Chapter 1032
With Natalie's fingers constricting around her windpipe, Heidi's diminutive face turned blue as she found it harder
and harder to respirate.
In the corner of her eye, the sight of her impotent subordinates got Heidi incensed. The flames inside her raged
furiously, but her hands simply hurt too much, leaving her unable to defend herself.
Just then, Heidi saw the mechanism to the hidden room's entrance move asudden. Following that, the door steadily
opened.
In came a tall, strapping figure with the light casting in from behind him.
When Heidi got a clearer view of that face, her pupils shrunk.
It's him! Samuel Bowers! He's the only one who can save me now!
Tears flowed ceaselessly from Heidi's eyes, and the vicious look that was there before vanished without a trace. At
that moment, she had taken to portraying herself as pitiful and vulnerable instead.

Not expecting for Samuel to intrude upon that moment, Natalie naturally withdrew her right hand from Heidi's
throat when she turned to regard him.
Given the opportunity to catch her breath, Heidi reflexively took in fresh air by the mouthful while she sat slumped
on the floor.
“What are you doing here?” asked Natalie with a frown.
“How else would I have been able to see all of this if I didn't?” Samuel replied, his phoenix eyes basking in a cold
glint.
Seeing how frosty Samuel's demeanor was, Heidi mistakenly believed that he would come to her aid.
That was when an idea struck her.
She staggered over toward Samuel, sobbing, “Thank goodness that you got here in the nick of time, Mr. Bowers!”
Samuel cast a detached look toward Heidi while she continued to whine away, “Have you ever seen the vicious side
of this woman? She has poisoned me, strangled me, and even tried to kill me here! Natalie Nichols isn't the kind-
hearted woman that you thought she was at all, and I'd surely be unable to walk out of here alive today had you not
arrived here when you did!”
Under the impression that Heidi was only willful and arrogant, Natalie had not known that the latter's acting chops
were also first-rate, being able to conjure up stories on the fly and at will.
Simply diabolical when I was bound by the chains just a moment ago, Heidi now has herself looking like the victim.
Pursing her lips and holding her tongue, Natalie waited to see what other manner of perniciousness that woman
would come up with at that point.
Heidi duly obliged by seizing the opportunity to continue to add fuel to the fire. “My neck hurts so much, Mr.
Bowers! Could you send me to the hospital right now? When I'm better, I'd let my father know about everything
that happened here and tell him that you're the one who saved me!”
Had none of this involved herself, Natalie would have applauded Heidi's efforts.
Feigning pitifulness to garner sympathy and then unleashing the honey trap? This woman is really pulling out all the
stops!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Heidi's subordinates saw how their second young mistress was able to turn the tide, they felt a huge weight
being lifted off their shoulders.
“Mr. Bowers...” Heidi looked pleadingly toward Samuel while he made his way steadily toward her and Natalie.
Just as Heidi was half-expecting for Samuel to sweep her up into a princess carry, the man gently held his hands
around Natalie's instead. He breathed lightly against her with eyes full of tenderness. “Does it hurt?”
“Not anymore,” replied Natalie, shaking her head.
“Really?”
Natalie nodded once more. “Yes. Honestly!”
Once satisfied that there was indeed no real damage done to Natalie's dainty hands, Samuel then let go of them.
The tension between his brows also saw a complete reprieve.
Heidi was dumbstruck.
Left ignored at the side and treated as though she was invisible, Heidi's tears started to well up.
“I'm the one who's been badly hurt, Samuel Bowers!” said Heidi amidst her accusative tears. “You saw her put her
hands on my throat. She even said that she wanted to leave me to be violated by these three filthy men. How could
you protect such a wicked woman while disregarding my suffering?”
