“Jewelry store?” Adelaide inquired meaningfully. “The jewelry store you opened with Madison?”

“Of course! A gold jewelry store that’s been open for several years. It's never made a profit, and | have to keep

Priscilla suddenly stopped, realizing that her words exposed her poor investment sense and were damaging to

her pride.

She quickly changed her tune, “But in business, there are losses and profits. It's normal. You wouldn't

understand. Starting a business is hard, and maintaining it is even harder. It will make a profit eventually.”

Adelaide smiled, her jaw clenching with frustration, yet she still responded mildly, “You're right. In business,

there are always gains and losses. Oh, by the way, is the jewelry store a fifty-fifty partnership between you and

them? Have you signed a contract? Have you ever seen the books since it opened?”

“Oh? You have the majority stake? Then if there's a loss, you have to subsidize more, don’t you? How much have

you invested over the years? Have you kept track?” Priscilla asked.

“Of course I've kept track. Every expense is recorded,” Priscilla replied.

Adelaide thought to herself, “That's good,” and said, “Have you remembered the total amount invested?”

Priscilla responded impatiently, “Who would memorize all the numbers? | can only chec roughly tens of millions

Priscilla was right, but the word “we” was inappropriate.

Lance was already furious—tens of millions of dollars invested with no return. When preparing for the mating

ceremony, he and Caldwell had visited all the gold shops in the capital with Ralph. The most successful was the

“Royal Gold Shop.” Madison's jewelry store always copied its designs and had a poor reputation.

But due to the similar styles and lower prices, business was actually good. It was impossible to be losing money

to the point of needing subsidies.

Adelaide was also aware of this but didn’t want to expose it now. The priority was to retrieve the pink diamonds.

Lance ordered the carriage prepared. To prevent his mother from bragging at Madison’s house first, he took her

back to the palace with him.

The convoy consisted of three carri one for Lance and Adelaide, one for Priscilla and Susan, and

one for Ivy, Beata, and Jasmine.

Priscilla, however, was displeased. Why didn’t Clarissa admonish Adelaide to take good care of her mate? Did

Clarissa, of course, saw right through her sister's irritation.

When Lance and Adelaide went to pay respects to Lycan Erasmus, she detained Priscilla and Susan.
