Although Jean Leith was unreliable, she was notoriously generous to those around her.
She had a prominent status. Her parents were both big shots and her nephew was the boss of the largest financial group in China.
Thus, over the years, although she was divorced, her private life had been very rich and there had been an unknown number of young men who chased after her.
Jean was happy. Since the Old Madam had already said that she was not to intervene in the company, she already knew that she would not inherit the family business, so she gave up on the idea of having her own child.
After all, if she had a child, technically the child would be of equal status to Gideon, but they were very different from each other and Jean was not willing to accept this fact.
Thus, it was better not to have a child than for the child to be born and be treated badly.
She knew that although Gideon was always cross with her, he still missed his aunt.
If she was incapacitated in her old age, Gideon would not abandon her.
Therefore, she had nothing to worry about. Living in the moment was a wonderful thing.
With such a mentality, this made her more generous and those young men attracted by her status and beauty also flocked to her.
Jean took Ben and looked around. She had indeed heard a lot of news that interested her.
It was only then that she learned that the stone-betting event was held by a big foreign jade merchant, whose quarry was not in China but in Country T.
She wanted to invest in a stone quarry and had sent people to several famous mining locations in Country T, but had not heard of any good jade being mined recently.
Where did these people mine the stones this time?
As she was pondering, she heard a shout from the front.
She walked over with Ben and saw a group of people around her. When she asked, she realized that someone had bought a stone, cut it open on the spot, and found a good jade.
Jean was curious, so she asked Ben to wait outside and took a look for herself.
Sure enough, it was indeed a good jade!
She saw the person holding the stone with one of its edges cut. It had a green luster and was as clear as water, so she knew at first glance that it was at least a good jade of imperial green level.
The surrounding people were very excited, speculating about how big the jade was.
Everyone started to talk and said a bunch of things. Based on Jean’s experience, she could see that the jade was not small. It should be at least as big as four fists.
Such a big piece of jade! How much must it be worth?
Later, when she learned that the person who bought the piece of jade had only spent more than 2 million, her eyes turned red.
She hurriedly withdrew from the crowd and was looking for someone to inquire about the owner of the place, when suddenly, she bumped into someone.
Jean was unaware and stumbled, then unconsciously yelled, "Who is it? Can't you see where you're going?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry…”
Jean heard a soft female voice, looked up, and froze for a moment.
She saw the person standing in front of her was a middle-aged woman of about the same age as her, with a gentle temperament and stunning features.
The woman was wearing a long, light-colored skirt. Her hair was pulled up high, revealing a long, graceful neck. She was middle-aged but her body had an indescribable sense of femininity and beauty.
Her expression sank.
A beautiful woman would always subconsciously dislike another beautiful woman, especially if the other party was even more beautiful than herself.
This was called same-gender repulsion.
Jean looked at her coldly and said, "Can't you see that I was here? Will you be responsible if you ram into me and hurt me?"
The woman smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry to find someone and didn't pay attention. Where are you hurt? I can pay your medical bills or take you to the hospital if necessary?"
"I'm sorry, lady. It was my wife who accidentally bumped into you and I apologize on her behalf, but that's no excuse for you to insult people at will, is it?"
What Jean hated most in her life was when someone contradicted her.
In the Leith family, it was because she knew she had no right to speak, so she made small concessions.
Outside, however, who would not call her "Miss Leith" with respect when they saw her?
This man was even talking to her in such a tone, so Jean's rage flared up.
"I insulted her? So what if I insulted her? If she doesn't hit me, what can I say about her? What? You hit someone and you still look like you’re in the right, don't you?"
Her unreasonable attitude made Sean Miller’s frown deepen and a touch of disgust flashed across his eyes.
More and more people were gathering around them. Cathy Morrison looked embarrassed and pulled his sleeve.
"Sean, forget it."
Sean knew that she was afraid of being surrounded by people, so he took her protectively into his arms and said sternly, "Listen, lady. My wife’s kind and gentle. I don't want to argue with you. Since you said she hit you, fine, just say what you want. There's no need to make a fuss here."
Jean saw that the other party had softened, so she snorted proudly.
"I don't want to do anything either, just let her apologize to me three times in front of everyone."
When Cathy heard this, she said she was sorry three times in a row.
Sean's face was very glum, not because he was angry at Cathy for apologizing to others, but because he was angry at the woman in front of him for being so arrogant and unforgiving.
He looked at Jean with a piercing stare.
"Alright, now that the apologies have been said, can we go now?"
