Chapter 754 No Children
The three elders were once well-respected individuals. So, when they were asked to give a twenty-odd-year-old brat an apology, they were quite hesitant to do so. However, they did promise to do that, so they approached Natalie.
“All of us were certain that you were the culprit; we didn’t investigate the matter thoroughly and blindly trusted the rumors…”
“Thankfully, Mr. Samuel already predicted that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been alive.”
“We’re sorry for saying those horrible things to you. It’s our mistake. I hope you’re willing to forgive us and let us off the hook.”
Seeing how the three of them went against her because they were also fooled by Yara, she declared seriously, “It’s exactly as you three said. I hope that, in the future, you’ll make more level-headed judgments. After all, accusing an innocent person can destroy their lives!”
The three elders were filled with shame when they heard that. They raised their heads and stared at her.
She had attractive features and looked beautiful. Although she was not the typical shy, delicate lady, she exuded an air of confidence and calmness.
Even though they had lived for more than seven decades and had very high self-esteem, they couldn’t help but feel inferior when compared to her.
After they left, Kenneth talked to Samuel and Natalie a little longer.
Kenneth couldn’t help but sigh. “Five years ago, I mistook Yara for you. I wanted nothing more than to pair her up with Samuel for the past five years. Even though he treated her coldly, I still treated her as my granddaughter and leave everything to her when I die. I never expected that under her sweet appearance was an ugly and venomous heart. The moment she couldn’t get what she wants, she was willing to use me as a tool to frame someone else.”
Even after two weeks had passed, he still hadn’t recovered from the pain of Yara’s betrayal.
After all, he didn’t know he mistook her for someone else and he genuinely loved her for five years. The sorrow and helplessness he felt when Yara, the person whom he treated as his own granddaughter, betrayed her was immense.
Samuel and Natalie exchanged a look silently.
