Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 692

Chapter 692

The moment he saw Rachel pick up her phone, David paused for a moment.

With a tremor, David’s thin lips curled into a faint smile.

David lowered his eyes and looked at the message from Rachel. [It’s just a stone. Is it worth it?]

The butler, who was standing in front of the railing, checked David’s expression. After hesitating for a while, the butler took a step forward and said respectfully, “Sir, do you want to continue?”

David didn’t say anything. David quickly tapped on the keyboard as he replied to Rachel, [I have to find a way to give you what you want.]

Seeing David’s reply, Rachel’s eyelashes fluttered. Rachel felt warmth appear in her heart like a soft and smooth piece of satin.

When the surrounding people saw that the person from the Heavenly Private Room did not speak for a long time, they became agitated.

“What’s going on in the Heavenly Private Room?”

“I heard that the person in that room is him…”

Before that person could finish speaking, the man’s cold voice sounded again. “Double!”

The simple word stunned everyone.

Even the auctioneer, who had seen all kinds of things, had a complicated expression on his face.

Although the auctioneer did not know anything about stone gambling, he had seen all kinds of rare treasures in the Moon Pavilion over the years. This lousy stone was not worth 1.2 million dollars!

Moreover, this was stone gambling. Nine out of ten gamblers would lose!

It was nothing but throwing money away!

In his shock, the professional auctioneer regained his senses. The auctioneer cleared his throat, but his voice was mixed with an uncontrollable tremble. “The Heavenly Private Room has bid 1.2 million. Does anyone else want to follow up?”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

When the person in the Earthly Private Room heard David’s offer, his heart could not help but sink.

The woman lowered her head and stroked the cat in her arms. Her red lips parted slightly as she said. ambiguously, “It’s just an inconspicuous stone. Is it worth his effort?”

When the man standing at the side heard this, his eyebrows twitched slightly. “Should we continue?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“I’m surprised that he thinks highly of it.” The woman sighed softly. “The thing that one doesn’t have is always the best. Why don’t we fulfill his wish for now? Otherwise, he will think about it for the rest of his life. When he finds out that the stone is nothing special, he will naturally let go.”

As the woman spoke, the auctioneer below the stage repeated the bid. “1.2 million going once, 1.2 million going twice, 1.2 million going thrice!”

With the final decision, the stone became David’s.

After bidding, the staff asked David for instructions, “Sir, should we cut this stone open now, or do you want to take it away directly?”

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts could not help but skip a beat as they stared at the Heavenly Private Room.

They were all eager to see the stone that David spent 1.2 million dollars on.

If David were to take the stone away, the people would not be able to enjoy the show.

In the long silence, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

“Let’s cut it open. David’s voice was cold as usual, but it made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.

David stood up.

lifted the curtain in front of him, and walked out of the private room.

David had one hand in his pocket and the other casually placed on the wooden fence. His posture was casual.

David’s presence was impossible to ignore. Even though David was standing quietly at this moment, his entire body emitted a soul-stirring pressure that was enough to shock everyone.

As the cutter cut the stone, the inconspicuous stone revealed its unique beauty.

“Fuck! It’s green!”

Everyone’s attention was instantly diverted by the exclamation.

Everyone rushed forward. When they saw the green color, they were instantly intrigued.

“If it’s full of green, he will be getting his money back!”

“It’s too early to say that. It’s only the first cut. If you want to know if he can get back the money, you have to see the second cut.”

“That’s right. Many stones look great with the first cut. but turned into trash with the second.”

People discussed it openly, but David did not care at all. David said casually, “Continue.”

The cutter understood. He held the stone with both hands and cut it again.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, the second cut was made.

As soon as the lights were turned on, the entire place fell silent.

The outer layer was green. Although it was only a thin layer, the inside of the stone was different.

It was glass gemstone inside. It was pure and flawless, and there were even snowflakes floating.

The most amazing thing about the stone was the impeccable purple color.”

It was a pure violet color.

In this industry, the price of gemstone depended on the color. There were red, green, and purple. Purple ones were the most expensive. Clearly, the stone in front of them was the purple one with the highest value!

The expression of an insider changed slightly. His pupils trembled as he said with difficulty, “Is this the legendary ‘Pink Sappire”?”

Usually, a pure purple raw stone would be called Spring Stone. Due to the low production and beautiful color, Spring Stones were naturally expensive.

The Pink Sappire referred to the violet gemstone that was transparent with green flowers in it. It was the best among the purple gemstones.

Someone in the crowd grabbed the collar of the person beside him excitedly. He was so excited that

his face turned red, and sweat appeared on his forehead. “Hurry, hurry, hurry, call the appraiser!”

This was Pink Sappire!

Pink Sappire was priceless, and one had to be extremely lucky to find one.

The appraiser came and did a careful appraisal. After that, everybody was astonished.

The people who were still dozing off all became excited at this moment.

There were also people who lamented, secretly feeling vexed. If they had known earlier, they would have fought for it even if they had to go bankrupt!

“David, your fiancée is getting more and more interesting.” Thomas came to the private room.

Thomas held a cigarette between his fingers and looked down at the people below. The crowd was all anxious and agitated. But David looked indifferent.

It was as if all of this had nothing to do with David.

Even if he lost 12 million dollars, David might not even frown, let alone 1.2 million.

The stone was worth more than 10 times the money David paid. However, David still looked neither sad nor happy. He was difficult to understand.

To David, it did not matter if this stone could turn into something good.

The important thing was that Rachel had taken a fancy to it.

Thomas saw David staring at Rachel thoughtfully and suddenly had a guess. “Could it be that even you didn’t know that Rachel had such an ability before this?”

David chuckled. “Indeed, I don’t know.”

Thomas was speechless.

Thomas took a drag on his cigarette to calm himself down. “You’re getting more and more like a fatuous ruler now.”

At this moment, the butler asked David, “Sir, should I send it back to you now?”

“Leave it to her.” David’s gaze fell on Rachel in the crowd.

Thomas saw David’s gentle gaze and could not help but click his tongue. “Could it be possible that your fiancée put a spell on you?”
