“We must not waste any more time! Hurry up and have the workers cut the stones, that’s final!”
Julissa opened her mouth, but no one would listen to her words.
The foreman only followed Reece’s orders.
Reece, on the other hand, only cared about Cristina.
Julissa stood there, at a loss, like a fool.
“Reece, let’s go downstairs.”
Cristina naturally took Reece’s arm and said, “Let the workers bring the machines to work.”
“Hmm.”
Julissa still stood in place.
If she couldn’t dig out that stone, she really couldn’t sleep or eat in
peace.
The obsession with stones seemed to flow in her blood from the moment she was born.
Hard to part, hard to give up.
Reece saw through Julissa’s thoughts, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, and he coldly reminded her, “Julissa, stop messing around.”
“The workers had already prepared the machines to start cutting, and there would be caution tape around it, so you couldn’t get in.”

Are you kidding?
In Reece’s view, her current behavior should be quite laughable.
After all, how could he possibly understand her feelings, he would never comprehend the significance of the stones to Julissa.
“Reece,” Cristina sneezed several times on the side, “It’s so windy here. Can we go down?”
“Hmm.”
Reece carefully supported Cristina and the two turned around, ready to descend the mountain.
“James,” Reece instructed, “take Julissa down the mountain and make sure she doesn’t misbehave.”
The roar of the machine grew louder as Julissa watched the rock being cut into four pieces, her gaze fixed on the bottom one, silently praying in her heart.
If they had finished cutting, and the rocks below had not slid into the ravine, then she still had a chance!
When the workers had finished the job completely, it was already late at night. They had worked for more than ten hours, and finally managed to preserve the precious treasure to the maximum extent.
Cristina was so tired that she couldn’t keep her eyes open, but she insisted on staying by Reece’s side.
Finally, the plan went smoothly, Reece looked gently at the wan beside him.
“You’ve worked hard, I’ll take you back.”

“Hmm.”
Julissa, however, looked at the stone unwilling to leave.
Everyone had been busy here for more than ten hours, almost always in a state of high tension, and everyone was exhausted.
Seeing Julissa still standing there, even after the crowd dispersed, she refused to leave.
Reece was a little annoyed.
“Won’t you ever stop?”
Julissa told him bluntly.
“I was going to dig that rock.”
She firmly believed that the stone, once mined, was invaluable.
“Don’t freak out here!”
Reece’s eyes were filled with a cold frost, his voice lowered a few notches, carrying an undeniable anger, “Don’t blame me for being impolite if you keep causing trouble!”
“But digging out that stone will definitely be worth more than the four on top!”
When Julissa spoke, the workers on the side who were tidying up couldn’t help but chuckle.
No one believed her.
They treated her as a lunatic.
Reece was even more ruthless.
“Where did you get your confidence from?”
The man’s cold and stern brows furrowed tightly, with a sense of detachment in his eyes.
“Just by taking a casual glance, you can make a judgment? Julissa, this is the Diaz family mine, not a place for you to play house.”
“Yes,” Cristina said, wearing a light brown wool coat, looking disdainfully at Julissa. “If something were to happen to you on this mine, it would affect the reputation of the Diaz Group.”
I see.
So Recce was so firm in denying her idea because of this.
James also kindly came to persuade at this moment.
“Moreover, it’s just a piece of stone. Even if it’s truly priceless, the Diaz Group wouldn’t necessarily have to have it.”
Yes.
The Diaz Group’s wealth was immeasurable, they looked down on this
stone.
He also couldn’t appreciate Julissa’s persistence.
But they did not understand that every lover of stones is reluctant to let such precious stones be buried underground.
Such beautiful things, need to go through the most vibrant design, the most meticulous carving, in the most beautiful way, to be appreciated by more people.
The Diaz Group relied on precious stones to raise prices, but had long forgotten the original intention of design.

Julissa was not worried.
“Okay.”
She said, “I will go back with you.”
Julissa did not sit with Recce, but instead got into the assistant’s car.
The car drove into the city, and Julissa said she needed to buy some things, so she got out of the car first.
Then at the next intersection, he hailed a taxi and headed to South. Mine once again.
Her mood went from nervous to excited along the way.

Julissa quickly found a stick, and sure enough, this method worked. The stone was soon pried out.
The stone was long and slender, not very heavy, with a thick old skin. wrapped in black soil, and at first glance it even looked a bit ugly.
Reece stood up and handed the stone to Julissa.
“Just for this.” He frowned. “You don’t even care about your life?”
Julissa didn’t even care about Reece’s sarcasm anymore, she took the stone and held it up high in the moonlight, absolutely loving it.
Reece was covered in dirt at the moment, with several cuts on his hands. Seeing the smile on Julissa’s lips, his own lips involuntarily curved up.
“Satisfied?”
Julissa nodded excitedly, her eyes bright, reflecting the bright moonlight.
“Thank you Reece. I promise, this stone will definitely not disappoint you!”
Reece didn’t care at all.
He came over in the middle of the night, just to see if Julissa was really crazy enough to come back.
The result was guessed by him.
He stood in the dark for a long time, watching Julissa dig so seriously.
TO ST
not knowing what had come over him, he went up to help her as if by magic.
Having regained his senses, Recce felt that he was sicker than Julissa.
“Can we go now?”
“Walk, walk, walk.”
Julissa was satisfied, mercilessly turned around and walked away. hugging the stone.
Completely ignoring the gloomy Reece behind him.
This woman, should not have helped her!
Reece had just taken a step when he felt that the ground beneath his feet was not right. The soil quickly collapsed downward, and he had no place to exert force. He wanted to retract, but it was too late.
With one foot stepping on air, the piece of soil beneath also began to plummet rapidly.
Reece’s body fell heavily backwards, completely weightless and unable to exert any force.
Just when he thought he was about to fall, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
“Reece!”
The man’s shocked eyes suddenly lifted, followed by a chilling anger.
“Hurry up and let go!”
This stupid woman, didn’t she run away quickly and inste stayed to die with him?
