The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 

Inside ward 1802, Samuel stared at a sleeping Natalie who lay on the hospital bed. 

Natalie would never lower her guard down around him. Perhaps the only exception was when she slept—like right now. 

It was a rare moment as she was in her most defenseless and sincere form before Samuel 

Just then, his phone rang. 

Not wanting to wake Natalie up, he instantly left the ward to answer the call. 

“Sir, we‘ve found him,” Billy stated. 

“Send me the location, and I‘ll go over there right now.” 

After Billy texted the location, Samuel drove to a massive container next to a port. 

He saw a line of people kneeling as soon as he opened the rusty metal door. 

While walking in, Samuel loosened the first two buttons on his top. A grim aura then exuded into the space around him. Meanwhile, everyone at the scene felt a shiver down their spines. 

“Sir. Jeffrey Cook from Yates Real Estate is the one who gave the orders to kidnap Ms. Sophia,” Billy explained as he kicked a middle–aged man who wore glasses. “Jeffrey here bribed Ms. Sophia‘s private driver to give him updates on where Ms. Sophia went when she snuck out.” 

Laying on the ground was a petrified Jeffrey, who stared wide–eyed at Samuel. 

Jeffrey regretted planning Sophia‘s kidnapping as soon as he looked into Samuel‘s dark and murderous gaze. 

“M–Mr. Bowers...” Jeffrey stuttered. “I–I only wanted to abduct your daughter because I needed more time to pay off my debt to you. I never actually intended to hurt her! Besides, as far as I know, she didn‘t suffer from any injuries during the kidnapping attempt at all. Mr. Bowers! Please! Spare me!” 

Not a trace of hesitation showed on Samuel‘s face as his hand mercilessly tightened around Jeffrey‘s neck. 

The latter paled at once. 

Just as Jeffrey thought he was about to die, Samuel‘s hand suddenly loosened from his neck. 

Jeffrey quickly sucked in multiple deep breaths, feeling relieved. 

Immediately after, Samuel gave orders to his subordinates while casting a vicious glare at Jeffrey. “I want 30 knife slashes on all of their arms.”
