Chapter 1036

One night later.

Heidi's hair was a mess, and she was covered with bruises.

What happened the night before was like a nightmare to Heidi. In her nightmare, the beast kepttorturing her. No matter how desperate her cries for help were, she could never wake up from thenightmare.

Everything was meant for Natalie, but in the end, it happened to her instead.

Heidi cried until her eyes were dry and no tears could come out anymore. Then, she had no choice butto pull the clothes by the side closer to cover the marks on her body.

Billy only coldly looked at Heidi. There was no trace of pity in his eyes, for he felt that she had brought itupon herself.

Nevertheless, Billy still called for a doctor for Heidi.

After Heidi glanced at the doctor the man had summoned, she turned to shoot a vicious glare at Billy.“There's nothing in you but sham compassion.”

Billy uttered, “Mr. Bowers has told me to spare your life, so naturally, I won't let you die so easily.”

Heidi tightened her grip on her clothes, and the hatred in her eyes turned more intense.

Billy then asked the doctor to do a private checkup for Heidi. Once he completed the task Samuelassigned to him, he turned and left the room.

Heidi did not physically hurt as much after the doctor's administration, but she still could not recoverfrom the pain in her heart.

Once the doctor was gone, Heidi turned into a lifeless person. Her pretty eyes were now hollow.

“Samuel Bowers, Natalie Nichols, what happened to me is all because of you. As long as I'm alive, I'llnever forgive you!”

With that thought in mind, Heidi reached out for her phone, about to call Geert.

However, just as she dialed the number and made the call, Heidi hesitated.

It was true that her father felt guilty toward her, and it was true that her father adored her. However, shehad ended up in this way because her plan to set Natalie up backfired. Heidi did not know if it waslikelier for him to feel bad for her or to see her as a disgrace.

That was something Heidi truly was uncertain about.

Hence, she hesitated again and again.

In the end, she did not make the call.

It was just like what Samuel had said—she was nothing but the second daughter of the Leitz family.

If she wanted to take revenge on Samuel and Natalie, then she would have to maintain her status asthe second daughter of the Leitz family. She would have to make sure that she still had her father'sapproval and support. Otherwise, the revenge she wanted to have would be up to fate.

Heidi's hand fell back to her side, but her eyes reddened even more.

“As long as I'm still Ms. Heidi of the Leitz family, I have not lost.”

Two days after, the thing that Natalie was worried about still did not happen.

She felt strange. Not only was there no news from the Leitz family, but her collaboration with Helma stillcontinued.

The matter that occurred that night had indeed happened, but at the same time, it was as if nothing hadhappened.

Upon noticing Natalie's worries, Samuel said, “Are you still feeling worried?”

“Yes.” Natalie nodded, not hiding anything from Samuel. “Heidi is too quiet. If not for Billy returning tous and informing us that he had summoned a doctor to make sure she was still alive, I would'vethought that she was dead.”

Samuel sipped on the tea before replying, “It's good that there is no news.”

“What?” Natalie did not quite understand what Samuel meant.

Heidi had dared to set her up in that way because she was a daughter of the Leitz family. There was noway Heidi would quietly accept the fact that she was forced to have a taste of her own medicine.

“Heidi will be digging her own grave if she tells Geert about this,” Samuel told her. “Even she herselfhas said that, to men of the upper-class society, women are always just a beneficial accessory.Perhaps Geert will really hate the Bowers family, but if you feel bad about my loss, will Geert not feelbad about his? At the end of the day, she's just his illegitimate daughter. No matter how much headores her, is she anything in the face of money?”
