Chapter 707 A Woman Who Spells Trouble

Thud! Natalie dropped her book unknowingly. Her frown deepened into a scowl as she stated, “I’ll go with you.”

Samuel nodded. “All right!”

They hopped into their car at once and headed toward the Bowers manor.

By the time they reached the manor, all the elders and relatives from the Bowers family were already there. Everyone was grief-stricken. Some of their relatives and close friends were even shedding their tears.

When Samuel and Natalie came into view, Steven asked Samuel awkwardly, “Sam, how about you let Natalie go back first?”

“Why? Is there anything wrong?” Samuel asked doubtfully in a low voice.

“Sam, things don’t look good now. You’d better let her leave first,” Steven replied hesitantly.

His words caught Natalie off guard. “I…” Perplexed, she pointed at herself instinctively.

On the other hand, Jefford had already made his way toward Samuel and Natalie with a few elders from the Bowers family.

“She’s the culprit! This woman had prescribed Old Mr. Bowers the medicine, claiming that it could cure his illness! But he ended up losing his life instead of being cured by her!” Pointing at Natalie, he put on a show to convince the elders.

Even though the few elders were not as influential as Samuel in the Bowers family, they were in their old age and had sacrificed a lot for the family. Thus, they were ranked right after Samuel, the patriarch, in the family.

Astounded by Jefford’s words, they fastened their gazes on Natalie.

Miguel, the head of the elders, was flustered and fumed, “Since this woman is the prime suspect, what on earth are you waiting for? Send her to the police station now!”

Hearing that, the Bowers family’s bodyguard stepped forward to grab hold of Natalie. Right that instant, Samuel stood in their way coldly. “Wait a minute! How dare you lay your finger on my woman!”

Miguel looked in Samuel’s direction and added solemnly, “Mr. Samuel, I don’t give a d*mn if she’s your woman! We can’t let her off for sure as she had poisoned your grandpa! No matter what, she has to pay the price for what she had done!”

Yuvaan, the second elder of the Bowers family, echoed, “Yeah! Jefford is also a senior of the Bowers family. How’s it possible for him to slander anyone!”

Meanwhile, Xylan, the third elder of the Bowers family, pointed out. “Samuel, don’t lose touch with reality just because of a woman! After all, it’s not worthy for you to back such a despicable woman up!”

As everyone from the Bowers family kept their penetrative eyes glued to Natalie, Samuel discreetly pulled her behind his back.

“Everyone, please listen to me! I’m sure there’s something fishy about Grandpa’s sudden death. Thus, we shouldn’t jump to a hasty conclusion.” Samuel’s eyes darkened as he exuded an imposing aura. “I vow to leave no stones unturned to get to the bottom of this matter. No matter what, I’ll seek justice for the Bowers family and my grandpa! As for her…”

He paused and enunciated unwaveringly, “She couldn’t be the culprit!”

Miguel’s heart wrenched as he wailed, “You’re a lot younger than us, but we all respect you as the patriarch of the family. I wonder if she has cast any spell on you! How could you turn a blind eye to your grandpa’s tragic death and insist on backing her up instead?”

Yuvaan and Xylan grimaced as they reprimanded Samuel.

“Before this, I overheard that you’ve mobilized the Bowers family’s manpower to track her down from the ocean for almost one month! She’s undoubtedly a woman who spells trouble to the Bowers family!”

“How could you abandon Franklin and Sophia’s biological mother just so you can be with such an ugly woman with freckles all over her face?”

Oh my! Samuel certainly can’t clear their doubt at the moment! Mustering up her courage, Natalie was about to emerge from behind Samuel, but he grabbed hold of her.

“Just come at me and don’t bother her with anything.” Samuel looked up gradually and scanned everyone on the spot. “I’m willing to vouch for her with my role as the patriarch of the Bowers family. If she is proven to be the culprit, I’ll bring her to justice and step down!” The hint of utter resoluteness in Samuel’s tone astounded everyone.

The three elders of the Bowers family held their tongues instantly with sheer disbelief in their eyes.
