Vera Xavier knew this wasn't the right moment to question Nathaniel Nathan, so she simply smiled.
After they left the Sterling Family's residence, Nathaniel Nathan handed Vera Xavier a bankbook. "I sold the jade. I was worried you might need the money urgently. I didn't get a great price for it, but it should be enough to last you a long time."
Vera Xavier took the bankbook and glanced at it. She counted the digits in the balance, thought she must have made a mistake, and hurriedly counted them again. No, it was right—fifteen million!
'That kind of money would be a fortune even twenty years from now!'
Seeing her reaction, Nathaniel Nathan said disdainfully, "Country bumpkin."
Vera Xavier knew this was just his prickly, arrogant side showing and that he meant no real harm. She joked, "Wow, that's easy money. After I finish my college entrance exams, I'm going to Zartania to gamble on stones and strike it rich."
