Chapter 348 Blood Spewed
Natalie could not help but snort when she mentioned the fact that they were related by blood.
At the same time, Yara’s eyes anxiously darted around.
“Who are you? Who the hell are you?” Yara growled, her voice trembling.
If Yara had not conducted a DNA test between them and confirmed that they were not blood-related, she would have thought that the woman before her was the same woman that died in the fire five years ago.
“Didn’t I already introduce myself to you?” Natalie calmly stated, “I’m Natalie.”
She smirked at Yara and walked away.
All humans should not commit evil deeds. Even if they were cruel and vicious, they would feel guilty and afraid whenever they recall their villainous doings.
Regardless, this was only the start to Natalie’s revenge plot.
Yara glanced at Natalie with wide eyes.
She bit her lip so hard that it was about to bleed.
Natalie! This woman has the same name on purpose. She must know something about what happened five years ago.
If everyone were to find out what happened that year, her sacrifice to save Samuel and her position as Franklin and Sophia’s “mother” would be useless.
All the effort I’ve put in over the past five years would be for nothing. No, I can’t let that happen! I have to make sure the plan for tonight succeeds, and I’ll ruin her reputation in front of everyone.
As Natalie calmly sipped on her wine, she could still feel everyone’s eyes on her.
“Who does this woman think she is?” There was a discussion surrounding Natalie.
“I thought Kenneth approved Yara as his future granddaughter-in-law. So who the hell is this woman?”
One person assumed, “I mean, she does have a good figure. But no matter how hard I look at her, she’s only average-looking.”
“Does Mr. Bowers have a unique taste? Maybe he doesn’t like people who are too perfect and prefers people with some flaws.”
At that moment, another person interrupted the discussion.
“Enough. If all of you have the guts to gossip about her, you should say it to Natalie’s face,” Lia commented.
As soon as she spoke out, those people involved in the conversation fell silent.
Natalie turned to look at the lady that stood up for her.
The woman looked gentle, and she had a slender frame. She did not have perfect facial features, but she looked decent. Although she had makeup on, Natalie could tell that she had severe anemia to the point that there might not be enough blood flow to her heart.
“Thank you,” Natalie said.
Lia shook her head. “It’s the least I could do. They were going overboard. It’s shallow to judge someone by their looks.”
“Sensible people like you are rare.” Grinning, Natalie raised her glass to clink with Lia’s.
“Indeed.”
Smiling, Lia finished the glass of cocktail in her hand.
When she reached out to take another glass from a waiter, Natalie stopped her.
“You are not in the best health, so you shouldn’t drink so much.” Picking up a glass beside her, Natalie mixed some cold and hot water. “Here. Warm water would be best for you.”
Startled, Lia probed, “Are you a doctor?”
“Well, I know a thing or two,” Natalie replied.
With a perplexed look, Lia gratefully took the warm water from Natalie and thanked her.
She took a sip. It did not taste like anything but was at the perfect temperature—neither too hot nor cold.
If I didn’t have to do this, I could be good friends with her.
“Anyway, my name is Lia.”
“I’m Natalie,” Natalie introduced herself.
“That’s a nice name.” Looking down, Lia fiddled with the glass uneasily. “As your name suggests, you must have a warm heart, huh?”
“Are you nervous?” Natalie raised her brows.
“No.”
However, when Lia lifted her chin to look at Natalie, she felt various emotions surging within her.
“Sorry, Natalie.”
“Why are you apologizing to me?” Natalie raised her brows and asked in confusion.
“I have to do something that will let you down.” Biting her lip, Lia mumbled, “But I have no other choice.”
In bewilderment, Natalie interrogated her, “What?”
She could not comprehend why a woman she met for the first time would apologize to her.
However, amid her confusion, Lia’s face turned pale, and she uncontrollably spat out mouthfuls of blood.
