Adelaide smiled and said, “It’s just a few pink diamonds. I could gift them all to you. What’s there to be angry about? But these diamonds are quite valuable. If they fall into someone else’s hands, wouldn’t that give her a bargain? We can’t let her have that advantage.”

Priscilla clapped her hands and said excitedly, “Great! I’ve won! I’ll go with you to Madison’s house right now to get back the pink diamonds and make her lose three hundred thousand dollars! I spent a lot of money on that jewelry store investment before and haven’t made a penny. Now, getting three hundred thousand US dollars back from them is just making up for what I gave them last time.”

“Jewelry store?” Adelaide inquired meaningfully. “The jewelry store you opened with Madison?”

“Of course! A gold jewelry store that’s been open for several years. It’s never made a profit, and I have to keep subsidizing the inventory costs…”

Priscilla suddenly stopped, realizing that her words exposed her poor investment sense and were damaging to her pride.

She quickly changed her tune, “But in business, there are losses and profits. It’s normal. You wouldn’t understand. Starting a business is hard, and maintaining it is even harder. It will make a profit eventually.”

Adelaide smiled, her jaw clenching with frustration, yet she still responded mildly, “You’re right. In business, there are always gains and losses. Oh, by the way, is the jewelry store a fifty–fifty partnership between you and them? Have you signed a contract? Have you ever seen the books since it opened?”

Priscilla said proudly, “Of course we signed a contract. Do you take me for a fool? Actually, it’s not a 50-50 split. I hold a 70% stake. The ledgers are sent over quarterly, and I’ve checked them. We’ve indeed been in the red.”

“Oh? You have the majority stake? Then if there’s a loss, you have to subsidize more, don’t you? How much have you invested over the years? Have you kept track?” Priscilla asked.

“Of course I’ve kept track. Every expense is recorded,” Priscilla replied.

Adelaide thought to herself, “That’s good,” and said, “Have you remembered the total amount invested?”

Priscilla responded impatiently, “Who would memorize all the numbers? I can only chec roughly tens of millions of dollars.”
