Chapter 404 Dead Men Tell No Tales

“Yara, are you afraid now?” Melissa squeezed her face like how she did to her earlier on. “Look at you now!”

Yara was so furious that she wished she could tear Melissa to pieces.

However, the moment she recalled that Melissa knew about her secret, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and be submissive.

“Melissa, although we have different mothers, I have always treated you nice most of the time, haven’t I?”

“My dear Yara, that wasn’t what you said just now when you were teaching me a lesson!” Melissa put on an innocent front, but she had a smug look in her eyes.

“Melissa, I beg of you. Please don’t tell anyone about this,” pleaded Yara. “If the Bowers family knows the truth, they won’t let me off. At the same time, they won’t let the Nichols family off either. When the reputation of the Nichols family goes down the drain, what’s going to happen to your future? Why don’t you keep this secret for me? Once I am married to Samuel, I will try my best to replace a good husband for you…”

Melissa was not an ambitious person.

She was aware that she was not particularly intelligent. All she wanted was to fall in love with a wealthy and handsome man and marry him. As long as she could enjoy a life of luxury, she would not ask for much.

That was why she was tempted when she heard what Yara said. “Really? Are you lying to me?”

Yara threw her a question back. “You have my secret. Why would I be lying to you?”

“That’s true.” Melissa released her hand and straightened her back. “If you don’t replace me a good husband, then I will tell the Bowers family about your secret! I doubt you will have the guts to lie to me again!”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Melissa left Yara’s bedroom.

As Yara was getting up from the floor, her eyes were filled with pure evil.

Melissa, Melissa. You are indeed a young lass with such a simple mind.

Why would I let you hold me hostage!

Only dead men can keep their mouths shut and never reveal any secrets.

Just wait and see!

I’m going to replace an opportunity and shut you up forever!

On the days when Samuel was not around, Natalie would split her time between the coroner’s office, Dream Corporation, and the Bowers residence.

When she was at home, she would spend most of her time teaching Sophia about traditional medicine.

Natalie had intentionally slowed her pace of teaching in case Sophia found it difficult to understand.

However, Sophia’s level of understanding and progress had far surpassed Natalie’s expectations. Sophia was a fast learner. It was as if she was born to study medicine.

Natalie was surprised by Sophia’s talents. Her mommy must be a very smart woman too.

The two of them were at it for three to four hours.

Gavin brought cakes and milk for Sophia and the three boys.

The four of them were feeling hungry and could not wait to devour the cakes.

Gavin teased, “The three boys dote on Ms. Sophia a lot. Even when she is studying, they will keep her accompanied. The way I see it, the four of them are as close as real siblings…”

“Yes, they are… They are like real brothers and sister.”

Natalie looked at the four of them enjoying their cakes and mumbled to herself over and over again.

She wished that the twins, who had been taken by Yara, were still alive.

If Yara wanted her dead, there was no way she would keep the twins alive.

Natalie could not help but shake her head. Perhaps, she was missing them too much. That was why she was having crazy thoughts.

Just then, Natalie’s phone rang.

She put down her fork and walked to the window to answer the call.

“It’s me.” Lia sounded panicky. “Yara has contacted me again and wants me to deal with you. What should I do? What should I do now?”
