Chapter 753 Apology
Kenneth was naturally not going to tell what he did in the past to those three elders.
His outburst shocked the three elders and caused Natalie to almost choke on her coffee.
The coffee spilled out of the edge of her mouth. Before she could wipe it away, Samuel’s slim, clean
fingers had already stretched toward her and tried to wipe it for her.
Her heart skipped a beat as she shot him a glare to warn him about the many eyes watching them. Yet,
he kept smiling at her, unfazed.
The three elders lowered their heads when Kenneth scolded them, so they didn’t notice that.
“We did what we did because we cared about you, Mr. Kenneth…” Miguel explained in a small voice as
his face turned pale.
“You bullied my precious granddaughter-in-law. Even If my grandson didn’t try to pick a fight with you, I

grandchildren for me and saved my life twice. It’s not an exaggeration to say she’s the Bowers family’s
benefactor!”
When the three elders heard what he said, their hearts were already like a pool of stagnant water
because they were already numb from the shock.
Natalie had repeatedly exceeded their expectations and embarrassed them. At that moment, even if they
were told that she was an alien, they would’ve just nodded obediently and believed it.
After a while, the three elders recovered from their shock and calmed down. They then asked an
important question. “We saw you stop breathing, Mr. Kenneth. How did you come back from the dead?
Where have you been in the past two weeks you went missing? Why didn’t you contact us to let us know
you’re still alive? We were worried sick.”
Even Samuel was curious. He knew his grandfather’s death had nothing to do with Natalie and that Yara
was the true culprit. He also knew that whoever was backing Yara was involved, but that was the extent
of his knowledge. It never occurred to him that Natalie could surprise him like that.
Kenneth took a sip of the coffee and explained slowly, “I trusted Jefford completely, and yet he betrayed
me. The person who detected something amiss was Sophia. She called me and told me not to take the
medicine because one of the ingredients seemed off. I launched my own investigation and confirmed
what she said. So, in order to gain a clearer perspective on everyone around me, I played along with
Natalie. The medicine I took last was one that would fake my death. The symptoms that you three
observed were merely the effects of the medicine. I didn’t actually stop breathing.”
“As for why I didn’t show up, well…” He smiled. “Faking my death allowed me to see the picture a lot
clearer. On one hand, I was going to use this opportunity to observe who’s loyal to me and who’s merely
feigning it. On the other hand, there were still traces of poison inside my body. I’ve been following
Natalie’s medical advice to recover. I didn’t want to show myself before I was well again. These two

before? This is the first time my body feels so well in ages.”
When the three elders heard what he said, they studied how he looked with greater scrutiny. Indeed, he
looked younger and much more energetic, which in turn made them envious. However, when they
thought about the mockery and accusations they flung at Natalie, they didn’t have the nerve to ask her to
examine their health, even if they really wanted to.
The elders talked to Kenneth for a little longer before leaving the residence. Before they did, Samuel
reminded, “Now that the records have been set straight, where’s the apology you three promised? Isn’t it
time for you three to fulfill your promise?”
Natalie’s eyes widened. I’d already forgotten all about that, yet Samuel still remembered it.
Before she managed to speak, Kenneth stroked his beard and nodded. “My grandson is right. You three
need to apologize to her before you leave.”
