Chapter 1379 Selena Picks a Stone...
Hattie nodded. "I believe Selena will definitely win!" Looking at the two little ones who trusted her unreservedly, Selena smiled. "Not knowing how to pick stones doesn't mean you can't pick the best one." "Hattie, finished your food, I'll take you to pick the stone." Upon hearing Selena's words, Hattie lowered her head, finished her milk tea, wiped her mouth, and then bounced in front of Selena with a lively look.
"Selena, I'm ready.” Selena touched her hair and took she's hand, and began to wander around the entire venue.
The venue was very large and filled with rough stones with marked prices.
Selena walked around the entire venue and finally stopped in front of a stone.
She stared at the stone for a moment and finally spoke. "Leia, put the sign up.” Leia had followed Selena for a long time and had developed the instinct of "believing whatever the master says". She immediately went up excitedly and hung the sign with Selena's name on it.

After hanging the sign, she was still not at ease, afraid that the Soo family would play dirty tricks. She took out her phone and took pictures of it from all angles.
Suddenly, a soft voice came from beside her. "Miss Turner." Selena was carefully examining the stone, but turned her head to look when she heard the voice.
Aurelia was standing next to her, with a young girl holding a basket behind her. The basket was full of signs with Aurelia's name on them.
Meeting Selena’s gaze, Aurelia felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Turner. | was with Mr. Soo entertaining guests outside and didn't know..." Selena smiled. "Miss Bennett, no need to be so polite.” Aurelia hurriedly said, "Miss Turner, please believe me. If | had known, | would never have said those words." Selena raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that, Miss Bennett?" Aurelia blinked and seemed not to understand her meaning.
Selena said flatly, "Emotionally, we are strangers, so naturally there is no reason for us to spare each other." "Rationally, you are the future mistress of the Soo family appointed by Nicholas, and | am a Turner. The grudges between the two families are well known." "It is perfectly normal for you and me to be enemies." "Miss Bennett, please don't apologize again in the future. Hearing too much of these words makes people wonder if you have any ulterior motives." Faced with Selena’s cold attitude, Aurelia's face changed.
But the young girl behind Aurelia couldn't bear it and said, "Why do you speak so harshly? My sister came to apologize to you with good intentions!" "Edith! Don't be rude to Miss Turner!" Aurelia reprimanded Edith, then turned to Selena, "My little sister is spoiled by our family, please don't mind, Miss Turner." Selena smiled unchanged, "It's alright.” Edith glared at her viciously.
Aurelia paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Miss Turner is right, | am too short-sighted.” After speaking, her gaze fell on the stone Selena had chosen. After hesitating for a moment, she advised, "Miss Turner, forgive me for being frank, this stone is irregular in shape, the surface color is too dark, and the texture is full of grooves. It's most likely a waste stone..." Selena's lips curled, "It's okay, | like it." Edith angrily said, "My sister is the most talented person in the younger generation of the gambling stone industry. Whoever wants her advice has to pay a high price!" "She kindly reminded you, it's your honor! Don't be ungrateful!" Aurelia was a celebrity in the gambling stone industry, and many people at the scene wanted her advice, so her every move was highly anticipated.
After hearing Edith's words, everyone's gaze fell on the stone Selena had chosen. At a glance, many people couldn't help but sneer.
"The stone Miss Turner chose looks like... a turtle?" "Haha, isn't it just a big tortoise lying on its back? A strange-looking stone like this will never produce jade." "Miss Turner, listen to Miss Bennett's opinion. This is obviously a stone that's just there to make up the numbers. If you buy it, you will suffer a big loss." Selena stared at the "adorable" big turtle, "I think it's quite cute.” Everyone was silent.
Aurelia pursed her lips.
Even if she felt guilty towards Selena and was repeatedly rejected and coldly treated, if she had to keep smiling and welcoming her, she would really be too pitiful.
In Edith’s eyes, Selena’s behavior was deliberately opposing Aurelia.
Edith snorted coldly, "Sister, let's not bother with her." "You have a good heart, but she treats it as if it's worthless. Such an ungrateful person will suffer a loss and it's well-deserved." Aurelia's gaze swept over the strange-looking "big turtle” without any emotional fluctuations and nodded to Selena, "Miss Turner, take your time choosing.” After speaking, she turned and walked away.

Leia was so angry that she wanted to hit her, but Selena stopped her and said, "Let's continue picking." Selena led Hattie and wandered around the hall.
Selena picked stones with no particular pattern. She picked them up randomly, big and small, with different shapes and patterns, and there was no similarity among them.
Moreover, she was very fast. Whenever she found a stone she liked, she would casually point at it, and Leia would immediately go to hang a tag without any hesitation.
The men in the hall shook their heads, while the women enjoyed the scene.
They felt that Miss Turner was definitely going to lose a lot of money today.
Edith saw Selena wandering around, picking those ugly stones one by one, and looked down on her, "What kind of rubbish is this woman picking? She's really stupid..." Aurelia was examining a stone in front of her with great concentration, seemingly not hearing Edith's rude words.
Edith's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly asked, "Sister, what kind of jade are you going to pick for 'brother-in-law'?" Her eyes suddenly became envious, "Only emperor green is worthy of him, nothing else can compare.” Aurelia's lips curled up with a smile, "These stones are just decorations, the gift I'm going to give him is not here." Edith thought that Aurelia was about to marry into the Soo family, becoming a real high society figure, and there was a hint of sourness in her eyes, but she said with a smile, "I believe that you will be able to pick the best jade to give to brother-in-law, unlike that Miss Turner who said she was going to pick a wedding ring for her fiance but ended up picking some trash.”
