Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife

The Stone-betting Market was a massive place that consisted of many levels, but bigshots like Mason and Henry wouldn’t linger long at the stalls outside.

“Young Master Mason, Young Master Moss.” Old Man Wells arrived while the three of them were on their way to Area A for stone-gambling.

He was one of Harry’s employees and knowledgeable in stone-betting. Hence, when it involved such occasions, Henry would always take him along.

“Who is this?” Old Man Wells asked while glancing in Janet’s direction.

“She’s my sister-in-law,” Henry absent-mindedly answered.

“Oh, I see. So, you are Young Master Mason’s w—”

Nevertheless, before Old Man Wells could complete his sentence, Mason interrupted, “She is my friend, Janet.

“Oh… So, you are Young Master Mason’s friend…”

Old Man Wells was keen to avoid offending Mason more than Henry and politely greeted, “Nice to meet you, Miss Jackson.”

Janet nodded while giving a faint smile.

Area A was specifically for bigshots, so everyone inside were big bosses of large and listed companies with net worth that exceeded hundreds of millions.

“Miss Janet, why don’t you go ahead and try your luck?” Henry asked with a smile.

Her red lips curled into a smile. “Well, I’ll try it out today.”

They chatted away, making Mason, who stood beside them, feel neglected. Therefore, he coldly glared at Henry, signaling him to chat less.

As expected, it was especially effective on Henry because he immediately fell silent.

In the next second, Old Man Wells broke the silence. “Miss Janet, you should tag along with me later… I’ll teach you some methods; otherwise, you will never earn any money by guessing blindly! Those who became rich by betting on stones went through countless challenging routes and suffered a lot of losses along the way. ”

His eyes narrowed when he smiled, glancing at her, but realizing with a start that she was no longer there.

She had already walked to the front of a stall and spent 5000 on a palm-sized crude stone.

Old Man Wells saw Mason and Henry approaching her, so he awkwardly followed suit.

He reminded her out of kindness. “Miss Jackson, well, you… Although 5000 might be a small sum for you, you shouldn’t have wasted it so casually. You are holding onto an useless piece of material right now. In fact, you can easily pick up this type of stone anywhere from the ground.

Janet smiled when she heard that. “In that case, let’s give it a try. After all, I’m doing this for fun.” She looked up and arched her beautiful eyes at Mason, as if asking for his acknowledgement. “Don’t you agree?”

Mason was persuaded by her smile, nodding lovingly. “I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Henry and Old Man Wells were both at a loss for words when they saw Mason and Janet’s interaction.

As they chatted, she had already fished out a small cutting device and sliced through the material as the palm-sized stone split into halves.

One of which rolled toward Old Man Wells’ leg. “Oh, my God!”

He immediately picked the stone up and wiped it clean with a cloth in his hand. As he stared at the bright-green surface across the halved stone, he started to stammer, “W-Why is this green in color?”

Henry was stumped as well.

The stall owner, who had been checking to ensure that the bank transfer was successful, approached them to have a look as well. He was surprised by what he saw that his phone slipped from his grip.

“Damn it! She only spent 5000 for a piece of emerald-green jade…”

I had that stone at the bottom of the pile all along. I thought that the young girl was a fool when she visited my stall to purchase that stone earlier. Therefore, I sold it to her immediately… I would never have expected it to be green inside! Damn it, I’m so jealous now…

Janet brandished the stone in her hands. “How much can this fetch?”

Henry caressed his chin while weighing his options. “Under normal circumstances, I would have offered 1 million to others. However, since you sliced it, Miss Janet, I’ll buy it for 2 million. Do we have a deal?”

She glared at him while mumbling under her breath, “Screw you.”

With that, she handed both halves of the stone to him. “A few million is too cheap. I’d like to try to see if I’m able to slice a stone worth tens of million.”

Henry, Old Man Wells and Mason were all rendered speechless by her announcement. On the other hand, Mason squinted in silence as his eyes shone with caution. Janet seems to be having a lot of fun.
