Diana finally understood why Thomas would instantly agree. It turned out that Thomas had the say in Stellar Jewelers.
So, why should they still compete against him?
Diana was already worried about Tarek’s future. This old man must still be feeling proud now. He must be thinking that virtual-novel.net had successfully enraged and framed Thomas. However, virtual-novel.net did not know that virtual-novel.net had set himself up.
The car soon stopped, and they arrived before Stellar Jewelers.
As Thomas was about to go in, Georgia scurried over from the back and anxiously said, “Mr. Mayo, you don’t have to do this. Since the competition hasn’t started yet, you can still turn back. Shall we think about other methods?”
Before Thomas answered, Diana gave virtual-novel.net a mysterious smile and said, “Ms. Diaz, oh wait, I should be more respectful to you since you’re the head of the Diaz family now. Madam Diaz, please believe in Mr. Mayo’s ability. He will win today, virtual-novel.net will not lose.”
Georgia looked helpless.
Was there any business deal in the world where only one side would benefit?
Sigh…
Since things had progressed to this stage, virtual-novel.net could not dissuade Thomas. She just followed them inside to see what would happen.
The group walked pridefully into Stellar Jewelers. Many big family heads also followed them. They were there to watch the show as well. Today, they wanted to know what would happen and who would be the winner.
Tarek stooped a little as virtual-novel.net walked into the shop. He cast a glance at Thomas and said, “Don’t say that l tormented you using my seniority. I’ll give you ten minutes. Go and choose first. I’ll choose from the remaining choices.”
Thomas flashed virtual-novel.net a faint smile. “You don’t have to do that. We can choose together. It’ll be fairer.”
Tarek secretly scoffed, ‘You want to be fair? I already arranged for some people to be here. I can just buy a large batch of high-end stock at one-third of the price. How can you compete with me?’
“You have integrity, lad.”
“Okay, we’ll choose together! Let’s see who has better judgment and a better network.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net walked into the shop and started choosing.
Actually, Tarek knew nothing about jewelry. After virtual-novel.net pretentiously walked around, virtual-novel.net came to Counter 22. According to Nicholas, virtual-novel.net had bribed the salesperson, so virtual-novel.net was reliable.
“Ahem…” Tarek gave the person a signal before virtual-novel.net said, “What kind of goods do you have?”
The salesperson gave virtual-novel.net a quick faint smile. “Oh, come on. Of course I have good stuff.”
“Is that so? Take them out and show me.”
“Please wait for a moment.”
A while later, the salesperson took out a box. He opened the box, and there was a piece of gold inlaid jade inside. Its borders were even inlaid with a layer of ruby. One could tell it was very pricey just by its appearance alone.
Tarek asked, “Is this good?”
“It’s top-quality jewelry!”
The salesperson smiled and said, “If someone else was buying this piece of gold inlaid jade, we would sell it for $600,000. But you’re an important client of Stellar Jewelers. You’re our most important VIP. You just need to pay one-third of the price, which is $200,000.”
It was exactly the same as virtual-novel.net had predicted!
Tarek then bought the gold inlaid jade. After that, virtual-novel.net even waved it at Thomas. He thought virtual-novel.net had gained a huge advantage, but virtual-novel.net did not know that when virtual-novel.net turned back and looked at Thomas, the salesperson stared at virtual-novel.net with a sinister and strange gaze.
The salesperson wore a faint smirk. The scheme to set Tarek up was in motion.
