Chapter 74 You Are More Beautiful

A cold smile flashed across Natalie’s face.

She never thought Samuel would appear in the nick of time, just when all this was happening.

Natalie was not afraid of Molly’s tattling, anyway. She just felt annoyed that Molly was trying her best toexacerbate the situation with her crocodile tears.

“Shut up.”

Hearing that, Molly’s acting skills came into full bloom as she continued crying. “Mr. Bowers, my handsare about to break. Please, save me.”

Samuel just knitted his brows as he walked toward them, pursing his thin lips into a straight line.

Molly was actually happy seeing Samuel walking toward her, but her tears just kept falling.

She learned how to dance ever since she was young, so she had a beautiful body. To top it off, she hadbeautiful facial features as well. Molly felt that Samuel would protect a beautiful girl like her, as opposedto Natalie, whose face was full of freckles. Of this, she was certain.

I have the looks to back it up, and Natalie does not.

I also look meek, nimble, and gentle. Natalie is repulsive by comparison!

There’s no way a man like Samuel will prefer her over me. Molly thought.

“Mr. Bowers, my hands hurt so much…”

Natalie then turned her face and looked at Samuel’s beautifully chiseled face. Her heart skipped a beatjust by looking at him.

However, her gaze immediately turned cold again when she remembered what Molly had done. All ofthis fuss was over Samuel.

Time slowly ticked by as they looked into the eyes of each other.

Natalie just stared into his jet-black eyes, in hopes to understand what he currently had on his mind.

She still had Molly’s arm in a bind, twisting it as if she was some kind of criminal.

By the looks of it, it did seem like she was bullying Molly.

“What? Here to criticize me for my sins, Samuel?”

Samuel just raised a brow and replied with his low voice, “What sins?”

This reply stunned Natalie.

Molly was shocked as well hearing that. She almost forgot that she was in pain as she continuedsobbing. “Mr. Bowers, did you not see? She tried to hit me!”

Samuel shifted his gaze toward the tear-stained face and just looked at Molly coldly without sympathy.

“So what if I noticed it?”

“Mr. Bowers, you-”

Samuel cut her short and continued, “You should reflect on why she even decided to hit you in the firstplace.”

After Samuel said that, Natalie glanced at Samuel and let go of Molly.

Molly’s face was now pale white. “Mr. Bowers, how can you say that to me? Shouldn’t you help meinstead of her?”

“You? What confidence lead you to think that?” Hearing that, Samuel scoffed and sized Molly up.

“Mr. Bowers, are you saying that I’m no match for her?” Molly’s pupil dilated in an instant when sheheard that. She didn’t even realize she raised her voice. “Am I not prettier than her?”

Natalie, on the other hand, nodded in agreement from the sidelines.

If Natalie were to take off the hyper-realistic mask, she would have easily been the victor in thiscompetition, so much more than Molly.

However, with the mask on, Natalie had a flat nose, thick lips, and a face full of freckles. She wasnothing compared to a beautiful girl like Molly.

Even so, Samuel did not even hesitate as he replied, “On what basis do you think you’re prettier thanNatalie when you’re so ugly?”

Ugly? Did he just say I’m ugly?

Molly froze on the spot.

Molly could not refute him if her looks were not up to his standards. However, blatantly saying thatNatalie looked more beautiful than she did had quickly destroyed her pride and confidence.

“How dare you judge someone just by their looks? You are unfit to teach my children,” Samuel saidcoldly and gave her an icy gaze before pulling on Natalie’s hand, leading her away.

When Natalie came to, Samuel had already led her away by a distance before the both of themstopped at the corner of a corridor.

By now, Natalie was just confused.

There was no way Samuel knew she was wearing a mask, nor what she looked like underneath it.

“The woman just now, she indeed harbors distasteful thoughts, but she is prettier than me…”

All of a sudden, she was suddenly aware of his scent, like a strong cologne engulfing her, and warmbreaths closed in on her face.

In the next moment, both of their noses were close to touching each other.

Natalie was just shocked to encounter this, and the gaze in Samuel’s eyes deepened.

“Natalie, when I said you’re prettier than her, I mean that you are, indeed, prettier than her.”
