The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 931

“I don't know.” Natalie took a sip of her wine and shook her head. “What does Amos even like about me? It's most

likely my face at first. Now, he's just frustrated about not getting what he wants. Rest assured. No matter how much

Amos hates me, he's a businessman. He won't let the profit in his grasp slip through his fingers.”

Natalie swirled her glass gently as she blinked her eyes.

Amos might not even look at me if I was wearing an ugly hyper-realistic mask. I'm aware not every man is like

Samuel. They can't treat me the same way no matter how I look.

At the thought, Natalie felt thousands of needles prick her heart. Since there was no cure to her heartache, she

silently sipped her wine.

Nevertheless, she was unaware that Jesper was watching her every move for Samuel.

Jesper was reporting to Samuel via the Bluetooth earpiece on his right ear. “Mr. Bowers, it's just as you predicted.

Amos still hadn't given up on Ms. Nichols. He was persistent in his courting attempts. However, Ms. Nichols' rejection

was firm. It shouldn't leave any misunderstandings between them.”

“Be careful. Don't let anyone catch you, and continue to protect her.” Samuel ordered, “Contact me immediately if

there's any odd movement, got it?”

“Don't worry, Mr. Bowers. I'll protect Ms. Nichols with my life.”

“Continue streaming the video and audio.”

“I don't know.” Natalie took a sip of her wine and shook her head. “What does Amos even like about me? It's most

likely my face at first. Now, he's just frustrated about not getting what he wants. Rest assured. No matter how much

Amos hates me, he's a businessman. He won't let the profit in his grasp slip through his fingers.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jesper finally comprehended the attentiveness Samuel had for Natalie.

Not only did he change his name and identity, but now he would even send me to protect her at events he couldn't

personally attend. He sure is diligent about anything relevant to Ms. Nichols.

The entire banquet might seem bustling, but there was an undercurrent beneath it.

Naturally, Amos was infuriated at Natalie's rejection. He stood in a corner sulking as he sipped on his wine.

He was depressed but not repulsed by Natalie. Instead, the urge to conquer her was burning fiercer than ever.

Conquering was men's natural instinct.

That instinct would breed a deep-rooted bad behavior that most men have. The easier they got their women, the

more they undervalued them. The more pitiful their women were, the more the men desired them.

After a few gulps of wine, Amos' composure had slowly returned to him. Finally, he returned to being his usual

elegant and charming self.

When he reached Natalie's side again, he had a faint smile on his lips. “Let's go. I'll take you to meet my father.”

“Okay.” Natalie nodded.

Amos led Natalie toward Carlos, who had guests surrounding him from every side.

Amos' actions garnished more attention than speaking privately to Natalie.

The other guests hod storted whispering obout his octions.

“Which fomily does thot womon belong to? Why hoven't I seen her before?”

“She's indeed unfomilior. Moybe she's Mr. Stone's new girlfriend?”

“Whot ore you tolking obout? Everyone knows Olivio is the only doughter-in-low the Stone fomily recognizes. The

entire Jones fomily is here todoy. It'd be emborrossing for the Jones fomily if thot womon wos Amos' girlfriend.”

“Look ot Amos' goze on her. There's no woy Amos doesn't like her.”

Amos ond Notolie hod reoched Corlos' side, ond Corlos' goze londed on Notolie.

After delving into the business world for so mony yeors, Corlos hod seen his foir bit of people. He hod seen mony

beouties of every kind, but the young womon stonding beside his son wos so beoutiful thot she wos engroved into

his memory.

“Ammy, who is this?” Corlos osked with o frown.

Amos wos obout to introduce Notolie to Corlos when o womon's voice interrupted him from the side.

“Mr. Corlos, don't get tricked by this womon's looks! She's thot bunny girl woitress eorning meoger poy! She hod

numerous relotionships with rondom men. You might find o record of illicit octivities if you run o thorough

bockground check on her.”

The other guests had started whispering about his actions.

“Which family does that woman belong to? Why haven't I seen her before?”

“She's indeed unfamiliar. Maybe she's Mr. Stone's new girlfriend?”

“What are you talking about? Everyone knows Olivia is the only daughter-in-law the Stone family recognizes. The

entire Jones family is here today. It'd be embarrassing for the Jones family if that woman was Amos' girlfriend.”

“Look at Amos' gaze on her. There's no way Amos doesn't like her.”

Amos and Natalie had reached Carlos' side, and Carlos' gaze landed on Natalie.

After delving into the business world for so many years, Carlos had seen his fair bit of people. He had seen many

beauties of every kind, but the young woman standing beside his son was so beautiful that she was engraved into

his memory.

“Ammy, who is this?” Carlos asked with a frown.

Amos was about to introduce Natalie to Carlos when a woman's voice interrupted him from the side.

“Mr. Carlos, don't get tricked by this woman's looks! She's that bunny girl waitress earning meager pay! She had

numerous relationships with random men. You might find a record of illicit activities if you run a thorough

background check on her.”
