Soon, the stone was cut into half.
But everyone was stunned when the cross-section was revealed.
Only a thin layer of green was found on the surface, and the rest was all greyish.
In other words, this stone was just a piece of scrap.
Nancy Hinton’s face immediately turned pale.
How... how could this happen?
This stone is of top quality. How... how can it turn out to be a scrap?
Unwilling to give up, she urged, “Please continue to cut. Maybe the green is hidden on both sides.”
Everyone’s eyes widened after listening to what she said, and they stared at the stone carefully.
If the green were hidden on both sides, Nancy Hinton could still sell it for some money.

Nancy Hinton felt her heart skipped a beat. Win or bust. God. Please do me a favor.
Soon, the stone was divided into four parts.
But still, the cross-sections only had a thin layer of green on the outer layer, and the inside was all greyish.
The audience sighed. This stone is really just a scrap!
Many were disappointed, and some gloated as well.
Eighty million for a piece of scrap? At least Zeke Williams only spend a million for his piece of scrap...
Bang!
Nancy Hinton felt her limbs went floppy, and she slumped back on the chair.
It’s over... I’m doomed!
Eighty million... It’s gone in the blink of an eye.
I can’t even sell that thin green layer for three million!
At that moment, she felt as if her life was over.
Lacey quickly held her hand, “Nancy, are you ok?”
Nancy sobbed, “Lacey. It’s over... and I’m doomed! My family will certainly kick me out if they know I wasted eighty
million on a piece of scrap.”
“No, they won’t!” Lacey tried to comfort her.
“Well, there are risks in bidding. You’re just out of luck. I’m sure they will understand that.”
Tears streamed down from Nancy’s face. She could not hold back her tears anymore. “No, they won’t understand.
You know how Michael had always wanted to kick me out. Now that I’ve made such a big mistake, he will surely use
it against me”
Nancy was in despair, and for a moment, Lacey did not know how to cheer her up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHannah Lawson glanced at Zeke Williams, “How did you know that? How did you know it is just a piece of scrap
under that gorgeous outer layer? Zeke, are you an expert in this field? Tell us, when did you find out?”
With this remark, everyone stared at Zeke Williams again.
Well, it turns out what he said is true. Is he really an expert?
“Of course, I’m an expert.” Zeke Williams nodded.
“I’ve told Nancy just now, but she refused to listen to me. There’s nothing I could do, right?”
“But why didn’t I know it before? When did you learn it?” Lacey asked.
Zeke Williams replied, “From books. I’ve told you before.”
“From books? If those authors are experts, they would have made a fortune for themselves. Who would they
bother writing those books?”
“I think you just got lucky.”
Everyone couldn’t help laughing at what Lacey said.
Lacey is right. This guy just makes his guesses by pure luck.
If he were an expert, he would have made a fortune for himself already. Why would he take a job with a monthly
salary of seventy-five hundreds only?
