    Third Person’s POV


    Prisci’s emotions were all over her face.


    But now, she’d learned to put on a show in front of Madison.


    +5 Free <b>Coins </b>


    Her pheromones quivered with emotional fluctuations, finally sighing helplessly as cedar notes gently brushed Prisci’s hair.


    Adide said no more, first ordering food for her.


    After Prisci ate, Adide spoke, “Fetch the partnership contract for me. We need to check for loopholes and prepare ordingly.”


    Prisci’s eyes welled up. “What if there are loopholes?”


    “There’s always a way. Hand it over first.”


    Adide turned to Susan, knowing where the contract was kept.


    Soon, Susan returned with it.


    Adide read the contract three times from start to finish, finding no issues–it was fair.


    As for the shareholders, Prisci used Susan’s name, while Wanda used Johnson’s–he was her servant.


    Noblewomen in business often didn’t use their own names.


    Official procedures were a hassle, and there was the issue of avoiding public exposure.


    They’d use a husband, son, trusted omega, or sérvant as a front.


    Prisci and Wanda naturally didn’t use their own names–money was tempting, but they were nobility. As long as they held the contract, who the shares were registered under didn’t matter.


    “Any problems?” Prisci asked anxiously after Adide’s thorough review.


    “None whatsoever,” Adide replied, her gazeplicated.


    Prisci bristled at Adide’s look.


    “If there are no problems, why are you staring at me like that?”


    Adide wanted to say that if Madison and Wanda hadn’t even bothered to hi showed how easy they thought Prisci was to manipte.

    But she held her tongue to avoid another tearful outburst.


    “It’s a good thing,” Adide said firmly, pocketing the contract.


    “We’ll visit Madison tonight. Keep Johnson in custody tonight to prevent him from warning them. Ralph’s

    already on it no one from the Golden Jewelry Stone can leak informenton


    “So soon?” Prisci was still findsted by Madison and Wande


    “We need to act how


    Adide’s tone softened as the noticed Prisci’s red eyes “Don’t ere Ells with you I ke responsibility


    Prisci’s voice was hoarse and vulnerable. Im counting on you. Tell Lance not to be angry with me


    She no longer referred to herself as a priestess, her usual arrogance gone reced by a touch of coyner


    Adide shuddered at this sudden disy of vulnerability from someone who usually carried herself with such pride.


    In the evening, the finance room delivered all ounts to Adide for review


    This year’s profit <b>was </b>impressive–over seven million three hundred thousand dors before rounding


    Combined with previous years, it totaled over twenty million


    The store had made a fortune by copying the Royal Jewelry Store’s designs.


    Also, imitation had low costs. The purity of materials couldn’t match the originals, which allowed for lower prices while still securing healthy profit margins.


    The store had leveraged budget–friendly jewelry to drive sales volume and enhance brand recognition had etched itself into the minds of merchants and everyday shoppers as a ce that offered both affordability and fashion. And that had been enough.


    Adide checked the expenditure and found the costs for materials and finished products suspiciously low.


    The “pure gold jewelry might not be as pure as advertised, possibly just gold–ted.


    In a few years, when the gold tarnished andints poured in, Susan, holding a 70% stake, would be first in the line of fire.


    This jewelry store was no longer viable.


    After some thought, Adide ordered Johnson brought to the side hall for questioning.


    The side hall had a firece with a poker heating up, its tip glowing red.


    At the sight, Johnson nearly wet himself, kneeling down instantly. “Luna Ade me!”


    spare me! Please spare


    Adide sat calmly. “Who’s talking about taking your life? Just answer my questions truthfully.” Johnson nodded frantically. “Vil tell you everything.”


    Adide scanned the purchase ledger. “Did Wanda know about these cheap, low–quality goods

    “Yes, she instructed it personally.”


    “Did you warn her that impure gold could cause issues?”


    Johnson shifted his gaze. “I did warn her, but she said it didn’t matter. By the time problems arose, the store would be closed.”


    Adide sneered. “Close the store or shift the me to Prisci?”


    Johnson was speechless.


    Adide didn’t press further. “Since the store opened years ago, how have you handled customerints about impure gold?”


    Beta Ralph swung the red–hot poker threateningly.


    Johnson trembled. “We’ve been silencing them with cheap gifts. With this year’s booming business, Wanda ns to close the store after next August’s peak season.”
