Lily’s heart tightened, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
She suddenly remembered that this Gem Trading Center was the largest and oldest in Imperium.
Its owner was said to be of high rank.
In comparison, she was just the daughter of a fallen family. She couldn’t afford to offend the people in the trading center.
If the owner of the trading center was annoyed, only her family could save her.
But Liam had stopped caring about her.
Lily quickly explained, “That’s not what I mean. I mean, Harriet and that salesperson are colluding.
“This Gem Trading Center is the oldest and most reputable in Imperium. How could you possibly cheat with your customers?”
Lily thought she had explained perfectly, but Lewis became angrier.
He stared at Lily with coldness and disdain. “Here, every one of our employees has gone through strict screening, and each employee’s employment application is reviewed by our boss. “Since you’re not questioning our qualifications, are you questioning our boss’s judgment?”
Lewis turned to look at Harriet and spoke sincerely. “Ms. Munoz, please rest assured. We will not let any of our customers’ reputations be damaged. We will clear your name!”
Lily got even more anxious. She couldn’t possibly doubt the owner of this trading center.
She had made it so clear, but why was Lewis trying to escalate it?
He was making a fuss.
Presumably, he was also colluding with Harriet.
Otherwise, why would he speak up for her?
Harriet’s nonchalant look annoyed Lily, but she needed to explain herself first.
For now, she had to swallow her pride.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. “Ms. Munoz, are you selling this rare emerald? I’m willing to pay 500,000 dollars for it.”
The speaker was a sleek man in his early forties.
Lily raised her eyebrows, but she had no intention of selling it.
500,000 dollars was a lot for an ordinary emerald, but her emerald was not ordinary.
The emerald in her hand was translucent and pure.
500,000 dollars was not enough for such a top-grade emerald.
Presumably, the man made such a low offer because he saw her as a layman.
