Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Fifty Million 

Hayley’s POV: 

Finished 

Benjamin glanced at it briefly and said, “The surface of this raw ore is dull and lacks luster. Plus, it’s placed in such an out–of–the–way spot. The chances of it containing emerald are extremely low, but raw ores like this usually aren’t too expensive. 

Hearing that, I instantly lost interest. “This is boring. I’ve seen so many raw ores already, I’m starting to go cross–eyed.” 

But Benjamin said, “When picking raw ores, you must stay patient and calm. You can’t be impulsive. If you really want to master rock betting, you have to learn to control your temperament.” 

I immediately nodded with a grin. “Yes, I understand.” 

At that moment, I felt a deep sense of admiration for his composure and insight as an alpha. 

This was something I. as a fellow alpha, needed to learn from him. 

We wandered for a while longer until Benjamin’s steps abruptly halted. His eyes locked onto a large chunk of ore. 

I quickly asked, “Is that raw ore the one you’re interested in?” 

Benjamin didn’t reply immediately. He approached it and studied it closely before saying. “This one looks promising.” 

As soon as he spoke, Hobert approached. “Alpha, you’ve got a sharp eye. This is one of the top–tier pieces in this entire batch of raw ores.” 

Benjamin arched an eyebrow. “Name your price.” 

Hobert’s grin grew even wider. “Alpha, are you thinking of buying it?” 

Benjamin let out a soft grunt of acknowledgment. “It’s a solid raw ore. If the price is right, I’ll take it 

Hobert’s eyes brightened, and he said, “It’s definitely a great choice, but it’s not cheap. If you’re genuinely interested, I can offer it to you at this price.” 

He raised five fingers toward Benjamin. 

With visible confusion on my face, I asked, “Five million?” 

Hobert chuckled and replied, “No, 50 million.” 

I was dumbfounded. 

Fifty million for a single raw ore? That’s insane! 

If it turns out to be worthless, the loss would be beyond devastating. 

“Are you really planning to buy it?” I asked, staring at Benjamin in shock.

you think?” 

His question left me a bit uncertain, but I trusted that Benjamin had his own plan in mind. 

So, I replied directly, “I’ll leave it up to you.”

Hearing my response, a faint but striking smile rugged at the corner of Benjamin’s lips. He said to Hobert, “I’ll take this raw ore.” 

Hobert’s face lit up with excitement. “Alpha, you truly have a sharp eye. This raw ore is a real gem. no way you’ll lose out on this one.” 

Benjamin pulled a black card from his pocket and handed it over. “I’ll take it.” 

There’s 

Hobert hurriedly instructed his assistant to process the payment. After that was done, he quickly asked, “Alpha, do you want this stone cut on–site?” 

“Yes. Bring your best stonecutter here,” Benjamin replied with unwavering authority- the decisiveness and presence of a true alpha. 

“Right away, Alpha,” Hobert responded, rushing off to make the arrangements. 

News of the purchase spread quickly throughout the estate. 

The other buyers, who had come here in search of raw ore, all gathered around Benjamin and eyed him with respect. 

Once Benjamin gave them permission, they crowded in to watch, hoping to catch some excitement.
