Chapter 1392 LetShow You Something Interesting
Due to the coldness and cruelty of the Riddle family towards Selena and Nevaeh, Patrick was very disgusted with the Riddle family
and didn't pay much attention to them.
After hearing Oscar's words, he thought carefully for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with what my father said?"
"Many things," Oscar replied calmly. "The death of the Riddle family's second young lady, their disregard and ruthlessness towards
all their daughters, the second young master suddenly taking another wife, and Maddox suddenly agreeing to marry into the Soo
family... none of it makes sense."
Although the old couple from the Riddle family were never good people to begin with, their mistreatment of Nevaeh made it seem
almost inevitable that they would also mistreat Selena.
But Oscar still felt that there were many things that didn't add up.
Patrick frowned. "Selena was close to the Riddle family's young lady, and she should know something about the second young
lady's death."
Oscar remembered how the Riddle family had brazenly brought their mistress and illegitimate daughter to the gambling
convention today, and how Selena had beaten up the woman. After a moment of contemplation, he instructed, "Keep an eye on
her for a while."
Patrick knew that "her" referred to Selena. The woman Selena had beaten up was not likely to let it go easily, given how vicious
she was.
He nodded. "I'll go pick up Selena after the gambling convention is over."
As for the abnormalities within the Riddle family, the Turner family didn't have the standing to pay too much attention to them, and
could only rely on Leon to investigate.
At the gambling convention.
Everyone held their breath and stared unblinkingly at the stone-cutting machine.
Aurelia pointed to the spot where the green emerged and said confidently, "Start cutting from here."

This was an emperor green jade of considerable size, and most stone-cutting masters wouldn't dare to touch it lightly.
The stone-cutters wiped the sweat from their foreheads and, with the help of a few assistants, began to cut the stone.
As the sound of the cutting grew louder and louder, everyone's hearts grew tighter and tighter.
Aurelia took the opportunity to glance at Selena. After all, such a large piece of emperor green jade was something that no one
could afford to ignore.
And this is also the only stone that Selena has ever fought with her for.
Aurelia didn't quite believe that she was only doing this to retaliate against Edith's disrespect. She was more inclined to think that
Selena was also interested in this stone, but gave up because she wasn't sure if it could yield an imperial green.
Aurelia originally thought she would see Selena nervous and uneasy, but she didn't expect Selena to be talking to her boyfriend,
not even glancing in her direction.
This dismissive attitude made Aurelia feel inexplicably uncomfortable. The stone she got before was no match for Selena, which
made her feel particularly frustrated, as someone who had never been defeated.
At the critical moment, the fact that the other party still didn't regard her as an opponent at all, made Aurelia feel a painful blow to
her self-esteem.
Unable to bear it any longer, Aurelia spoke up, "Miss Turner, won't you cand take a look at this stone?"
Selena was originally talking to Osvaldo. When she heard Aurelia's words, she turned to look at her and said, "There's nothing
worth looking at."
Naturally, there was no need to pay special attention.
Aurelia held back for a moment, but couldn't resist anymore, "Miss Bennett, are you looking down on me?"
She had thrown the gauntlet at Selena to challenge her, but the other party had such an attitude. It was unpleasant to think about
it.
Selena didn't intend to pay any attention to Aurelia, but the latter's persistence interrupted her conversation with Osvaldo.
Selena smiled and finally turned her attention to the stone that Aurelia was opening, her expression becoming playful.
"Since Miss Bennett is so sincere in her invitation, | guess | can take a look," she said in a domineering tone, making Aurelia clench
her fists in anger.
She smiled, "I hope you can still be so confident later."
Selena glanced at her and her playful expression intensified, "Thank you, Miss Bennett."
Aurelia turned to her own mother and ignored Selena, focusing all her attention on the stone.
Hattie looked at Selena's calm expression, although she had confidence in Selena, but this stone...
She had asked her brother and it was highly likely to yield the best imperial green.
Hattie held Selena's hand and couldn't help but tighten her grip.
Selena sensed she's anxiety and stroked her hair, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Hattie whispered, "Thank you, Selena."
She knew that if it wasn't for her, Selena wouldn't have cto the Soo family's territory, let alone gamble on stones.
If Selena lost today, the Soo family would definitely use this opportunity to mock her and let Aurelia step on her to take over.
Selena said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry."
Although Selena said this, she couldn't control her nerves. She opened her eyes wide and watched as the huge stone was peeled
away.
In the suffocating silence, the stone cutter made the first cut.
Because the cut was made next to the imperial green that had been exposed, Aurelia had high hopes that this cut would reveal
sgreen.
But to her surprise, nothing appeared.
The green remained the same, without any additional hue.

Aurelia gritted her teeth and said, "Continue!"
It was not realistic to expect the entire stone to contain green, so perhaps they needed to make more cuts. The stone cutter heard
her words and continued cutting.
After several more cuts, still no green appeared.
Aurelia's face began to show her frustration.
She looked at the exposed imperial green and noticed that it extended from the middle. She said, "Continue cutting along this
area."
The stone cutter wiped the sweat from his forehead and, together with a few other people, rotated the stone and continued
cutting.
Aurelia watched closely.
After a few more cuts, the area where green was most likely to appear still remained the same.
Aurelia's heart began to panic, and the people around her also becanxious.
"Why isn't there any green?"
"We've made so many cuts already. Even if we do find sgreen, it probably won't be as good as Selena's..."
"With so much of it exposed, it's impossible for there not to be green. Mutated jade is usually small in size. You can see that from
what Selena opened."
Aurelia panicked at first but then calmed herself down after hearing the last sentence.
Yes!
That must be it!
Mutated jade is usually small, so it's normal not to find any green. After comforting herself, Aurelia turned to look at Alfie, hoping
for ssupport and comfort, but he was not looking at her.
He kept his eyes down, avoiding everyone's gaze. Aurelia's eyes began to turn rosy.
