Chapter 416
“And whose fault is that? You’ve always been a troublemaker! If only you’re more like your sister, then I
wouldn’t be so worried for your future,” complained Charles.
Zayden waved his hand in response, showing that he had had enough of his grandfather’s lecturing. “I
get it. You’re trying to tell me that you like Scarlett more than me. Whatever… But I mean what I said.
Even if Samuel did find the woman’s corpse in this place, it has absolutely nothing to do with me!”
After listening to that, Charles was finally convinced that his grandson was innocent.
The elderly man then turned to look at his granddaughter and remarked, “You seem awfully quiet today,
Scarlett.”
Immediately, Scarlett felt uneasy when Charles shifted his attention to her, for she knew exactly where
Natalie was.
After witnessing how Samuel reacted to Natalie’s disappearance, Scarlett had gotten more nervous
than she initially thought. No matter what, I can’t let Samuel figure out that I’m involved!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe birthday party officially ended when men and dogs alike started combing through the place in
search of Natalie.
Spearheading the operation was Samuel himself, who initially only wanted to surprise Natalie but never
expected that she would disappear from the party.
Even though Samuel knew that Natalie was almost as clever as he was, he worried that she might slip
up and got herself into trouble.
Samuel could not help but worry at the thought of finding Natalie injured or worse, but still, he had to
press on.
“Sir, we’ve searched every corner from the north side to the central hall but still nothing,” reported Billy
to Samuel.
“Keep looking. Send your men to check the surveillance and question the Hamiltons’ staff. Nobody just
disappears like that.”
“Yes, Sir!” Billy hurriedly ordered his men to carry out Samuel’s orders.
Scarlett had already changed out of her luxurious evening gown when she walked up to Samuel.
“Is there anything I can do to help, Samuel?” inquired Scarlett, pretending to be concerned.
“No. There’s nothing you can do,” rejected Samuel directly.
“Please understand that I’m only trying to help, Samuel. She went missing on our family property, so I
should be responsible for what happened to her. There has to be something I can
help you with. After all, I’m more familiar with this place than you or your men.”
After listening to the last part, Samuel figured that Scarlett had got a point. “Fine. You can come with
me. Just don’t get in the way.”
“You won’t regret it,” promised Scarlett with a smile.
The only reason she wanted to follow Samuel was that she got worried and needed to confirm Natalie’s
death with her own eyes.
Samuel’s sudden appearance did somewhat catch Scarlett by surprise, but she had already ensured
everything to go according to her plan. Soon, the clues will lead them to the cold storage, where they’ll

finally find Natalie’s corpse. It’s been more than two hours, so she should be a human popsicle by now.
When Samuel nor Hans still could not find Natalie after a while, Yana burst into tears, no longer able to
control her emotions. “Where could Natalie have possibly gone? I just tried calling her again, but it
didn’t go through this time. Something must’ve happened to her!”
Hans wanted to comfort Yana, but at the same time, he was worried that he might be giving her false
hope.
It would destroy Vana emotionally if something were to happen to Natalie.
On the other hand, Samuel still strongly believed that Natalie would be fine.
“She will be fine! I won’t allow anything to happen to her!” exclaimed Samuel firmly with unquestionable
resolve, so Yana decided to hold out hope for just a little longer.
After listening to Samuel, Scarlett could not help but sigh because she knew the man would be
disappointed. Not even God himself can save Natalie now.
Suddenly, Billy ran up to Samuel, still gasping for air as he informed the man, “Sir, we found
something!”
