Chapter 871: Chapter 874

Chapter 874 The Casino Part Six In truth, Natalie felt her experience wasn’t that different.

Over the last two years, she didn’t know what true love was until she experienced it herself. Unfortunately, the happiness she thought she held in her hands was cruelly taken away.

She had also wondered if it would be less painful during separation if she and Samuel never loved each other. Nonetheless, one could never change the past. Whatever regrets one had, one had to just bear with it.

“Natalie.”

“Anna, you have seen for yourself the result of the bet. Thus, you belong to me now.” Lifting Anna’s chin with her fingers, Natalie wiped the former’s tears dry. “Life is short, so I don’t want to see those close to me depressed all the time. We should always look forward to the future, isn’t that right?”

“D-Do I still have a future?”

“I don’t know.” After a brief pause, Natalie continued, “You are in no position to answer in your current condition. As for me, I don’t need your answer yet.”

“Thank you.”

Anna’s emotions weren’t stable yet.

All of a sudden, she thought of something and exclaimed, “The baby! My daughter is still at home. After slapping him, he might vent his anger on her!”

Natalie instructed, “Yandel, accompany Anna home and bring the baby out.”

“No problem, leave it to me.”

“Lia, go with Yandel,” Natalie ordered Lia. “Also, take good care of Anna.”

“Sure.” Even though it was her first time meeting Anna, she sympathized with what the latter had been through.

Before Anna left, Natalie said to her, “I’ll give you three days to get a grip of yourself. After that, I want to see you at Dream.”

Anna was stunned for a fleeting moment before she nodded with conviction.

With that, Yandel and Lia left Fullmoon together with Anna.

Meanwhile, as Natalie remained at the lounge and sipped her cocktail, a pair of predatory eyes was observing her nearby.

“Mr. Stone, which girl managed to catch your eye?” One of Amos Stone’s subordinates asked when he noticed the intensity of Amos’ gaze.

Brushing his fingers across his lips, Amos’ eyes glistened in excitement, for he had just witnessed the episode between Natalie and Caleb.

Even though the gamble was nothing to shout about, she outshines every other scantily dressed lady in the entire casino. The calm look on her face is a testament to the unshakeable conviction she possesses. When she gave the gambler three slaps, she had managed to strike a chord within me. There are plenty of pretty girls, but few have an invigorating soul just like hers.

“Mr. Stone, do you want me to get her to...” the subordinate inquired.

“Mmm-hmm.” Amos nodded. “Tell her to name her price for spending the night with me.”

“Right away!”

Natalie was naturally oblivious to what had just happened and the fact that she had caught the attention of someone vicious.

The only reason she chose to stay back longer was that she had just caught a glimpse of something silver.

She wanted to verify if she had made a mistake or if Xander had coincidentally come to Yaleview at the same time she did.

At that moment, her phone rang.

When she saw that it was Steven on the line, she answered, “Hello?”

“Natalie, have you arrived in Yaleview? Have you settled down already?” Steven asked in concern.

“Yes, I have,” Natalie replied with a smile. “In fact, I’m drinking in Yaleview’s biggest club right now.”

“Don’t forget to mind your drinking while you enjoy yourself.”

“Don’t worry. I know my limits.” As she gently fiddled with her cocktail glass, she feigned a casual tone and asked, “Steven, let me ask you, is your brother in Dellmoor?”
