Chapter 1382 Is it pretty?
Mrs. Soo's son had pulled off the cover that had been hiding her shfor so many years, and she had becsomewhat crazy.
"Agnes, you've been dead for so many years! Why do you keep hauntinglike this?!"
"I didn't do anything wrong to you. It's just that you had bad luck, which led to your early death!"
"If it waswho married into the Turner family back then, | would have done better than you..."
Jayden was frightened to tears by his mother's dark and fierce appearance.
However, Mrs. Soo seemed to be deaf to her youngest son's crying, and was only cursing Mrs. Turner with all her heart.
Downstairs.
Selena, Leia, and Hattie had taken a tour inside and outside the entire venue and picked out dozens of stones.
As Selena seemed to be ready to call it a day, Hattie suddenly remembered something and said, "Selena, in addition to these
stones that are displayed for sale, there is also a batch of high-quality raw stones that are specially used for auctioning at ordinary
jade gambling events."
"The best jade at these gambling events are usually carved out from those stones."
Selena, who was unaware of these rules, smiled when she heard Hattie's words and said, "Let's go take a look."
Leia found a waiter and asked for the location of the auction area. The three girls walked over there with ease.
It was only after Selena arrived that she realized that almost all of the top-notch wealthy people in the capital's aristocratic circle
had gathered in this area.
As soon as Selena appeared, she received weird glances from the entire room. It was evident that her purchase of a "Turtle" had
already spread to this place.
Selena was calm and looked around for a place to sit.
A young master from a wealthy family who was sitting in the front row stood up and said, "Miss Turner, there is a seat here."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena was about to refuse, but a plain voice cfirst, "Thank you, but they already have seats."
Selena looked up and saw Leon walking over.
"Chere."
Hattie sneered and held Selena's hand, walking over to the empty seat that Leon had occupied.
This was the front row, a separate empty table with an excellent view.
The only thing that was unsatisfactory was that the Riddle family was sitting across from them.
As soon as Selena arrived, she received several resentful glances.
Then Selena found that her mood had improved even more, picked up a cup of tea, and elegantly sipped it twice.
Not long after, Aurelia cover with Edith. When she saw Selena, Aurelia smiled and nodded, then sat down on her left.
Hattie snorted.
Selena looked over curiously. "Hattie, you don't like her?"
Although she had disliked many people before, such as Leah, Georgia, and Constance, she could still maintain peace on the
surface.
This was the first tshe had clearly expressed her dislike for someone.
Hattie nodded firmly, "I don't like her!"
Selena raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
Although she didn't know Aurelia's true character, so far, she had not done anything particularly outrageous. Why did Hattie hate
her so much?
"lI don't know," Hattie stared at Aurelia for a moment, "I just hate her when | see her!"
Then she added, "The more | look at her, the more | hate her!"
Selena laughed and patted her hair. "Just ignore her then."
Aurelia had not been here for long before Nicholas brought the Soo family down to sit at the stable as her.
The auction on stage began soon after.
The ways capitalists made money were truly diverse.
These stones displayed on the stage, whether in shape or pattern, were much better than those in the trading area.
The chances of getting jade were naturally much higher.
Of course, the auction prices were much higher than those marked in the trading area.
Selena was clearly interested in shopping for the first time.
However, she didn't bid on any of the first batch of stones displayed on stage, and instead, Aurelia picked one of them.
After several batches, Selena still didn't bid, and Leon reminded her, "We're almost halfway through."
In other words, if she didn't bid soon, she might not be able to beat Aurelia.
Selena shook her head, "No rush."
Leon's lips twitched as he looked at Selena's relaxed expression. He couldn't help asking, "What are you considering when picking
a stone?"
Judging from Selena's initial choice of a "turtle," he found that she really didn't know how to pick a stone. But she had said that she
would beat Aurelia.
According to Selena's style, she must have a plan.
Leon originally thought Selena wouldn't answer his question, especially with so many people around. But unexpectedly, Selena
blinked and actually replied, "Of course, considering whether it's good-looking or not..."

Leon and a group of people with their ears pricked up were shocked.
Edith burst out laughing, "What an idiot!"
In the silence, her laughter sounded particularly clear. Leia was so angry that she was about to stand up and hit her, but Aurelia
had already taken the lead and scolded Edith, "Edith, apologize to Miss Turner!"
Edith pouted and said indifferently, "I just said something random, | didn't nanyone. Why should | apologize?"
Aurelia was so angry that she glared at her sister, then turned to Selena and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Turner. Please don't take it to
heart."
Selena remained calm and sipped her tea.
Leia picked up her cup and snapped it, her eyes fixed on Edith with a murderous look. "That's right. It's like if you go out later and
get hit by a car, beaten up in a bag, or get hit by a flower pot falling from above... it's all your fault for your mouth!"
Edith shuddered and leaned towards Aurelia, still stubbornly insisting, "I didn't say anything wrong. Even a newcomer who knows
nothing knows not to pick a stone just because it looks good."
"It's one thing if she doesn't know, but she shouldn't stop others from speaking out. That's just too domineering!"
Leia sneered.
Selena couldn't be bothered to argue with this kind of person and called out, "Leia."
Leia sat down with a huff, but her gaze towards the Bennett sisters had a hint of coldness.
Aurelia glared at her sister.
Edith pouted but ultimately didn't dare to say anything more.
The auction on the platform continued.
Another batch of stones was brought up.
Selena looked over them and finally fixed her gaze on one of them.
She raised her hand and pointed at the stone, but before she could speak, Aurelia's voice rang out first...
