Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 125

Hearing that, Elise suddenly lost all interest. “Mr. Griffith, I’m getting dizzy from looking at so many
stones.” “You have to be calm when picking out stones, and never be impulsive. If you really want to
understand stone gambling, you’ll have to learn to keep your patience in check,” Alexander said.
Looking as though she understood what he said, Elise answered, “Alright, Mr. Griffith. I got it.” After
making another round, Alexander suddenly came to a stop, his eyes fixed on a very huge stone.



Seeing that, Elise asked anxiously, “Mr. Griffith, do you have your eyes on this stone?” Instead of
answering her, he walked closer and studied the stone carefully. “This stone is not bad.” Right after the
words left his lips, Jordan walked over. “You have sharp eyes, Mr. Griffith. This is the best stone from its
batch.” Raising his brow slightly, Alexander ordered, “Tell me the price.” The smile on Jordan’s face
widened. “Are you thinking of buying it, Mr. Griffith?”

“Yeah, it’s a good piece of stone. If the price is alright, I’ll buy it.” “It’s a good piece of stone, indeed, but
the price is on the high end. If you’re really sincere about buying it, I’ll sell it to you for this much,” he
said anxiously and opened up his palm to show Alexander the figure five. Confused, Elise asked, “5
million?” Jordan chuckled. “It’s 50 million.” Stunned, Elise thought, He’s asking for 50 million for a
regular stone? That’s way too much!

What if it turns out to be a useless stone after cutting? We will make a huge loss, then! “Mr. Griffith, you
really plan to buy it?” Instead of answering her, he turned to her and asked, “What do you think, Miss
Sare?” This question placed her in a tight spot, but she believed that Alexander must have his own
ideas.



Hence, she answered, “Mr. Griffith, any decision you make is fine.” An attractive grin spread across
Alexander’s face at her reply, and he said to Jordan, “I’m buying this stone.” Delighted, Jordan said,
“Mr. Griffith, you really have a keen eye. This is really a good piece of stone, and you won’t make a loss
with it for sure!” Taking out a black card from his pocket, Alexander said, “I’ll pay by card.” Hurriedly,
Jordan sent his employee to make the card payment and immediately asked, “Mr. Griffith, would you
like to have your stone cut right now?” “Yes. Get your best craftsman here to do it.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Griffith. I’ll make the arrangements for you right away,” Jordan replied. The news that
a stone was sold for 50 million created a huge uproar in an instant, and everyone was curious as to
who bought a stone for that price. After asking around and finding out that the person was Alexander,
they didn’t find it such a surprise anymore because everyone knew just how wealthy the Griffith Group
was. Despite that, they were still curious what sort of jadeite was inside this stone, which was worth 50
million.



Hence, when they knew that Alexander was planning to cut the stone on the spot, they all gathered
around and wanted to see for themselves. “Mr. Griffith, how would you like to cut this stone?” the
craftsman asked. Taking a look at the stone, Alexander replied, “Start from one third of its width.”

The craftsman nodded. “Okay. I’m going to start, then.” With the help of a few people, the stone was
placed on the cutter with all eyes focused on it. Meanwhile, Elise waited while holding her breath, her
fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt on both sides. While the machine was working, she didn’t
even dare to blink her eyes as she kept staring at the stone, worried that she might miss a thing. The
entire process of cutting a stone was a lengthy one, and every step was especially important.





Suddenly, someone from the crowd cried out, “There’s green! There’s jadeite…” Hearing that, Elise
couldn’t help but feel happy. However, the green surface was only as wide as a finger, and it made
everyone a little disappointed because it was a very small green surface for a stone this huge.

Even though the color looked good, it was considered a massive loss as the stone was bought for 50
million. “Be patient. Only a small part is cut, and not even one third of the stone is cut through yet.
Maybe there’ll be more green later.” “The surface of this stone looks good. I think it has more green
than this, so there’s probably still hope.” As the onlookers speculated amongst themselves, Elise felt
that her heart had already leaped to her throat; never in her life had she been this nervous before.

On the other hand, Alexander appeared calm and composed the entire time without any emotions on
his face. “Mr. Griffith, you’re just way too calm,” Elise pointed out, feeling a little envious of his
composure. “Yeah, I’m alright,” he said flatly. Pursing her lips, Elise thought, Looks like I really need to
learn to be composed and calm.

The person who spent 50 million is so relaxed, so why am I so nervous when it wasn’t my money
spent? After thinking it through, she relaxed quite a lot and wasn’t as nervous as before. Still, her eyes
were glued to the stone. As the craftsman cut deeper and deeper, the cut soon reached one third of the
stone, but there was no more jadeite.

Even the craftsman’s hands were clammy; this was a prized stone from his employer’s store, and he
was worried that the reputation of the store would be affected if there was no jadeite in this stone.
“Hang on.” Just then, Alexander suddenly called for him to stop, whereupon the craftsman paused
immediately, asking, “Mr. Griffith, do you have any instructions?” After taking a look, he answered, “Cut
it right in the middle.” His instructions shocked the craftsman.

“Mr. Griffith, it’s very risky to cut it in the middle. If—” Before he could finish, Alexander interrupted him,
“It’s alright. Just cut it in half.” Seeing how determined he was, the craftsman couldn’t say anything else



and returned to the machine before asking some men to change the position of the stone until the
cutting edge was right in the middle. After making sure the edge was on the middle spot, he began to
cut it slowly.

Even the crowd was stunned that such a huge stone was going to be cut in the middle. What would
happen if the jadeite in it was destroyed? And so, after the cut in the middle, a complete stone was
sliced into half, but both parts had no signs of green. Disappointment washed over the crowd, and even
Elise was stunned, thinking, So, he lost 50 million? “I didn’t expect that a stone with such an
astronomical price only has jadeite the size of a finger.

Looks like Mr. Jordan’s goods aren’t worthy at all.” “I was even thinking of buying a stone from him, but
from the looks of it, there’s a high chance I’ll lose my money.” “Don’t buy any for now. This batch of
stones must be bad. Let’s browse a little more…” Listening to their conversations, Elise peered at
Alexander with a worried expression.

When she was about to say something, Alexander said to the craftsman, “Take a look at the left edge.
What’s that?” At his reminder, only then did the craftsman notice that there was a little shade of red on
the left edge. Reaching out his finger, he felt the edge and cried out in surprise, “Hurry, continue to cut
it. There’s jadeite in here!”
