The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 599

"If this piece is good, it’s worth quite a bit," the boss said as he worked the blade across the stone. "But I picked it up as scrap, so whether there’s anything inside is all down to luck..."

He kept talking as he cut, but then he stopped mid-sentence. "Looks like we’ve got a winner," he said, blinking at the fresh cut.

Dewitt leaned in for a look and grinned. "Well, would you look at that. It actually turned out green."

Claire stared, shocked. She seriously hadn't thought much about her pick. She’d just grabbed whichever rough stone felt right since, honestly, none of them really knew what they were doing.

Still, somehow, she’d hit the jackpot again.

Sophia nudged her and laughed. "Claire, you’re our lucky charm. I think we all need to stick close to you."

Len let out a dramatic sigh. "How come I never get that lucky?" The stone had looked like a plain black rock. Who’d have guessed there was jade hiding inside?

Shirley gave Claire an exaggerated once-over. "With luck like yours, let’s go try our hand at the Casino!"

Who could believe she’d bet twice and won both times?

The rest of them were left out, while Claire kept pocketing the rewards for pure luck.

"This might be all the luck I’ve got," Claire said, shaking her head.

She didn’t take any of it seriously as she watched the boss get back to work, carefully chipping away at the rest of the stone.

The owner glanced up and gave some advice. "If you're not sure about processing the whole thing, you could sell it now, even though it's only partially cut."

He eyed the green inside with appreciation. "I’d say you've got yourself a great jade right here. That’s crazy valuable."

He couldn’t help sharing more. "Honestly, this is the best piece I’ve ever opened up at this stall. It’s my fault for mixing things up. If I hadn’t gotten them confused, I would’ve opened this one myself last night. Wouldn’t have left any for you to pick."

He waved a hand over the stone, almost defensively. "This ugly lump might look like nothing from the outside, but it’s real black-skin jadeite, the kind that always gives you a beautiful green inside."
