?Chapter 1084:


    “Let’s open it.” Nate’s cold voice sliced through the stillness, and the crowd collectively exhaled.


    He stood up, pulled aside the curtain, and walked out of the room. With one hand in his pocket and the other resting casually on the wooden railing, he exuded a calm and unhurried demeanor. His presence wasmanding. Even without saying a word, an air of authority surrounded him, drawing everyone’s attention.


    As the cutter made the first incision, the stone began to reveal its striking beauty.


    “Look! It’s bright green!”


    The shout caused everyone’s gaze to shift immediately to the stone. People crowded forward, eager to catch a glimpse of the vibrant green emerging from the cut.


    “If it’s all green, it could be worth the price!”


    “Hold your horses. This is just the first cut. The second will reveal the real deal.”


    “True, the first cut might look good, but the second one could reveal nothing.”


    The whispers continued, but Nate paid no mind. He simply said, “Go on.”


    The cutter nodded and carefully made the second cut. Everyone held their breath, watching closely.


    The room fell deathly quiet under the light.


    The outeryer of the stone was a bright green, thin yet clear. Inside, there was jadeite of ss-like quality—pure, wless, with snowke patterns. What amazed everyone the most was the wless purple hue. It was a true violet, the rarest and most coveted color in jadeite.


    Among the crowd, a gem expert’s face shifted, his eyes flickering with shock as he asked in a strained voice, “Could this be the legendary Rosy Dawn Crystal?”


    Pure violet stone was both rare and highly sought after. The Rosy Dawn Crystal was the finest violet jadeite, transparent like ice, with green floral patterns, making it the most treasured of all purple jadeites.


    g???????ν??????.k??n – ???????? ??????????


    Someone in the crowd, brimming with excitement, grabbed their neighbor, face flushed. “Hurry, call the appraiser!”


    It was the Rosy Dawn Crystal! It was priceless, a rare treasure.


    When the appraiser confirmed it, the room exploded with excitement. Those who had been half-asleep were suddenly wide awake, buzzing with energy. Some regretted not cing a bid, even if it meant going bankrupt.


    “Nate, your fiancée gets more intriguing every day,” Herbert suddenly remarked, appearing in Nate’s private room. With a cigarette in hand, Herbert observed the crowd below. Unlike the others, Nate remained unfazed.


    It was as if none of this mattered to him. Whether he lost six million or sixty million, Nate wouldn’t have flinched. Now, with a tenfold profit, his calm demeanor only added to his mystery.


    For Nate, it wasn’t about the stone’s value. What mattered was that Corrine was interested in it.


    Noticing Nate’s focused gaze on Corrine, Herbert spoke up. “You didn’t know she had this kind of skill, did you?”
