Willow Hale had heard from someone that Seraphina Sterling struck it rich gambling on stones the day before. Apparently, she cut open a piece of cucumber green jade, which had bosses scrambling to buy it. The Hale Family was currently facing a major crisis; their business was paralyzed, and the wealth they had accumulated over the years had been paid out as compensation to the various merchants suing them. The family was on the brink of collapse. They had paid out one sum after another, but Philip Hale was still stuck in a detention center.
The moment Willow Hale heard that even Seraphina Sterling could win big, she figured she could do the same. Grabbing her personal savings, she rushed over, full of excitement. The second she arrived, she ran right into Seraphina Sterling.
