It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 549

"It's okay. I'm not a vengeful guy. I didn't get mad at Paul. Although he got me really angry, I let him go easily. I just hung him over the center of a crocodile pool. But is it true that Paul is not one of your acquaintances, Mrs. Ouyang?" Edward had an immediate impulse to punch Paul in the face, whenever he thought of the disparity in the price of the necklace. So, it was obvious that Edward's declaration of his not being a vengeful guy was nothing more than a lie! But in the presence of the two women, Edward spoke in a subtle manner. He put it as if it was the most justified fact under the heaven. He was so brazen that he didn't mind at all that the two women sitting here would spot his hypocrisy and feel ashamed of him.

"Who is Paul? I know nothing about him." Yakira replied in a hurry. She could not help but feel nervous now, as she had figured out Edward's intention to test her and get her into revealing something by mistake. So, Yakira thought carefully before giving any answers. As Yakira was engaged in fabricating her flawless answers, she paid no attention to the few sensitive words in Edward's sentence and the real threatening implication behind them. But those words did catch Mary's attention. Mary was, of course, scared of Paul's woeful destiny of being hung over the crocodile pool. It was terrible if it was true. Mary wondered whether it was just one of those Edward's jokes. But in case she offended or cheated him in the future, would Edward treat her in the same manner he treated Paul? Mary was eager to know the answer.

"Oh? You know nothing about Paul? But he told me otherwise. He said he is your cousin, and you two are on good terms. Did Paul lie to me?"

Edward looked with a confused expression. He could not help but feel happy on seeing Yakira panic. In Edward's opinion, psychologically tormenting someone was definitely a better way to torture his foes. Compared to physical pains, it was more agonizing, stressful and unbearable. Even tough people, who were fearless of physical affliction, tended to easily surrender when afflicted with psychological suffering. Edward was a pro in driving his enemies crazy psychologically. He was wondering how long Yakira would stand his psychological tormenting.

"Edward, you must have been mistaken. As far as I can recall, I have never heard about any uncles from my mother's side. How is it possible for the Pool or Paul you just mentioned to be a relative of my mother then?" Mary shouted before Yakira could speak. As far as Mary could recall, she too never heard her mother mention anything about this so-called Paul. It could be a possibility that her mother knew nothing about this man.

"Really? You don't know who Paul is, do you? Mrs. Ouyang. Then how is it possible for him to tell me everything about your family? Everything! It seems he is very familiar with everyone in your family. Please don't tell me it's just a coincidence. Not too many coincidences happen like that! Paul even knows how you married Mr. Ouyang, Mrs. Ouyang. He told me everything about your marriage in detail. It was so detailed that I had no reason to suspect him. He seemed to be trustworthy. So, are you trying to tell me that he succeeded in cheating me."

Edward said in a cold manner. Although he seemed calm and composed as always, his eyes had a trace of satire in them. He looked straight at Yakira and observed every change in her expression. He was eager to know what Yakira would say next. Would it be the answer that he was expecting?
