How was it possible that he was a Grist? The tiny, inconspicuous totem on the ring was the symbol of the Hamertons from Centrolis!

If he were not mistaken, the ring was the Hamertons’ heirloom. It was worn by their ancestors of noble status in the past.

Karine noticed the odd expressions on Oliver’s face. Failing to hold back, she asked. “Mr. Jones, what’s wrong with the ring? Hah, is it fake?”

More and more people gathered outside to watch and discuss among themselves.

Cordelia bit her lip and silently took the ring back. She put it on her ring finger again.

“Not only is the ring authentic, but it’s priceless.” Oliver removed the gloves. “This is an emerald, while the ring should be pure gold extracted from the Hume Gold Mine. Although the design is ancient, it’s priceless.”

“What!?” Karine had a change of expression. “M-Mr. Jones, are you sure about that?”

“What? Are you questioning my competency?”

“No, no. That’s not what I meant…”

Displeased, Oliver glared at her. He then looked at Cordelia with all smiles. “Ms. Cordelia, this emerald’s size, purity, and toughness is rare. The value would be immeasurable if you were to auction it at Christie’s!”

Cordelia was surprised by what he said.

Meanwhile, those people who had assumed they were in for a show were shocked. They whispered among themselves. They had complicated looks on their faces as they looked at her now.

“I heard Ms. Cordelia is outstanding in sales. I’d like to speak to you about some businesses with my company. I wonder if you have time for that?”

Cordelia was stunned. She looked up and looked into Oliver’s warm eyes.

She chuckled. Why would she reject business that came to her doorstep!?

“Please wait for me in the meeting room, Mr. Jones. I’ll pour you a cup of tea and show you my sales plan.”

Cordelia felt her heart squeeze. She turned her head, and Annie and her locked eyes. The latter looked at her anxiously.
