An Understated Dominance - Chapter 380

“That’s right. Only someone like you would waste two billion on a red gemstone,” she said with a smirk.

“I like to call them rich airheads,” her friend added.

The crowd around them began to whisper and point, clearly thinking that Dustin was just a stubborn man who couldn’t accept his loss. He had clearly suffered a setback but was still trying to act like he was winning.

“Did you hear that? I’m not the only one who thinks you’re an idiot. Everyone else does too,” she said, grinning.

“Really?” Dustin replied with a faint smile. “It seems no one realizes this isn’t just any red gemstone. It’s an extremely rare Crimson Gem.”

“What’s a Crimson Gem? I’ve never heard of it,” Jayla said, her lips curling in disdain.

“That’s fine. Let me show you,” he said as he struck the gemstone with his palm. The sound of two cracks echoed as lines appeared on the surface. In an instant, the cracks spread across the entire gemstone.

His actions sent the crowd into a frenzy.

“That’s crazy! That guy has lost it!” one person shouted.

“Even if he lost money, that doesn’t mean he should destroy the gemstone!” another exclaimed.

“Ms. Grant was right; he really is an idiot!” came another voice.

The crowd was shocked and regretful, expressing their disapproval. They all realized it was still a valuable treasure and felt it was a shame to see it destroyed.

Jayla was initially stunned but soon burst into laughter. “Did you get water in your brain? You spent two billion on that and then smashed it? I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you!” She continued to laugh, but it wasn’t long before…

She fell silent.

This happened after the gemstone shattered, revealing a stunning crimson flower from the broken pieces. The flower was translucent and blood-red, shining with a beautiful glow. It looked perfect, capturing the essence of nature.

When people looked closely, they could see a slow, graceful flow of red liquid moving within it. Under the lights, the crimson flower sparkled like a work of art, leaving everyone around it in awe.

“Could… could it be? Is that the legendary Flower of Crimson Gem?” After a brief moment of shock, a man in a long-sleeved shirt shouted.

His words sent the crowd into a frenzy.

“Flower of Crimson Gem? I can’t believe I’m seeing such a treasure in my lifetime!”

“It’s said that the Flower of Crimson Gem can not only extend life but also bring the dead back to life. If ordinary people take it, they will be reborn and achieve even greater things!”

“It’s a priceless treasure! Definitely priceless!”

“Wow, that guy spent just two billion on a Flower of Crimson Gem. What a lucky guy!”

The crowd gazed at the Flower of Crimson Gem with great greed and envy, like a beggar who found gold. Some bold individuals even started plotting secretly.

“Flower of Crimson Gem? How can this be?” Jayla stood there, shocked and unable to believe what she was seeing.

The Flower of Crimson Gem was an incredibly rare treasure, something you might find only once in a blue moon. It was far more valuable than a thousand-year green lotus. Who would have thought she would find it in a place like this?

In truth, the Grant family was the one who discovered the red gemstone, and she had personally delivered it to the auction.

house. In other words, she had given away something very valuable!

The thought made her feel dizzy.
