Chapter 707 A Woman Who Spells Trouble
Thud! Natalie dropped her book unknowingly. Her frown deepened into a scowl as she stated, “I’ll go with you.”
Samuel nodded. “All right!”
They hopped into their car at once and headed toward the Bowers manor.
By the time they reached the manor, all the elders and relatives from the Bowers family were already there. Everyone was grief-stricken. Some of their relatives and close friends were even shedding their tears.
When Samuel and Natalie came into view, Steven asked Samuel awkwardly, “Sam, how about you let Natalie go back first?”
“Why? Is there anything wrong?” Samuel asked doubtfully in a low voice.
“Sam, things don’t look good now. You’d better let her leave first,” Steven replied hesitantly.
His words caught Natalie off guard. “I…” Perplexed, she pointed at herself instinctively.
On the other hand, Jefford had already made his way toward Samuel and Natalie with a few elders from the Bowers family.
“She’s the culprit! This woman had prescribed Old Mr. Bowers the medicine, claiming that it could cure his illness! But he ended up losing his life instead of being cured by her!” Pointing at Natalie, he put on a show to convince the elders.
Even though the few elders were not as influential as Samuel in the Bowers family, they were in their old age and had sacrificed a lot for the family. Thus, they were ranked right after Samuel, the patriarch, in the family.
Astounded by Jefford’s words, they fastened their gazes on Natalie.
Miguel, the head of the elders, was flustered and fumed, “Since this woman is the prime suspect, what on earth are you waiting for? Send her to the police station now!”
