Chapter 1411: What's Going On
He had been talking for a while, but Patrick Grant hadn’t responded with a single word.He knew that Patrick was upset but was too proud to express it.
As Patrick’s good brother from back in the day, he certainly couldn’t make things too difficult for him.
He didn’t speak to Patrick, but to Mr. Fenton instead.
“If Mr. Fenton insists, maybe this rough stone wouldn’t be ours,” Master Clark said with a smile. “Miss Chamberlain, you really should thank Mr. Fenton for his generosity.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Fenton,” Isabella Chamberlain said as she walked over with a smile. “Actually, I think we should thank the Stone God, Patrick. Without his outspoken help, we wouldn’t have secured this rough stone.”
“No wonder Stone God Grant is Master Clark’s close friend; he was really helpful,” Isabella Chamberlain thanked Patrick with a smile. Many people around them furrowed their brows at this.
Back then, the matter between Stone God Grant and Master Clark had been quite the scandal. Master Clark betrayed and cast Stone God Grant from his esteemed position as the God of Stone Gambling into the dust. For Isabella Chamberlain to mention it so lightly, her character really is problematic.
“Miss Chamberlain, it was my decision not to purchase this rough stone; it has nothing to do with Mr. Grant,” Mr. Fenton spoke up.
For Mr. Fenton to stand up for Patrick at that moment was quite unexpected for Sophie Wilson.
The Chamberlain Family and the Fenton Clan were both prominent families here. It was quite rare for Mr. Fenton to stand up for Patrick after losing such a profitable rough stone.
Also, Mr. Fenton’s choice of address—calling Patrick “Mr. Grant”—considered Patrick’s need for face.
Master Clark had been increasingly aggressive, and given the past events, calling Patrick “Stone God Grant” would be more mocking than respectful, making Patrick feel embarrassed.
Whether Patrick truly felt embarrassed, Mr. Fenton didn’t know. But for him to be so considerate of Patrick was commendable.
“Mr. Fenton is really generous,” Isabella Chamberlain sighed. “Losing so much revenue all at once… I can’t compare to Mr. Fenton’s magnanimity.”
Isabella Chamberlain was immensely pleased. After this rough stone purchase, she was sure to shine in the Chamberlain Family.
It’s worth noting that the old pit’s rough stones were rarely sold externally; they were always directly supplied to the Lingzhu Jade Craft.
Although Lingzhu Jade Craft was based far away in the Imperial City, they had heard of it here.
The jade from there is top-notch, indicating how good the raw materials are that Lingzhu Jade Craft obtained.
Even the wealthy from here would go to the Imperial City for top-tier jade when they needed it.
The Chamberlain Family’s jewelry and jade were at least two grades lower than Lingzhu Jade Craft.
This time buying the rough stone might allow their family to produce a few pieces of top-tier jade.
A sudden gasp from those around brought Isabella back from her pleasant thoughts, and the sound of the stone being cut had unexpectedly stopped. The stone-cutter asked, “Master Clark, should we continue?”
Isabella knew something was wrong the moment she heard the voice. She rushed over to see and was so shocked her voice changed pitch: “What happened?”
The bright green that had appeared earlier turned out to be just a thin layer, and behind that patch of green was stark white stone.
“Master Clark, what’s going on?”
