Helen nodded. "I agreed. I'd rather not put Frank on the spot.”
With that, the two girlbosses of Riverton shared the factory Frank repurposed
from the Salazars.
Further details were up to those two—it would not be Frank's business either
way. -
At noon, Randall Young was sitting in his jewelry store at Riverton's Square
Street, holding up a magnifying glass as he studied a bright ruby.
After a long while, he breathed a long sigh and put away the magnifying glass.
Then, looking up at the girl standing opposite him, he cleared his throat. "Well,
the luster and form rank it among the best of the best—it's a ruby fit for Talnam
royalty. So, would you mind telling me where you got it from?"
Naturally, Cindy was the one standing opposite Randall.
She brought him the ruby that Fenton delivered, though she shook her head in
hesitation. "It's a gift. I can't say."
"You can't say..." Randall breathed a long sigh and shook his head. "Ma'am, I'm
actually afraid to buy this from you because it's too valuable."
Pausing for a moment in thought, he then said, "No, that's not all. You must
understand that this belonged to Talnam royalty! There would be a diplomatic
crisis between Draconia and Talnam if they were to find out that some commoner
got their hands on this!"
Cindy was actually terrified by what Randall said. She certainly did not think that
the ruby from Frank's father belonged to royalty and could cause a diplomatic
crisis!
However, she did not give up and pressed, "But are you really passing up on this,
Mr. Young?"
"Well." Randall hesitated for a moment, and sighed as he raised five fingers. "I
can take it for 500 million dollars. That's twenty percent of its full value, but it's all
I can pay you because I can't sell it anywhere other than on the black market.
You have to understand.”
"500 million?!" Cindy's eyes could pop out, and she almost choked even as she
stared at the ruby she was holding.
And 500 million was just twenty percent of its full value. She had really hit the
jackpot!
That was when Cindy's phone started ringing, and she quickly put the ruby in her
bag before scrambling to answer it.
Hello, Cindy? How did the appraisal go? Is the ruby real?" Gina asked from the
other end.
"O-Of course..."
Cindy stopped himself as greed overcame her.
After all, there was 500 million dollars at stake!
