Female Novel
Chapter 647
Helen nodded. "I agreed. I'd rather not put Frank on the spot."
With that, the two girlbosses of Riverton shared the factory Frank repurposed from the Salazars.
Further details were up to those two—it would not be Frank's business either way. -
At noon, Randall Young was sitting in his jewelry store at Riverton's Square Street, holding up anovelbin
magnifying glass as he studied a bright ruby.
After a long while, he breathed a long sigh and put away the magnifying glass.
Then, looking up at the girl standing opposite him, he cleared his throat. "Well, the luster and form rank
it among the best of the best—it's a ruby fit for Talnam royalty. So, would you mind telling me where
you got it from?"
Naturally, Cindy was the one standing opposite Randall.
She brought him the ruby that Fenton delivered, though she shook her head in hesitation. "It's a gift. I
can't say."
"You can't say..." Randall breathed a long sigh and shook his head. "Ma'am, I'm actually afraid to buy
this from you because it's too valuable."
Pausing for a moment in thought, he then said, "No, that's not all. You must understand that this
belonged to Talnam royalty! There would be a diplomatic crisis between Draconia and Talnam if they
were to find out that some commoner got their hands on this!"
Cindy was actually terrified by what Randall said. She certainly did not think that the ruby from Frank's
father belonged to royalty and could cause a diplomatic crisis!
However, she did not give up and pressed, "But are you really passing up on this, Mr. Young?"
"Well." Randall hesitated for a moment, and sighed as he raised five fingers. "I can take it for 500
million dollars. That's twenty percent of its full value, but it's all I can pay you because I can't sell it
anywhere other than on the black market. You have to understand."
"500 million?!" Cindy's eyes could pop out, and she almost choked even as she stared at the ruby she
was holding.
And 500 million was just twenty percent of its full value. She had really hit the jackpot!
That was when Cindy's phone started ringing, and she quickly put the ruby in her bag before
scrambling to answer it.
Hello, Cindy? How did the appraisal go? Is the ruby real?" Gina asked from the other end.
"O-Of course..."
Cindy stopped himself as greed overcame her.
After all, there was 500 million dollars at stake!
