The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 249

Calista’s gaze grew heavy as she watched Percival stand next to Vivienne. She had planned to embarrass Vivienne in his absence, but his unexpected arrival had thrown a wrench in her plans.

However, it didn’t matter Vivienne had already purchased the number 198 gemstone anyway, so the 30 million was destined to be spent.

Even if the money didn’t come from the Brooks family, if the Ellingtons found out that Vivienne had persuaded Percival to spend such an enormous amount on a gamble, they would surely be disgruntled, which could potentially harm their engagement.

Percival looked down at Vivienne with eyes full of indulgence. “Buy whatever you want, I’ll foot the bill. If 30 million isn’t enough, I’ll give you a billion!”

30 million was nothing if it made Vivienne happy, he could ship over the raw jade stones from his mines in the Mirelia Continent and let his darling play with a new one every day

“It won’t be a loss Vivienne said casually.

“Miss Brooks is so confident. Why don’t we cut the stone you purchased now?” Calista suggested, hiding her amusement. She wanted Vivienne to be embarrassed in front

of everyone

“Sure “Vivienne agreed

Upon hearing this, Barret immediately arranged for it. After all the stones that had been auctioned off were paid for, they would be cut on the spot.

Not only Vivienne, but also everyone else who had won a bid, agreed to have their stones cut on the spot, much to the delight of the crowd.

Soon, the stones were cut one by one according to the order of the bids. Some were profitable, others were not.

Among them, the stone that Carl had won for 12 million dollars was the biggest loss.

Even though the stone was of high–quality jade and some parts even reached top quality, it was colorless and filled with moss and tiny cracks. It couldn’t be used for bracelets or even ring faces

It was probably not even worth half million.

Carl’s face fell even harder than the stone itself.
