the same decisions for my friends. They will decide on their own when they arrive.”
