Chapter 1394 The Reason With just a few words from Wyatt, the tense atmosphere in the room immediately tightened again.
All eyes fell on Selena's face, unable to hide their greed and heat.
Aurelia's gaze was particularly intense.
Selena's ability to pick stones was simply incredible! Everyone knew that there must be something fishy about it.
And Selena had said that she would reveal her method of picking stones to everyone after the gambling was over.
Facing the intense and excited or anxious gazes in the hall, Selena looked at Aurelia and smiled slightly, "Miss Bennett, are you admitting defeat?" Aurelia's face was ashen.
She didn't want to admit defeat! But in the situation where she had lost all her money, she had no other choice but to admit defeat.
Aurelia turned to look at Alfie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man was looking at Selena from beginning to end and had never looked at her.
Alook of sadness flashed in Aurelia's eyes, and she looked at Nicholas with an apologetic gaze, "I'm sorry, Mr. Soo..." Nicholas’ face was stiff. Although he felt disappointed with Aurelia in his heart, he couldn't explode in front of everyone. He said in a low voice, "Winning and losing is a common thing in war. One defeat doesn't mean anything. You can win it back in the future." Aurelia felt even more guilty after hearing this, and she deeply lowered her head. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Selena, gritting her teeth, "Yes, Miss Turner, | lost today." And with Aurelia's admission of defeat, it meant that the Soo family had lost as well.
Sure enough, after Aurelia said these words, the members of the Soo family faction looked even more unhappy.
Selena's smile became even more prominent, "I really love hearing those words..." Leia happily clapped her hands, "Weren't you guys just shouting and asking the inheritor of the Jade King to come and humiliate Madam Selena? And what happened? You lost billions with just one move, and the carefully selected token of love turned into a pile of waste and debris... serves you right!" Leia's words made the Soo family faction even more embarrassed and angry, and they glared at Selena, wishing they could eat her alive.
Aurelia trembled all over and wished to find a hole to hide in and never come out.
Nicholas grinned with a smile. "Aurelia has already admitted defeat. Selena, now you can tell us how you picked your stone, right?" Selena looked at Nicholas with a cold and playful gaze. "Since Nicholas has personally admitted defeat on behalf of the Soo family, there's nothing that can't be said." Nicholas’ hand on his cane almost deformed as he struggled to maintain his smile in the face of Selena's taunts.
As everyone watched in suspense, Selena's slender fingers brushed over her eyes. She smiled casually and said, "It's not a very difficult answer to guess." "Years ago, Lab 717 developed a type of invisible contact lenses, which didn't have any other practical use other than allowing one to see through objects.” "When | received your invitation and learned that the Soo family was holding a stone gambling event today, | made a special phone call and had my teacher send them to me." "| just wore them and picked my stone..." Everyone who knew that Selena would say something shocking was stunned...
Osvaldo looked at his wife, who was full of joy in his arms, and the curve of his lips deepened.
Leon's lips twitched heavily.
Alfie lowered his eyes to conceal his amusement.
Aurelia froze.
Nicholas’ face turned dark and frightening.
Even Wyatt, who was usually unflappable, was shocked by this absurd answer.
The hall fell into a strange silence.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't think straight by Selena's unexpected answer.
They had come up with countless reasons, such as Selena having incredible luck or using some means of investigation, and some even suspected that Selena was cheating...
But they never expected her answer to be so simple.
Invisible contact lenses?! If Selena was wearing invisible contact lenses, then all the stones on site would be transparent to her?! She would know immediately what kind of jade was in each stone just by glancing at them? The people who knew this fact felt their faces twitching violently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey finally understood how she managed to pick out so many good jade pieces with 100% accuracy! Aurelia's luck was against her, no matter how good her skills were, could she still compete with Selena who had such an unfair advantage? The group glared at Selena, feeling angry, anxious, and regretful, as if they had suffered a heart attack.
Because the answer was so unexpected, no one knew what to say. Even Wyatt was speechless in the face of this answer.
Nicholas’ face had never been so dark. He glared at Selena fiercely. If Osvaldo hadn't come here, he would have wanted to kick Selena out immediately! Among them, Aurelia was undoubtedly the most unacceptable. She stood unsteadily in place, staring at Selena with a pale face and a mix of anger and frustration. She couldn't even speak properly, "Miss Turner, you... you're cheating!" No matter how lucky Aurelia was or how good her gambling skills were, she couldn't possibly compete with someone who was "cheating" like Selena! Selena blinked in apparent confusion, "Is there a rule in gambling that cheating is not allowed?" Aurelia choked and couldn't answer.
Because gambling wasn't a competition, there really was no one to stipulate that cheating was not allowed! But losing to Selena like this, Aurelia was extremely unwilling and felt so wronged that she was about to cry, "But... no one is like you... bullying..." Selena smiled, but her tone was cold, "Miss Bennett, isn't your existence itself a means of cheating?" Selena continued, "You were invited by the Soo family as a gambling expert, specifically to use your skills to pick stones for the Soo family to beat me." "And besides you, almost everyone from the noble families present has invited gambling experts to help pick stones. Are they not cheating?" Selena's question left everyone speechless.
For those who didn't know anything about gambling, they would hire someone who did to help them pick stones. It was a common practice in the gambling world.
Wyatt's reputation as the "Jade King" came from this.
Therefore, no noble family present dared to deny, with a clear conscience, that they had not cheated.
The only difference between Selena and them was that she did not hire an expert, but used high technology instead.
Aurelia was so angry that her vision went black, but she couldn't come up with a refutation.
Faced with Selena's question, everyone felt choked up and uncomfortable, unable to find any reason to refute her accusations except to glare at her.
Selena said in a calm voice, "When it comes down to it, gambling is about who has the best skills, excluding the element of luck, isn't it?" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
