Chapter 87 I Will Leave Samuel

The sweet smile on Yara’s face was a stark contrast to her chilly gaze.

“Samuel’s friends are my friends. I believe that we have an affinity with each other.”

Natalie and Yara were biological sisters from the same mother. No matter how subtle Yara tried to make it, Natalie could tell that she was establishing her dominance and possession over Samuel.

Natalie briefly recalled the time in the book cafe when she wasn’t wearing a mask and was mistaken as Yara by Samuel.

Back then, Samuel had pinned her against a bookshelf in a corner and kissed her forcefully.

The kiss was so intense that her lips bled and became swollen.

Now, after hearing Yara’s words, Natalie sneered. Her eyes were filled with indignance.

“You and Samuel…”

“Him and I.” As soon as Samuel was mentioned, Yara covered her face shyly. “I’ve been by Samuel’s side for these past few years. You’re the first woman I’ve ever seen at the Bowers residence.”

As expected of Yara.

She had hinted at how deep her relationship with Samuel was. The tactic was subtle but straight to the point.

Two can play at that game.

With a cold smile on her face, Natalie stared right at Yara. “I’m curious. If you’re able to enter and leave the Bowers residence as you please, why hasn’t Samuel married you?”

“You-”

Natalie interrupted, “How long have you been by his side? Love and adoration are all about freshness. Once it’s dragged on for too long, both parties grow tired of the relationship. When that time comes, marriage becomes impossible. If you want to marry Samuel, you should do it as soon as possible.”

Natalie’s words hit right on Yara’s sore spot and caused her expression to turn sour immediately.

Yara had spent five whole years pretending to be Natalie, rejecting countless pursuits of other men because she only wanted Samuel.

However, that wish was still not yet fulfilled.

“Are you trying to bully me?” Yara’s gaze changed, and her tone was now sharp.

“Mocking others and laughing at their misfortunes is bullying. What I said was merely the truth, no?”

Natalie met Yara’s cold gaze, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

You’re trying to trick me?

Does she think that I’m still the same girl from the countryside 6 years ago?

She was the foolish one to let Yara hurt her back then. Now, she was determined to not give in.

Yara could feel her chest tighten from how stifled she felt. Nevertheless, she controlled her emotions and calmed herself down.

“Ms. Nichols, let’s not beat around the bush anymore.” Yara took a yellow folder from the couch and held it out to Natalie.

“What is this?”

“As you said earlier on, I’m not married to Samuel yet. However, I will become his wife one day. I’m not a believer in opposite-gender friendships, and I don’t want you to be overly close to Samuel.”

Natalie licked her lips, asking, “So you’re paying me to leave Samuel?”

“You probably not getting paid a lot as a coroner, right? I’ll give you five million to leave Samuel and cut off all ties with him.” Yara paused for a moment before adding, “If you think that’s too little, I can add more to the amount.”

Natalie never thought that a conversation that seemed to only happen in dramas would occur here, between her and Yara.

Even though Samuel had kissed her deeply and momentarily caused warmth to ripple through her, he was someone who had been tainted by Yara.

There was no way she would fall in love with him.

The trauma from five years ago had possibly taken away her ability to love someone as well. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Natalie frowned and stayed silent, Yara said, “What do you think? This is a huge amount.”

Natalie lifted her hand and took the yellow folder from Yara. “I’ll sign it. However, I want ten million. Not a single cent less than that.”
