Chapter 262 Encounter With Rupert
Felicia hurriedly walked toward Jennifer and said to her, “Jennifer, hurry up and say you agree! I’ll get into trouble as well if you make Mr. Leo angry!”
After a pause, she went on to say, “If you really can’t do it, then I’ll just pay the one hundred thousand!”
Jennifer scanned her surroundings, then she shivered as she felt a chill down her spine.
She could see through the floor-to-ceiling window that a lot of people had surrounded the place.
All of them had elaborate tattoos of dragons and phoenixes on their bodies, indicating that they were debt collectors.
Each and every single one of them was staring at Jennifer like she was prey.
“Okay, but Mr. Leo has to keep his promise!” Jennifer whispered, her whole body trembling.
After that, Jennifer took out her phone to pay the one hundred thousand.
A moment later, an old man entered with a mini cutter machine.
“This man here is an appraiser, so he would never resort to tricks for the sake of our relationship. Don’t worry.” Mr. Leo leaned against the couch, while Felicia walked to his back and gave him a shoulder massage.
Then, the old man started cutting the stone, resulting in a loud and sharp noise. Jennifer could feel her heart in her throat.
She understood nothing about stone gambling, after all.
When the stone was cut to a depth of one-third of its size, the jade within the stone was still not visible, so Jennifer started to relax.
“Impossible. This stone is at least a million years old. It’s impossible that it contains nothing,” Felicia said.
The old man continued cutting the stone. In the end, the blade produced a loud clang, and sparks were seen.
Lloyd’s expression became focused, and he hurriedly sat up to stare at the stone seriously. “Start the peeling process.”
With a nod, the old man began to do as instructed.
A few moments later, the old man had an eight-sided even-faced crystal that was the size of a baby’s fist in his palms, which he then showed to Lloyd. “It’s not valuable. It’s just an even-faced crystal that has a similar market price as agate.”
Lloyd seemed very disappointed. He then threw the crystal at Jennifer, who caught it and carefully placed it in her own handbag.
“Can I go now, Mr. Leo?” Jennifer asked.
With a dark expression on his face, he nodded in spite of his reluctance. “Go.”
As if she had escaped a death sentence, Jennifer walked on her high heels and hurried out of the office.
The moment she exited the office, though, she was blocked by a person.
When she looked up, her face instantly paled, for the person was none other than Rupert.
He was a demon who would kill without hesitation, as proven by the contents in the flash drive and the incident at the chemical plant in the western suburbs.
After the incident in the chemical plant in the western suburbs, Anastasia was killed by Donald, whereas Rupert went into hiding.
Coincidentally, Tyrone came to Pollerton, and Rupert appeared again. However, he soon went into hiding again, so Chiliad Avion never had the chance to capture Rupert.
Never once did Jennifer expect that Rupert would appear in Cosmic Plaza.
“Ms. Wilson, we meet again.” The smile on Rupert’s face was incredibly sinister. He was showing his teeth as he smiled, which was such a scary sight that would send chills down anyone’s spine.
“Hello, Mr. Rodriguez,” Jennifer replied somewhat fearfully as she took a step back.
Rupert took a step closer to her while he pushed his glasses up his nose. “Ms. Wilson, you seem rather scared of me. May I know why?”
Jennifer forced a smile and replied, “No, I’m not scared of you. You’re funny, Mr. Rodriguez.”
Rupert merely smiled while shaking his head. Then, an incredibly savage look appeared on his face, and he held her by her neck. “You’ve actually come out unharmed from the chemical plant in the western suburbs. Pray tell, what happened that day?”
His sister, Anastasia, had died in a terrible manner, and the flash drive had disappeared, so he was in a constantly unsettled state. All of his trustworthy assistants had all died in the chemical plant, and even the list of the people who had previously come into contact with the girl, Sara, was gone.
Without the list, he would never know who had come into contact with Sara, and who were the ones who had escaped the chemical plant.
