Chapter 543 Add This Into His Medicine
Yara frowned at the butler’s words.
“Tell me every single thing that happened,” she commanded. “Spare no details!”
Jefford painstakingly retold the events of the night, including the games and Kenneth’s impression of Natalie after
she left. Yara’s face became increasingly grim as the story progressed.
This b*tch grew up in the countryside with Jennie! She’s my twin sister, yet her talent and grit far surpass me!
Taking a leaf out of Natalie’s book, Yara had initially tried to impress Kenneth with her chess skills. However, she
soon discovered, to her disappointment, that it took more than sheer force of will to succeed in chess.
Forced to take the easier way out, she amended her plan in its later stages by pretending to lose to Kenneth and
complimenting him with sweet words.
Unfortunately, as soon as Natalie came along, all my efforts suddenly seemed to pale in comparison.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYara listened stony-faced without interrupting. When Jefford was done, she asked quietly, “Do you think Kenneth
prefers me or Natalie?”
“Ms. Yara, please don’t get upset by what I might say.” After a brief hesitation, he continued, “You have been by his
side for the past five years. I have seen that your efforts have been appreciated by him and as a result, occupy an
important place in his heart. However…”
“Speak your mind.”
“However…” Jefford continued, with a wary eye at Yara.
“It might only take a few more visits from Natalie and her children for the work you’ve laid down for the past five
years to come crashing down.”
Initially fearful to be subjected to the full extent of her wrath, she merely nodded to Jefford’s surprise. “Well said.
That only proves that she is a formidable opponent.”
“Ms. Yara, what are you…” Jefford’s voice trailed off uncertainly.
“Add a pinch of this into Kenneth’s medication every day,” Yara instructed as she handed him a tiny porcelain vial.
“Only a pinch at a time. You have a three-month supply in your hand.”
“What’s this?” Jefford held it up apprehensively with a sense of foreboding.
Yara raised her eyebrows in disapproval. “That’s not something you should concern yourself with. Instead, start
thinking about how you’ll administer it without getting caught. Don’t forget that your daughter’s survival is in my
hands. You want her to lead a normal life, don’t you?”
The mere mention of Jefford’s daughter seemed to strengthen his resolve. His face, though pale, was grim with
determination.
“Your wish is my command, Ms. Yara. It will get it done.”
“Good.”
Billy had reached the Bowers residence before Natalie and Samuel.
The four children were exhausted. After Billy carried them up the stairs one by one to their beds, they fell asleep as

Natalie dashed upstairs to check on the children immediately upon her return. Despite the filthy state of their
clothes and faces, she did not have the heart to rouse them from the depths of their deep slumber.
Back at her own bedroom, Samuel was at that moment exiting the bathroom upon completion of his shower. He
was naked except for a towel around his waist.
His body glistened with water droplets from his shower, yet to be wiped as the large beads rolled down the crevices
of his shapely muscles with every gesture.
Natalie opened the door and blushed at the sight of him.
“I… I’m going to take a shower…”
Barely able to stammer a coherent excuse, she dived toward the bathroom only to be yanked back into Samuel’s
arms with a powerful tug.
Losing her balance from his move, Natalie fell toward the bed with him falling over on top of her into their soft bed
as he allowed her momentum to bring him crashing down.
