Chapter 167 The Odds Are Against Her

Xavian felt his hands and feet go cold as the alert on his computer went off.

To increase the accuracy of Natalie’s GPS tracker, he had installed a location identification system on her

phone and bracelet. As he received no feedback from both systems now, it was very likely that the

devices had broken down after sinking into the water.

Why did Mommy jump into a river all of a sudden?

His brows scrunched into a deep V as he could not get through to Natalie’s phone.

No! Something must have happened to Mommy! I’m the only one who knows that Mommy has fallen into

the river, so I must find a way to save her…

Anxiety overwhelmed the boy as he thought to himself, It’s nighttime and high tide now. The place where

Mommy fell into has strong currents, so there is a possibility that she’s…

Xavian’s fists clenched as he mentally comforted himself again and again. No! No! Mommy will be okay.

Nothing will happen to her.

Meanwhile, Samuel and Steven were conversing about Natalie at Centurion Corporation.

“I hear that Natalie has recently driven Grandpa up the wall,” Steven said after taking a sip of his coffee.

He felt impressed as very few people had the guts to do so.

“So?” Samuel stated while flipping through a document.

Steven initially wanted to know what Samuel thought about the entire situation. However, the latter’s

unbothered reply caught him by surprise.

He asked, “What are you going to do about Grandpa?”

“I’m not opposed to letting Grandpa discipline Franklin, but he shouldn’t have used such violent

measures, and he had no right to lay a finger on Natalie.” Samuel finally looked up from his documents.

His sharp gaze focused on Steven as he added, “Out of respect for Grandpa, I don’t wish to dwell on this

matter any longer.”

Steven became baffled.

Although both of them rarely agreed with Kenneth’s decisions, they generally obeyed him for the sake of

keeping peace within their family. Now, it seemed that things had changed.

Feeling curious, Steven spoke once more. “Sam, what’s so good about that woman of yours?”

“Everything about her is perfect.” Samuel glared at his brother and resumed indifferently, “Don’t ever ask

such stupid questions again.”

A sigh then slipped from Steven’s lips as he shook his head and sipped on his coffee.

I used to think that Samuel would never fall in love, and even if he did, he would fall for the most stunning

woman that has ever walked this earth. Man, I never would have guessed that Samuel would fall for

an unattractively freckled, single mother of two.

Just then, Billy approached the men with a worried look.

He reported, “Sir, Xavian Nichols is here to see you. He broke through our firewall to announce his visit

as the receptionist refused to let him in earlier.”

Steven choked on a mouthful of tea. What the hell? Did this kid actually hack into our systems here at

Centurion Corporation out of anger?

“Billy, please bring Xavian over,” Samuel instructed.

“Yes, Sir.”

Samuel was surprised by Xavian’s hacking skills, but he was more interested in the reason for the latter’s

sudden arrival.

Although Xavian is the same age as Franklin and Sophia, he is much more mature. The fact that he’s so

eager to see me now means that something urgent must’ve happened to Natalie.

Sometime later, Billy guided Xavian into the CEO’s office.

The boy bit his lips nervously. It was evident from his reddened eyes that something had happened.

However, he had been holding back his tears and forcing himself to calm down as he wanted to save his

mother.

Samuel walked up to the boy. “What’s the matter, Xavian?”

“Mr. Bowers, only you can save my mommy now.” Xavian turned on the laptop he brought along and

showed Samuel the screen. He then explained, “My mommy’s GPS signal disappeared in that river half

an hour ago. I tried contacting her in various ways but couldn’t reach her. I think she has fallen into the

river. Please! I need you to save my mommy…”

At this, Samuel’s calm demeanor faltered as a panicked ache broke out in his chest.

He muttered, “Are you saying… that your mommy disappeared inside the river?”
