Chapter 960 Met Someone at the Stone-gambling Event
Although Chantel had always been unreliable, she was famous for being generous her friends.
In addition, she had a high status in society as her parents were the founding fathers of the country, and on top of that, her nephew was the head of the richest company in Ascijan—Jordan Group.
So in the past few years, although she was divorced, her private life had always been very rich as she had been with several young male partners.
Hence, Chantel lived a happy life. Because Matteo did not allow her to intervene with the company's affair, she knew that her mother did not intend to give her a share of the company in the future, so she gave up the idea of having a child.
After all, if the child was born, the baby and Anderson would be in the same generation, but there would be a big difference in their status. This was something she could never accept.
Therefore, it would be better to not give birth to a baby than to be despised by others when born.
That being said, Chantel was very optimistic. She knew that although Anderson was always angry with her, he still appreciated her as his aunt.
If she could no longer take care of herself in the future, Anderson would definitely not leave her alone.
Therefore, she had nothing to worry about, and she would enjoy life when she could.
Such an attitude made her more generous, and those young men who were attracted by her identity and beauty became even more daring to pursue her.
Chantel and Micah circled around for a while, and as expected, she heard a lot of inside scoop that she was interested in.
Only then did she realize that the Stone-gambling Event this time was held by a big jade merchant abroad, and the mine was not in Ascijan, but in Ashax.
As she wanted to invest in the mines, she had sent someone to Ashax to find out more about several well-known mines there, but she had not heard about the recent mining of good-quality jade.
Therefore, Chantel wondered where did this group of people mined them.
As she was thinking about it, she heard a cry of surprise.
She walked over with Micah, only to see a group of people gathered around. After asking around, she found out that someone had bought a stone and cut it open on the spot, discovering a good jade.
Hearing that, she became curious, so she asked Micah to wait outside as she squeezed into the crowd to have a look.
After taking a look at it, her eyes lit up.
As expected, it was a good jade!
As she saw the person carrying the huge stone, only the corners of the rock had been cut apart, yet it was giving off a green luster. At a glance, one could tell that it was definitely an emerald green stone.
Everyone was very excited, and they were all guessing the size of the jade.
As the crowd clamored, there were all kinds of assumptions. However, according to her own experience, Chantel knew that the jade would be a big piece, and it should have the size of four fists put together.
For such a big piece of jade, how much would it worth?
Later, when she learned that the person had only spent a little over two million dollars to buy this piece of jade, she felt envious.
In a hurry, she stepped out of the crowd, wanting to ask who was in charge here. Suddenly, she was hit by someone.
Chantel stumbled, as she yelled subconsciously, "Who is it? Do you have eyes?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Following that, she heard a soft female voice. When she looked up, she was stunned for moment.
Standing in front of her was a middle-aged woman who was about the same age as her, with a gentle temperament and stunning facial features.
The woman was wearing a light-colored dress. Her hair was tied up high, revealing her long, slender, and beautiful neck. Obviously, she was a middle-aged woman, but there was an indescribable charm about her that could only be found on young girls.
Right away, her face darkened.
Beautiful women happened to always dislike other women who were beautiful as well, especially when they were prettier than themselves.
This was the so-called same gender repelled.
Then, Chantel put on a long face. "Didn't you see me here? Randomly bumping into me, will you be responsible if I am injured?"
Upon hearing that, the woman smiled apologetically. "I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry to look for someone, so I was not paying attention. How about this? If you are hurt, I can pay for your medical expenses, or shall I take you to the hospital for a check-up?"
Immediately, Chantel became even angrier.
"Who said you need to pay? Are you looking down on me? Are you suggesting that I am scamming your money? You dare to talk to me like that? DO you know who am I?"
The sharp voice attracted people who were watching the stone-cutting process, which they eventually turned to look at them.
The woman looked a little embarrassed as if she had been startled by the situation. She was at a loss for what to do.
At this time, a man in a casual suit hurried over.
"Sierra!"
The woman who was originally flustered immediately walked over as if she had found her savior.
"Robert."
"What's going on?"
The man who was called Robert Lane held her hand, frowning as he glanced at Chantel.
Sierra shook her head, a look of guilt appeared on her face. "I'm sorry Robert. I seem to have caused you trouble again. I..."
Chantel interrupted her.
"Hey! So, this is your man? Not only you didn't apologize when you ran into me, you are even acting arrogant? What's the matter? Now, you have your man to stand up for you?"
Her words made Sierra even more embarrassed.
She wanted to explain herself, but under Chantel's pressure, she didn't managed to say a word in the end.
Judging from the conversation, Robert had already analyzed the situation.
Pulling Sierra behind him, he looked at Chantel with a long face.
"I'm sorry, lady. It was my wife who bumped into you by accident. I apologize to you on behalf of her. But this is not an excuse for you to insult her casually, isn't it?"
The thing Chantel hated the most in life was when someone talked back to her.
Usually, in the Jordan family, it was because she knew that she had no right to speak, so she always humbled herself in the family.
But apart from her family, everyone would respectfully address her as Miss Jordan when they saw her.
At this moment, as Robert was talking to her in such a tone, Chantel immediately burst into anger.
"Me? Insulting her? What's wrong with me humiliating her? If she didn't run into me in the first place, will I say something like that to her? What's the matter? You are the one who hit me, but still acted like you are all righteous?"
Her unreasonable attitude made Robert frown deeper, and a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
As more people were attracted to the scene, Sierra looked embarrassed as she tugged at his sleeve.
"Robert, forget it."
Robert knew that she was afraid of the crowd, so he held her in his arms and said in a low voice, "Miss, my wife is so kind and understanding that she doesn't want to argue with you anymore. Since you said that she hit you, it's fine. Just tell me what you want. There's no need to create a fuss here."
Seeing that the other party had admitted defeat, Chantel snorted proudly.
"Nothing much. Ask her to apologize to me three times in front of everyone."
When Sierra heard this, she quickly apologized three times in a low voice.
Robert's face instantly turned ghastly. He was not angry with Sierra's apology, instead, he was angry with Chantel, who wasn't going to put the matter to rest, and being too arrogant.
Then, he looked at Chantel coldly, "Okay, Now that we said sorry, can we go now?"
