I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Even Will, at this moment, was quite nervous as he stared at the most expensive scentedwood, the most expensive wood. His sister, Jenifer, was equally anxious.

If Jenifer and Will didn’t win any of the bets today, the loss of over 4 million dollars would be a small matter, but what they feared more was the repercussions of their failure, which could reach their father.

The Woods family wasn’t entirely united. Jenifer’s father had two brothers, all of whom had their eyes on her father’s position.

Besides, the ex-wife of Jenifer’s father and he had a son and a daughter, both of whom were not easy to deal with. Moreover, her father had an illegitimate son, which was not publicly acknowledged but known within the family, and he had a great affection for this boy in his teens.

The master craftsman also noticed the solemn expressions on Will and Jenifer’s faces. Nobody dared to say much, and he began cutting the wood along the marked lines.

All’eyes were fixed on the wood as the sawdust fell with the grating sound of the saw. This scentedwood was the largest, with the best external characteristics and the potential to significantly increase in value if a ghost face appeared.

After all, the larger the piece of wood, the larger the objects that can be made from it, and hence, the higher the value.

A few minutes later, the saw cut through the wood, and all eyes were fixed on the cut surface.

“Oh… there’s no… ghost face…”

Will’s heart sank as the most expensive scentedwood, which had all his hopes pinned on it, failed to reveal a ghost face with the first cut.

“Cut it again!” Will ordered the master craftsman with a grim expression.

Will is getting more nervous. What else could he do but instruct the craftsman to continue cutting at the wood?

One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces…

The craftsman kept cutting until the final piece, but not a trace of the ghost face appeared in the largest scentedwood.

The gamble was a complete failure.
