“You must not be fooled by him. He’s been overconfident ever since he had received an award from our mayor after performing a successful surgery for him. He’s just a boastful fellow!”
Jason straight away exposed everything about Luther.
“Sigh! Why do you keep twisting my words?”
Rolling his eyes, Luther was displeased and kept grumbling within himself. Jason, you really have a big mouth! Since you have revealed everything about me, how can I brag again later? You are such a spoiler!
“Alright, let’s go. They’re still waiting for us in the private room.” Hannah said placidly and headed for the private room right away.
“Alright, let’s go.” Jason also strode at once to catch up with her.
As something crossed his mind, he told Hannah, “Hannah, don’t worry. We surely won’t sustain any loss this round. The woman who was competing against us at the bidding session for the mystery item had indirectly enabled us to save quite a lot of money!
Helen suddenly had a clearer picture of the whole circumstance and commented, “Ah! It seems we have to thank that woman in a way. If not because of her, Fabian will surely need to pay a larger sum, which is about an additional fifty percent of the exact market value. By then, he would have sustained a greater loss!”
“You’ve got it! Anyway, the exact amount to be paid is not an issue. What matters the most, black diamond is really rare and hard to be obtained,” Luther agreed.
Hannah shook her head as a sense of bitterness crept into her heart. No matter how Jason was trying to convince her that they had actually gained in a way instead of sustaining a great loss, Hannah’s heart was still filled with complex emotions. She could not resist feeling guilty for causing Fabian to spend thirty million within such as short span of time.
At the same time, she could not explain why her heart was filled with indecipherable complex emotions. By right I shouldn’t be feeling troubled by this, since we are now officially husband and wife after the wedding ceremony. It’s just natural for my own hubby to buy me a gift, isn’t it?
“Pray that we shall be blessed,” Jason said jokingly to Helen.
If Lyna knew about the exact circumstance at the moment, she would surely pop a blood vessel.
In the meantime, Lyna had just sent the skimpily dressed woman off. She was waiting for Yvette in one of the private rooms of the nightclub.
“If everything goes on smoothly as planned, we should have settled the things with Jaxon. As for my side here, I have managed to set Fabian up. He’s spending so much on nothing!” Laughing scornfully, Lyna was over the moon at the moment.
She was pretty sure that both Hannah and Fabian would be trapped by her brilliant plan. She totally had no idea that things had turned the other way round. Instead of setting up Fabian to spend more on the mystery item, he had actually indirectly saved more because of her.
“Huh? Yvette is still not back yet? Could she be facing some hiccups? If she can’t get such a simple matter done, then I won’t need to waste my time on her again next round. What an incompetent woman!” Lyna continued ranting about Yvette’s inefficiency.
When Lyna was about to call her, the door of the private room was pushed open. Her eyes lit up as Yvette’s figure came into view the next moment.
“How’s it? Did you manage to get the video clip?” she asked Yvette anxiously.
“Yeah, the video clip is right here.” She handed her phone to Lyna.
Lyna played the video clip at once. Her lips curved up into a sly smile at the sight of the man and woman who were engrossed in their passionate moments.
She complimented Yvette with satisfaction, “Well done! Now we can instruct Jaxon to carry out anything for us!”
“By the way, when are we meeting him?”
Even though Yvette had her mission accomplished, she was not delighted at all. There was even a sense of inexplicable anxiety on her face.
She was sure that it was just a matter of time for Fabian to seek her out for payback, as he had found out that she was the one who harmed Hannah earlier. Her temples started to throb, fearing how Fabian would strike back at her.
“Let’s get it settled now. I predict that Fabian will take action tomorrow. Hence, we’d better be prepared and don’t drag any longer. Give Jaxon a call now and ask him out to meet us.”
In the other private room of Bluebird nightclub, the liveliness was totally different from the tense atmosphere of the one where both women were at. Even Fabian was laughing heartily at Helen and Jason’s jokes.
Luther lifted his wine glass and finished his wine in one gulp. Staring at everyone, he said sincerely, “Both Fabian and Hannah have just gotten married. It’s considered their wedding night tonight. As a token of congratulation, don’t you think that we should clink glass with them?”
