Seraphina decided to set the matter aside for now; business was more important. "Mr. Gallagher, how has Jade Pavilion's strength recovered?"
Felix Gallagher narrowed his eyes. "If you need something, just say it. If it's something I can do, I'll definitely help."
"The jewelers in Aethelgard have been expanding rapidly lately, especially Sutton Jewelry. Their main business is also jade jewelry, but they were hit hard by that massive fake jade scandal. The company was nearly forced out of business; in fact, several of the Suttons' Aethelgard stores shut down completely. But after the case blew over, those stores gradually reopened. By all accounts, the Suttons should have suffered devastating losses. How have they recovered so quickly, in less than a year? And why does it seem like they're on the verge of surpassing their previous profits?"
This was something Seraphina hadn't been able to uncover. 'What kind of backing does Sutton Jewelry have?'
