NovelAppChapter 931 The Undercurrent Of The Banquet
“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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJesper 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.”
“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 had started whispering about his actions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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.”
