The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368

With an innocent expression, Lia knelt in front of Natalie without warning.

Meanwhile, passersby at the bar began looking at them and eyed Natalie with disdain.

Natalie cleared her throat awkwardly. “Get up now.”

Biting her lips in guilt, Lia replied, “Lionel told me that you saved my life despite what I did to you. If it wasn’t for you, the Grim Reaper would’ve taken me.”

Her words stunned Yandel who was standing beside Natalie.

He hated Lia, as he only heard about how she framed Natalie. Thus, he didn’t expect her to express her remorse to Natalie. At that moment, it dawned upon him why Natalie, who wasn’t particularly merciful, had asked him to help.

Considering how drunk Lia was, Natalie pulled her back up from the ground.

“Yandel, go get a room and ask for a hangover remedy and hot towel,” Natalie instructed.

“Yes, Boss.”

With great efficiency, Yandel arranged for a VIP room where everything Natalie had requested was prepared.

After laying Lia down on the sofa, she handed her a bowl of the hangover remedy.

“You’ll feel a lot better after drinking this,” Natalie suggested indifferently.

Even though she didn’t hate Lia, it was still too much to expect Natalie not to feel wary.

Receiving the bowl, Lia began to sip gradually.

“Ms. Nichols.” Lia didn’t dare look Natalie in the eye.

“What is this secret of yours that’s so important?” Natalie asked.

Now that the Johnson family had a son, the elders stopped pressuring Lia’s parents to break up.

As time went by, Lionel took over as the head of the Johnson family despite having no blood relations with them.

In conclusion, that was the massive secret protected by the Johnson family.

“On top of that, what else is there?”. Natalie pressed on.

Taken aback, Lia stared at Natalie in disbelief.

Even Yandel reacted the same way. Isn’t what she said shocking enough? Is there something that’s even more explosive?

“Considering that you are the true daughter of the Johnson family, you would stand to benefit greatly if Lionel is exposed as an orphan.” Natalie continued, “Consequently, he should be the one that should feel threatened, not you. In fact, if his secret is revealed, the elders of the Johnson family would rally behind you to seize control of the family. So, isn’t that good for you?”
