Chapter 970 Strike a Deal
Chantel was also stunned for a moment. Then, she carefully looked at Clarissa. Through Clarissa's serious expression, she could roughly tell that something was wrong.
Therefore, she waved her hand and asked the beauticians to leave.
After that, she put on a smiling face and asked, "What's the matter, Clarissa?"
Being asked, Clarissa took the jade pendant out from her bag and looked at her with a stern expression. "Aunt Chantel, where did you get this jade pendant?"
Chantel was shocked. Staring at the jade pendant, she felt guilty.
With that, her eyes flashed. "Oh... I bought it from the jewelry department, of course. But why are you holding it? I gave this to Anne."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab the jade pendant, but Clarissa nimbly avoided it.
Clarissa didn't want to waste much time on Chantel, so she went straight to the point.
"Which jewelry department? Take me there."
Upon hearing that, Chantel came to a realization, and her face instantly darkened.
Irked, she glared at Clarissa.
"Are you suspecting me? Why would you care where did I buy this pendant? Besides, I gave this to Anne. Even if you're her mother, you shouldn't take her things just like that. That's a bad habit."
Listening to what she said, Clarissa pressed her lips together and looked at her silently.
Chantel continued, "Seeing you rushing here, I thought that something serious happened. Who would expect you to come here just for a jade pendant? If you like jade pendants, you can buy one yourself. Why do you ask me? I am not responsible for inquiring about these things for you."
After she finished complaining, Clarissa replied in a low voice, "This belongs to my mother."
At once, Chantel's heart missed a beat.
In disbelief, she turned around and looked at Clarissa.
Clarissa was afraid that Chantel didn't hear it clearly just now, so she repeated it.
"This belongs to my mother. The symbol engraved on the pendant is the initial of my mother's name. Besides, only her personal belongings have this symbol. So, could you please tell me where did you get this? Even if you bought it, please tell me where did you buy it. Is that okay?"
Hearing that, Chantel finally regained her senses, and her face changed. Then, she scoffed.
"No... no way. Isn't she dead for many years?"
As she spoke, she became more and more guilty.
Just then, a thought flashed through her mind, and she went ashen.
On the other hand, Clarissa was looking at her in silence.
In the end, Chantel couldn't stand Clarissa's piercing gaze anymore, so she waved her hand and admitted impatiently, "Fine. I didn't buy this jade pendant. I picked it."
Clarissa furrowed her brows. "You picked it? Where?"
Feeling unpleasant, Chantel twitched her mouth. "In the Stone-gambling Event Hall. Well, it didn't occur to me that a random jade pendant I found would be your mother's thing. How unlucky."
Then, she rolled her eyes.
However, Clarissa keenly caught the keywords in her words.
"Stone-gambling Event Hall? Which one?"
"That is..."
Suddenly, Chantel paused. Then, she remembered something, and her eyes glimmered.
Feeling excited, she rubbed her hands and said, "Clarissa, let's discuss something."
While putting the jade pendant away, Clarissa replied in a straight face, "Go ahead."
"Remember that I told you about investing in the jade mine? In fact, I found this jade pendant while I was visiting the Stone-gambling Event held by Mr. Jenkins that I wanted to cooperate with. Why don't you accompany me there to deal with him? In return, I will show you the place I picked up the jade pendant."
Finally, Clarissa understood that Chantel was afraid that she refused to lend her money, so Chantel wanted to take this opportunity to make a deal.
Thinking about that, Clarissa laughed because she and Anderson had told Chantel that they were willing to support her.
Therefore, she did not refuse. "Okay, but I have one condition."
Chantel was stunned. "What condition?"
"I can accompany you to meet Mr. Jenkins. However, if the mine is indeed worth investing in after inspection, we will be investing in it instead of lending you money to invest. But of course, you can invest some of your own money if you want. Let's make a fair deal, alright?"
Upon hearing that, Chantel was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Clarissa would say such words.
With that, her face changed, and she went ballistic.
"Clarissa! Are you and Anderson short of money? How can you do this to me?!"
Clarissa stood up.
"Aunt Chantel, 1.5 billion dollars is huge. Are you sure that you can manage such a big investment alone?"
Upon hearing her words, Chantel was flustered, but in the end, she gave in.
"Lend me another 100 million then. I will invest 500 million, and you two will invest one billion."
Without hesitation, Clarissa agreed, "Okay, deal!"
After that, she stared at her watch.
"When will you finish your beauty treatment?"
Annoyed, Chantel tore off the mask on her face.
"You've ruined my mood, so I'm not doing it anymore. I'll take you to Mr. Jenkins instead, happy?"
"Thanks, Aunt Chanel," Clarissa's lips curled into a smile.
After Chantel changed her clothes and packed up, they went out together.
Seeing that Chantel came out with Clarissa and had changed, those beauticians who had been waiting outside were shocked.
"Miss Jordan, are you leaving? Is it because you are not satisfied with our services?"
Feeling helpless, Chantel rolled her eyes.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but I have something to deal with. I'll make the payment and come back next time."
As she spoke, she reluctantly followed Clarissa out of the room.
Once they got in the car, Chantel gave Clarissa the address, and they directly headed to the Stone-gambling Event Hall.
Meanwhile, in the Stone-gambling Event Hall, the event was still going on.
After Sierra and Robert discussed with Mr. Jenkins, they went back to the back of the manor. Mr. Jenkins need to oversee his business, so he stayed back.
At this time, someone just cut a good jade, and everyone was crowding in front of the stone-cutting machine.
Mr. Jenkins was a slick person. Even though he was staring at the stone-cutting machine, he had been paying attention to the entrance from the corner of his eyes.
Because if any big clients arrived, he would have to serve them promptly.
Just then, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
At first, he was surprised, and then, he smiled.
