Getting into the car, Irish quickly called Daisy in New York to explain the progress, just as Joseph instructed in his letter.
After getting the stone, Irish did not return to the apartment but rushed to the white district of Cape Town and visited Tuell again.
The diamond store was not open because of Irish's phone call. Tuell closed the store early, and he waited for her in the back room, making tea.
The second thing Joseph told her to do was to get a pink diamond from Alston and trade it with Tuell for a turquoise diamond.
After seeing the contract signed by Alston, Tuell held the safe box, glanced at the pink diamond inside, and said, "It's priceless, comparable to my turquoise diamond."
