Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 75

Chapter 75

Eric released the thug, who immediately brought coffer to Ophelia and Eric. The two sat on the side, drinking coffee while watching Miles assess the stones.

At that moment, a hoarse voice came from the doorway. "Eden, the rough stones you ordered from my mine have arrived"

"Sorry, Hansen. All my money went into this batch of rough stones that could yield emeralds. Your mine is just a secondary source and can't meet my needs anymore. Eden sounded apologetic but his arrogance was still clear. Hansen's stone quality was not high, and his mine had never produced high-quality gemstones, making the risk of buying from him significant and thus very cheap.

Hansen Felton spoke in a humble tone. "But we agreed on this, and I even brought them over for you. It's only more than two hundred thousand dollars in total. Mr. Bernal, I still owe the mining fees. Could you be so kind?"

Hansen thought. The top-quality rough stones Eden bought had to be worth several million dollars. Taking out two hundred thousand dollars shouldn't be hard for him, right? Eden has been in this business for many years. How could he possibly be out of money?' Years ago, Hansen signed a one-sided agreement with Eden to treat his wife's illness. All rough stones from his mines had to be supplied at low prices to Carneo Charm.

Eden acted despicably, pressing down profits once and once again. His excuses this time were merely to reduce the prices, yet Hansen still owed others money.

Eden feigned difficulty, saying, "Our contract states that I have the right to refuse. Hansen, I can't do anything about it. The stones I've taken from you in the past two years have been hard to sell. Isn't that strange?"

"Mr. Bernal..." Hansen tried to plead further.

"Enough, don't say anymore. You should change careers. The quality of your stones is too low, so apart from me, who else would buy them?"

Ophelia looked at the heap of rough stones outside the door and then glanced at the few large stones in Eden's arms. "Mr. Bernal, how much are these rough stones?" Ophelia asked.

Eden found it hard to believe that there were fools willing to buy and said, "This is thirty thousand dollars, this one is forty thousand dollars, and this pile of smaller stones adds up to seventy thousand dollars, I suppose." In truth, he had only spent a few thousand dollars to buy these rough stones from Hansen.

"Hansen, I'll take those in your car as well," Ophelia said.
