Chapter 254 Taken
Soon, Natalie walked down the stairs after changing into a black nightgown, which perfectly outlined her
slender figure.
Even though she was still wearing the ugly mask, it did not affect the aura exuded from her body. She
looked as sophisticated as a black swan.
Most people focused on improving their appearances instead of body figures because the latter was
more difficult to change.
Despite not having a pretty face, Natalie had a perfect body figure.
Samuel bowed and stretched out his right hand to her. “It’s my honor to have you as my plus one.”
“Are you sure you want to go with me?” Natalie winked slyly. “Aren’t you afraid that my appearance will
humiliate you?”
“Do you know why I insist on bringing you to tonight’s banquet?” Samuel asked.

Confused, she shook her head.
“Why?”
“Because I want to show everyone that I’m taken and that I’m yours.” Tucking her hair behind her ear, he
uttered, “I would need your help to chase away my admirers tonight.”
“Um…”
Not only did he not disfavor her appearance, but he also gave her a sense of security.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, she suddenly felt that it would be good to be spoilt by him.
It seems like enjoying my life under his protection isn’t that bad after all.
The banquet at Pavilion was hosted by the Leister family of Livingsfill.
The Leister family was a descendant of the previous dynasty of Chanaea. After a hundred years, the
family had gradually declined. Even so, it still had a deep history in Livingsfill and Chanaea. In the
previous years, they were an illustrious family of academics. However, they had managed to gain a
foothold in the business industry in recent years and rose to the top once again.
The banquet that night was the coming-of-age ceremony of Susan Leister, the Leister family’s daughter.
Not only was she the only daughter of the Leister family, but she had been smart and talented since she
was a child. Hence, everyone in the family doted on her.
That was why the banquet had been the talk of the town.
Samuel happened to be in Livingsfill, and the Leister family had sent an invitation to his mansion, so he
naturally had to give them some respect by attending the banquet.
Despite arriving at the same time, Justin had to enter the venue with his family, so he and Samuel went
in separately.
Although the venue of the banquet was named Pavilion, it was by no means a gazebo.
It was a traditional yet luxurious courtyard, surrounded by rockeries and flowing water.
Not long after Natalie and Samuel entered the venue after showing their invitation card, a girl wearing a
white dress with a diamond crown on her head ran over while holding her dress.
“Samuel.” Standing still, she held Samuel’s arm and smiled brightly. “You haven’t come to Livingsfill for a
long time. My family told me you couldn’t attend my coming-of-age banquet, so I’ve been sad for a long
time. I’m really happy that you’re here tonight!”

The girl who was speaking was Susan Leister.
Seeing how carefree she was, she was indeed spoiled by her family.
Of course, because she had never experienced any hardships, she wore her heart on her sleeve.
It was obvious that she liked Samuel.
Before Natalie could speak, Susan looked in her direction and inquired, “Samuel, is she your secretary?
This is my first time seeing her.”
Even though Natalie looked like an average person, she was giving off a magnanimous aura, and she
did look like a secretary.
Not knowing how to answer, Natalie stayed quiet and let the man beside her deal with it.
“She isn’t my secretary,” answered Samuel slowly.
“Really?” Susan blinked her eyes in surprise. “Then who is she?”
“She’s the woman I like.” Subsequently, Samuel wrapped his arm around Natalie’s waist and remarked,
“I’m pursuing her, but she still hasn’t agreed to be my woman.”
