Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 915

The gemstone auction was a standout event in Stagville, much like the vibrant food scenes found across every region.

In every city, there was a place brimming with allure and challenge, captivating numerous spectators who returned repeatedly.

While traditionally held on the outskirts, this year represented a departure from the norm. Through the organizers' connections, they decided to relocate this high-stakes event to downtown Stagville.

In these auctions, the stakes were not only in the stones themselves but also in their diverse attributes.

It was a game where fortunes could shift in an instant, entirely dependent on the participants' luck and judgment—much like the gamble of purchasing lottery tickets.

Every year, millions of lottery enthusiasts were drawn to Grand Cathay, highlighting the inherent popularity of gemstone auctions.

In recent years, many people have accumulated wealth through these auctions, inspiring others to risk their entire fortunes in pursuit of similar success.

As Helen and the others stepped out of their car, they inadvertently bumped into Faye.

However, today, Faye wasn't accompanied by her usual company subordinates but rather by a group of young women who seemed to come from wealthy and influential families.

Since Helen had overshadowed her yesterday, Faye had nursed a grudge. Now, with Helen unexpectedly at her doorstep, Faye saw a chance to settle the score definitively.

"Helen, what brings you here? Gemstone auctions are unlike anything else—they are intangible and unpredictable.

"Without a deep understanding, no amount of money can ensure success. It's not wise to gamble away your wealth just to prove a point against me," Faye mocked.

Helen chuckled softly. "Well, I have more money than I know what to do with. Spending some here might as well be charitable giving. Besides, this is such an electrifying event—I couldn't resist diving in."

"Electrifying? You could end up losing everything, for heaven's sake! Even if you're immensely wealthy, participating in this could lead to disaster," Faye countered.

Since leaving Aguilisco, Faye didn't hesitate to abandon any pretense of sisterly camaraderie.

With an air of superiority, she sarcastically remarked, "Considering your years in the countryside, I suppose it's no surprise you're unfamiliar with the intricacies of gemstone auctions. Ultimately, success in these auctions hinges on one critical factor—the gamble itself."

Helen shrugged nonchalantly. "What's all this fancy talk about? In the end, they're just ordinary stones, aren't they?"

"Yes, I was present at that auction as well. Despite her youthful appearance, she projected a commanding presence.

"Her actions were decisive and composed. Even during the evaluation, she maintained a sense of detachment. Her depth of vision and perspective is something I doubt I'll ever attain in my lifetime."

"But since then, the Chosen One has disappeared without a trace. Who knows if we'll ever have the opportunity to witness her expertise in deciphering stones again."

Upon hearing this, Helen's expression shifted to confusion.

Was it truly so easy to become the Chosen One? Didn't that mean anyone with a stroke of luck could achieve the same?

"I think you might have misunderstood," Helen replied awkwardly.

"Misunderstood? What do you mean?" the woman who had ridiculed her earlier retorted.

"It seems that the person you're referring to as the Chosen One may not fully understand the intricacies of gemstone auctions," Helen replied pointedly.
