Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 341 The cutter straightened his posture and nodded firmly.

Miss, dont worry

With over a decade of experience in stone cutting, III make sure not to damage your stone.

Aspen smiled confidently.

Good.

Then follow my instructions and make the cut.

The man carefully brought the blade down, following Aspens precise directions without a single deviation

As the outer layers were stripped away, the crowd collectively gasped as the interior was revealed.

Its a high quality translucent emerald ! Aspens got an incredible eye for this.

That piece alone is worth far more than 200 thousand dollars.

Shes definitely made a great call on this one.

Man, what a sharp woman.

Her skill at stone gambling isnt something ordinary people can match.

The crowd was awestruck, their admiration for Aspen growing.

However, she remained unimpressed.

In her mind, this was only a warm up.

Cut this one next, Aspeh instructed, pointing to another stone.

And those three over there -open them all

One after another, she directed the cutting of three additional stones, each with a price tag totaling over a million dollars

The audacity of her moves left the spectators in stunned silence.

Suddenly, all the attention in the plaza turned to Aspen.

People flocked to her side, their excitement palpable

What a bold play! She doesnt hold back, someone murmured, awe clear in their voice.

Most stone gamblers would spend hours examining a single stone, analyzing it from every angle.

But Aspen ? She seemed to pick stones on a whim as if she barely cared.

Shes just showing off, scoffed a young man from the crowd.

I bet those next three stones wont amount to anything.

If she strikes it big again, III kneel and drink the water she washes her feet with! The cutter glanced at Aspen, recognizing her as a serious player

He knew he could not afford to make any mistakes.

People like her could easily attract the attention of someone as powerful as Silas, the head of Radiant Group

Watching the scene unfold, Christina could not help but feel anxious.

Aspen, I dont really understand stone gambling, but isnt cutting three stones at once a bit too risky? Aspen laughed lightly, brushing off the concern.

Relax, Christie

Trust me I have the skill and the eye for this.

Cutting three stones is nothing

Aspen nodded subtly to herself.

every This was exactly what she wanted an audience to witness Andrews impending humiliation.

She was determined to crush his earlier success and make sure no one remembered his name.

The cutter worked diligently, and soon, the second stone was revealed.

Gasps erupted again.

Its the white opal with a pearlescent sheen! Shes hit the jackpot again! Lets see whats inside the third

one.

Aspen gave a faint smile, her voice calm and commanding.

Theres no need to worry.

Her casual confidence left the crowd reeling
