Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475 

The gem auction event was a specialty of Landred City. Many places would have their own local street delicacy, and every city would have a place that was mysterious and challenging to go to. As such, those places would attract many tourists to visit and for Landred City–it was the gem auction event.

In Landred City, the gem auction event was one of the recommended places to visit. Previously, this once-a-year event would be held at a further place, but the organizer somehow managed to hold this event that had a gambling characteristic in the city center.

Stone gambling didn’t mean gambling on the stone itself, but the jade and jadeites inside the stone. Becoming rich or broke overnight depended solely on one’s luck and eye–it was similar to buying lottery tickets.

A hundred million citizens of Cittadel would buy lottery tickets, so stone gambling was also relatively adopted by many.

In recent years, there had been many cases where people became rich because of stone gambling. Because of that, more and more people were putting their fortune into the gem auction event with such determination,

When Elise and the others got out of the car, they bumped into Faye. However, she wasn’t a subordinate at the company today. In fact, she dressed like a young lady from a rich family.

After Elise took Faye’s spotlight yesterday, Faye held a grudge. Now that Elise came to her herself, Faye did not want to let go of the chance to humiliate her.

“Why are you here? Stone gambling isn’t like anything else. You can’t see it, nor can you touch it. If you’re not knowledgeable in this field, all your money can go down the drain. Don’t waste money just because you want to irritate me, Elise,” Faye said in a pretentious tone.

In response, Elise smiled before saying, “I don’t know where to spend my money anyway. I’ll think of it as doing charity. It’s such a fun event, so I can’t bear to miss it.”

“Fun? You can get bankrupt! Even if you have a lot of money, this event will definitely make you lose all you have sooner or later.” After leaving Athesea, Faye no longer cared about her sisterhood with Elise. With the tone of an elderly, she said sarcastically, “You’ve been staying in the countryside for so long, so it’s normal if you don’t understand stone gambling. Stone gambling, after all, is still a form of gambling.”

With a shrug, Elise said, “Aren’t these just stones in the end?”

To her, jades and any other precious stones were all similar–they were all just stones like the common ones on the road.

“Tsk, the ignorance.” Just as she finished saying that, the woman next to Faye sneered, “Uneducated people are just uneducated. How dare you reduce jades to nothing? Even Gods Chosen Girl won’t dare to say that.”

“God’s Chosen Girl?” Elise raised a brow.

“Countryside people are so troublesome. They need people to teach them everything. To not have beard of God’s Chosen Girl… Who let her in?” The woman didn’t hold back on criticizing her.

Hearing that, Elise showed a dark face. Did they expect her to remember all the famous people in all the fields? How tiring would that be?

Some onlookers were kind enough to explain, “Three years ago at a gem auction event in Dukethorn, a girl with a veil came out of nowhere. The stones that she bought all turned out to be imperial jade of good grade. That made her the center of attention, triumphing over the well known buyers. Hence, people in the field call her God’s Chosen Girl. God must be looking over her.”

“That’s right. I was there at the scene too. The woman looked young, but her aura doesn’t lack behind any men. Her actions were calm and precise. After cracking the stone, she seemed so indifferent. I’ll probably never attain that kind of knowledge and wisdom that she has.”

“However, the God’s Chosen Girl hadn’t shown up ever since then. I wonder if I will have the chance to watch her crack stones again in this life.”

After hearing what the person said, Elise showed an undigested expression.

Was that it?

Was it that easy to become God’s Chosen Girl?

With good luck, anyone could become God’s chosen child. Was that all?

“I think that you guys may have misunderstood,” Elise said in an awkward tone.

“What do you mean?” The woman who criticized her earlier side-eyed Elise.

“The God’s Chosen Girl that you were talking about… Maybe she didn’t understand the way of stone gambling either,” Elise said.

At once, Faye seemed speechless.

Finally, under everyone’s attention, Mr. Bailey slowly entered the venue.

He didn’t seem young; he looked like he was in his thirties or forties. His hair was side-parted like the typical successful man and he donned a tailor-fitted suit. Besides that, his cloak seemed to be made of real fur. However, he seemed to be a little weary. With his long legs, he casually strutted across the room filled with people.

Not only did he carry the dream of many young ladies, but he also soured critics of other men.

“This is the founder of Smith Co. He truly is distinguishable.”

“I heard that Kenneth Bailey is completely in charge of this gem auction event, hence why this event doesn’t have to be held at that countryside venue. That venue would be less pleasant no matter the food or stay.”

“Has anyone calculated how many properties Smith Co. owns in Landred City?”

“That’s uncountable. After the company settled down in Landred, the entire city’s economy improved so much that it was comparable to Cittadel. After a few years, Cittadel will become a different city!”

“Really?! That must be the pride of Landred City. No wonder all the women in the city want to marry Kenneth. If I was born a female, I would dream of that too! Haha…”

As Elise half-heartedly listened to that conversation, her gaze followed that man who had an executive figure.

Smith Co… It was Smith Co. again!

Since he sent people to get and gift the land for her, why did he act like he didn’t know her?

Or was he the kind of person who would show goorlwill to all new forces?
