Chapter 715 Fishing Out The Mastermind
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was only a black cat.
What happened recently put her on high alert. Sometimes, she could not help but feel paranoid.
She laughed at herself before shaking her head and heading back to her apartment.
However, unknown to her, people were working in secret in the unseen corners to remove all threats to her. They quickly disposed of the bodies and cleared the bloodstains.
Meanwhile, Samuel was in the Bowers residence when he received a call from Weston.
“Mr. Bowers, it is as you expected. Someone tried to assassinate Mrs. Bowers,” Weston reported to Samuel.
“Did she notice anything?” Samuel asked.
“Mrs. Bowers was careful. However, those were not simple assassins. If we didn’t protect her in secret, she could have been in danger,” Weston answered.
He heard from Billy and Sarah that Samuel values Natalie more than his life. Therefore, Weston did not leave anything but informed, “We did as instructed and avoided as much disturbance as possible. Mrs. Bowers did not notice the assassins or us. However…”
Samuel frowned and asked, “What is it?”
Weston answered softly, “You are not the only one protecting her in secret.”
Samuel immediately understood what he meant. “Do you know who?”
“They are mainly the Collins family, the Watsons family, and Irethiel’s Kennedy family,” Weston replied.
Samuel pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes fiercely.
Damn it! These people are all vying for Natalie’s affection. Even Yohan, who had returned to Irethiel, is secretly protecting her. Although they said that they have given up on their feelings for Natalie, that is untrue in reality. It seems they still want to get Natalie for themselves. They are all observing her in silence, waiting for me to make a mistake. Then, they would use the excuse of saving her to whisk her away. They are more daring than I expected!
“They can observe if they want, but you must not be so stupid as to let them help you,” Samuel said sternly. Then, he instructed, “Don’t leave an opening. I need you to investigate the matter tonight. By tomorrow morning, I want to know who the mastermind behind this assassination attempt is.”
I will never let go of anyone who dares to harm her…
Meanwhile, Natalie had some macaroni and cheese before going to bed. She was unaware that many people in Dellmoor shall have a sleepless night because of her.
The following morning, Weston glanced at an assassin bloody from ‘questioning’ and said casually, “Why did you bother saying all those nonsense? What is the point of putting yourself through so much pain? In the end, you still have to tell me all you know.”
Weston had subjected the four assassins to brutal questioning and tortured them. Their bodies trembled as they looked at Weston’s back profile.
Then, Weston left the interrogation room and messaged Samuel the mastermind’s name.
At this moment, Samuel was having breakfast with the children.
Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, and Clayton were all downcast as they had not seen Natalie for a few days.
Meanwhile, Samuel remained expressionless before the children as he opened the message.
A cold glare flashed across his eyes as he saw a familiar name.
After leaving the Bowers residence, Billy thought Samuel wanted to head to the company as usual. However, Samuel suddenly instructed, “Billy, I’m not going to the company this morning. Send me to Miguel’s residence. I have something to discuss with him.”
“Sure.” Billy nodded and drove the car toward Miguel’s residence outside the city.
Miguel lived in a villa built on the wetlands. It had fresh air and green plants all around.
When Samuel stepped into the villa, Miguel was dressed in loungewear and doing light exercise in the garden.
