    Chapter 342


    Back then, Gerald was the one who saved Natalie from being burnt alive.


    As such, he knew about the feud between Natalie and the Bayer family better than anyone else.


    After some consideration, he nodded and firmly stated, “Don’t worry, Natalie. I will settle this matter for


    you.”


    They continued to chat for a while before parting ways.


    After Natalie left, Effie was still in shock. It seemed incredible no matter how hard she thought about it.


    Such situations only happen in novels. I can’t believe it actually happens in real life!


    What made Effie admire Natalie more was thetter’s professionalism. Natalie was a natural-born


    beauty, yet, she willingly wore an ugly hyper-realistic mask to conceal it. Ignoring everyone’s criticism


    and disdain, she continued to strive hard to focus on work.


    “Grandpa, she’s so cool!” Effie murmured.


    can rely on their physical strength if they aren’t clever enough. In contrast, women have a disadvantage


    concerning it. Although Natalie is a woman, she has more brawn and brainspared to most men. In


    fact, she is as courageous as any man!”


    “Grandpa, it would be nice if I’m as capable as her,” Effie stated in amazement.


    a


    In response, Geraldmented, “I doubt you’ll be able to be like her in this lifetime.”


    Om


    Annoyed, Effie whined, “Grandpa!”


    Gerald simply fell silent and stared at the moon from his window.


    To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.


    He knew his granddaughter could never handle the pain and hatred Natalie had gone through. After all,


    Effie grew up pampered with lots of love.


    Three dayster, Yara apanied Keh to watch an opera.


    The performance was focused on the patriotic acts of heroes who fought during troubled times. While


    Keh watched it with delight, Yara’s mind was somewhere else.

    Even when Keh served her some tea, she reacted a tadte.


    “Yara.”


    Keh called her name multiple times.


    “Yara!”


    Yara only snapped out of her trance when the man called her for the third time.


    “Grandpa, did you call my name?”

    Frowning, Keh asked, “What were you thinking about?”


    Yara seemed out of sorts because of the test results, but there was no way she could tell Keh about


    it. Regardless, she decided to use the chance to put on a piteous act since he had shown some concern


    for her.


    “Grandpa, the performance reminded me of Samuel…”


    Keh sighed. “I haven’t seen him in a long time because he only cares about Natalie now.”


    “It’s almost been six years. I truly love Samuel, but he seems to be drifting further away from me.”


    Biting her lip, tears circled in Yara’s eyes.


    Simrly, Keh’s frown grew deeper once she mentioned her rtionship.


    As the head of the Bowers family, it would be natural for Samuel to care about a woman’s social status


    and family connections. This way, he could leverage the woman’s family to cement his position within his


    family.


    If it wasn’t because Yara had saved him and given birth to Sophia and Franklin, Keh would probably


    disapprove of her as his granddaughter-inw.


    In terms of both beauty and brains, Natalie doesn’t match up to Yara.


    With that thought, Keh detested Natalie.


    “Stop crying.” Taking a handkerchief from the butler, Keh threw it to Yara and advised, “What is the


    use of crying? If this is all you have to show, there will be even more women like Natalie in the future.”


    With teary eyes, Yara nced at Keh.


    “Samuel is the head of the family now. Therefore, I can only intimidate him with words. I have no


    commanding power over him,” Keh continued while cleaning his hands with a wet wipe.


    “Nheless, you have me as your backing, and that’s better than fighting alone. I want you to win more


    than anyone else.”


    “I understand, Grandpa.”


    “My eyes are getting tired from watching the show,” Keh said before casually walking out of the


    theatre.


    At that moment, Yara received a message notification.


    With trembling hands, she read the message. It said: No blood rtion confirmed. True enough, it’s not


    her. I was right! I must be overthinking it. Five years ago, I was the one who set the fire myself. There’s


    no way that woman who had just given birth to twins had the energy to escape. Not to mention, even if


    she does have the energy, I doubt she’ll be able to survive a fire of that size.


    Subconsciously, Yara felt a sense of relief after seeing the test results.
