The nation's largest jade counterfeiting scandal had erupted, with Aethelgard as its epicenter. All jewelry stores selling jade accessories were inspected one by one by the relevant authorities. The results were shocking. To everyone's surprise, many well-known jewelry stores were not spared. The better-off ones had only a few fakes in their shops; the worse-off ones had stores where more than half the inventory was counterfeit!
These findings stunned the public. Massive crowds of consumers gathered in front of major jewelry stores, demanding compensation! For a time, the jade market descended into chaos. A large number of jewelers went bankrupt one after another, and the stock market began to fluctuate wildly. This was the opportunity Seraphina Sterling had been waiting for!
She had been up almost all night, making final preparations. The stock market was in for a massive upheaval tomorrow!
「The next morning.」
