Chapter 415 Denial At that moment, Samuel was filled with so much rage that he seemed like he had been possessed by a demon straight from hell.
âWhere did you hide her? Answer me now!â commanded Samuel after grabbing Zayden by the collar.
Zaydenâs anger was quickly replaced by fear when facing Samuelâs fury, but still, he tried to put on a brave face. âI have no idea who youâre talking about. What do you want, Samuel? What you did tonight was unacceptable. Not only did you disrespect me, but you also disrespect my entire family.â
âHeâs right! You let go Zayden this instant!â Charles would never let anything bad happen to his precious grandson.
Scarlett, too, tried to stop Samuel by grabbing the manâs wrist. âWhat are you doing, Samuel? I know youâre angry that you canât find someone dear to you, but taking it out on my brother isnât going to help. Please just let him go!â
Still, Samuel would not listen to a word the Hamiltons said. With his eyes narrowed, Samuel tightened his grip as he continued to threaten Zayden, âIâm going to ask you one last time, Zayden. Where did you hide Natalie?â
As hard as Zayden struggled to break free, he could not. The man noticed that it was getting more difficult to breathe, so he started to panic.
âWho is Natalie? I donât know anybody by that name! I swear! How the heck am I supposed to hide someone I donât even know?â
responded Zayden, grimacing.
âThe woman who kicked you into the swimming pool. Where is she?â
âHow is that related to the person youâre looking for?â asked Zayden in a baffled expression.
âThe woman who kicked into the pool is the one Iâm looking for.â
Immediately, Zayden felt relieved that he had not gotten the chance to get back at Natalie, for that meant he had nothing to do with the womanâs disappearance. Gosh, that was close!â
I swear I didnât do anything to her, Samuel! If you want, I can swear on my whole familyâs life. I admit that I did think about getting payback, but I havenât had the chance to do anything like that yet. I really donât know where she has gone!â
For quite a while, Samuel said nothing but only scrutinized Zaydenâs face.
âIf I find out that even one word that came out of your mouth is a lie, I will give you hell. I donât care even if youâre a Hamilton. Do you hear me?â
âI would never lie to you. Never!â promised Zayden as he shook his head desperately.
Only then did Samuel let go of the poor man, who realized that his legs had become weak from fear.
Samuel then turned around to face Charles. âOld Mr. Hamilton, your family knows this place better than anybody else, so Iâll need your help to find my fiancée.â
âOf course.â
Even though Charles was upset about Samuelâs actions, he nodded and agreed to provide assistance anyhow.
When almost all the guests had left, Billy and his men arrived at the scene.
Then, Samuel bid the Hamiltons farewell and left to join Billy.
Charles and Zayden were the only ones left in the room.
âWhat exactly does Samuel take us for? He disrespected us like we were nobody! And for what? A woman? Big deal! Iâm sure there are hundreds of women waiting to take her place,â scoffed Zayden after lighting up a cigarette.
Charles angrily smacked Zayden on the head for the young manâs insolence. âIdiot! Do you even have any idea what youâre talking about? Any fool could tell how hard Samuel had fallen for that woman. Heâll probably burn the whole place down just to find her. Are you sure you have nothing to do with her disappearance?â
âAs I said, I didnât do anything to that woman. It wasnât me! What? You donât trust your own grandson?â questioned Zayden rhetorically while rubbing the back of his head.
