Chapter 872

Hailey and Jonah soon arrived in Barombya and checked into a local B&B.

The B&B owner, Joe Hogan, greeted them warmly, “Are you two a couple here on vacation?”

Jonah and Hailey were practically glued to each other. Anyone would’ve easily mistaken them for a married couple.

Hailey didn’t bother correcting him. After all, she and Jonah were going to get married soon.

She replied, “Sir, we’re not here for sightseeing. We came to look for something.”

“Oh? What are you looking for? I might be able to help.”

“We’re looking for the snow lotus.”

“You mean the legendary snow lotus that only blooms once every 50 years? Well, you two are in luck! Just yesterday, Arlo Brunt went up the mountain and came down with one!” Joe told them.

Hailey’s eyes lit up with joy. “Really? That’s amazing! Sir, do you have that person’s contact info? We’d like to offer a high price to buy it!”

Joe chuckled. “I do have his number. I’ll call him for you right now.”

He pulled out his phone and made the call.

Hailey looked at Jonah, eyes sparkling. “Did you hear that, Jonah? We came at just the right time. The snow lotus is here!”

Jonah pinched her cheek affectionately. “Look how happy you are.”

“Of course I’m happy!”

After finishing the call, Joe turned to Hailey. “I just spoke to him. He said he’s willing to come by this afternoon to talk with you in person about selling the snow lotus.”

“Fantastic!” Hailey beamed. “Thank you so much. We’ll wait here for him.”

Back in their room, Hailey was still buzzing with excitement.

“I didn’t think our luck would be this good. No matter how much he asks, we have to get that snow lotus!”

Jonah nodded. “Alright.”

Afternoon came. Hailey and Jonah waited at the door of the guesthouse for Arlo. Hailey was excited, but as time passed, no one showed up.

Joe muttered, “That’s strange. It’s already past the agreed time. Why isn’t he here yet?”

Hailey furrowed her brows. The snow lotus meant everything to her, and she

didn’t want anything to go wrong in its procurement.

“Sir, can you give him another call? Just to check?”

Joe nodded. “Of course. I’ll call him right now.”

He called Arlo again. After a few rings, the call connected. “Arlo, why aren’t you here yet? The buyers have been waiting for you. They’re offering a high price for the snow Totus! What? You’re not selling it anymore?” s

Upon hearing the last sentence, Hailey’s expression changed. She quickly stepped forward.

“Is it about the price? We’re willing to pay however much he wants-just name it!”

Joe relayed the message, “Did you

hear that? They’re serious buyers

Just name your price. What? You already sold it at a high priced someone else?

Hailey felt her heart sink. So, Arlo had sold the snow lotus to someone else.

“Sir, can you ask who he sold it to? The snow lotus is very important to us!” Hailey said urgently.

Joe spoke into the phone again. “Arlo, can you tell me who you sold it to? Hello? Hello?”

He was met with a busy tone. It would seem that Arlo had hung up.

Joe turned to them. “He hung up.”

Hailey grew anxious. “Why did he hang up? Do you know where he lives? We’ll go find him right now!”

Joe handed over a small note with an address. “He lives nearby. You guys should hurry.”

Hailey grabbed the address and reached for Jonah’s hand. “Come on. Were going find him and figure out who bought that show lotus. We have to buy it off that guy!”
