Chapter 1032 Disregarding My Suffering
With Natalie’s fingers constricting around her windpipe, Heidi’s diminutive face turned blue as she found it harder and harder to respirate.
In the corner of her eye, the sight of her impotent subordinates got Heidi incensed. The flames inside her raged furiously, but her hands simply hurt too much, leaving her unable to defend herself.
Just then, Heidi saw the mechanism to the hidden room’s entrance move asudden. Following that, the door steadily opened.
In came a tall, strapping figure with the light casting in from behind him.
When Heidi got a clearer view of that face, her pupils shrunk.
It’s him! Samuel Bowers! He’s the only one who can save me now!
Tears flowed ceaselessly from Heidi’s eyes, and the vicious look that was there before vanished without a trace. At that moment, she had taken to portraying herself as pitiful and vulnerable instead.
“Please, Mr. Bowers… Save me!” a tearful Heidi cried in earnest.
Not expecting for Samuel to intrude upon that moment, Natalie naturally withdrew her right hand from Heidi’s throat when she turned to regard him.
Given the opportunity to catch her breath, Heidi reflexively took in fresh air by the mouthful while she sat slumped on the floor.
“What are you doing here?” asked Natalie with a frown.
“How else would I have been able to see all of this if I didn’t?” Samuel replied, his phoenix eyes basking in a cold glint.
Seeing how frosty Samuel’s demeanor was, Heidi mistakenly believed that he would come to her aid.
That was when an idea struck her.
She staggered over toward Samuel, sobbing, “Thank goodness that you got here in the nick of time, Mr. Bowers!”
Just as Heidi was half-expecting for Samuel to sweep her up into a princess carry, the man gently held his hands around Natalie’s instead. He breathed lightly against her with eyes full of tenderness. “Does it hurt?”
“Not anymore,” replied Natalie, shaking her head.
“Really?”
Natalie nodded once more. “Yes. Honestly!”
Once satisfied that there was indeed no real damage done to Natalie’s dainty hands, Samuel then let go of them. The tension between his brows also saw a complete reprieve.
Heidi was dumbstruck.
Left ignored at the side and treated as though she was invisible, Heidi’s tears started to well up.
“I’m the one who’s been badly hurt, Samuel Bowers!” said Heidi amidst her accusative tears. “You saw her put her hands on my throat. She even said that she wanted to leave me to be violated by these three filthy men. How could you protect such a wicked woman while disregarding my suffering?”
