Chapter 962

"Oh, they're friends of Mr. Donnelly. I was wondering why they were so imposing.

Jean Leith laughed and turned to look at Mr. Donnelly.

"So you know what happened in the hall earlier then.”

Mr. Donnelly did not know what the lady wanted. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "I know, but these two are my friends.

Plus, it was an unintentional act to bump into you before. Please forgive...”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jean’s raised hand.

Immediately after, she turned around and walked towards Cathy Morrison.

Sean Miller stood up vigilantly and protected Cathy behind him. He asked in an unfriendly voice, "What do you want?"

Jean looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

"It's none of your business. I'll just have a word with her."

Behind him, Cathy stood up and tugged on Sean’s shirt.

"Sean, it's fine. Let her talk."

Only then did Sean let go with a cold face.

Jean sized up the woman in front of her.

She seemed to be extremely well maintained, and that kind of maintenance was different from the youthfulness of Jean’s face, which had been built up by countless high-end skincare products. This was a kind of youthfulness from the inside out, exuding a warm and serene temperament, just like the softest and most beautiful flower blooming in the grassland with a fresh breeze that one just could not resist liking.

Jean snorted and asked, "Your last name is Morrison?"

Cathy smiled slightly and said, "My name’s Cathy Morrison. You’re Miss Leith, right?"

Jean folded her arms and smiled proudly.

"Yes, my name is Jean Leith. I’m the eldest daughter of the Leith family. We’re considered acquaintances since we’ve fought. Although I disliked you before, I won't bother you since you’re a friend of Mr. Donnelly, so let's be friends," Jean said as she extended a hand.

Cathy paused for a moment.

She was not stupid. What was Jean Leith's identity?

The Leith family's eldest daughter was akin to the Leith family's eldest princess. In ancient times, the eldest princess was very powerful.

What about herself? Cathy was just an ordinary person living in seclusion in the desert all these years with Sean Miller. She rarely got involved in the circle of dignitaries, so why should she make friends with others?

Since Jean had said so, she could not refuse.

Therefore, she had no choice but to extend her hand, shook it with her gently, and smiled pleasantly.

"Alright."

Beside her, Sean frowned slightly, somewhat unable to understand Jean's behavior.

Not to mention Sean, even Mr. Donnelly, who was used to the marketplace and was the best at figuring out what people wanted, was also a little confused.

He originally thought that Jean came here to find trouble with Cathy.

However, it seemed that she was here to make friends?

What was going on?

Jean did not care what they thought. As the eldest daughter of the Leith family, she was used to doing her things her way and never cared about the opinion of others.

Therefore, after shaking hands with Cathy, Jean turned her head to look at Mr. Donnelly.

"Well, Mr. Donnelly, now that your friend’s also my friend, we can sit down and talk business."

Mr. Donnelly was stunned and said, "Talk business?"

Jean unceremoniously found a sofa and sat down. She pointed to the opposite sofa as if she was the host and said, "Yes, Mr. Donnelly, please have a seat."

Mr. Donnelly gulped and went to sit down across from her.

Jean said calmly, "To be honest, I didn't come here today to gamble, but to talk business with you."

Mr. Donnelly smiled awkwardly and said, "I wonder what kind of business Miss Leith wants to talk about."

"Naturally, it's a mining business. I know that this time there’s a lot of good stones and I also know that you’ve shipped them from Country T. I just want to ask, where are your mines?"

As soon as this was said, Mr. Donnelly's face changed.

In this business, everyone knew that the mine was their life. To dig out a good yield of stones was already not easy. There was more demand than supply. Everyone was waiting to snatch it away, so how could he easily let others know?

Therefore, when Jean came here so arrogantly and asked questions, it inevitably made them think that she was somewhat abusing her power to force the other party to give up his supply at hand.

Mr. Donnelly was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to his assistant and gave him a command.

The assistant quickly went out, and soon after, brought in a check.

With a dry smile, Mr. Donnelly put the check on the table and pushed it in front of Jean.

"Miss Leith, this time when I organized this stone-betting event in China, I didn’t notify anyone. I understand that this isn’t my territory, so I should’ve informed you guys before I organize this. This is my negligence. Please forgive me. This check is just a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it as an apology. Please accept it."

When Jean Leith looked at the check in front of her, she was first stunned, then when she came back to her senses, her face suddenly changed.

She quickly stood up and said, "Donnelly, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm blackmailing you?"

Mr. Donnelly’s face did not look too good, and he thought to himself, “You've made it so obvious that if it’s not blackmailing, is it a joke?’

Jean guessed what he was thinking and was suddenly furious.

She pointed at Mr. Donnelly and looked as if she hated him.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 "Let me tell you. I, Jean Leith, have plenty of money. I don’t even need your mere millions. I sincerely want to find out where this mine of yours was found and want to invest in a share. Is it so hard to understand? What's going on in your head?"

Mr. Donnelly was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

"Investment? Shares?"

Jean was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.

"Yes! What? Don't tell me that you don't need it. To tell you the truth, before I came here today, I already checked. Several big quarries in Country T have been almost developed, and any good jade’s been dug out long ago.

“However, this batch of yours is so good and even produced such a big piece of imperial green. I think it must be a newly discovered mine, right? If this mine was small, you can still handle it. But if it’s big, you probably don’t have the resources and might even attract trouble. It just so happens that I’d like to invest my money in this business. I have the Leith family backing me. If you’re willing, you can take me to see it. If I like it, I’ll buy the quarry and we can mine it together. What do you think?”

Sometimes in this world, there truly was such a thing as stupid people having stupid blessings.

Perhaps it was by accident or maybe it was because Jean did her homework before, but this time she really guessed it right.
