Chapter 202 Means a Lot
Zayla thought, I think there is more to it.
Marlowe’s walking stick is worth at least 1.6 million dollars. If those people did it for money, it didn’t make sense.
No matter how stupid kidnappers are, they definitely know that rich people’s stuff isn’t cheap, not to mention that Mr. Gladstone’s walking stick has a huge piece of white jade on it.
Yet they didn’t care about the delicate walking stick at all, so they let it fall to the ground…
However, it was only her presumption, so she didn’t say or ask much.
She was glad that those people were captured, and that Marlowe was safe.
Just as Zayla and Lincoln walked out of the hospital, Aziel happened to arrive driving the Alphard.
Zayla had called Ira in advance who showed up in her BMW at the same time.
Zayla beat Lincoln to it and said, “Mr. Nash, now that you have a ride, I’ll go
home.”
After she finished speaking, she quickly walked toward the BMW.
Lincoln thought, she is going home without me giving her a ride.
Well, that makes sense. After all, I’m a kept gigolo, and of course, she doesn’t
want others to see me.
Lincoln chuckled and stood in situ, watching her get in the car.
He didn’t leave until the BMW pulled away.
After Zayla sat in the car, she immediately called Marlowe. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Mr. Gladstone, I’ve thought it through!” Her tone was very cheerful.
Marlowe grinned. “Is that so? Tell me. I’ll say yes to anything, as long as it’s something I have.”
“Mr. Gladstone, I want to mine your old jade mine.”
Marlowe, who was on the other end of the line, instantly fell silent. However, he had already made a promise, and he couldn’t go back on his words.
“If you want raw jade, I can give you plenty. I can even get you some fine jade for collection.”
Zayla truthfully told him, “Mr. Gladstone, I made the request for the sake of Snow Building’s reconstruction. I need fine raw jade, and it has to be top quality. You know better than anyone how big the gap is between the new and
old mines.”
Marlowe sighed, “Zayla, to tell you the truth, I’m not the mine’s sole owner. There are two other bosses besides me. So, even if I say yes, it won’t count anyway.”
“Mr. Gladstone, can you tell me their names?”
“I’m sure that one of them will say yes. However, the other one is Mrs. Vaughan. I don’t think I can help you with that.”
“Mr. Gladstone, I might as well give it a go.”
Then Marlowe gave Zayla Felipa’s address.
Zayla thought, I now know that Mrs. Vaughan lives near San Diego, the largest jade field. San Diego is very close to the mine. Looks like she has been guarding the jade mine.
It’s obvious that the mine means a lot to her.
The Vaughan family wasn’t part of Houston’s upper class, so Zayla did not know much about them.
She called Leroy and asked him to do some digging about the Vaughan family.
Then she instructed Ira.
Hearing Zayla’s words, Ira was utterly frightened.
“Zayla… I won’t dare!” Ira was so scared that he stuttered.
“What are you afraid of? He is the special expert Twilight Studio has invited. So what? He is still the studio’s employee, right? Any employee should obey the company’s arrangement. Why are you so panicking?
Ira’s legs were trembling. “I’m sure Mr. Nash isn’t just a man with an ordinary background. Zayla, I am not you. I’m not that bold.”
“So, I’ve been trying to make you bolder. See? Here comes your chance.”
Ira was speechless.
He thought, I have a strong feeling. By seizing this chance, I’ll be in great trouble…
Then Zayla booked a ticket to San Diego.
She packed her luggage and headed straight to the airport.
She was about to board the plane.
