Chapter 52 Marry Into The Bowers Family

“Hey. Stop dreaming. Who gave you such confidence to think that you looked much prettier than Natalie?” Franklin gave Yara the side-eye.

“Y-You…”

“What? Did I say anything wrong?” He knitted his brows and looked at Yara in disdain. “I wonder why an adult like you still doesn’t have any self-awareness.”

“Did you just say I don’t have any self-awareness?” She squatted down and held his shoulders. “Listen. I am the biological mother of you and Sophia. No matter how much you hate me, this is a fact that will never change. Sooner or later, I will move into the Bowers residence and officially become your mommy.”

If the twins were not Samuel’s children, she would have sent them to hell with Natalie.

After all, they were her bargaining chip to marry into the Bowers family.

To avoid being questioned, everything must be under her control.

“Well, you say that yourself. We’ve never admitted to that.” Franklin raised his eyebrow and spoke indifferently.

Yara shouted, “Franklin Bower, you-”

“Daddy, why are you here?” Franklin suddenly hollered as he looked at the person standing behind Yara.

Startled by his words, she quickly let go of Franklin and stood up.

As she turned around, she put on her gentle smile, but there was no one behind.

Realizing Franklin had tricked her, she yelled, “You!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Hahaha! Someone like you want to marry my daddy?” Franklin scrunched up his face and stuck his tongue out at her. “Dream on!”

He was too lazy to bother with Yara and turned to hold Sophia’s hand later. “Sophia, let’s go!”

Sophia did not have a good impression of Yara either. Hence, she obediently followed Franklin to the foyer, leaving Yara behind.

Watching the twins leave, Yara trembled with anger. “B*tch!”

In truth, the twins’ biological mother was Natalie.

However, they were so well-behaved and obedient to another woman named Natalie as well.

Damn it! Why does someone with the name of Natalie keep showing up around me? It’s so annoying!

She muttered to herself, “Another Natalie, huh? I’m going to make you regret using this name!”

At Centurion Corporation, Samuel stood in front of a large window overlooking the scenery beneath.

Watching the bustling streets in Dellmoor, he was deep in thought.

Knock! Knock!

After a few knocks on the door, he finally came back to his senses.

“Come in.”

Billy entered the office and placed a few documents that needed to be signed onto Samuel’s desk before reporting about work progression clearly and concisely.

A dark expression loomed over Samuel’s face as he listened to the details without paying full attention.

After Billy finished reporting, Samuel asked nothing about work. Instead, he ordered, “Billy, help me to investigate Yara and the Nichols family.”

“Sir, didn’t we investigate them before?”

“That information is too general. What I want to know is something more than that.” Resting his chin on his palm, Samuel cast a meaningful glance at Billy. “I don’t care about what had happened to Yara in the past. What I’m concerned about are the Nichols family’s secrets. For example, Thomas has another daughter of similar age to Yara.”

Although Billy did not know Samuel’s intention of requesting him to investigate the Nichols family, he knew there must be a reason behind this.

Billy nodded. “Sir, I’ll send someone to investigate them.”

“Okay.”

A moment later, something crossed Samuel’s mind, and he reminded, “Remember to keep a low profile throughout the investigation. Make sure not to alert anyone.”

“Yes.”

After Billy left, Samuel strummed his fingers on the desk and went into deep thought.

He was referring to Natalie when he reminded Billy not to alert anyone.

This woman is good at hiding her true self. She disguises herself by wearing a mask to cover her face, protecting her real identity all the time. She must have been hurt by someone deeply before. That’s why she disguises herself so that no one can ever hurt her again.

The more Natalie acted that way, the more Samuel’s heart ached for her.

He did not want to force her to reveal her true identity or admit anything. He would rather patiently wait for the day she told him everything herself.

Meanwhile, Natalie went to work at the Major Crimes Unit.

While performing an autopsy, she briefed, “The cause of death is not the trauma caused to the victim’s abdomen but the wound on his head. Three steel nails were nailed into his head. We will send the nails to the forensic department for analysis after this.”

Brandon handed the tools to Natalie while Effie took pictures and recorded all the observations during the autopsy.

After performing a complete autopsy, Natalie left the autopsy room and bumped into an old man in uniform at the coroner’s office.

“Grandpa!” Effie was the first to speak.

The old man was the top police officer of the Major Crimes Unit, Gerald Jones.

Effie was surprised to see her grandfather in the office, whereas Brandon was lost in thought, not knowing what to do because he had never met the higher-ups before.

On the other hand, Natalie reacted as if she had met an old friend. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Hey, Mr. Jones. What brought you here today?”

“Natalie? Oh, my goodness! What happened to your face?” Gerald was shocked when he saw her.
