Chapter 152 Were you familiar with this place?
Natalie felt a bit anxious when she saw that the woman hadn’t come yet. She spoke to one of the bodyguards, “Can you help me?”
The two remained unmoved. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Natalie sighed and casually took off the pearl necklace from her neck, holding it in her hand.
The pearls were and shiny in the dazzling sunlight, giving it a luxurious appearance.
She put the pearl necklace in front of the bodyguard in a gentle voice, “Please inform the dean for
me.”
The bodyguard lowered his head in response to the words.
But he just glanced at it and then stood back expressionless as before.
How much money could a string of pearl necklaces be worth? If it was an unknown true or false one, it was even less valuable.
Seeing the appearance of them showing no interest at all, Natalie had some anticipation in her heart. She calmly continued speaking, “I bought this pearl necklace from abroad.”
“The pearls are worth tens of thousands dollars. How much is a string of pearls like this?” Natalie blinked as if she couldn’t figure it out.
She took the necklace in front of them again and said, “Can you help me calculate how much this
string of pearls is worth?”
A pearl was worth tens of thousands dollars? Was it so valuable? This necklace also had at least a
dozen pearls!
Wasn’t that over a hundred thousand dollars?
The two bodyguards couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. A necklace was worth their salary for
several years!
“How about it? How much is it really worth?” Natalie looked at them, and the hint in her eyes was
self-evident.
One of the bodyguards was the first to lose the battle, and he answered first, “Miss, if a pearl costs tens of thousands dollars, then this necklace should be worth at least hundreds of thousands
dollars.”
As he spoke, he wanted to take the necklace from Natalie’s hand and put it into his pants pocket.
“Wait!” Natalie noticed his movements and raised her eyebrows, retracting her hand as the bodyguard reached out.
The bodyguard caught nothing.
Natalie held the necklace back in her hand, and her tone changed from slightly frivolous to serious. “I’ll give you the necklace, and can you let me in?”
The woman had been away for so long but hadn’t returned, and Natalie estimated in her heart that it was possible that she was inspired by the dean. It seemed that the dean did not welcome her.
But she must go in today, and the matter of the funding chain couldn’t be delayed.
“Of course!” The bodyguard said excitedly. Who would be struggling with money?
Natalie nodded as she heard what she wanted, then placed it in front of the bodyguard, “Here you
are.”
The bodyguard happily reached out to pick it up, smiling happily.
“What are you doing?” Before he could reach out, he was hit hard by the bodyguard next to him,
and his hand was also slapped back.
Even Natalie was startled.
He was stunned by the slap, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He covered his head with his hand and spoke angrily, “Damn it! Why are you hitting me?”
“She said it was worth over a hundred thousand dollars yuan, so you believe it. What if it was fake?” The bodyguard looked angry and worried.
Natalie frowned at the words and said, “Don’t worry, it’s definitely not fake. If you don’t believe it, you can go check it out.” She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that the bodyguard was
conscientious, unwilling to accept this necklace.”
“How can we go to investigate now?” The person glared at her with a disdainful tone and full of
questioning.
Natalie smiled and took out Maybach’s car key from her bag. She shook it in front of them and said, “If you don’t know the pearl necklace, you should know this key? Do you think anyone who can
afford to drive this car would choose to wear a fake pearl necklace?”
The bodyguard, who had just looked incredulous, suddenly changed his idea.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard remembered the car that had just parked at the door and said,
“This lady did indeed drive the highest configuration Maybach! I saw it.”
Natalie hooked her lips and put the necklace into one of the hands, coaxing them again, “So can! go in now?”
“Of course, come in.” They immediately believed in Natalie. They bowed their heads and spoke respectfully, sighing in their hearts that they had really had a good luck today!
Natalie’s eyelashes trembled lightly, nodded slightly, and then turned her head to give Hugh a look.
Hugh immediately understood Natalie’s gaze, took advantage and threw the black umbrella to the two bodyguards.
The umbrella curved in the air, and one of the bodyguards quickly caught it and held it in his arms. While holding it, he spoke in a complimentary tone, “Come in please.” He didn’t feel offended by Hugh’s actions at all.
Natalie and Hugh walked into this building one after another.
Two bodyguards stood in place, watching their backs gradually disappear from their sight. The bodyguard holding a black umbrella kept touching the umbrella in his arms, his eyes excited. The umbrella must also be valuable and might also be worth a lot of money.
Natalie walked into this building, which was very large, but there was no one else besides the
servants, making it look empty.
They walked forward without any obstacles. The servant inside didn’t change much when they saw them, and they were treated as distinguished guests invited by the dean.
After all, which intruder would swagger along the hallway without feeling guilty at all?
Natalie walked quickly along the corridor, but suddenly stopped. She looked at the sudden fork in
the road ahead and was confused. She didn’t know where the dean was.
Hugh suddenly spoke with a calm tone, “Follow me.” He walked up to Natalie.
This was one of the few proactive remarks made by Hugh. Natalie blinked and said, “Do you know where the dean is? Are you familiar with this place?”
Hugh seemed very familiar with the layout here.
“I’ve followed my previous employer,” Hugh strode forward and casually replied, with Natalie closely following.
“Oh, that’s it.” Natalie nodded without any doubt.
They walked north all the way to the end of the corridor, and then got on the elevator. Hugh skillfully pressed the button on the top floor and the elevator went up.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a fragrance of tea filled the air.
Due to perennial pharmaceutical, Natalie had a keen sense of smell. She frowned when she smelled the fragrance of tea. The smell was so familiar? She seemed to have smelled it before.
But where exactly did she smell it? Natalie carefully recalled it, but couldn’t remember it.
“This is it.” Hugh stopped his steps.
Natalie raised her eyes at the sound and looked at the wooden door made of ancient wood in front of her. Without hesitation, she clasped her fingers and knocked on the door.
Because she came today as Mrs. Graham, there was nothing to be afraid of. For the sake of the Graham family’s face, Hazel International Hospital would definitely not take action against her.
The woman who opened the door was very young in a cheongsam that complemented the fragrance of tea that permeated the air, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
But her next move completely shattered Natalie’s first impression of her and also shattered Natalie’s simple thoughts just now.
