The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel)
Chapter 347

Chapter 347

I'm supposed to be their biological mother! Yet, they do not even show me any respect.

The twins had always been Yara's trump card for her to marry into the Bowers family. However, instead of being of help to her, it seemed the kids were determined to pull her back. Thinking about that, she could not control her fury any longer.

Once I get married to Samuel, I must think of a way to let those children join their mother in the afterlife.

Since everyone was staring at them, Yara had to remind herself repeatedly not to act out.

She clenched her fists in an attempt to tamp down her fury. Batting her eyelids, she pretended to be sad and seemed like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

“Franklin, Sophia, I-I didn't mean anything by that. Besides, I'm not trying to force you to acknowledge me,”

Suddenly, Kenneth's expression soured, and he concluded, “I've had enough! Do you have to make someone cry at the banquet for Silas?”

Although he was no longer the head of the Bowers family, everyone still respected him.

Given that they had achieved their goals, the twins gradually returned to their usual temperament. However, they secretly chided Kenneth for believing in Yara's pity act. At the age of five, they could already see through her facade. They wondered how Kenneth could continue believing in her.

The whole time, Samuel said nothing but stared at his wife protectively.

Slightly shaken up, Silas quietly sipped on his wine as he observed the expressions on everyone's faces.

He could see that the twins and Samuel were very protective of Natalie.

They looked like they would do everything to shield her from the storm.

Hah! I didn't have to do anything and Yara's already mad.

A victorious look flashed across Natalie's eyes. She finally understood why so many people liked the feeling of winning without lifting a finger. It was indeed satisfying.

Following that, the banquet went on as planned.

Stiffly, Kenneth ordered, “Samuel, Silas, I want you to accompany me to meet some of our relatives. Franklin and Sophia should tag along too.”

The Bowers family was large.

In addition to their direct relatives, many extended family members had attended the event as well. “I'm going to have to leave for a while.”

"Go ahead.” Natalie assured him, “I can take care of myself.”

"Okay, I will be back as soon as possible.”

“All right, I got it. Run along now.” Natalie chuckled. “I'm not a child, and I'm not as weak as you think.”

“All right.”

Since Yara was not officially part of the Bowers family yet, she had no right to join them.

Standing under a chandelier, the two women glanced at each other.

The face before Natalie seemed similar to hers, except for the coldness in her eyes.

"Samuel is mine. You will never win against me, Natalie.” Since no one was around, Yara decided to drop her pretense and openly express her disgust for Natalie.

"Okay," Natalie replied nonchalantly.

The lukewarm response made her seem indifferent to Yara's comment.

"Y-You!" Yara shot death glares at Natalie.

Raising her glass of wine, Natalie slowly walked up to Yara and whispered in her ear, “From my knowledge, you have a sister born out of wedlock. She has the same name as me. However, a big fire happened five years ago and burned her alive. No one could recover her bones either.” Instantly, Yara froze, and her face turned as white as a sheet.

"H-How did you..."

The Nichols family and I have tried our best to cover up the incident back then. So how did she... Besides, Natalie came from the countryside. After arriving at Dellmoor, everyone attributed her achievements to me since we looked alike. As such, only a handful of people remembered Natalie. So how did she know about it?

Seeing the panic in Yara's eyes, Natalie could not help but smirk.

“I'm curious, Yara. When you go to bed at night, won't you dream of Natalie sometimes? After all, both of you are blood-related.”
