A Cue for Love Chapter 744
Sweep It Under The Rug
After about forty minutes, Samuel’s car pulled to a halt outside the Bowers manor.
The moment he stepped into the manor, he caught sight of all the elders and rtives of the Bowers
family seated while waiting for him. Wearing a look of utter solemnity and grimness, everyone had their
eyes on Samuel.
As the head of the family’s elders, Miguel was seated at the head of the table. His white beard looked
striking against his traditional attire in ck. cing his intertwined hands lightly above his cane, he
glowered at Samuel with prative eyes.
He was supposed to be grounded at his vi at the moment. Even so, Samuel was not surprised to see
him there. He presumed someone must have helped pull strings for him to be there.
Other than him, Yuvaan, the second elder, Xn, the third elder, and even the others from the Bowers
family who did not manage to show up previously were there. At that very moment, it was as though
they had readied themselves to battle against their mortal enemy.
Everyone held their breaths as pin-drop silence ensued in the whole manor.
Miguel turned crimson with fury when Natalie was nowhere to be seen. He rose to his feet at once and
fumed, “Where’s that woman? Why didn’t shee together with you? How could you back her up and
oppose the whole Bowers family?”
He did not even address Samuel formally with respect and sounded as if he was a police officer
interrogating a suspect.
Unperturbed by his questioning, Samuel remained as nonchnt as ever. With one hand in his pocket,
he responded cidly, “Since she’s not the culprit, there’s no point for her to show up here. After all, I’ll
unearth the truth as promised.”

Hearing that, everyone in the hall could not help drawing in a sharp gasp. As they fastened their gazes
on Samuel, there were mixed emotions of disbelief, disappointment, and disdain in their eyes. They
could not fathom why the youngest and most omnipotent patriarch of their family would go against
them because of a woman.
“Did that woman cast any spell on him, causing him to lose his mind?”
“How disappointing! Mr. Keh met his tragic end mysteriously, but his grandson is standing up for
the culprit!”
“Sooner orter, the Bowers family will be doomed if we continue to let such an irrational person be our
patriarch. He’s too much!”
In an instant, the bellows from the close rtives of the Bowers family reverberated in the whole
manor.
On the other hand, Miguel and Xn exchanged looks discreetly. Before they could utter any words,
Reuben stepped forward from the crowd. After clearing his throat, he piped up, “Ha! It seems I’m not
the only one having a problem with our respectable Mr. Samuel. I never knew that everyone shares the
same sentiment as me! Today I’ll be the one to let him reveal his true colors then. Heed my words.
Being an omnipotent person doesn’t mean that he is virtuous. Even though his grandfather was
poisoned by a heinous woman, he didn’t even take any legal actions against her. In fact, he’s even
dawdling and sweeping things under the rug so that she’ll not be charged with murdering! I believe Old
Mr. Bowers surely wouldn’t be able to rest in peace if he were to know that his grandson is standing up
for the culprit. The patriarch of the Bowers family should be a good-natured person. Unequivocally,
Samuel is not qualified to be our patriarch, let alone the CEO of Centurion Corporation!”
Reuben’s derision rang out like a bolt from the blue.
Needless to say, the despicable man was well-prepared for the moment. Those whom he had bribed
the night before began echoing.
“Yeah! You’ve got a point! What if that ruthless woman has the audacity tomit heinous deeds
again? I doubt Samuel will act impartially. He will definitely continue to cover up for her!”
“It doesn’t mean we’re rebuking our patriarch for being merciful and sympathetic. We’re just utterly
disappointed with him for standing up for a cold-blooded murderer!”
“Of course, our opinions aren’t significant enough to make a difference if only a few of us think so.
However, since everyone has the same stance as us, I guess we should let someone virtuous take
over his position as the patriarch of our family.”
Right that instant, Yara, too, was standing among the crowd. Gazing at Samuel’s devastating good
looks, she could not help mumbling inwardly.
Samuel, I don’t intend to be on bad terms with you. As long as you’re willing to hand Natalie Nichols
over to the Bowers family, I won’t strip you of your position as the patriarch of the family. Nheless, if
you insist on backing her up, Reuben Bowers will be the one taking over your current position!
