Chapter 350 Try To Cover Up For Her
The corners of Natalie’s lips curled upward into a cold grin.
This is a baseless allegation!
Kenneth did not care if Natalie did drug Lia or not. The main issue was pushing the blame on her. With a blemish on her record, she would be unworthy of Samuel.
“Grandpa, she did not do it.” Samuel spoke solemnly.
The more Samuel tried to protect Natalie, the more frustrated Kenneth felt. He lashed out, “Samuel, why are you defending her at this point? Look at the situation!”
“If you think I’m defending her, so be it.” Samuel shrugged and replied, “If she says she did not do it, I believe her.”
“You b*stard! You need to learn right from wrong!” In the heat of the moment, Kenneth flung his walking stick in Samuel’s direction.
Although Samuel could have easily dodged it, he stood rooted to the ground and was hit squarely in the chest.
Everyone was speechless as they watched the scene unfold.
Out of concern, Natalie hugged Samuel’s arm and frowned. “Why didn’t you avoid it?”
“If I move away, he would only get angrier and hit you.” With a soft smile on his face, Samuel slowly said, “I have to respect him because he is my grandfather. However, I will also keep my promise to protect you.”
His words touched Natalie’s heart.
At that moment, her throat felt dry, and she could not find the right words to say.
On the other hand, Kenneth was furious that Samuel still stood on Natalie’s side even after the incident. He glanced around before he growled, “Samuel, you have to keep in mind that you are not only part of the Bowers Corporation but also the head of the Bowers family. Many people are watching your every move today. If you continue to cover up for this suspect, you are letting down your ancestors, including your parents in heaven.”
During the confrontation, some police interrupted the banquet.
They did not hesitate to surround Natalie and wanted to put the cuffs on her.
Unable to watch them take Natalie away, the twins stood in front of her like guards. It looked like they would willingly go with the police if they wanted to bring Natalie out.
At the same time, Samuel did not move. He frowned with a cold expression on his face.
Steven, Silas, and the others were also in a dilemma as they watched on.
All of this did not go unnoticed by Natalie.
Despite feeling upset because of the wrongful accusation, the people she trusted still had faith in her.
Samuel had done too much for her, and she could not watch him continue throwing away his reputation before Kenneth and the rest of the Bowers family because of her.
Standing on tiptoe, Natalie whispered into Samuel’s ear, “Thank you for trusting me, but you have to let me go with them. I know that you will find a way to get me out of there. However, you have to do it within three hours because if it takes any more time than that, Lia might lose her life, and no one will be able to verify the truth then.”
Afterward, Natalie gave Samuel’s cheek a soft kiss.
Gasp!
Everyone took in a sharp breath as they did not expect her to flirt with Samuel at this point.
Ignoring the crowd’s reactions, Natalie did not forget to bend down to instruct the twins after talking to Samuel.
“Listen to Daddy and Uncle Steven and trust them that I’ll be fine.”
With tears in their eyes, Franklin and Sophia nodded. Franklin murmured, “Okay, we’ll be good.”
“Good,” Natalie stated and gently caressed their heads.
Then, she straightened and held her hands out in front of the police.
Click! They handcuffed her.
As the police escorted her out, Natalie stood tall and looked calm.
Even though it was chaos, she still seemed unaffected.
In fact, the aura that she had at the banquet that night was one that left a deep impression on every guest.
