    Chapter 750 A gue


    He’s right! He does sound kind of harsh, but it’s the truth. The rest of the crowd agreed with Miguel.


    Meanwhile, Samuel continued to hold the woman’s hand in his, not too tightly but with a slight squeeze.


    He had always trusted her since the day Keh ‘died.’ Even if everyone else now thought she was


    spouting lies, the man still believed in her.


    Natalie cleared her throat. “You’re right. He’s putting his reputation at stake by choosing to defend me,


    but that’s exactly why I won’t let him down. If you want to see Old Mr. Bowers in person, that’s absolutely


    possible. But it’s a bit of a long journey, so you’ll have to wait thirty minutes for him to get here. Until then,


    please be patient. The truth will reveal itself in half an hour.”


    Hearing that, Miguel stroked his beard again and nodded. “Fine. If it’s half an hour, so be it! We’ll all be


    here waiting, but I hope you can promise me one thing, Mr. Samuel.”


    “He’s talking to you.” Natalie signaled Samuel.


    “What is it, Mr. Miguel? Do tell.”


    “If Mr. Keh is indeed alive, we elders shall apologize sincerely to Ms. Nichols. However…” Miguel


    paused briefly before he continued, “If this turns out to be aplete, borate hoax, I hope you can


    differentiate between what’s right and wrong. Promise me that you’ll never let this woman be the


    lady of the household.”


    The elderly man sounded particrly earnest as he spoke with a pained expression, but Natalie only felt


    like punching him.


    I just want to let them know that he’s still alive. I don’t care if they think I’m a lunatic, but now, they’re


    even using me as a gamble? If that isn’t enough, they’re also trying to get Samuel to treat me like a


    mistress just because they’re afraid of p*ssing him off!


    She nced at Samuel at that thought.


    Yet, the man’s gaze turned dark, and he replied unhesitatingly, “I promise you.”


    Natalie tensed up. Did he agree because he trusts me that much? Or is it because he’s actually thinking


    of just keeping me as a mistress while officially marrying someone else?


    The crowd was just as astonished as she was. Never had they expected him to agree so readily.


    Time ticked away as everyone remained in wait.


    Despite waiting of their own ord, they all found this whole ordeal beyond absurd.


    The dead can nevere back to life, yet this man is abusing his authority by constantly defending this


    vixen! Who is she to tell us that Mr. Keh is still alive when we clearly watched him die?


    Time was ticking by.

    Over twenty minutes had passed, and half an hour would soon be up.


    Miguel got up from his seat again and walked toward Samuel with a cane. “It’s been thirty minutes, but


    there’s still no sign of Keh.”


    Having run out of patience, the old man began to re up as he roared, “I must’ve gone senile to have


    agreed to such a preposterous request! Thirty minutes! Thank goodness it was just thirty minutes instead


    of three hours! A dead man will nevere back to life whether it’s thirty minutes, three hours, or three


    dayster.


    This is utterly disrespectful toward everyone who wasted their time and Keh! Now, I know you’re not


    going to appreciate hearing this, Mr. Samuel, but this is for your own good. I hope you don’t go back on


    your word. I can’t stop you from liking her, but you have your responsibilities as the patriarch. You can’t


    keep being unreasonable just because of your children and personal feelings!”


    As he spoke, Miguel tossed his cane aside and prostrated himself before Samuel.


    “Please keep your word, Mr. Samuel!”


    Natalie was speechless. Why does it feel like this geezer just thinks of me as a gue?
