The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677 How Dare You

Martin hurried over the moment he received the news from Yara. As he expected, he saw someone lying on the ground when he got to the escape route on the twelfth floor.

He thought that this operation had failed, but when he saw a woman covered in blood as she lay in the corner, unconscious and weak, his face lit up in wicked glee. “I have no idea she would be here! I looked high and low for her, but couldn’t find her. I almost thought-”

“Thought what?” a female voice cut him short. She tidied her messy hair and sneered at him. “I handed her to you on a plate, and yet you lost her. You’re so useless.”

“It’s not like you don’t know how sneaky she is,” Martin replied with a vicious grin. “I made sure her hands and legs were securely tied up before I went to shower. God knows she would slip away right under my nose?”

“Whatever. I found her just now, so make sure you don’t lose her again,” she answered, crossing her arms before her chest. “You’d better watch her closely now that she fooled you once. I don’t want you screwing up again, else you wouldn’t even know how you’d end up dying in her hands.”

Martin knew from the bottom of his heart that Yara had no respect for him; yet, he understood that what she said was all true.

“Don’t worry about it. There won’t be a second time.” Martin squinted his eyes as he eyed the unconscious woman nearby vehemently. “Natalie made me a joke in front of the Jacksons. I’ll see to it that everyone in Dellmoor sees her downfall even if I have to die.”

“I’ll hold you to your word then,” she said before taking one last look at him.

With that said, she turned swiftly and vanished behind the emergency exit door.

However, before she could walk any further after she closed the door behind her, a pang of stinging pain shot through her head.

The woman applied pressure on her wound with her hand, only to feel a touch of dampness on her hand.

Her steps halted, and she took a breather. She shook her head, trying to pull herself together. Then, she put on her sunglasses before walking out of the hotel with her head held high.
