Chapter 234 Making Isabella Deeply Regretful
Royce also stood at the shop entrance, looking at them with disdain. "Do you know how rare this batch of materials is? Let me tell you, there are tons of people who want to buy this batch from me. If you don't want it, just leave! Don't get in the way of my business!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several distinguished-looking Veridian people walked over.
The man in front had the air of a big boss.
He swaggered toward Royce. "Royce, is that batch of rough stones I wanted still available?"
This must be Orion, the local Veridian boss who had already made a deal with Royce.
Royce quickly ushered Orion into the shop. "Of course I saved them for you. Come with me, I'll take you to see them right away."
The two went straight upstairs.
Seeing this, Alfonso immediately panicked. "Casey, what do we do now? If Royce sells the rough stones to that boss, we'll lose our chance!"
Casey was anxious too.
He had no choice but to take out his phone and call Isabella.
When the call connected, he spoke furiously: "You bitch, what the hell are you trying to do? It's all because of you that Royce won't sell us the rough stones now!"
He was really going to be driven mad by Isabella.
Such a great batch of rough stones—if they bought them, Celestial Jewels would definitely make a fortune this time!
Look what she had done!
She had shut the door on wealth that was right within reach! She was an idiot!
He was really unwilling to accept this. He had finally managed to find out that Royce had such a uniquely excellent batch of rough stones. If they could extract gems from them, his reputation in the gem appraisal world would rise to the next level! He would become a celebrity in the gem appraisal world and a hero at Celestial Jewels! Maybe Chase would even give him some shares in Celestial Jewels!
But now everything was ruined!
All ruined by Isabella!
Isabella was at another shop picking rough stones when she received the call.
Hearing Casey's furious voice, she sneered and said casually, "If he won't sell, then he won't sell. In my opinion, that batch of rough stones definitely won't yield anything good."
Hearing Isabella's naive words, Casey's face darkened. "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! A bunch of people are fighting over this batch of rough stones. This is uniquely good stuff, it's definitely going to produce top-quality gems!"
He was really too lazy to waste words with someone as clueless as Isabella. He commanded coldly, "Have finance transfer the money right away. I'm telling you, if you let someone else snatch up this batch of rough stones, it will be Celestial Jewels' loss!"
Isabella also said coldly, "This batch of rough stones is a money-losing deal. I absolutely won't buy it."
"Are you buying it or not?!" Casey asked again.
"Not buying."
Casey's face looked terrible. "I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You're definitely going to regret this!"
After saying this, he angrily hung up the phone.
——
After hanging up on Isabella, Casey's face was tense.
He was really going to be driven mad by Isabella.
"Casey, what did Ms. Taylor say?" Alfonso asked.
Casey gritted his teeth, his expression sharp. "Forget about her!"
He made a decision. "I'm buying this batch of rough stones myself!"
Alfonso was shocked. "What? Casey, you're planning to buy this batch of rough stones yourself?"
Casey narrowed his eyes, looking toward the Solmir Exchange shop, and sneered. "Do you know how many people want this batch? If it weren't for my connections, Royce wouldn't even show them to us. Such a great opportunity, and she doesn't know how to treasure it!"
"If she doesn't want it, fine. Anyway, I can't just watch these rough stones get bought by someone else!"
When he extracted top-quality gems, he'd make Isabella regret it and see what a great opportunity she missed!
Before coming to Celestial Jewels, Casey had often worked in various gem markets.
By appraising gems, he had indeed made quite a bit of money.
He knew it wasn't just luck—he was smart, knew how to find opportunities and seize them, which was why he succeeded.
Just like this batch of rough stones—he knew they would definitely produce good gems! So he definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Thinking about Isabella's attitude just now, Casey couldn't wait to slap her in the face.
His remaining savings were just enough to buy this batch of rough stones.
Casey strode into Solmir Exchange.
Royce didn't expect Casey would still have the nerve to come back. He immediately snorted coldly. "Casey, why are you haunting me? Can't you see someone is already planning to buy this batch of rough stones? I advise you not to interfere with my business."
Before he could finish, Casey directly pulled out a check and handed it over. "Royce, I'm buying this batch."
Royce looked at the check Casey handed over and was stunned for a moment.
Just then, Alfonso rushed in. He looked at Casey nervously. "Casey, don't be impulsive!"
He really hadn't expected Casey would decide to buy this batch of rough stones himself.
This wasn't a small amount—it was twenty million dollars.
Twenty million dollars might not be much to Celestial Jewels, but for an ordinary person, it could mean bankruptcy!
Casey sneered, very confident. "Don't worry, this batch of rough stones won't lose money."
Just then, Orion spoke up: "When buying things, there should be a first-come-first-served rule. I was already about to sign the contract with Royce. What's the meaning of this?"
"But the contract hasn't been signed yet, has it?" Casey gave him a cold glance, then said to Royce, "He's offering twenty million dollars. I'm offering twenty-one million."
Hearing this, Orion's face immediately turned ugly. He also said, "Royce, I'll offer twenty-two million dollars!"
"Twenty-three million dollars!" Casey said.
"Twenty-four million dollars!" Orion said.
"Twenty-five million dollars!" Casey said.
Orion glared at Casey. "Are you crazy?"
Orion huffily turned and left.
Casey's offer was particularly generous. Royce changed his previous attitude and said with a smile, "Casey, you really know quality goods."
He happily took the check, wrote up the contract for Casey, and had the shop assistant bring out the rough stones.
"Casey, these rough stones are yours now."
Casey looked at these rough stones and finally felt a sense of relief, his heart finally at ease.
Alfonso hadn't expected things would develop this way. They had come to purchase rough stones for the company, but unexpectedly Casey bought them himself.
He walked over. "Casey, how do we explain this to the company? Our task this time was to purchase rough stones for the company, but now we haven't completed the company's task."
Hearing this, Casey sneered dismissively. "How to explain to the company is none of our business. It was Isabella who stubbornly ruined everything. What does it have to do with us? When the chairman asks about it, it's all Isabella's fault!"
He wanted to see—since Isabella wouldn't listen to him, how she planned to answer to the chairman later.
If Isabella couldn't buy good rough stones herself, the chairman and the other senior leaders at the company would definitely punish her!
