Chapter 267 A Lifetime To Repay Me
In truth, Natalie was not only showing her appreciation for Samuel’s generosity in gifting her a winery, but
she was also thankful for his love toward her.
“Stay by my side and repay me slowly.” Holding Natalie tightly by her waist, Samuel pressed against her
body and leaned close to her ears. “As long as it’s you, I don’t mind.”
Natalie felt even her cheeks burning as emotions surged within her.
“I-I’m a little thirsty. Let me go get a drink.”
She quickly walked away and started fanning trying to cool herself down.
She was so flustered that she could even vividly feel her cheeks blushing red.
Oh gosh. This isn’t good. Why am I getting more and more easily affected by Samuel?

Seeing a server walking past her, she quickly grabbed a drink from the tray and took two sips.
“Look! That’s the woman whom Samuel kissed!”
“She must be a talented lady to be able to beat Susan and Phoebe. But it’s a pity she doesn’t look as
pretty.”
“Perhaps that’s the secret of successful people, unlike you and I who’re only after looks.”
Unable to hold her embarrassment in, Natalie almost spat out the beverage in her mouth.
The evaluation from head-to-toe made her feel so embarrassed it was as though she went through the
walk of shame.
After several sips of the iced beverage, she finally cooled herself down. Just as she wanted to look for
Samuel, a familiar figure bumped onto her violently.
Burgundy-colored wine spilled straight onto her.
The familiar figure that bumped her turned out to be none other than Phoebe.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Phoebe had a look of apology written all over her face. “I don’t mean it. I’m so sorry that I
got your gown dirty.”
“It’s fine.” Natalie held her hand out to steady Phoebe. “Be more careful when you walk.”
“Got it.” Phoebe stole a glance at Natalie’s gown and added, “I’ve dirtied your gown. Let me take you to
change into a clean gown. Otherwise, it’s going to be uncomfortable for you.”
“There’s no need.” Natalie kindly rejected it since it was no big deal to her.
“What do you mean?” Phoebe was a little stunned initially. “Ms. Natalie, you’re set for the opening dance
with Mr. Bowers later. Perhaps it doesn’t affect you, but Mr. Bowers is, after all, representative of the
Bowers family. Your appearance not only reflects your image. If you look bad, it’ll reflect badly on him
too.”
Staring at the scheming lady before her, Natalie lifted the corners of her lips into a faint smile.
She thought Susan and Phoebe had learned their lesson earlier during the wine-tasting contest.
Nonetheless, it turned out that these two envious women had yet to have enough of such petty games.
She wants to play such tricks? Game on then!
Her motto in life was to give in to others even if they tried picking on her. However, she would not sit still
if they continuously picked on her time and again.
“Sure. I’ll have to trouble you then.”

Phoebe smiled, thinking that she had succeeded with her plan. “You’re welcome.”
On the other side, Justin walked over to Samuel while holding his glass of wine in his hand.
“Samuel, she’s gone. What are you still staring at?” Justin sized Samuel up and teased, “Everyone has
always said that you’re not interested in women and that Franklin and Sophia are surrogate children to
carry on the Bowers family’s family line. It seems like those people have to take back their words now.”
“She’s mine. Of course, I have to pay more attention to her.” Samuel’s eyes were radiating warmth and
tenderness as he took a sip of wine.
“Are you bragging?”
“No.” Samuel shifted his gaze to Justin. “I’m only speaking the facts.”
Justin was at a loss for words.
The dejected Justin, who had been snubbed by Jane earlier, could only feel a crushing blow to his pride
and ego after hearing Samuel’s words.
“Don’t you sense the intense rivalry the two ladies from the Leicester family have toward Natalie?” Justin
decided to give Samuel a piece of mind. “She’s after all, your woman. You should be the knight in shining
armor and save the damsel in distress!”
Samuel’s eyes glinted with an inscrutable emotion as he looked intently at Natalie’s face. “She doesn’t
need my protection. She’s far more powerful than everyone assumes her to be.”
