Hailey sobbed sorrowfully.
Oliver handed over a tissue to Hailey and she took it to wipe away her tears. With swollen, red eyes, she asked him, “Tell me! What did I do to offend Samuel, Tiffany, and Ariana? Why did they lie to me and trick me?”
Oliver sighed and replied after a while. “Who knows? People’s hearts are hard to read. I need money to save my father, who’s in the hospital. I went to borrow money from relatives. My aunt said she would give me some pin money, another uncle gave me 100 dollars, and my youngest uncle… forget borrowing money from him. He hasn’t even returned the 2,000 dollars he borrowed from us!”
“You need money? I…”
The thought that came to Hailey’s mind was to write him a check right away, but in an instant, she remembered the lessons Samuel, Tiffany, and Ariana had given her. Her thought was dismissed immediately.
After pondering for a while, she asked, “Oliver, have you heard of stone gambling?”
Oliver nodded knowingly. “Of course. It’s the art of gambling on raw jadeite, isn’t it? Even with the so-called experience, skill, and keen eye, they only offer a mere 15% certainty. A correct bet can lead to overnight riches, while a wrong one can send you back to square one.”
Hailey turned her head and looked at him. “You seem to know quite a bit. Why haven’t I seen you try it before? Were you hiding your skills? Besides, I think you have good eyes for identifying luxury goods. How about stone gambling?”
After thinking for a moment, Oliver replied, “It’s hard to say. I have to see it to know. Maybe I do know a little.”
Hailey immediately pointed to the intersection. “Well, since you’re in urgent need of money, I’m going to offer you an opportunity to carn some. Willie Cox, the largest jade ware merchant in Jeahron, has just returned with a shipment of raw jadeite from Radford. He invited me over, which is why I set out so early this morning. Originally, I had planned to bring Samuel along, but now I’m giving you a chance. It’s your moment to prove yourself and maximize your earnings. I’ll take care of the bidding expenses, and we’ll split the profits equally. What do you say?”
Oliver agreed without any hesitation. “Okay, Ms. Fox. Thank you very much!”
Hailey replied calmly, “Don’t thank me just yet. Whether you can make money or not is still uncertain.”
