Chapter 742 Talk About It In Bed
Right that instant, Yara finally had a grasp of the situation. She suddenly realized that King would not let Thomas off the hook easily. After all, he had backed her father up financially, pinning hope on him to get the mission accomplished. Since things went south, the latter had to pay the price.
At the thought of King’s callousness, Thomas and Yara went silent.
Grief-stricken, Thomas stared dispiritedly at his bandaged arm as he was lost in his thoughts. No words could describe his resentment and anguish after King instructed Gale to chop his hand off ruthlessly! Nonetheless, he was clueless about King’s exact identity. Even after staying by his side for years, he only knew that the latter was not from Chanaea. Evidently, he has been really good at hiding his identity all these years! There might even be an extremely powerful mastermind manipulating him in the dark!
How is it possible for me to fight against King?
Thomas sighed helplessly. He had no choice but to swallow his indignance and grievance.
Yara did not stay back to accompany Thomas in the ward. Instead, she stepped out of the hospital after having a word with the doctor.
Even though it was spring, she could feel an unusual whiff of frigidness as the night breeze blew at her. As she tightened the knitted cardigan around herself, there was an unmissable hint of anxiousness on her face. She thought King had spared her for the sake of Dexmed Pharmaceutical, but it only struck her that it was due to another reason.
She could still vividly remember what she overheard earlier. King had stopped Gale at the eleventh hour, saving her from facing the tragic fate of having a disfigured face just because she looked exactly like Natalie.
Hmph! The way King treats Natalie Nichols is seemingly in stark contrast to how he treats me! In his eyes, I must be a lowly small fry. On the contrary, it seems he admires her like a respectable opponent. We’re twin sisters. But why is everyone looking down on me? They not only have a soft spot for Natalie Nichols but are also in awe of her.
In an instant, waves of indecipherable emotions crashed into her heart, causing her entire body to shudder uncontrollably.
After what seemed like an eternity, Yara finally managed to cool her head off in the middle of the night. Wandering on the street, a glint of sheer frigidness and malice flickered in her eyes.
Snippets of how she confronted Natalie five years ago flashed across her mind. By right, only one of us can exist in this world! I must get rid of Natalie Nichols to have peace of mind!
The next second, she whipped out her phone from her bag. Tamping down her simmering abhorrence, she had no choice but to make a call to Reuben, Yuvaan’s son.
“Ah! Yara, finally a call from you! Does it mean that you’ve thought it through?” The latter’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.
Yuvaan was about seventy years old, while Reuben was already in his late forties, about the same age as Thomas.
After taking a deep breath, she asked placidly, “Where’re you now? I’ll go over to look for you. There’s something I need to discuss with you.”
“Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to have a discussion in the office at such a late hour?” Reuben replied ambiguously.
He had been having designs on Yara ever since he first set his eyes on her. Her stunning looks and alluring figure were irresistible to him. Not to mention, she had rejected him numerous times throughout the years, making him desire her even more.
Yara had been well aware of his ulterior motive since long ago. She stated coldly, “Let’s discuss in bed then. I hope you can keep your words to help me after I’ve satisfied you.”
It never occurred to Reuben that Yara would agree to make a deal with him. Over the moon, he laughed heartily. “Great! I’ll send you the location of the hotel in a while. I’ll wait for you there, okay?”
“Okay!” Yara replied impatiently and hung up.
Samuel, you’re trying to clear Natalie Nichols’ name as the culprit of Old Mr. Bowers’ death by all means, aren’t you? Well, you’ll soon know that it’s just your wishful thinking!
Raising her dainty face, Yara burst out laughing self-deprecatingly. A surge of resentment within her intensified as time elapsed.
In the meantime, it was calm and peaceful in the Bowers residence.
Natalie was coaching Sophia on medical skills patiently. Impressed by the latter’s tremendous advancement, she could not help heaving a sigh of admiration. Ah! I bet it’s just a matter of time before she surpasses me!
Compared to Sophia, the other three boys were obviously more independent in a way. At the moment, they had their heads buried in the books they were interested in, respectively.
Other parents usually lamented about their kids spending too much time on electronic devices, fearing they would have eyesight problems. Natalie could not help feeling amused that she might be the only parent worrying about her children having such problems from reading incessantly.
At the thought of that, Natalie called out to them, “Everyone, let’s have some fruits and take a break!”
