Chapter 655 Someone Is Hurt
Natalie read through the document in her hand in a bright mood.
“Then, you were Samuel’s only girl from the start?”
Yandel’s words reminded Natalie of something.
That’s right! Samuel should be inexperienced six years ago.
It doesn’t seem fair that he was inexperienced six years ago, but I was the only one tired and begging him for mercy. In fact, six years later, his technique had improved so much that he could ensnare me in his web of lust with just a kiss.
Just then, Yandel thought of something and said somberly, “Boss, since you’re sure that it was Samuel who you were with six years ago, that meant Marcus had nothing to do with you.”
Since the early mornings, Natalie had left the Bowers residence and came straight to Dream Corporation.
She had a smile on her face the entire way. Being so immersed in bliss, she didn’t catch the latest news.
Confused, she asked, “What’s wrong? Why did you bring up Marcus all of a sudden?”
“Around nine o’clock last night, Marcus was spotted at an abandoned warehouse in a rural area. That warehouse exploded, taking him with it. The police are investigating, but I think it won’t be easy to find any solid evidence in an area so rural.”
“He’s dead?” Natalie’s eyes widened with disbelief.
“I didn’t tell you earlier because I was afraid you would be affected by his death. The only reason why I’m telling you now is that you’re already well aware of the truth six years ago. He’s dead, but you, Clayton, and Xavian have nothing to be sad about.”
Natalie frowned at his words as her lips curled into a cold smile.
“With Marcus dead, there’ll be one less person who knows about the truth.”
“Are you saying that…”
A flash of coldness crossed her eyes. “So many years have passed, but my dear sister still likes to use arson to cover her tracks I see.”
When Natalie arrived home that night, she made a beeline to her room. She stopped in front of the drawer with her first aid box and began to take inventory of the medicines and medical supplies in it.
She had a good memory of the doses and types of medication and the medical supplies she stored in it. A glimpse at its content told her that an ointment for burns and a roll of bandages were missing.
Only Samuel and the kids knew about her first aid box and dared to touch it.
Samuel was beside her every night, so she would’ve caught him if he had any injuries on him.
That only left the kids.
Who could’ve got hurt? And who touched my first aid box?
She contemplated it for a while before closing the box. Then, she got up, left her room, and made her way to the kids’ room.
When the kids saw Natalie, they immediately ran to her.
“Mommy!”
“Are you guys still reading this late into the night?” Natalie said with a smile, “It’s time to wash up and get into bed.”
Clayton and Franklin were calm and collected, but a look of guilt crossed Xavian’s and Sophia’s faces. Their gazes began darting around, not daring to meet their mother’s eyes.
Ah-ha! As expected, they’re hiding something from me. One of them is hurt.
“We got it, Mommy.” Clayton nodded obediently. “We’ll wash up and get into bed soon. You should do the same, Mommy. Don’t work too long even if you have a lot of work. Take care of your body and sleep early.”
“Yeah, he’s right,” Franklin agreed.
Natalie’s gaze flickered between her two sons. She was sure that one of them was injured.
“Both of you come with me.” Natalie gestured at Clayton and Franklin with her finger.
Clayton’s and Franklin’s bodies stiffened as they stayed rooted to the spot.
“Well? Why are you still standing there? Are my words useless now?” Natalie arched her brow.
