The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 

Belle was stunned by Ross‘ icy glare. 

However, she was still not willing to give up. “Didn‘t you tell me that Natalie seduced you and stole your research? She dumped you and then went for other guys after taking advantage of you!” 

Everyone looked at Natalie before turning to look at Ross, whose eyes narrowed. “I have never said that.” 

“Ross, you lied to me!” Belle‘s ankle was bleeding more and more heavily, but she could care less about it at the moment. “That‘s what you told me!” 

“I have no idea what you‘re talking about. I never told you anything about that.” Ross paused for a moment. His words took a drastic turn as he continued, “Besides, many years ago, you were the one who seduced me and stole my research! So how dare you accuse her of it now?” 

Even though the Green family had used some money to cover up the incident, rumors inevitably got out, giving people some idea of the grudge between Belle and Ross. 

When this past incident was brought up once more, everyone now recognized that the man standing in front of them was Ross Trevor, the genius medical professor whose career was once ruined by Belle. 

“I already gave you five million! How could you do this to me, Ross?” 

In order to bring down Natalie, Belle had been bribing Ross to collect information about her. 

Ross laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in his life. “Belle, what you owe me is way more than just that five million.” 

Belle‘s ankle was still throbbing in pain. However, she was holding onto hope that she would be able to accomplish her plans. 

But now... 

Her reputation was completely ruined, while Natalie was still unharmed. 

Suddenly, she collapsed onto the floor. With her hair disheveled, she looked like an uncultured shrew. 

Max couldn‘t bear it anymore. He said tiredly, “I won‘t look into today‘s incident since your grandfather was a good friend of mine. However, I do not wish to see you ever again. Mr. Timbber, get this woman out of the manor now!” 

The butler nodded. 

Belle was still kicking and screaming as she was being lifted out by two buff guys. 

“Natalie, you will face the consequences for this one day! You will have bad karma for sure!” 

Natalie sipped on her wine casually. This is karma. Enjoy the dose of your own medicine. 

Shawn looked at Natalie and asked, “Are you okay?” 

“I‘m fine. This kind of misunderstanding is nothing to me.” Natalie smiled brightly, her eyes narrowing into slits as a result. 

“All right.” 

At that moment, the figure of a gentleman stood motionless in one of the corners of the banquet hall. It was none other than Samuel. 

Ever since he first entered the hall, his gaze was solely fixated on the woman in white. 

He had just returned from Loang and had received a countless number of Xavian‘s messages as soon as he landed. 

The first few messages were just texts. However, the last message was a photo of Natalie from behind. 

Xavian had secretly taken the photo while she was distracted. 

However, in the photo, Samuel could see how the dress accentuated Natalie‘s slender neck and delicate back. 

The mermaid tail design of the lower skirt complemented her curves and made them stand out even more.
