The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

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.
