At a crowded stone market, Ms. Lynd impulsively pays 6 million for a pile of scrap stones and draws ridicule as a young cutter known as the brat starts cutting. He uncovers a rare rose-red glow jade worth 2M, then a dud. Rivals raise the stakes: bet whether the last scrap can produce 8M; loser must leave Cindy and never return, while a win hands over 10M and the rival vows to vanish. The final cut looks dead, then reveals a Supreme violet grape agate worth 3M—still short, leaving the wager and Cindy's fate unresolved.
