Chapter 411 Thorn In My Flesh
Yara could understand what Scarlett was implying, so she stealthily tightened her grip on the glass but maintained her smile. Just who does Scarlett think she is! She’s just lucky to be born as the only granddaughter to Old Mr. Hamilton. Even though the Hamiltons are a thousand times more influential than our family, I have Grandpa backing me. On top of that, I also have the twins. Scarlett may be cocky right now, but she has no idea that her days on the pedestal are numbered. For now, I’m going to let her have her fun since she’s indispensable to my plan. But when I become the head of the Bowers family, I’ll make sure she pays for all her mockeries.
Yara then took a sip of red wine before responding, “As crafty as I am, I’ve never spent a night at the Bowers residence, unlike Natalie. That woman has spent countless nights there.”
Skillfully, Yara had diverted all attention onto Natalie, whose unremarkable features and freckled cheeks were all Yara could think of when she mentioned the woman.
“I just don’t understand what Samuel sees in a woman like that!” exclaimed Scarlett irritably.
Yara raised her eyebrow proudly. “I don’t think it’ll matter anymore. At least not after what we’ve done tonight. Get someone to open the cold storage two hours later, and I’m sure they’ll find a frozen corpse inside. We’ll tell them that Natalie wandered around at your brother’s birthday party and accidentally got herself locked inside the cold storage. And if anybody looks for someone to blame, we’ll give them Lia. It’s a perfect plan. Nobody will ever figure out what really happened.”
Scarlett turned off the surveillance cameras before nodding in response.
“Just so you know, I would never work with you if it wasn’t for Samuel,” stated Scarlett haughtily.
“I understand.”
As much as Yara hated to deal with Scarlett’s insufferable attitude, she could not help but feel thrilled when she thought of how she could get rid of Natalie for good. Natalie has been a thorn in my flesh for the longest time. Now, it’s finally time to wipe her off the face of the earth!
Meanwhile, after catching up with some old pals, Yana and Hans tried to look for Natalie but could not find the woman anywhere in the crowd.
“Hans, where do you think Natalie might’ve gone to? I swear I saw her just a moment ago. How does anyone just disappear like that?” inquired Yana curiously.
“She probably isn’t used to seeing this many people, so I’m sure that she must’ve gone somewhere quieter. Don’t worry about her for she’s not a child. I bet she found herself a nice spot where she could enjoy her drink alone,” assured Hans.
Even though Yana wanted nothing more than to believe what Hans said was true, for some reason, she was convinced that something was off.
Seeing how his wife remained anxious, Hans pinched her cheek playfully. “Relax. Your pregnancy is probably to be blamed for your overprotectiveness. You know what a smart girl Natalie is, right? I doubt that any average Joe can take advantage of her. Instead of her, you should be worrying more about yourself. If you keep overthinking like this, Natalie might have to set you up with another treatment.”
In the end, Yana agreed to unwind a bit as suggested.
On the other side, Zayden finally managed to climb out of the swimming pool but was shivering because of how wet and cold he was. “That witch better hope that I never find her because if I do, I’ll make her wish that she was never born!”
Just when the man was hurrying back to the inner hall to get a fresh set of clothes, he bumped into Charles, accompanied by a gentleman in a jet-black suit.
The mysterious man had a pair of eyes that were mesmerizing but penetrating. It was as though they could pierce through one’s soul.
Charles’ face immediately turned red when he saw the state Zayden was in. “What the heck happened to you? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look right now? I know it’s your birthday today, but this is not the way to celebrate it. This is unacceptable!
After roaring at his grandson, Charles turned to the gentleman beside him and spoke in a completely different tone. “Oh, how I wish my grandson can become half the man that you are, Samuel. Look at him. He’s a complete mess.”
