Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1494 [Eleven Jewell]

Chris turned to Stella after he finished his statement. Stella cleared her throat and feigned, “You can sell a whole bag for ten thousand dollars?”

“The person in charge of recycling is a partner of our store, so the price they offer us is relatively high.

The few newly established factories only offer six thousand per bag,” Chris explained.

Vermont’s voice grew serious. “With this quality of scraps, unless they’re too damaged to be used for jewelry, they should definitely not be sold by the bag. Their raw stones are of good quality. Even if they’re considered scraps, a bag shouldn’t cost only ten thousand dollars.”

“Let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. Stella has just arrived, and the business hasn’t fully started yet.

The people don’t trust her, and nobody will tell the truth even if we look into it.”

Felicity did not know how to convey such a long message to Stella.

However, Stella would surely sense something fishy even if Felicity did not say anything.

“Chris, let’s go take a look at the design studio,” Stella said calmly.

Seeing Stella’s composed demeanor and the lack of immediate objection, Chris concluded that she might not understand these matters. He put his concerns aside and led them to the second floor.

The Velvet had five designers. When they arrived, four of them were at their respective workstations.

Chris cleared his throat and announced loudly, “Stop whatever you’re working on, and let me introduce the new owner of our branch.”

Everyone looked up, and one familiar face instantly caught Stella’s eye.

She blinked in surprise. ‘Isn’t that Maggie, the woman I bumped into at the square earlier? I didn’t know she worked at The Velvet.’

Maggie was a skilled designer, and a big company was more suitable for her career growth. ‘Why would she be here?’

Maggie had also noticed Stella and paused for a brief moment. She then quickly regained her composure. However, her expression now held a touch of seriousness.

Chris proceeded to introduce Stella with great enthusiasm. It was almost as if he was conducting an awards ceremony. Stella listened attentively before she interrupted. “It’s nice to meet everyone. Weren’t there supposed to be five designers? Where’s the other one?”

One of the designers responded, “Our team leader, Barbara, took Ms.

Wilson to the reception.”

Chris was momentarily taken aback. “Ms. Wilson is here?”

The designer nodded. “She came early this morning before you arrived. She has a banquet this evening and wanted to pick out a couple of pieces of fine jewelry for the occasion, so she came over early. Barbara has been assisting her for over an hour.”

“Why didn’t anyone inform me earlier?” Chris was getting anxious. “Has anyone offered her refreshments? Did Ms. Wilson buy the pastries she likes? Did she have breakfast when she arrived this morning? Did you ask?”

Stella and Felicity stood there silently. ‘Ms. Wilson must be quite the character if Chris is so devoted toward her,’ they thought.

If Stella was not present, he would have probably left directly.

“Ms. Hall, this is essentially how the company operates. I have clients in the store today, so I need to attend to them. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, let’s arrange a time, and I’ll show you around,” Chris said.

Stella responded, “Let’s see everything since we’re already here. Barbara is in charge of the design department and is the person who controls the product design standards. I need to meet her. Chris, please take US to her.”

Chris was in a hurry to attend to Ms. Wilson, so he did not have time to decline further. “This way, please,” he said.

When they arrived at the reception room, they heard a subservient voice saying, “May I know if this fits your satisfaction, Ms. Wilson?”
