Chapter 460 Making Small Sacrifices For Big Gains
Thomas finally took a good look at Natalie.
Thomas did not even pay attention to her the last time she came to his place with Yandel.
Now that she spoke, Thomas observed her and realized that her demeanor was no second to Yandel
himself.
Not only were her features exquisite, but she also gave off a forbidding and confident vibe, compelling
people around her to listen to her.
Since Thomas got to where he was today because of the Bayer family, he had things easy for most of his
life. This was the first time he felt he was ensnared by someone younger than him.
When Yeva heard what Natalie had to say, she stomped and complained, “I don’t want handbags! I want
to buy some jade stones. I insist on that! It’s either you get me that or you sleep with your old wife for the
rest of your life. I’m not seeing you ever again.”
Yandel sniggered. “Aw, Mr. Nichols, it seems like this lady is angry. You should do something. These
stones aren’t that expensive. Besides, who knows you’ll really lucky today? I would just buy a few if I
were you.”
Thomas was caught between a stone and a hard place. On one hand, his mistress was pressuring him;
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton the other, Yandel was projecting himself as if he knew better.
The bells were ringing at the stone-gambling site.
This further stoked Thomas to take a rash decision. “All right! Let’s try our luck today!”
“Yay! I knew you wouldn’t let me down!” Yeva exclaimed in thrill when the final verdict was given.
A sly smirk curved on Natalie’s lips.
Finally, she could see sweet revenge delivered. She felt the hatred in her heart could finally be
appeased.
Meanwhile, Samuel had been watching the four of them closely. He had got his new cup of tea, and
Weston was pedantically attending to him.
He realized that Samuel had not taken his eyes off the screen ever since he started watching it. In fact,
Samuel did not even spare a look at Weston.
“Mr. Bowers—”
“Stop talking.”
Before Weston could continue his explanation, he was already cut off.
He looked at Samuel helplessly, not knowing what his next recourse should be.
Samuel was already in a foul mood when Yandel put his arm around Natalie’s shoulder.
Yandel was Natalie’s trusted confidant and employee. Besides, Natalie and Yandel must be up to an
important task now that she put on a mask, so Samuel could not help but wonder what was it that moved
the both of them to take such a resort, but it still vexed him as time passed.
Although Samuel knew it was all an act, he still felt an urge to go over and just cut off Yandel’s arm.
Calm down, they must be doing this for a good reason, but seriously, do they have to do this?
Why must they even be having such skinship?
The veins on Samuel’s forehead bulged in agitation. He lifted his arm and sat back, but again, he
accidentally pushed the cup off the table, yet he did not seem to be perturbed at all.
On the contrary, Weston was the one who hunkered down to pick up the pieces. The earlier cup was of a
phenomenal price, yet this cup was even way more precious.
“Achoo!”
Again, Yandel sneezed.
“Did you catch a cold?” Natalie asked.
“No. I just feel like my nose is itchy.”
Yandel had a premonition that Samuel had already blacklisted him.
This kind of sixth sense might sound unbelievable to some, so Yandel did not share his concern with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie.
The two couples walked over to the place where people sold jade stones.
Yandel waited patiently as Natalie picked a few stones.
He was aware that Natalie knew what she was doing. Although Natalie’s skills might have gotten rusty
after so many years, he still believed that she would be able to help him break even.
As for Thomas and Yeva, the latter was a dilettante when it came to jade stones.
She could only judge based on the outer patterns of those stones, going with those which looked the
most appealing.
She chose those with beautiful rinds and made up her mind. “I want these. I think we’ll get some jade
from one of these stones.”
Since Thomas had already given his word, he went ahead and placed an order for those stones without
weighing in his opinions.
As for Natalie, he gestured at Yandel and waited for him to lean closer before she whispered in his ear.
“Ask Ross to arrange with the seller to change the sequence of the jade stones. Also, ask the seller to
exchange Thomas’ seventh stone with my seventh one.”
“Why?”
Natalie shot him an evil smile. “I’m making small sacrifices for big gains.”
