The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351

A hint of malice flashed across Yara’s eyes as her gaze riveted on the retreating figure.

She’s staring death in the face, but she’s not flinching. What would it take to break her facade?

Yara refused to believe that the incident today did not faze Natalie.

She had taken a gamble by approaching Lia. With Lia’s dirty secret in hand, Yara was confident that she could blackmail Lia into cooperating with her.

However, she did not expect Lia to harm herself to such an extent to deliver the job to perfection.

Nevertheless, the drug that Yara had fed Lia would do more than just make her vomit blood as Yara had initially promised. Instead, the effects of the drug would leave Lia comatose, if not dead.

Die, Natalie!

– The whole ordeal at the banquet left Kenneth weary as if he had aged years in a night.

“Yara, bring me back to the lounge. I need to rest for a bit,” Kenneth rasped.

“Yes, Grandpa,” Yara responded with deference as she escorted the old man upstairs.

Once they had arrived on the first floor, Kenneth inquired, “About the Lia… You had a hand in it, didn’t you?” His hoarse voice was barely above a whisper.

Kenneth had years of experience under his belt and had seen things beyond one’s imagination. It was not difficult for him to identify the culprit after some logical deduction.

“Grandpa, …” Yara struggled to deny, but words escaped her.

Anxiety seized Yara. She did not expect Kenneth to see through her ruse so quickly, nor did she want to leave the impression of a cunning woman.

It was impossible to survive in the elite circles without a couple of tricks up her sleeve, but ironically, manipulative women were detested by men. There was a fine line between wit and deceit, and it was a hefty price to pay if she failed to tread it.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going hold you to it.”

“In that case, what are you trying to imply?” Yara asked hesitantly.

“After bringing me back to the lounge, I want you to visit the hospital,” Kenneth instructed. “Let it be an attempted murder; there’s no need to sacrifice Lia’s life. I believe that with your medical expertise, you’ll be able to save her. I understand that you’re forced to commit sinful acts at times, but I sincerely hope that you can do some good to uphold the Bowers family reputation, if not your own.”

Conflicting emotions warred within Yara.
