Immediately, Charles’ face hardened. “Wait a second. What is this? Are you in love, Samuel?”

“Yes, I am,” admitted Samuel directly. “I don’t doubt that Scarlett is a fine woman, but I have torespectfully decline meeting with her because I already have someone I want to spend the rest of my lifewith.”

With his hope shattered, Charles was suddenly at a loss for words.

The two remained silent for a short while before Zayden and Scarlett walked over to them.

“Samuel, I heard that you were out of town when I came home from overseas, so imagine my surprisewhen I realized that you’re here at my brother’s birthday celebration!” voiced Scarlett excitedly whilegazing intently at the man.

“I just so happened to close a deal early and managed to make it back in time. There’s someone herethat I haven’t seen for a long time, so I decided to give her a surprise.”

Someone he hasn’t seen for a long time? Well, it has been two years since we last saw eachother.Naturally, Scarlett assumed that Samuel was talking about her.

.

“I’m sure that someone is very happy to see you too.” Scarlett then tried to reach out and hold Samuel bythe arm, but the man quickly got out of the way. “Samuel?”

“I have to go meet her soon, actually. In fact, I was just about to excuse myself.” With that, Samuel hadmade it abundantly clear that he was not interested in Scarlett at all.

To avoid further embarrassment, Scarlett immediately withdrew her hands. Samuel has someone else hehas to meet? He wasn’t talking about me after all. Then it must be Natalie! Why would he choose herover me? What does that freckle-faced woman have that I don’t?

Even though Yara had already told her about it, Scarlett was still surprised when she found out forherself. Luckily, we’ve already gotten her out of the picture. Natalie is probably a human popsicle in thecold storage by now. No matter how much Samuel loves her, he can’t be with a frozen corpse, can he?

Although Scarlett was very pleased with herself then, she did not show it.

After Samuel left, Zayden turned to stare at her sister before teasing, “I know you like him a lot, butunfortunately, he doesn’t seem to feel the same way about you, Scarlett. In fact, he doesn’t look like he’seven remotely interested in you.”

“Stay out of my business!” warned Scarlett heatedly,

Although Charles did not appreciate Zayden’s tone, he had to admit that his grandson was right.

“Scarlett, I know Samuel is definitely one of the most eligible bachelors, but the man has clearly fallen foranother woman. You’re not getting any younger, so why not consider somebody else? Remember. Timewaits for no one. Trust me when I tell you that it’s not worth it,” Charles gently

reminded his granddaughter.

However, since she had already carried out her plan to eliminate Natalie, Scarlett was not about to justgive up on Samuel.

“Samuel is just lost at the moment. The man doesn’t really know what he wants, but I’m sure fate willpoint him in the right direction. It won’t be long before he realizes that I’m the one for him,” assuredScarlett with her head held high.

When they saw how persistent Scarlett was, Charles and Zayden decided to stop persuading her.

Meanwhile, Yana and Hans realized that Natalie had been gone for far too long. Even Old Mr. Hamiltonand the Hamilton siblings are out. Where could Natalie possibly be?
