Chapter 190 Would You Believe Me?
Yandel asked the question seriously, so he was expecting that Natalie would tell him an amazing plan.
To his surprise, she pushed her glasses up and smiled. “Who says that I want this item?”
“Boss, what do you mean? You said you wanted it to cure Mrs. Becker of her illness! I didn’t expect the
dragonblood fruit to be so popular. Look at these people around us! So many of them want to get it!”
whispered Yandel.
“It is indeed good medicinal material. We have a low dragonblood fruit supply in the market, so many
people can’t buy it no matter how rich they are. However…” Natalie paused on purpose, causing Yandel
to feel more curious.
He asked, “What is it?”
“This dragonblood fruit is fake. It is not even a dragonblood fruit, to begin with…”
His jaw dropped as he stared at the red fruit on the screen in disbelief.
This is not a dragonblood fruit? But it looks the same as the one recorded in the books!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie glanced at Yandel. “The snakeblood fruit looks very similar to the dragonblood fruit at first sight.
Besides, the place it grows is quite near to where the dragonblood fruits grow as well. That’s why a lot of
people have mistaken it for the dragonblood fruit.”
Yandel was stunned.
No wonder she doesn’t seem to care at all.
“The snakeblood fruit is a valuable medicinal material too. However, judging by its name, you can tell it’s
very different from the dragonblood fruit. It doesn’t worth so much money. Besides, I have three
snakeblood fruits with me, so I don’t have to buy more of them.” Natalie smiled.
Even though it was not a dragonblood fruit, it was still valuable.
Yandel’s eyes lit up as he stared at Natalie.
“Yandel, can you stop looking at me like that? I’m getting goosebumps…” She shot him a look.
“Boss, is there anything else that you don’t know about?” He grinned.
“Stop speaking nonsense. Focus on the auction.”
“All right.”
As the bid increased, the final auction price reached one billion five hundred and sixty million.
Godfrey grinned as he clapped his hands. “One billion five hundred and sixty million. Congratulations to
Mr. Collins!”
As Natalie looked at Christopher, who looked about twenty-seven years old, she shook her head and
sighed inwardly, pitying him.
However, she did not dwell on it because she was not the one who got fooled.
The auction lasted for nearly three hours and ended after Godfrey gave a thank you speech.
Although the event had ended, most of the ones who joined were unwilling to leave the venue.
When Natalie was about to leave, she saw that members of the Watsons family, the Sutton family, and
the Bowers family were present as well, including Shawn, Seth Sutton, and Steven.
Natalie lowered her head to avoid being recognized by them. Then, she quickly gestured to Yandel,
signaling him to leave through another route and meet her outside.

As she walked further away, she came to the back door of the hall and entered the courtyard.
“Mr. Collins, why did you spend so much money on that? You know it is a snakeblood fruit.”
“Because I want to live…”
Natalie was surprised when she overheard the conversation.
Only then did she know that Christopher was suffering from a disease that was difficult to cure. He was
even willing to buy the snakeblood fruit at such a high price even though he knew it was not a
dragonblood fruit.
Just when she was about to leave, she accidentally stepped on a branch.
“Who’s there?” someone shouted.
Natalie tried to run away, but Christopher’s subordinate, Nicholas Collins, had already come over and
grabbed her shoulder.
“Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation!”
She was then dragged over to Christopher.
As she looked up slowly, she met his eyes.
“Mr. Collins, would you believe me if I say I did not hear anything?” asked Natalie as she stared at him.
