The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416

“And whose fault is that? You’ve always been a troublemaker! If only you’re more like your sister, then I wouldn’t be so worried for your future,” complained Charles.

Zayden waved his hand in response, showing that he had had enough of his grandfather’s lecturing. “I get it. You’re trying to tell me that you like Scarlett more than me. Whatever… But I mean what I said. Even if Samuel did find the woman’s corpse in this place, it has absolutely nothing to do with me!”

After listening to that, Charles was finally convinced that his grandson was innocent.

The elderly man then turned to look at his granddaughter and remarked, “You seem awfully quiet today, Scarlett.”

Immediately, Scarlett felt uneasy when Charles shifted his attention to her, for she knew exactly where Natalie was.

After witnessing how Samuel reacted to Natalie’s disappearance, Scarlett had gotten more nervous than she initially thought. No matter what, I can’t let Samuel figure out that I’m involved!

The birthday party officially ended when men and dogs alike started combing through the place in search of Natalie.

Spearheading the operation was Samuel himself, who initially only wanted to surprise Natalie but never expected that she would disappear from the party.

Even though Samuel knew that Natalie was almost as clever as he was, he worried that she might slip up and got herself into trouble.

Samuel could not help but worry at the thought of finding Natalie injured or worse, but still, he had to press on.

“Sir, we’ve searched every corner from the north side to the central hall but still nothing,” reported Billy to Samuel.

“Keep looking. Send your men to check the surveillance and question the Hamiltons’ staff. Nobody just disappears like that.”

“Yes, Sir!” Billy hurriedly ordered his men to carry out Samuel’s orders.

Scarlett had already changed out of her luxurious evening gown when she walked up to Samuel.
