With this matter settled, Cedar Town immediately looked at Westfield and smiled,“How should I address you?"

"I am Ryan Mitchell!" Westfield once again stated his mother's surname.

Cedar Town invited,“Mr. Keith, how about coming to my office for a chat?”

Westfield glanced at Frances beside him.

Frances whispered in a low tone, “Cedar Town is a known expert in the industry, specializing in jade but also knowledgeable about other types of gemstones. If you want to find out about that bead's origin, maybe you could ask him."

"Alright, thank you!" Westfield's heart stirred,and he promptly agreed.

In Cedar Town's office, Westfield's enormous jade was carefully placed on a large countertop. Cedar Town held a magnifying glass as he focused on inspecting the vivid green jade, occasionally exclaiming in admiration.

Westfield and Frances sat nearby, sipping tea. However, it wasn't until 30minutes later that Cedar Town remembered their presence and reluctantly looked away from the jade.

He apologized, “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting! I just absolutely adore jade stones, so I hope you understand."

"No problem. Since the association's president has already examined my jade,I actually have a little bead here that I'd like you to check," Westfield said as he put down his teacup and took the small bead of his pouch,handing it directly to Cedar Town.
