Chapter 464 My Woman Is The Smartest
Thomas and Yeva missed the opportunity because they thought the rinds on the rock looked ugly.
That was how they missed the greatest opportunity ever.
Never in their life would they expect that there would be imperial jade lying underneath the unappealing facade.
Although it was small, it was worth hundreds of millions.
Thomas almost gave himself a slap in the face. Everything would be different if he had chosen that rock earlier on.
What everyone just witnessed had never once happened in that black market’s stone-gambling’s site. No one had ever won three consecutive rounds, let alone scoring imperial jade.
This is just crazy!
This is a miracle!
Onlookers found it hard to believe that they were seeing the impossible happening before their very eyes.
As for Yandel, he smiled proudly knowing Natalie was totally capable of impressing the crowd even when she did not seem to care about how others thought of her.
All she cared about was exacting revenge on Thomas and Yeva.
“Mr. Nichols, if I remember correctly, you were considering the last rock I chose, weren’t you?” Natalie asked with a hint of provocation in her voice. “Thank you for not choosing it in the end. I wouldn’t have gotten this imperial jade if it weren’t for you.”
Natalie was rubbing salt into his wound.
It dawned upon him that he and Yeva did not even pay attention to Natalie while they were picking stones, but Natalie, on the other hand, had been following their every move.
Now that she pointed out what she observed earlier, it was obvious that she was trying to rub it in.
Thomas finally lost it. “You’d better watch your tongue, young lady.”
“Excuse me,” Yandel interrupted, putting his hand on Natalie’s shoulder. “What did she say that was wrong? You have only yourself to blame for your loss. Don’t tell me a few hundred of million was too much for you to lose. You should be ready to lose some money when you bet, so there’s no good reason for you to be lashing out at her when things didn’t go your way.”
“How dare you!”
Thomas was incensed. He could not understand how life could treat them so differently. There were both in this gamble together, yet their lucks were completely opposite.
Now that he lost a huge sum of money, Thomas was caught in a tight spot. If he used money from the company, he would have to account for it; if he used his private fund, he would have to answer to his wife.
Thomas was not a gambler himself, but he had no idea what got into him that day that he just followed his heart instead of his mind, so much so that he lost the whole amount of liquid cash he owned.
Now that he thought about it, he figured there was something wrong with everything that had happened.
No one actually forced him to gamble, yet he felt like he was strung along all this while.
“We’re leaving!” Thomas shouted as he pulled Yeva out go the black market.
Yeva, knowing full well that Thomas suffered a great loss because of her, followed him without objecting.
When Natalie saw them leaving in a shameful fashion, a wide smile appeared on her face.
Serve you right!
The thought of Thomas having to face his livid wife made her laugh.
After she savored those thoughts, Yandel asked her what she wanted to do with the three pieces of jade.
“Just sell them. You take the amount you spent to buy those rocks and donate the rest in Dream Corporation’s name.”
“Donate everything?” It was not that Yandel did not want to contribute to society. It was just that he felt reluctant to just give away everything.
“Yeah, you heard me right. Don’t be too greedy. This is not rightful gain anyway, so we should make proper use of it. Besides, it’s not like I am strapped. There are people who need this more than I do.”
Once again, Yandel was convinced that Natalie was the most admirable person he had ever met.
“All right. I will do as you said.”
Meanwhile, although Samuel was not present at the scene, he saw everything Natalie did during stone-gambling.
His eyes flickered with pride as he rubbed his lips, looking at the woman on the screen.
He never knew that Natalie knew a thing or two about jade.
