Chapter 1028
Samuel saw the seriousness in Natalie's eyes. Of course, I knew how she felt about me. It's just that I never thought
the poison in me would relapse one day after staying dormant all these years.
Despite the profound affection in his heart, he resigned himself to his fate with the passage of time.
Not knowing what to say, Samuel pressed his lips to hers as he found himself drowning in desolation.
The kiss was so gentle that it was engraved in her bones.
They did not express their feelings out loud, but their kiss had revealed too much grief and longing.
When their lips finally separated, Natalie blinked away the sadness in her eyes and put on a smile. “It's my fault
today. I promise this will be my last time saying anything depressing. After today, we'll spend every day in our lives
happily together.”
Samuel ruffled her hair lovingly and cooed, “Okay, I'll listen to everything you say.”

time. I have to go now, or I'll be late.”
“Ms. Leitz?” The man narrowed his eyes. What Ms. Leitz? Which Ms. Leitz?
“Ms. Helma from the Leitz family.” Natalie continued, “I think she wants to meet me to discuss the custom-made
jewelry for the banquet. Maybe she changed her mind about our previous agreement and wants to tell it to me face
to face.”
Samuel had always been respectful about her work, so he would not interfere with all her business affairs. Yet, that
time, he voiced, “Did Ms. Leitz give you a call personally?”
“No.” Natalie shook her head. “It was her subordinate, I think.”
“I'll accompany you.”
“I don't think there's a need for that,” she said, thinking it would be troublesome for him. “Even though you have
Steven managing the Bowers Corporation in your stead, you can't be my driver the entire day. It's a waste of
talent!”
Samuel's eyes darkened. “I'll not only accompany you today...”
“What are you planning on doing?”
“I'll settle some of my problems today,” he replied contemplatively, then pinched her cheeks adoringly. “You don't
have to go out of your way to learn about it. You just have to know I won't let anyone harm you. Think of it as a
show if you're bored.”
The couple had been through so much together, so they knew each other like the back of their hands.
When Natalie heard Samuel's words, her eyes twinkled, and she smiled flirtatiously. “I'll be watching from the
sidelines then.”
Two hours later, Heidi sat at a dining table, facing a screen that was playing the live feed of surveillance cameras.
She watched as the woman on the screen entered the reserved private room in the restaurant.
As her lips quirked, a hint of malice flashed across her eyes. Despite holding the fork and knife elegantly, she had

“Natalie Nichols, you took the bait just as I expected!”
Heidi cut up the entire steak but did not take a single bite of it. Instead, she sipped on her wine and watched the
woman's every movement from the screen. When she saw the woman in the private room pass out after taking a
sip of her drink, her smile grew wider. The cruelty in her eyes could barely be concealed.
The subordinate who stood beside her was terrified and asked hesitantly, “Ms. Heidi, I don't think it's appropriate for
you to make a move on her secretly. After all, she's Ms. Helma's friend.”
Heidi picked up her fork and stabbed it toward her subordinate's eye.
“Ah!” her subordinate shrieked instinctively.
However, the fork halted less than a centimeter from the subordinate's eyeball.
“What a coward!”
Seeing the frightened look on her subordinate's face, Heidi felt thrilled and laughed gleefully.
“What are you scared of? No one will know I'm the mastermind as long as everything wraps up smoothly.” Heidi
looked toward the screen with a sharp gaze while a bloodthirsty grin played about her lips. “Stop behaving so
timidly! You're so useless!”
