Chapter 274 A Mysterious Death
Alfred’s expression turned extremely grim after hearing that.
Nevertheless, there was nothing he could do except bow down to the man.
His granddaughters were important to him, but the family’s future would be handed over to his grandson.
Hence, to secure the deal with the Bowers family, he would do anything. Including sacrificing the two girls.
“I understand.”
Alfred was no longer in a dilemma after giving it some serious thought.
“In three days, I’ll show you what you want to see.” He looked like he had aged a few years as he spoke. His hoarse voice was a clear indication of the stress and fatigue from cleaning up the little ones’ mess.
“Okay.”
Samuel nodded curtly and looked a little happier.
Even though Natalie didn’t fall into Phoebe and Susan’s ploy, they had hurt her to a certain extent.
Natalie was his soft spot, and he would make anyone who dared to harm her pay with their blood.
Meanwhile, Natalie, who was in the corner, curled her lips after she saw the scuffle between Phoebe and Susan.
Serve them right! If their plans weren’t so cruel, they wouldn’t have fallen into my trap. If it weren’t for me seeing through their schemes before this, the criticism toward me would be even harsher since I don’t have the Leister family backing me up.
The Natalie Nicholas without the mask looked stunning.
With her smile and brilliant eyes, Natalie stole the hearts of anyone who had a glimpse of her beauty.
Gale, too, He was stunned by Natalie, who was in a maid uniform, when he passed by.
“A-Are you the Leister family’s maid?” he asked passionately as he stared at her face. “What’s your name?”
Natalie was at a loss for words.
What the heck is this? I thought I’d be safe if I took off my mask and changed into this uniform. Why am I being noticed?
“The butler is looking for me. I must go,” Natalie said softly and lowered her head.
As soon as she finished, she immediately turned around and left.
“Wait!” Gale had felt his heart racing the moment he laid eyes on Natalie, so there was no way he was going to let her go. Thus, he chased after her. “I have questions to ask. Why are you running? You haven’t told me your name!”
Hearing that, Natalie sped up.
However, Gale was persistent and followed suit.
She rolled her eyes. Which wealthy family is this guy from? Why is he chasing after me?
Right then, Samuel suddenly spoke.
“Gale!”
Gale halted, turned toward the voice, and was surprised to see Samuel.
“M-Mr. Bowers?”
He did not expect Samuel would suddenly call out to him like that, so he was a little stunned. That said, his gaze remained longingly on the silhouette that was leaving. There was dissatisfaction written all over his face.
Meanwhile, Samuel merely stood there and said nothing.
Since Gale dared not move, he could only watch as the woman he had just met disappeared from his sight.
He felt frustrated, but no amount of courage could make him express that to Samuel.
At the same time, the latter looked grim while he remained silent, making Gale feel increasingly embarrassed the longer he stared at him.
“Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Bowers?”
Samuel approached Gale, brushed off the dust on his shoulders, and helped to straighten his collar.
At that moment, Gale felt an immense pressure weighing down on him from Samuel’s profound gaze.
What did I do to piss him off?
“I heard your family has arranged a marriage for you at the beginning of the year.”
Gale kept quiet.
“You should be a little more loyal to your fiancée,” Samuel warned in a low voice. “There are some people you should never even think of touching unless you’d want to die a mysterious death.”
