Chapter 362

Haylan passed them the coffee with a humble and sincere attitude.

Mrs. Labenz and Harry did not suspect anything. They picked up the coffee and drank in

“Mom, please carry on your chat with them. I’ll go and work on my stocks now I guarantee that I’ll make a lot of money,” Haylan said.

He then came to Felicia’s side and whispered, “Mom, no matter what they say later, you can’t take out the emerald pendant. You must remember this”

With that, he gave a little nod to Mrs. Labenz and Harry and went upstairs.

Mrs. Labenz and Harry watched as Haylan left the room with their money. Their hearts were in pain.

That was 600 thousand dollars. And they were giving it to Haylan to squander it away. Their hearts ached.

At the same time, however, they were ecstatic and immediately became enthusiastic. They pulled Felicia into the hall and onto the sofa. They then began to ask about her affairs and well-being.

Felicia had never been treated like this before. Her eyes turned red on the spot, and tears welled up in her eyes.

All these years, all she had wanted was her mother’s care.

Now that her wish had finally come true, how could she not be touched?

Seeing that the tactic was effective. Mrs. Labenz and Harry pretended to show more care and affection for Felicia.

Especially Mrs. Labenz. She held Felicia’s hand and pretended to be guilty. “Felicia, what happened before was Mom’s fault. Mom mistrusted that astrologer.”

“Honestly. I don’t feel good every time I see you suffer.”

“You are still my child. My heart aches when I see you like that. I toss and turn every night, unable to sleep. My heart feels like it is being sliced open by a knife.

Mrs. Labenz even shed a few tears at the height of her dramatic acting.

“That’s right, Felicia. Every time Mom gave you the cold shoulder, she would feel miserable. She cries every night because she feels guilty toward you. However, she is unable to explain herself.”

Harry tried to make it sound as tragic as possible. “Mom gets depressed whenever she sees you suffering. Once, I even saw Mom slapping herself in her room.”

“Felicia. All parents are the same. Mom loves you, too.”

“Mom was slapping herself?” Felicia shuddered.

“Felicia. I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking about you for so many years, but I can’t do it. It’s my fault,”

Mrs. Labenz pretended to be grief-stricken. Tears covered her face, and her voice was shaking.

To convince Felicia, Mrs. Labenz even slapped herself in front of Felicia. “It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”

“Mom.”

Felicia had never seen her mother like this before. It tore her heart and her eyes turned red as well. She hugged Mrs. Labenz and sobbed. “Mom, don’t be like this. I was in the wrong too. I’m sorry.”

As Felicia broke down, Mrs. Labenz knew that they had successfully tricked Felicia into letting her guard down.

She immediately embraced Felicia and pretended to cry.

Harry secretly dripped eye drops into his eyes and joined in the act. He put on a guilt-ridden and remorseful look and sobbed, “Felicia, I was in the wrong too. I’m sorry.

As he said that, he hugged Mrs. Labenz and Felicia and cried until tears were all over his face as well.

Mrs. Labenz and her son was putting on such a good show that Felicia really believed them. She was even moved to tears.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Labenz and Harry decided to get to the point and cornered Felicia.

Mrs. Labenz gently wiped Felicia’s tears. She wanted to take a closer look at the emerald pendant that Felicia was wearing. However, when she looked down, she was taken aback.

The emerald pendant was not there.

Mrs. Labenz’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly wiped her tears and asked, “Felicia, where’s the emerald pendant that you’ve been wearing? Did you sell it?”

“Mom, that piece of emerald pendant is too precious. I hid it. I want to use it as a family heirloom for my future

daughter-in-law,” Felicia explained.

Thank gosd, it was not sold.

Mrs. Labenz heaved a sigh of relief and said. “Felicia. I want to take another look at the emerald pendant. Is that okay?”

“Okay” Felicia had let all her guard down and immediately agreed.

Mrs. Labenz’s and Harry’s eyes lit up. They urged. “Quick, go and fetch it over.”

