Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 The cutter was beginning to regret his earlier actions because Andrew had proven to be far more formidable than expected , even outshining Aspen .

If only he had not been so absolute in his statements before .

What are you waiting for ? Dont you trust me ? Aspen snapped when she noticed her cutters hesitation .

The cutter flinched and quickly replied , Ill cut open Ms.

Stevens stone right away .

This time , Miss , youll definitely win .

Andrew chuckled .

Aspen , your judgment is clouded .

The Stevens family of Bridgefields isnt exactly rolling in money .

Being this wasteful isnt doing you any favors .

He gestured toward the largest raw stone in the center .

Aspen responded with a cold laugh .

Andrew , dont you understand that a raw stones size has nothing to do with whats inside ? You cant seriously think that just because this stone is huge , it must contain something valuable ? Several gambling experts nodded in agreement with Aspens statement .

The central stone , with its hard texture , mottled colors , and chaotic patterns , was clearly worthless 1 more than common rock .

Jing In contrast , Aspens stone , though modest in size , had a promising green tint with dark undertones and a softer texture , suggesting valuable contents inside .

The two cutters began cutting with their machines while the crowd held their breath .

The tension between Andrew and Aspen had clearly escalated .

If the Stevens familys golden girl lost this round , she would share Orions fate losing both money and reputation .
