Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 230

The craftsman's declaration marked a dramatic twist. His specific mention of "jade" rather than "green" had a deeper meaning. Usually, the discovery of jade is celebrated as finding something "green", but his choice of words indicated a significant difference.

Quickly and carefully, the craftsman polished the stone, revealing the gradually emerging red. The crowd gasped in astonishment, "Blood jade! That's blood jade!"

The revelation stirred excitement among the onlookers, leaving Helen in disbelief.

"This… How is this possible? It's blood jade, second only in value to imperial green!" an onlooker exclaimed.

Someone else nodded. "Mr. Newton is incredibly lucky to have found blood jade. It's extremely rare. If crafted into jewelry, it would be priceless."

"Congratulations, Mr. Newton! Would you consider selling this piece to me?" another person asked.

Suddenly, someone else spoke up and said, "Mr. Newton, I'm interested too. How about selling it to me?"

The crowd's attitude shifted quickly, catching Helen off guard. Meanwhile, Thomas approached with a beaming smile. "Congratulations, Mr. Newton! You've found blood jade."

Chandler responded with a grin. "Thank you, Mr. Cadman."

Thomas continued, "Honestly, I've had this piece for half a year as a part of my inventory. Many inquired about it, but the price deterred them. It seems your bold move paid off, Mr. Newton. Now that it's revealed as blood jade, you can't possibly regret your purchase."

Thomas spoke truthfully. 50 million was a conservative estimate considering the market value of blood jade and the size revealed by Chandler. If more were uncovered, its worth would skyrocket.

As they conversed, the craftsman exclaimed, "The entire piece is blood jade!"

Their mutual praise felt harmonious rather than awkward.

"Mr. Newton, do you plan to sell the blood jade?" Helen asked.

Chandler revealed, "Next month when the Newton Group celebrates its anniversary, I intend to feature it in our promotional campaign. It should make an excellent highlight."

Helen understood his strategy. "Mr. Newton, you're a savvy businessman indeed."

But Chandler had a personal motive. Upon seeing the blood jade, an idea formed in his mind, something he was eager to pursue.
