The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749 Betting His Reputation On It

Everyone inside the mourning hall gasped in horror.

No one managed to say a word, for all they could feel at that moment was complete shock.

At present, the mourning hall looked rather grim, with white chrysanthemums surrounding it. Kenneth’s body wasn’t placed there, although there was a photograph of him in the center.

Moreover, Miguel and the other two elders had watched Kenneth breathe his last with their own eyes.

Hence, the former was instantly triggered by Natalie’s comment despite having finally calmed down a while ago.

Even Samuel could be seen furrowing his brows and glancing at her skeptically, but while he didn’t know what she was up to, he still seemed convinced of her capabilities.

I know she can protect herself.

Even if she can’t, she’ll always have me.

I won’t ever let anyone touch a single strand of her hair!

“Natalie Nichols, we’ve already agreed to give Mr. Samuel more time to find out the truth. This is the most we’re willing to do,” Miguel remarked furiously. “But now, here you are running your mouth about how Kenneth isn’t dead! Do you think we’re foolish enough to believe your nonsense?”

“I said he’s not dead, so he isn’t.” Natalie ran her fingers through her hair and smiled faintly.

“You!” Miguel pointed at her while shaking with rage. “Y-You… Are you aware of what you’re saying? This is ridiculous! How dare you spout such nonsense here in front of everyone! You may be under Mr. Samuel’s protection, but that doesn’t mean you can keep spewing rubbish like that! The gods are watching! Do you not fear their wrath?”

“He’s right! How could she say such a thing?”

“It’s because she has Mr. Samuel protecting her, but this is just too much!”
