The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554 Most Deserving

With a cruel and evil smile on her lips, Melissa lifted her eyes and looked at Natalie

“In your opinion, I’m only a good-for-nothing fool who deserves being manipulated by you?” Melissa asked. “Still, I must admit that you are an honorable stepmother. Even though Sophia is not your biological daughter, you came when I used her to threaten you!”

Besides Melissa, there were two ugly and terrifying men standing behind her in the compartment.

Sophia’s mouth was sealed with duct tape and she could not speak even when she saw Natalie but only managed to whimper a few times.

Her big eyes were already red and swollen from crying, like two walnuts.

Natalie demanded with a cold voice. “Let her go! Whatever it is, just settle it between us.”

“Well, we can settle things without setting her free!”

Melissa’s long fingernails moved over Sophia’s delicate face. Though she did not draw blood, they left red scratch marks on her skin.

Sophia was scared and in pain but she could not make any sound. Natalie could see tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Melissa, is the grudge you have against me so deeply entrenched?” Natalie frowned and spoke evenly. “If this goes on, it won’t end well for me. You will be dragged along and pay for it as well!”

This method of exacting revenge could hurt the enemy but would cause more harm to oneself. Natalie would never apply this even to Yara and Thomas.

Hence, she could not understand why Melissa would go so far.

“Natalie!” Melissa yelled angrily as she thrust Sophia away from her and onto her men behind her. With a crazed and demanding tone, she questioned Natalie accusingly, “You are shameless enough to ask me this? Why me? Why have you forced me into this situation?”

Natalie narrowed her eyes as she met Natalie’s vicious gaze which were full of venom.
