Chapter 461 This Is Supposed To Be Hers

After that, Yandel went to see to it that Natalie’s order was carried out.

He and Thomas placed their respective orders for about ten pieces of jade stones each.

The seller weighed the items and named the price. Yandel readily took out about a few million and made his payment, but as for Thomas, his expression betrayed his reluctance. What a waste of money. It will all go to the drain if there’s no jade at all.

I’d rather buy a handbag than stones that do not even promise any returns.

Thomas thought the whole thing was purely a gamble of fate, but he could not go back on his word since that would be too shameful for him. Besides, Yeva was constantly sweet-talking to him, so he had no other choice but to proceed with the plan.

Now that they made the payment, the final step would be to reveal the results.

“Mr. Nichols,” Natalie said, “there is only one machine to carve out the stone. What about I go first?”

“Why not?” Thomas replied, so Natalie went ahead and picked one stone and asked two of the workers to carry it over.

First, they ran some water over the raw stone to bring down its temperature. Then, they used a sharp and spinning handsaw blade to cut through it.

Everyone awaited the outcome anxiously as the workers set to work. Usually, the chances of having jade in raw stones were rare.

About ten years ago, Natalie saved an outlaw’s wife.

In return for her kindness, he taught her all the tricks he knew about stone-gambling. That was how Natalie came to know about this craft and the ways to go about swaying luck to her side.

Within a few minutes, Natalie’s stones were all processed, but to her dismay, her endeavor was fruitless.

Eight out of them turned out to be just regular stones, while the other three were small yellow jades. Their colors did not look promising and could only be sold for about tens of thousands in the market.

Yandel spent millions on the pile, but only clawed back tens of thousands of returns. They were running a huge loss.

Yandel was startled when he found out about the result. He had no idea what Natalie was trying to do since given her capability, there was no way she would make such a glaring mistake.

Natalie looked over at him and complained, “What are you looking at? I thought you said you’d do anything to make me happy just now? Don’t tell me you’re regretting spending the money now. I’m buying more! I just don’t believe I can’t have luck on my side today.”

Yandel was not in the position to stop her.

“Sure. Go ahead.”

Natalie looked at him with confidence. “Just you wait and see. I will make sure I bring some real good jade home today,” she promised, patting his shoulder.

When Thomas saw that Yandel had made a fool out of himself when he lost the best, he came over and talked smugly. “It seems like your lover is running low on luck today. I hope things get better for both of you in the later round.”

What an *sshole. Yandel cursed at the old man in his heart, but for courtesy’s sake, he still smiled at him. “Thanks, I hope so.”

After Yandel’s stones were all checked, it was time to move on to Thomas and Yeva’s stones.

Since this was Yeva’s first stone-gambling experience, she was so nervous she held on to Thomas’ hand.

Likewise, the man was equally fidgety. He was afraid that things would turn out just like what happened to Yandel. If that happened, it meant that he had invested a fortune in some trash.

The first six jade stones were disappointing.

Four of them were just regular stones, and the other two were studded with yellow jade. Even so, the color was worse than Natalie’s, and could only be sold for a negligible amount of money.

When Thomas and Yeva saw the workers hauling the seventh stone over to the machine, they prayed earnestly in their hearts that there would be jade in it.

They held their breath as the workers cut through the crust of the stone. When they saw what they had been waiting for so far, the seller looked up, crying out, “There is jade in this one!”

A streak of bell rings followed immediately.

When Yeva heard the bells, the was so excited she shrieked in joy. “Honey! We got it! I told you we would get lucky today!”

“You’re so smart, Honey!” Thomas was over the moon as well. He hugged Yeva and gave her a big sloppy kiss on the cheek. “You’re my lucky star!”

Thomas had already given up on unrealistic expectations when the first six stones turned out to be just rock. He harbored no hope of ever recovering his loss, but when he found out that the impossible just happened, he was exhilarated beyond measure.

Meanwhile, Yandel was disgruntled when the result was announced.

No one knew better than him that the seventh stone belonged to Natalie.

The jade expert went on the stage to talk about the piece of jade.

According to his observation, he said that it was premium jade despite the uneven color of the jade. However, given that there were impure composites on the side of the jade, that would be a big setback for asking for a higher selling price in the market, yet despite all this, this single piece was worth tens of millions.

Thomas took the jade over, rubbing its surface with a victorious and greedy grin on his face.
