Chapter 743 The Chosen One

Hayley’s POV:

13 Pearls

“What are you doing here, Hayley? Rock betting isn’t like anything else. If you don’t understand the game, it’d be useless no matter how much money you spend. Hey, don’t tell me you’re going to waste your money just to spite me!” Freya said sarcastically.

I replied with a sarcastic smile, “It’s not like I don’t have money to waste. I’ll just consider it charity. Besides, how could I miss out on such fun things?”

“Fun? It could make you go bankrupt at once! Even with a fortune, you’ll still end up losing all if you gamble here.”

Freya continued sarcastically, “You’ve lived your whole life out in that secluded place of Shadow Pack and you’re just an average Omega. It’s understandable if you don’t understand the tricks of rock betting. In the end, it’s all about gambling.”

I shrugged indifferently and replied, “You sugar-coated it like it’s so fancy, but it’s just a rock to me. For me, these so-called gems and jewels aren’t much different from the pebbles on the road.”

“Huh, what a clueless and arrogant person.” As I finished talking, the woman beside Freya scoffed at me. “You’re just a mediocre Omega, ignorant and inexperienced.

“Even the so-called Chosen One of Rock Betting Auction wouldn’t dare to be so dismissive about gemstones. But here you are bragging, what a big mouth.”

“The Chosen One?” I asked confusedly.

“These Omegas from the countryside are such a pain. Everything has to be taught. You never even heard of the Chosen One? I really don’t know how you got in here,” the woman mocked me mercilessly.

I glared at her and was about to retort when a bystander eagerly explained, “Three years ago at the Rock Betting Auction held by Winterbite Pack, a masked woman showed up out of nowhere. All the raw stones she bought revealed rare and high-grade sapphire.

“She totally crushed the renowned rock betting families and Alpha families present. After that, the industry started calling her the Chosen One, as in the gifted one.”

“That’s right. I was there that day too. She didn’t seem very old, but her presence wasn’t a bit less than any of those alphas. She’s calm, decisive, and sharp. Her vision and instincts were out of this world. I don’t think I could ever match it in my lifetime,” someone else added.

“But after that event, she vanished. No one’s seen her since. I doubt we’ll ever get the chance to watch her cut stone again.”

I listened to them, barely managing to control my shocked expression.

All that, just for this?

Was it that easy to become the Chosen One?

Basically, with just enough luck, everyone could be the Chosen One?

“I think all of you might be mistaken,” I said awkwardly.

“What do you mean?” The woman who’d been mocking me shot me a glance.

“I mean, maybe this so-called Chosen One everyone’s talking about doesn’t even really understand how rock betting works,” I said patiently.

Freya looked at me with utter disdain.

The woman beside her covered her mouth in mock surprise and laughed as she said, “Freya, your little Omega sister from the countryside is really something, huh?

“Even after hearing about the amazing things the Chosen One accomplished, she still says things like that? It’s hilarious!”

She slung her arm over Freya’s shoulder and said as if she was giving a friendly reminder, “Freya, for the sake of your family’s dignity, you’d better drag her home before she embarrasses the Sanders.”

Freya put on a pitiful expression and sighed. “I wish I could, Celine, but she’s my father’s biological daughter. What power do I have over her?”

“Be it biological or not, as her sister, you have every right to teach her a lesson,” Celine Walton sneered.

“If you won’t do it, I will. Someone’s got to teach this lowly Omega a lesson.”

With that, Celine was clearly convinced I was an easy target. She strutted over and raised her hand, with freshly done nails glinting as she aimed to slap me across the face.
