Chapter 76 You Have a Sharp Tongue, Miss Sare

Instead of answering her, Alexander glanced at the rocks she was holding and said, “Let’s find a place to cut them open.”

And so, Elise followed him into a store, and when people heard that they wanted to cut their stones, many people in the store gathered around them. “You didn’t buy the stones from me, so there will be a charge for the labor fee. For every stone we cut, it will cost 1,000 USD,” the owner of the store said.

Rich people really know ways to spend money, Elise thought in sarcasm and asked, “Do you still want to cut the stones here, Mr. Griffith?”

The next second, Alexander took out his credit card and swiped it. Since this was how the situation had turned out, the only thing left for Elise to do was pass the stones in her hands to the craftsman. At the same time, the crowd in the store stared at the stones which were about to be cut open and moved in closer.

The craftsman studied the first stone, and he reckoned that it wouldn’t show any signs of jadeite judging from the pattern and the color of the stone, so he asked Elise, “How would you like to cut it?”

Before she could translate, Alexander interjected, “Start cutting from the left side and then cut it into half.”

After she conveyed his message, the craftsman brought the stone to the machine straight away. People in their line had very steady hands, and they were incredibly meticulous. Therefore, the cutting process was a little slow, and as everyone watched in anticipation, the first stone proved to be a waste.

Everyone sighed, and even Elise felt that it was a pity. Tens of thousands of dollars is gone just like that! she thought.

“Miss, are we going to continue cutting?” the craftsman asked, whereupon she turned to Alexander.

“Continue cutting the others!” she answered. Well, I don’t feel the pinch since it’s not my money, anyway!

Immediately, the craftsman cut another of Alexander’s stones, but after cutting three stones continuously, not a single shard of jadeite could be seen. The crowd were beginning to lose their interest, and amongst them, Elise sighed helplessly. On the other hand, Alexander peered at the last stone composedly and said, “There’s still one stone left. Cut it as well.”
