The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

“So, it was an accident?” Samuel asked with an eyebrow raised.

“The snake can be found in this mountain itself, so it is possible that the snake came here to hibernate due to the hot springs in the area,” Billy replied.

“Ms. Jolene has been working here for over ten years, hasn’t she?” Samuel asked.

“Sir, you don’t think she did it, do you?” Billy instinctively dismissed the possibility of Jolene being involved. I’ve seen her at work in the past two years. Ms. Jolene is a very responsible person who always pays great attention to detail. The snake showing up at the resort was probably just a careless mistake on her part.

“Regardless of whether she did it or not, she is still at fault for Nat getting hurt. I could have her killed for that. In view of her great performance over her many years of service, I’m willing to spare her the cruel punishments. However, the Bowers family will never hire someone like her ever again,” Samuel said coldly.

Billy knew full well that Natalie meant the world to Samuel, and that he was being incredibly merciful toward Jolene.

“Understood, Sir,” he replied with a nod.

After breakfast, Samuel drove Natalie and Sophia back to the Bowers residence. As the other three boys couldn’t fit into the Hummer, they had no choice but to return in Billy’s Maybach.

Gavin quickly came out to welcome them the moment their cars arrived at the Bowers residence.

Natalie was flipping through the latest medical magazine on the couch after lunch.

Sophia walked up to her with a glass of orange juice in hand and asked with a smile, “Mommy, can I talk to you about something?”

The three boys kept quiet and simply stared at Natalie from afar.

Hmm… She must’ve done something wrong if she’s behaving strangely like this.

With that in mind, Natalie took the glass of orange juice from her and asked casually, “All right, then. Let’s hear it.”

Sophia was clearly nervous as she kept twiddling her fingers the whole time.
