197 Meeting Christine (1)

The stone threw the world into chaos for centuries until it suddenly disappeared like it appeared. Rainborite precious stone is said to be a mystery with different myths. 1

No one knows how it comes and goes. Some said it holds the power of the world, some said it fell from heaven, and others it is a wish-granting stone. Even a little piece of it can grant wishes. Although many people don't believe such myths, it doesn't mean that they won't want the stone. After all, a mustard seed-sized Rainborite stone is enough to shoot a poor family into the ranks of riches, let alone a whole mine!

Maverick shifted his gaze from Emilee to his ringing phone. He picked it up to hear Rex's voice. After he was done with the call, he placed the phone back on the table and finally spoke; "Worry for yourself. The stone is mine to worry about."

"Mr. Maverick," Emilee smiled. “I knew you'd say that. The family and I discussed and came to the conclusion that we want only 20% of the stone. What do you say?" She waited with expectation. She was sure he would agree.

"1%...I'm not giving."

"Mr. Maverick, this..." She frowned. Does he know what he is saying? She heard about his possession of a Rainborite Mine from a reliable source and immediately scheduled a meeting with him without the family elders knowing. If she is able to close the deal with him, those in the family who hate her would undoubtedly accept her and if Damien comes back, everyone will reject him, making her the authorized ruler.

Emilee planned to take Maverick down with this Mine. After she gets hers, she would spread the news about Maverick owning a mine and place a target on his back. While the whole world is after him, she would push the Yu family to the top of the charts, seizing power from Maverick then.

However, now that he doesn't want to give her any, she can't expose him, else she'll lose out on the fortune. "Mr. Maverick, you should think about it. I shall reschedule a meeting with you to discuss it next time. Have a nice day." She got up and left with Christine.

After they left, Maverick also got up and walked out, abandoning the contract on the table for the cleanings to get rid of.

The cleaners know that whatever Maverick leaves on the table is to be thrown out or burnt.

Outside the company...

Emilee and Christine were walking to their car with their guards when Christine caught a glimpse of a lady in a mask pushing a child in a wheelchair.

Christine paused in her steps because the lady looked too familiar, at the same time, unfamiliar. "Jes-Jeslyn?" She called softly in doubt.

The

gorgeous lady she saw was wearing a long peach coat with a double-breasted lapel, hemmed with lace on the edge. Inside the coat was a straight white gown that stopped on her thigh while the coat stopped above her knee. She was also wearing black shades and a white mask.

The child, on the other hand, was wearing a white polo shirt and black shorts with black light brown shades. His long bang was pushed off his face. The child was simply too beautiful that Christine suddenly felt the urge to get pregnant... but for Maverick only.

Although she couldn't see the lady well due to the number of hefty guards protecting them, she was able to see the child when he was helped into his wheelchair.

Hearing that, Emilee stopped walking and turned in Jeslyn's direction.

The group walked past them without even sparing them a glance. She behaved like they were invisible

"Jeslyn!" Christine called, a little loudly. She wasn't sure if the lady was Jeslyn, so she wanted to

confirm.

"Stop right there!" Emilee chimed in. If Christine says it's Jeslyn, then it must be her. She also wants to see that Jeslyn that was able to marry Maverick and is still alive until today. She's even pushing Maverick's child around and also caused Mulan's death without raising a gun..

Jeslyn and her group didn't stop until they got to the elevator and got in before she turned to look at both her sisters. However, the distance was a little too far and she was still being shielded which was why they couldn't confirm her identity,

"Are you sure that was Jeslyn?" Emilee asked.

"I'm not certain but she reminded me of her."

"If you were to compare both, what difference did you spot?" Emilee asked.

"Jeslyn is a carefree girl. She's always smiling and looking happy. But this one has the vibe of a powerful Young Miss."

"Has Jeslyn never shown you another side of her before?"

Christine thought for a while before she snapped her finger. "She was different when I visited her in jail. She even used lots of censored words"

"Then, she's Jeslyn," Emilee concluded before getting into her red car.

Christine froze in her spot. That was Jeslyn?! How is that possible?!

"I don't have the whole day!" Emilee cried out from the car, startling Christine who hurriedly got into the car before it zoomed off. They have a meeting with the director of Sparkle entertainment and need to be there as soon as possible.

Inside the company, the workers couldn't stop ogling Jeslyn and Valen. They had no idea who Jeslyn was but they knew Valen was their boss' son.

For the saucy little child to allow the lady to push his wheelchair while looking content, it must be that the lady is a nanny with high rank.

Although they thought Jeslyn was Valen's nanny, they didn't dare to look down on her because of an Incident that happened with Ms. Mulan.

A worker thought he could disrespect her because she was just a Nanny. Little Valen got angry because he felt he was being looked down on, so he ordered the worker to be fired. To this day, that worker is stil roaming the streets, looking for a job.
