It was the gems trading center's mechanism to protect its customers.

Under the protection, Lewis had thought Harriet would be safe.

But now that Harriet had revealed top-grade emerald, the situation was different.

Such top-grade emerald might compel some to become enemies of the gems trading center just to take it from Harriet's hands.

Lewis's expression immediately tensed as he stepped towards the stone cutter lying on the ground.

He was about to confirm for the third time that the stone cutter wouldn't leak this news when he heard Harriet say, "Is this green jewel very precious?"

Harriet tilted her head, her face full of confusion as she looked at the rough stone on the table that had just been cut, which was now faintly revealing the emerald inside.

Lewis, who had been tense, nearly dropped his jaw in shock upon hearing Harriet's words.

He had been wondering how Harriet could have revealed such fine jewel without any reaction and even stand quietly aside.

He had thought she was being unflappable.

But it turned out she didn't recognize this piece of top-grade green jewel at all!

"Miss Harriet, please let me introduce..."

Lewis was about to introduce this piece of emerald to Harriet, but she raised her hand to stop him.

She wasn't unfamiliar with the jewel in front of her.

She knew from the moment she got hold of this stone that the green jewel inside was pricey.

But after all, it was just a stone.

The stone cutter had fainted at the first cut, and Lewis had fallen over upon entering and seeing the jewel.

Was it really that precious?

Anyway, since this Harriet was extremely precious, then...

A sly glint passed through Harriet's eyes, her lips curling slightly.

Underneath her veiled look towards Delbert, there seemed to be an unfathomable expression hidden.

Not long after, the stone cutter who had been shocked to the ground calmed down for a moment and finally stood up to continue cutting the rough stone.

After the entire piece of emerald was cut out, Lewis carefully packaged it before letting Harriet and Delbert leave with peace of mind.

"Miss Harriet, have a good journey."

Lewis even considered having bodyguards from the gems trading center accompany Harriet to ensure her safety all the way.

But since nobody knew about Harriet's possession of emerald and considering the rules of the gems trading center as well as Harriet's public identity as the treasured sister of the Bass family brothers, it seemed unlikely anyone would rob her.

So he decided not to arrange for bodyguards to follow Harriet.

The crowd that had just witnessed Harriet reveal more than a dozen pieces of exquisite jewel still had shocked expressions on their faces.

They looked at the bags of stones carried by Delbert beside Harriet with almost drooling anticipation.

They wondered how fine a jewel Harriet could reveal next time she came to sell at the gems trading center?

Even if it couldn't compare to what she had opened this time, it surely wouldn't be far off.

It seemed that next time, they would need to prepare quite a bit of money in advance!

Harriet walked side by side with Delbert to the underground parking garage.

Delbert's hands were still carrying various bags, all filled with the jewel Harriet had just revealed.