“Alright, wait for me.”

Felicia stood up and walked into the bedroom.

At this moment, there was a scream from the second level of the villa. Haylan ran down the stairs looking distressed. “Grandma, Harry. I had just encountered a malicious fraudster. I have been scammed of that 600 thousand dollars.”

“Can you invest more money in me? I promise that I will definitely turn the tables this time!”

“What?”

When Mrs. Labenz and Harry heard that, they jumped up from the sofa instantly. They looked appalled.

Harry stared at Haylan 600 thousand dollars, all gone?”

It had only been thirty minutes, and Haylan lost all the money?

“That’s right. I had actually made 1.2 million dollars at first. I thought the situation was in my favor and threw all the money

1. It is unfortunate.”

Haylan walked over with a dreadful expression and begged. “Harry, your family is so rich. Please give me another sum of money. I promise I will stop after I made twice as much this time.”

Harry’s face darkened when he heard this.

600 thousand dollars. All gone in less than 30 minutes!

What a wastrel Hayley was!

“Haylan, you… How can you do this? How can you lose so much money?” Felicia looked horrified as she hurried over to his side.

“Mom, this is how stocks work.” Haylan replied with a long face.

“What did you do? That’s 600 thousand dollars. It is gone just like that?” Mrs. Labenz’s heart ached.

She would not be able to earn that much money even if she worked day and night for 30 years without rest.

But Haylan lost all of it in just 30 minutes. She couldn’t bear to think about it!

“Mom, it’s true. I know how to invest in stocks. I was just unlucky. Please help me to ask Grandma and Harry for some more money, Haylan implored.

Felicia gritted her teeth and finally looked at Mrs. Labenz and Harry. “Mom, Harry, why don’t you just give Haylan another chance? He is a good guy. He’s just down on his luck.”

Mrs. Labenz and Harry’s expressions turned even grimmer.

More money?

Did they think they owned a bank?

However, they needed to keep up with their act to get their hands on that emerald pendant. Hence, they held back their anger and gave Haylan another 200 thousand dollars.

Haylan took the money and went upstairs with a smile.

Once again. Mrs. Labenz and Harry urged Felicia to bring out the emerald so that they could take a look at it.

Felicia was touched that Mrs. Labenz and Harry had forked out 800 thousand dollars to help Haylan. She opened her safe without hesitation, took out a box, and retrieved the emerald pendant. She then passed the emerald pendant to Mrs. Labenz

Mrs. Labenz held the pendant in her hands carefully. The moment she touched the emerald pendant, she felt a soothing effect on her body. Every cell in her body seemed to be crying out in jubilant.

“Wow” Mrs. Labenz’s eyes immediately widened in shock.

No wonder the treasure appraisal master valued this pendant at 200 million dollars. It was definitely an invaluable treasure!

It might even be worth double!

Harry saw the expression on Mrs. Labenz’s face and said, “Mom, let me take a look too.”

Mrs. Labenz handed the emerald pendant to him.

Harry held the emerald pendant in his palm. He had the same expression as Mrs. Labenz. He was so shocked by the effects of the pendant that he could only gasp in surprise and could hardly speak.

They looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with greed and astonishment.

How precious!

This pendant was definitely a treasure!

They had to have it!

Mrs. Labenz made her move and snatched the emerald pendant into her hands. Then, she looked at Felicia with a benevolent look. “My Felicia.”

“No!”

Before Mrs. Labenz could say anything, another scream came from the second level of the villa. Haylan ran down the stairs. again with messy hair and red eyes. “I lost. I lost everything again!”

“How did that happen?”

He rushed over and looked at Mrs. Labenz and Harry with anticipation. “Grandma, Harry, please give me another two million dollars. I’ll definitely win this time!”

Did Haylan lose everything again?

Mrs. Labenz’s and Harry’s faces turned pale as they looked at Haylan.

In less than an hour, he lost all 800 thousand dollars?

He was not just a wastrel!

He was a super wastrel!
