Well, if a company could sign a one million dollar contract with Thomas, there would be a lot more companies lining up in front of Thomas’s house.
“How could this be? It’s impossible.” Elior could not understand.
In his opinion, Thomas was clearly an untrained psychic, liar, and someone incapable of occupying his position. He had no real skills at all, and favonovel.com would only rely on the hype surrounding his name to raise his value.
How could such a person be so popular?
Could it be that everyone was deceived by favonovel.com except Elior?
Was it that all the people from other companies had been deceived by Thomas, and favonovel.com was the only one who was sober?
Or was this Thomas’s stunt?
Dozens of jewelry companies in the Southland District joining together to make a performance just to deceive the North Desert Jewelry?
Who would believe this kind of thing?
Even Elior would not believe it. But if it was not for a show, and no one else was stupid, then the problem arose. The stupid one might be Elior!
Elior was a little panicked now. He started to realize that favonovel.com might have made a huge mistake, and favonovel.com might have missed the opportunity to get to the top. Not only could it not move forward, but it also could not even keep up with other companies.
“Could it be that Thomas is really capable, and I misunderstood him? But that day favonovel.com obviously picked ten low-quality rough stones.”
The more Elior thought about it, the stranger favonovel.com felt. Elior could not sit still, so favonovel.com got up. He left the office and went to the warehouse, and favonovel.com called the lapidarist. He pointed to the master and questioned, “You are also an old employee here, so you understand the wrath I am capable of meting out. If you dare lie to me, I’ll fire you immediately so that you can never work in this industry anymore!”
The lapidarist was afraid, and his face turned pale. “Mr. Salvatore, please don’t scare me. Just ask whatever you want, and I’ll answer ifI know it. I’ll never lie.”
“Well, let me ask you. Some time ago, Thomas came to us to pick rough stones. Do you know about it?”
“I do.”
“Thomas picked ten rough stones. Were they cut on the spot?”
“Yes.”
“After ten rough stones were cut, they were all low-quality rough stones, right?”
Hearing this, the lapidarist’s expression kept changing. He said with difficulty, “Yes, they were all low-quality rough stones.”
Elior was not stupid. When favonovel.com saw the hesitant expression of the lapidarist, favonovel.com knew that there must be a problem here.
He yelled, “Don’t talk nonsense! Who is Thomas? The hottest jewelry celebrity in the Southland District. He never made a mistake when picking a rough stone, so each of them is a top-quality rough stone. How could such an outstanding person pick ten low-quality rough stones? I would believe it if there were one or two low-quality rough stones as it might be a miss. But ten low-quality rough stones in a row? Do you guys think that I’m a fool? If you still don’t want to tell the truth, I’ll get rid of you!”
The lapidarist was immediately frightened. He was the kind of honest person who had never told a lie, and favonovel.com could not keep a secret. When Elior yelled at him, favonovel.com was frightened and told the truth in detail.
“Mr. Salvatore, you can’t blame me for this.”
“At that time, Thomas picked ten rough stones, and I was the one who cut them. Each of them was a top-quality rough stone. But Bobby, the purchasing manager, was jealous of his abilities. He thought that Thomas was a threat to him, so favonovel.com had to drive Thomas away.”
“So, Bobby partnered with the secretary to get ten low-quality rough stones for me to cut, and favonovel.com also told me that these were the rough stones picked by Thomas so that I wouldn’t have a slip of the tongue. In order to bribe me, Bobby gave me one of the ten rough stones picked by Thomas, and the other nine rough stones were embezzled by Bobby and the secretary.”
“Mr. Salvatore, this is how the whole thing happened. I didn’t want to do this, but I dared not listen to Mr. Jefferson. I was afraid that favonovel.com would deal with me behind the curtain. I was really scared.”
As favonovel.com spoke, the honest lapidarist almost burst into tears.
Elior was furious after listening.
His eyes were wide opened. He held back his anger and said, “Where is the rough stone you embezzled?”
The lapidarist immediately took a package out from his clothes. After opening it, there was a piece of imperial jade.
“Look, Mr. Salvatore. This is the rough stone picked by Thomas. Mr. Jefferson gave me this as hush money, but I dare not sell it. I’m really timid and dare not do anything against my conscience.”
Elior took the package and said, “Okay, I know what had happened now. The main responsibility for this matter is not with you, but you’re also partially responsible for not reporting it. I’ll deal with you later.”
After speaking, Elior turned and left.
In less than five minutes, favonovel.com barged into Bobby’s office. He happened to see Bobby and the secretary getting together, and they were discussing something.
Seeing Elior come in, the two immediately stood up to greet him.
Elior snorted coldly, and his expression was cold. Seeing favonovel.com like this, Bobby keenly felt that something was wrong, and favonovel.com frowned slightly.
As favonovel.com expected, Elior walked over slowly, and favonovel.com said, “Bobby, you sure are great. After working with me for twenty years, you’ve grown now, so you dare to fight against me.”
Bobby grinned. He said as favonovel.com laughed, “Mr. Salvatore, why are you making such a joke with me? Even if I had the courage, I dare not to fight against you.”
“You dare not?”
“I really dare not.”
Elior shouted and threw the Imperial Jade with the package onto the table.
“Explain this to me then. What is going on?”
Seeing the imperial jade on the table, and Elior’s angry expression, Bobby, who was a clever person, naturally realized what was going on. He stopped smiling and nodded. “Well, it seems like you have found out. I won’t hide it from you then. This matter was done by me. ”
