The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1033

Calmly glancing at Natalie, Samuel spoke through his thin lips. “This woman here is my wife, Ms. Leitz. Who are you, and why should your suffering concern me?”

Samuel's words got Heidi all worked up and made her blood boil.

Raising a denunciatory finger toward Natalie, she stated her case with ferocity. “Is this woman allowed to denigrate others and do as she pleased just because she's your wife? The poison in my hands and the marks around my throat are all her doing! As head of the Bowers family, how could you allow her to commit these unspeakable deeds? Do you mean to say that you are willing to abet her unconditionally?”

Heidi felt extremely confident about herself after having said what she did because she did not believe there to be true love within the circle of the rich.

Geert was deemed to be sufficiently devoted to her mother, yet it was not enough to motivate him to come by the border town to seek her mother and herself out before Helma's mother passed on.

Surely Samuel's love for Natalie only extends as far as her ability to behave herself as well? Once she crossed the line, Samuel would definitely distance himself from her, just as Father did with Mother.

Surprisingly, Samuel looked Heidi unwaveringly in the eye and enunciated, word for word, “That's right. I'd be willing to stand by her, no matter what. Even if she wished to torch houses and take lives, I'd always believe that she'd have some overwhelming reasons for doing so. Prior to today, I've already had my subordinate convey what I had to say to you in courtesy. Yet, you continue to be persistent. You do not seem to like your own father very much, Ms. Leitz, but what have you got apart from what he has given you? As someone who has nothing, you've no right to compare yourself to Nat!”

Natalie gazed toward Samuel's profile while she stood by his side. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

She knew well that with Samuel's intellect, he was not going to be fooled by Heidi's lowly tactics, but to really hear him speak that way to another woman with her own ears left her profoundly touched inside.

That came to Heidi as a major blow.

On top of being rejected by a man she adored, she found herself at the receiving end of his barbs. Those words had unquestionably pierced her heart.

“I...” Driven to the brink, Heidi began to shriek hysterically, “I am Heidi Leitz, and my father is a member of the Loang aristocracy. In what way am I not better than her? Why is it that you don't like me? Why? I can certainly do much better than she has! She may have Dream, but I could similarly start a company and be my own chairwoman!”

Rescinding his gaze in disdain, Samuel handed her a single-word review. “Crass.”

After he surveyed the expanse of the entire secret room, Samuel's attention fell upon the trio that Heidi had purposefully brought in.

“They are?”

“These three had been specifically chosen by Heidi herself for me to sleep with,” Natalie replied.

Samuel's mood immediately darkened, and that already frigid gaze of his instantly dipped another few degrees till it verged on sub-zero. Do these scum think they could lay their grubby paws on my Honey, my heart of hearts?

Natalie, too, was able to feel the aura that emanated from Samuel grow increasingly mortifying.

“We should go, Samuel.”

“Billy,” Samuel hailed.

A man then stepped out from amongst Heidi's subordinates. That was Billy in disguise.

When Samuel allowed Natalie to enter the secret room herself, he only did so on the condition that Billy went along in accompaniment. It was also because of Billy's stealthy tampering that such thick chains had not been able to keep Natalie restrained.

“Mr. Bowers,” said Billy when he approached.

“Take care of things here,” said Samuel passively. “Since these three men had all been chosen and brought here for Natalie by Ms. Leitz, don't let it go to waste. Stay here and oversee things while Ms. Leitz uses them. If she still isn't satisfied, find her more of them according to the standards set by these three.”
