Rewrite her thrilling life Novel

The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 97 Summary In the auction hall downstairs, raw jade stones were being presented one after another, and Lilian realized they were at a jade stone gambling auction. As the auction began, a half-gambled raw stone was shown, revealing a patch of rich green jade inside. Lilian used her special ability to see inside the stone and judged that only a quarter of it was usable jade, making it not worth over a hundred million. Despite this, the stone sold for two hundred million to a jewelry merchant, highlighting the risky nature of the business.

Sebastian noticed Lilian's interest and asked if anything caught her eye, but she admitted she was not an expert and relied more on instinct than technical knowledge. Sebastian encouraged her to speak up if she liked anything, emphasizing that they were there to have fun regardless of the outcome. The men around them teased Sebastian about his sweet words, while Noreen's expression darkened with jealousy as she watched Lilian gain attention instead of herself.

Trying to regain favor, Noreen offered to help Lilian, boasting about her own knowledge of jade auctions and the detailed criteria for evaluating jade stones. Her expertise impressed the others, and she confidently criticized the eighth stone on stage, earning praise. However, Lilian remained unimpressed by theory alone and expressed her liking for that stone, relying on her unique x-ray vision ability instead. Noreen's smile turned subtly sour at Lilian's boldness, but Lilian turned to Sebastian and playfully asked him to buy the stone for her.

Sebastian, charmed by her rare playful behavior, gave her a black card with unlimited funds and told her to have fun. Lilian's mischievous gratitude, including a spontaneous kiss on Sebastian's cheek, left everyone stunned, especially Noreen, who could not hide her pain and jealousy as she witnessed the affection exchanged between Lilian and Sebastian.

" Emerald stones , " she continued , slipping into lecture mode , " are categorized by surface types - like yellow salt skin , white salt skin , and black sand skin . Each has distinct surface characteristics . You assess them by grain size , color , cracks , moss patterns , and so on .

She glanced at Lilian with increasing disdain . Then she looked at the screen as the eighth stone was brought onstage .

" Her explanation earned immediate praise . " Whoa , Noreen , didn't know you had this in you . " " Yeah , talk about a hidden talent .

That's practically expert - level stuff . " Blushing modestly , Noreen said , " Stop it . It's only because I've been to so many of these events with you guys .
