Chapter 419 The Ability to Revive Someone
Even though Billy and the others had not heard from Samuel for several minutes, they dared not enter the cold storage without proper protection because of the extreme temperature inside.
All they could do was wait for the housekeepers to get them the proper clothing.
Meanwhile, Scarlett slowly got up from the ground.
Since she never had to work a day in her life, her hands were almost as delicate as those of a baby but ended up bruised when she fell.
Scarlett then crossed her arms indifferently while watching everyone else around her get anxious. It was as though she was a goddess watching mere mortal fretting over trivial matters. Samuel should’ve found Natalie’s body by now. I guess the only reason he isn’t out yet is because he couldn’t accept the woman’s death. Samuel must be crying over the corpse right now. No matter how much he loves Natalie, there’s absolutely nothing he can do to revive a dead person. Samuel can cry as much as he wants, but not even an ocean of tears could bring the dead back to life. Oh, how I’ve waited for this day! Finally, Natalie Nichols is dead and out of my way! Now is my chance to win Samuel’s heart and marry the man.
“What are you guys doing here?” Suddenly, a familiar voice pulled Scarlett out of her fantasy.
Everyone immediately turned around and realized that voice belonged to none other than Natalie, who had a stole around her shoulders and a glass of wine in her hand.
All eyes were on Natalie as she made her way over to Scarlett.
“Natalie? How come you are here? I thought you were inside the cold storage,” stuttered Scarlett with her eyes widened in disbelief. For a moment there, Scarlett thought that she had seen a ghost. Natalie is supposed to be dead inside the cold storage! How is she standing in front of me now?
In response to that, Natalie smirked at Scarlett. “Why would you think that, Ms. Hamilton? And why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?”
Scarlett was immediately lost for words when Natalie pointed out how horrible she looked.
Amused, Natalie thought Scarlett would be difficult to deal with, but it turned out that the woman was just like any other skank she had come across.
“Are you disappointed that I didn’t stay inside the cold storage? It seems like you’re either the mastermind or an accomplice behind what happened tonight.” Although Natalie was smiling when she said those words, Scarlett knew that there was nothing friendly about them.
After all, if Natalie did not somehow manage to get out of the cold storage, she would have been killed in there.
Everyone at the scene could immediately figure out what Natalie implied, so they all shifted their attention to Scarlett, who started to get nervous under pressure.
Still, Scarlett tried her best to act calm. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Natalie. Do you have any proof?”
“I know how strict your family is when it comes to rules, so I don’t think anybody can just gain access to the cold storage as big as this one here without permission. Besides that, you seem more concerned about why I’m not in the cold storage than my safety. For some reason, you were pretty sure that I was in there,” stated Natalie as she purposely leaned in to further pressure Scarlett.
Since she knew that Yara and Scarlett would be careful not to leave any clues behind, Natalie intentionally stayed out of sight to make Scarlett think that everything was going according to plan.
Natalie waited for the right time to show herself so that she could catch Scarlett by surprise and reveal the woman’s true color to everyone.
Cornered, Scarlett knew that the only thing she could do now was to continue playing innocent. “What did I ever do to you? Why are you trying to slander me in public?”
“Huh, it’s funny how you ask me that. I should the one to ask you the question,” scoffed Natalie.
Even though everyone at the scene was glad to see that Natalie was fine, they suddenly remembered that Samuel had not yet come out of the cold storage.
“Ms. Nichols, I’m more than relieved to see you safe and sound, but Mr. Bowers has gone inside the cold storage to look for you and hasn’t come out yet!” informed Billy as he was worried about Samuel’s safety.
