Chapter 405 Lia Agrees To Make A Bet
“Don’t panic,” Natalie uttered nonchalantly.
Panic-stricken, Lia pressed her palm hard on her chest and gasped. “I’d already caused you trouble once
and almost met my end! If I were to do it again, I would surely put someone’s life on the line again. How
could I pay the price for my grievous deed if any mishap occurs again?”
Natalie snorted. “I didn’t say that you have to put anyone’s life on the line, did I?”
“Did you manage to come up with an idea?” Lia asked eagerly.
“Ms. Johnson, even if I can resolve the problem for you this round, it doesn’t mean that I’ll be able to
keep helping you with that. You know it too well that your inner demons are the root cause of everything,
don’t you? As long as you don’t eliminate it, you’ll never be able to be your own self,” Natalie uttered
solemnly.
On the other side of the line, Lia clenched her fists as she mumbled, “My… my inner demons…”
“Are you willing to make a bet to find out how important you are to Lionel?” Natalie asked subtly.

me to do so?” Lia mumbled self-deprecatingly.
“It’s up to you. Anyway, I will give you three days to think about it.” The next moment, Natalie hung up on
her.
It’s merely a matter of opinion when commenting about right and wrong. Hence, she could not jump to a
hasty conclusion about the previous matter related to the Johnson family.
Natalie was willing to help Lia as she did not wish to see her fall into Yara’s trap and get exploited to
carry out any heinous deed again. Thus, she thought of pulling Lia out of the predicament before it was
too late. Nonetheless, the final decision was in the latter’s hands.
Three days later, Natalie was savoring wine in a private room in The Moonlight. Shortly after, Lia pushed
open the door and entered.
“Have you made up your mind?” Natalie cut to the chase.
Lia nodded earnestly. “Yeah, I’ve thought it through. I’m willing to give it a try. After all, nobody else can
help me now other than you. After sitting on this for two days, I realize sooner or later I’ll have to part with
Lionel, regardless of how much I love him. Thus, I would rather talk myself to have a clearer insight into
the whole matter. It’s pointless for me to cry over spilled milk when he finally thinks of marrying another
woman one day.”
After taking a sip of her wine, Natalie beckoned to her with a smile. “Come over. Let me tell you the first
thing you need to do.”
Lia nodded and leaned closer to her.
Moments later, she hesitated upon hearing Natalie’s words, but she remained silent.
In the meantime, Yara went to the Hamilton residence to see Scarlett. She was the apple of Charles
Hamilton, the patriarch’s eye. Apart from having a stunning look, she was a very capable young woman.
On the other hand, Zayden, her younger brother, was a flamboyant womanizer. There was a rumor that
he had even caused the tragic death of some women in bed.
Since then, Charles was totally disappointed with him and doted on Scarlett even more.

Meanwhile, Scarlett was deemed one of the most fabled socialites in Dellmoor. She was just back from
furthering her studies overseas in the past two years.
Guided by the housekeeper, Yara entered Scarlett’s bedroom after passing through the lavishly designed
corridor.
At the sight of the impressive design of the Hamilton residence, Yara could not resist feeling jealous and
clenching her fists again.
Even though she was the eldest heiress of Dexmed Pharmaceutical, she was not comparable to Scarlett,
a direct bloodline of the prominent family. Regardless of how Kenneth backed her up, she knew she
could never exude the vibe of dignity as a socialite of a prestigious family like Scarlett.
Soon, she stepped into Scarlett’s study.
Looking stunning with her long wavy hair, the latter shot Yara a glance with utter disdain amid hostility in
her eyes. She closed the book in her hands and looked intently at Lia. “What a great surprise! I almost
couldn’t believe it when the butler notified me moments ago that you were here to see me. Yara, I’m sure
you know better than anyone else that I’ve been loathing you since two years ago. Because of the
Bowers family, I’ve not inflicted any harm on you. After all, we are supposed to have no trucks with each
other, aren’t we? It never crosses my mind that you have the guts to come straight to see me!”
