Chapter 1081:

“What do you think?” Nate whispered to Corrine, leaning in close.

She shot him a quick look, then motioned for him to cnearer. In a low voice, she replied, “I think that stone's

a fake.”

Nate's eyes flickered with curiosity. A small smile tugged at his lips as he looked at her, his gaze playful yet

thoughtful. “What makes you say that?”

His eyes turned to the stone being sliced. In the light, the white stone with a touch of green seemed of decent

quality.

Corrine met his gaze, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Because everyone thinks it’s real.”

In the end, stone betting was all about perception. She watched the stone being cut, thought for a moment, and

then said plainly, “It’s a gamble. You could either hit it big or lose everything in an instant. People with the wrong

mindset might even end up destroyed. How many stories have you heard of people getting rich quick from stone

betting? It’s mostly people losing it all. Tricks like using cheap stones and hiding them with a layer of better

material on top are pretty common. The owner of Moonlight Plaza isn’t stupid. Tonight's show is just a marketing

stunt. If he had a real gem, why would he sell it like this?”

In the surveillance room, Herbert couldn’t hold back a slight smirk. She was sharp, no doubt about it.

Meanwhile, the man’s stone was being cut open. Just as Corrine had predicted, the stone’s green color turned

out to be the only thing of value. The rest was just worthless gray rock.

“Damn!” the buyer muttered bitterly under his breath. “What rotten luck!”

Spending a million on a useless stone!

The crowd groaned, as if they had lost a fortune themselves.

“You sure know your stuff.” Nate pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist and giving her side a light

squeeze. He leaned in, his voice low. “How about you give it a shot? If you win, the prize is yours. If you lose, it’s

on me.”

“You sure you're not worried I'll take everything you've got?” Corrine raised an eyebrow, glancing at him

sideways.

Even a quick look from her was enough to draw attention. Her eyes had a way of captivating, even when she

wasn't trying.

Nate tightened his hold on her waist just a little, swallowing hard. His gaze deepened, full of focus. “If it means |

get a smile from you, it'll be worth it.”

Corrine gave him a warm smile in return.
