I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn Novel
Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Oliver rubbed his forehead and sighed.

She didn’t have to constantly talk about repaying his kindness. Besides, Fabian was in the car now.

People were most grateful for people who provided help in one’s hour of need, not someone who could provide the icing on the cake, nor a person who kicked someone when they were down.

Her relatives were all people who kicked someone when they were down. Although Hailey didn’t give him money or lend it to him directly, she allowed him to make money when he was at the most challenging point in his life. Besides, she did not take the 780 thousand dollars he had made by stone gambling. Instead, she added 20,000 dollars and transferred it to him to round it off to 800 thousand dollars.

Then she gave him a mansion, a high-paying job, a luxury car, and so on.

If there were a person he was the most grateful for in this world, it would be Hailey.

“Forget it. Let her do whatever she wants. She is not short of money anyways. I only have to try harder to earn more for her in the future,” thought Oliver.

Fabian was the only one who had been dumbfounded!

Today’s stone-cutting scene was beyond his imagination of this lifetime. Every raw stone that was cut had an emerald.

And the last one they cut out was a top-quality imperial jadeite, which is known as a top-class emerald. That jadeite had made Oliver and Hailey directly earn 200 million dollars!

When Fabian thought of the 200 million dollars, he became dizzy. It was 200 million dollars!

Fabian had witnessed the scene where losing nine out of ten times was the common occurrence in stone gambling. The scenes where someone made a fortune with just a cut of a stone were sporadic.

But Oliver had shown Fabian what it means to win all bets.

Fabian suddenly thought, “Does this young Mr. Eastwood have a set of techniques to identify raw emerald rough?

After being dazed, Fabian suddenly grabbed Oliver, who was driving. He then said, “Mr. Eastwood, I-I’m not going to do anything else anymore. I will follow you and work for you. You only need to pay me a salary. If you want to go for stone gambling, you can just let me be your runner. You only need to choose the stones. That’s it!”

Fabian had felt Oliver’s generosity these days. At that time, he had wanted to be friends with Oliver because Oliver’s personality made him seem friendly. Anyone who was not petty would like someone like Oliver.

But what made Fabian even more thrilled and excited was that when it came to picking raw emerald rough, Oliver had a particular skill. Being a mediocre person involved in the jade stone circle for so long, Fabian knew the way Oliver gambled and won every bet in raw stones could only be considered lucky if it happened once or twice. But if it happened every single time? Could it still be called luck?

Fabian would rather believe that he had somehow become a deity than Oliver was winning through sheer luck. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If Oliver had the skills to identify raw emerald rough, it would be the capital for becoming a top-tier wealthy person. No one could give up such skills to others.

Fabian had yet to have the intention to steal that skill from Oliver. He knew what kind of person he was, and his ability was not enough for him to keep the wealth and treasures he would be able to earn through that skill. Fabian just wanted to live a peaceful and luxurious life by following behind a skilled man like Oliver. That was all he wanted to be content with life.

Oliver was moved and glanced at Hailey again upon hearing this.

Hailey nodded in agreement.

Hailey has witnessed Oliver’s skill. It was only a matter of spending a few minutes for Oliver to make money with his skills. In addition, stone gambling was also a legal and compliant way of making money. It would be great if an old geezer like Fabian could carve out a path for Oliver.

Since Hailey had agreed to it, Oliver immediately said to Fabian, “All right. You can follow me and work for me. Your friends… Are they reliable? How about I let them work for me as well?”

Fabian was overjoyed. He excitedly said, “They are reliable. All five of them are my childhood friends. Two of them are veterans who worked as soldiers. They can each beat up four or five people easily. The other three are in the same profession as me in Radford, selling jade and emeralds. Every month they make enough to survive and ensure no one is starving in their family. If Mr. Eastwood doesn’t mind having them work for you, that will be great!”

Oliver nodded and said, “Well, you can rent a house in Jeahron first. Our store is a luxury second-hand upcycling store, and we don’t need people running it. However, I think we can expand our business scope in the future. Whether it involves

antiques, jade ware, or other businesses, as long as we can make money, we can give it a go. There are too many restrictions on luxury second-hand upcycling stores. Ms. Fox, what do you think?”

Hailey didn’t hesitate at all before saying, “You can do whatever you want.”

Hailey was such a wonderful boss!

Oliver smiled and said, “All right. I’ll start planning it. I will re-register and start up a new company.”

Hailey heard him mentioning re-registering and starting a new company. After thinking for a while, she said, “Why don’t we do this? I’ll pay for your company. I will finance the company while you run it. We can do a 40-60 split for the company registration and shares.

“I don’t think that will work, Ms. Fox. Let’s do it as usual. We split it 50-50,” said Oliver. Then he turned around and said to Fabian, “You can be my business manager now. You will specialize in the emerald and jade stone business with a basic salary of 10,000 dollars plus bonus and commissions. How about your five childhood friends start with a basic salary of 4.000 dollars plus bonus and commissions?”

Fabian grinned and said, “That certainly works for me. Mr. Eastwood, your basic salary is too high. Do you want to discuss this a bit more?”

Oliver smiled and answered, “Do you think it is too high of a salary? A piece of raw stone could solve this problem. However, I don’t want too many people to know about my skills. Of course, no one else can learn them. This skill is not something anyone can learn. Fabian, please keep it a secret, especially when mingling outside. I won’t mistreat you as long as you work for me loyally.”

Fabian immediately patted his chest and said, “Mr. Eastwood, you have nothing to worry about. Although I am greedy for money, I will only be greedy for what I deserve and not for things that are not mine to be greedy about.”

“All right. Then, I’ll transfer you another 200 thousand dollars. You guys can go around Jeahron these days to see if there are any suitable places to rent, or we can buy it if the price is good. Don’t worry about money!”

Fabian nodded and thought to himself,” Mr. Eastwood must be rich. I didn’t know how much money he had before, but today I saw him earn 120 million dollars with my eyes.”

Hailey is more like a person who’s not short of money.

What reassured him the most was Oliver’s mysterious skills involving his eyes. With Oliver’s skills, they had a way of continuously making considerable money.

Mancherníus produced raw stones every day. So long as Oliver bought only the valuable raw stones, they would make money faster than if they printed them.

Thinking of the danger they faced in Manchernius this time, Oliver thought for a while and said to Fabian, “I have something I need your help with. Can you check with your two friends who are retired veterans from the army if they know about other special forces veterans? If so, we’ll recruit some people to be in charge of security!”

Hailey nodded and agreed, “It’s better to do that immediately. I’m starting to suspect that Marshall had something to do with what happened in Manchernius!”

Oliver didn’t say anything straightforwardly. Although he also thought there was a 70 to 80 percent chance that Julian might have caused the incident, he did not want to say it without concrete evidence.

But whether it was Julian or not, Oliver was now wealthy, and it would be easy for him to make money in the future. Since he had enough money, it was best to take precautions first. It was better to be safe than sorry, as one should not wait until danger crept up and get tortured by villains before setting up safeguards.
