Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 305: 305: Evelyn Norton ‘s Investment_l

The trio quickly explained, “We saw the whole process of you refining pills just now! You are truly amazing!”

“Yeah, and you even received an invitation from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

We really admire you!”

Upon hearing what they had to say, Ethan Smith finally understood.

Chaim Tate’s face was rigid and extremely embarrassed.

How could Ethan Smith have received an invitation from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion? It was baffling.

“Please, the three of you teach this brat a lesson!” Chaim Tate said again.

The trio glanced at Chaim Tate and said coldly, “Chaim Tate, are we that close to you?”

“Exactly. Say another word, and we’ll take care of you first!”

“How could Mr. Smith be insulted by the likes of you?”

The trio knew very well that an alchemist from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion was far more valuable than Chaim Tate, a common Medicine King.

Mr. Smith, we apologize for the disturbance. If you need any help, please feel free to ask,” the three said respectfully.

After leaving those words, the trio left together.

Ethan Smith sneered at Chaim Tate.

“Master Chaim, it seems your connections aren’t that great either,” Ethan Smith sneered.

Chaim Tate’s face was unspeakably ugly. He clenched his teeth and said, ‘Ethan Smith, you’ve already taken the herbs. What more do you want!”

“Taken?” Ethan Smith snorted.

“Chaim Tate, I made it very clear to you that within three days, it would be delivered to my doorstep! Unfortunately, you’ve broken your promise.”

Having said that, Ethan Smith waved his hand and put all the herbs in Chaim Tate’s booth into his Spatial Magic Artifact.

Chaim Tate’s face turned livid, and he trembled with anger.

But he was helpless against Ethan Smith and could only suppress his anger.

After getting the herbs, Ethan Smith turned and left.

Watching Ethan Smith’s back, Chaim Tate’s teeth bit together in rage.

“Mr. Smith, this Herbs Convention yielded quite a harvest,” Edward Green said, quite smug.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Indeed, we have Chaim Tate to thank for that, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about this Herbs Convention.”

This could be called a blessing in disguise.

The Herbs Convention ended at twelve midnight.

Ethan Smith and Edward Green found a hotel to stay at for the time being.

At night, Ethan Smith opened the Spatial Magic Artifact and carefully counted the herbs.

There were three herbs over five hundred years old, and as many as ten over one hundred years old!

Such a huge amount excited Ethan Smith!

“I’m rich!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help grinning.

He lay in bed, feeling that he would surely have a remarkable dream tonight.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ethan Smith furrowed his eyebrows and asked subconsciously, “Who is it?” “Ethan, it’s me,” Evelyn Norton’s seductive voice came from outside the door.

“Evelyn? What is she doing here?” Ethan frowned slightly.

After contemplating for a moment, Ethan still went and opened the door.

Outside, Evelyn Norton was wearing a purple gauze dress. Under the light, her enchanting figure was clearly visible.

“Miss Norton, why did you come?” Ethan Smith asked.

Instead of answering the question, Evelyn smiled faintly, “Mr. Smith, aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Ethan Smith frowned, but eventually, he stepped aside and let Evelyn Norton in.

Then, Ethan Smith poured a glass of water for Evelyn Norton and casually asked, “Miss Norton, what brings you to see me in the middle of the night?” Evelyn lifted her face, her captivating eyes looking at Ethan Smith.

“Can’t I visit you without a reason?” Evelyn blinked her eyes and said sweetly.

Ethan could feel the enthralling force emanating from her.As she spoke, the power that attacked her mind directly grew even stronger.

“Miss Norton, your charm doesn’t work on me.” Ethan Smith said indifferently.

A look of surprise flashed across Evelyn Norton’s face, as her charm had never failed before!

Evelyn seemed unwilling to give up. She stood up and approached Ethan, swaying her enchanting figure with each step.

Sitting beside Ethan, she leaned into his ear and spoke in a sweet, seductive voice, “Mr. Smith, do you truly feel nothing?

As she spoke, Evelyn reached out to touch Ethan’s chest.

However, at this moment, Ethan grabbed her wrist.

An overwhelming force suddenly erupted!

“Miss Norton, please respect yourself. If you continue to persist, don’t blame me for being rude.” Ethan said coldly.

Evelyn’s expression changed slightly, and she sighed, “Mr. Smith, you are the first person able to resist my charm.”

It was impossible for Ethan to be completely unfazed, as he was a young, vigorous man.

But deep within his heart, he held a profound longing.

This longing granted Ethan great determination, as well as the courage to move forward, enough to withstand any temptation in the world.

“Miss Norton, please speak directly if you have something to say, or I will go to sleep.” Ethan said coldly.

Seeing this, Evelyn stopped teasing Ethan.

She took out a green bead from her bosom, which glimmered with a bewitching light in the dim surroundings.

“Mr. Smith, here’s a gift for you, ” Evelyn smiled.

Ethan took the bead, looking puzzled, “What is this?”

“Take a guess.” Evelyn’s beautiful eyes sparkled, teasingly speaking.

As Ethan examined the bead, he answered seriously, “If I’m not mistaken, this…should be a glass marble.”

“Pfft!”

Hearing his words, Evelyn couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Mr. Smith, do you think I visited you in the middle of the night just to give you a glass bead?” Evelyn asked, laughing.

Ethan was, of course, joking. He played with the bead and asked, “So what exactly is this?”

Only then did Evelyn speak seriously, “This is an inner core, from an undersea Demonic Beast.”

“Inner core?” Ethan was taken aback.

This was the first time he had heard of such a term. Evelyn nodded, “Yes, a Demonic Beast Core.”

Ethan frowned and asked, “Where did you get this?”

The topic seemed to evoke memories for Evelyn.

She gazed out the window and spoke slowly, “Ten years ago, I was stranded on a deserted island, where I stumbled upon it by chance.”

“There were two in total. I had already consumed one.”

Hearing that, Ethan couldn’t help but stroke the core and smile, “The charm that emanates from you originates from this core, right?”

“Exactly as you said, Mr. Smith,” Evelyn replied, covering her mouth to laugh.

Ethan rubbed his chin and asked, “This Demonic Beast Core should be quite valuable, right? Why would you give it to me?”

With a hint of bitterness, Evelyn responded, “I’m just a woman without a background. If I want to climb higher, I must rely on a man.”

“Before you, I considered Reginald Tucker, but now I’ve changed my mind.

You’re more suited than he is.”

Ethan raised an eyebrow, “Is this an investment? A partnership?”

“You can understand it that way,” Evelyn smiled.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly realized that he and Evelyn seemed somewhat similar.

Both were wholeheartedly striving to change their circumstances, yet had no background to rely on.

It was undoubtedly a difficult path to follow, and for a woman like Evelyn to arrive where she was today, she must have paid a great price.

“Miss Norton, I still don’t quite understand,” Ethan said.

“If that’s the case, why don’t you choose the scion of a Great Family?”

Evelyn raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Smith, even if I were to attach myself to a powerful family, do you think I would be valued? In their eyes, I might just be a disposable plaything.”

“Comparatively, investing in a stock with potential is the better choice — what if someday, you also become part of a Great Family?”
