Chapter 351 Bring The Whole Legal Department
A hint of malice flashed across Yara’s eyes as her gaze riveted on the retreating figure.
She’s staring death in the face, but she’s not flinching. What would it take to break her facade?
Yara refused to believe that the incident today did not faze Natalie.
She had taken a gamble by approaching Lia. With Lia’s dirty secret in hand, Yara was confident that she
could blackmail Lia into cooperating with her.
However, she did not expect Lia to harm herself to such an extent to deliver the job to perfection.
Nevertheless, the drug that Yara had fed Lia would do more than just make her vomit blood as Yara had
initially promised. Instead, the effects of the drug would leave Lia comatose, if not dead.
Die, Natalie!
The whole ordeal at the banquet left Kenneth weary as if he had aged years in a night.
“Yara, bring me back to the lounge. I need to rest for a bit,” Kenneth rasped.
“Yes, Grandpa,” Yara responded with deference as she escorted the old man upstairs.
Once they had arrived on the first floor, Kenneth inquired, “About the Lia… You had a hand in it, didn’t
you?” His hoarse voice was barely above a whisper.
Kenneth had years of experience under his belt and had seen things beyond one’s imagination. It was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot difficult for him to identify the culprit after some logical deduction.
“Grandpa, I…” Yara struggled to deny, but words escaped her.
Anxiety seized Yara. She did not expect Kenneth to see through her ruse so quickly, nor did she want to
leave the impression of a cunning woman.
It was impossible to survive in the elite circles without a couple of tricks up her sleeve, but ironically,
manipulative women were detested by men. There was a fine line between wit and deceit, and it was a
hefty price to pay if she failed to tread it.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going hold you to it.”
“In that case, what are you trying to imply?” Yara asked hesitantly.
“After bringing me back to the lounge, I want you to visit the hospital,” Kenneth instructed. “Let it be an
attempted murder; there’s no need to sacrifice Lia’s life. I believe that with your medical expertise, you’ll
be able to save her. I understand that you’re forced to commit sinful acts at times, but I sincerely hope
that you can do some good to uphold the Bowers family reputation, if not your own.”
Conflicting emotions warred within Yara.
Despite Kenneth’s gentle tone, Yara knew that it was an order to save Lia.
Though she had been cramming her medical books for the past few months, she had barely scratched
the surface of the profession.
How am I supposed to save Lia? I can’t leave her to die, but if I fail to save her after attempting to, my
incompetence will be exposed.
She was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
“Yara, do you understand?” Kenneth prompted.
“Yes,” Yara answered with an obedient nod. “I’ll do as you say, Grandpa.”
After leaving Kenneth in the lounge, Yara paced up and down the living room.
I can’t go to the hospital! Even if Grandpa lets it go, Lionel and Samuel will never forgive me if they find
out the truth! Lia must die without a trace!
At the verge of breaking down, Yara’s gaze fell upon a vase that stood in the corner of the room.
She walked toward it and swung at it forcefully. The porcelain enamel vase toppled to the ground,
shattering to pieces.
Yara crouched down and picked up a shard. She fiddled with the porcelain piece as she fell into deep
thought.
Taking a couple of deep breaths, Yara closed her fingers tightly around the shard.
The sharp edges of the porcelain pierced her skin. Instantly, blood gushed out of her palm and trickled

“Help! I hurt my hand!” Tears brimmed in Yara’s eyes as she screamed in agony. Any thought of suicide
vanished instantaneously.
At Dream Corporation, Yandel and Ross brooded over the news of Natalie’s arrest.
“F*ck, is Samuel even reliable? How could he let Boss get dragged away?” Yandel kicked a chair
furiously to vent his anger.
Ross was worried as well, but unlike Yandel, he kept his composure.
“Instead of blaming others, we should focus on finding a way to bail Ms. Nichols out,” Ross reasoned. “I’ll
notify the legal director to pay a visit to the police station.”
“The legal director alone won’t do. Dispatch the whole legal department!” Yandel said frostily. “We hired
them to deal with issues like this, and it’s time they stepped up to the plate. By bail or parole, I want Boss
out of that place! It doesn’t matter how much much it costs. I won’t let her stay in there for another
second if I can help it.”
Ross was also concerned for Natalie.
Hence, despite the absurdity of Yandel’s suggestion, Ross decided to roll with it.
“I’ll contact the legal department right now.”
“I’ll meet you at the police station.”
