?Chapter 429:


    A sharp crack echoed as she fell, followed by Tracy’s pained wails. Natalia guessed that she had broken a bone somewhere.


    The security team and nearby hotel staff immediately rushed over, and Natalia followed suit.


    But before anyone else could assist Tracy, Natalia stood before her and dered, “Everyone, listen carefully. Whoever dares to help this woman will be an enemy of the Carpenter family from now on.”


    If anyone had been in doubt about Natalia’s identity before, they were certainly certain now. Everyone knew immediately that she was Wilson Carpenter’s cherished daughter.


    As expected, no one made a move to help Tracy.


    Tracy writhed on the ground, groaning in agony, her face contorted in pain.


    She reached for the hem of Natalia’s dress. “Miss Carpenter, I was wrong. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have provoked you. I know I deserve whatever ising for me, but I’m begging you, save me, just this once. Please… The pain… I can’t take it.”


    Natalia scoffed and swatted her hand away without a second’s hesitation.


    Just then, the guard in charge of checking the surveince footage rushed over. “The woman from earlier is no longer in the pool!”


    “What did you just say?”


    Before the security guard could finish speaking, Brian lunged forward, seizing him by the cor.


    “I’m not lying! The security footage clearly shows a man pulling her out of the water.”


    “You’re sure?”


    Under Brian’s sharp, unyielding gaze, the security guard quickly nodded. “Yes, I’m positive. He pulled her out and carried her away.”

    Brian’s tone grew harsher. “Where did he take her?”


    “I don’t know.”


    “Show me the footage. Now.”


    He had to find out who had taken Rachel and where they had gone. Only then could he track her down and uncover the truth.


    Brian had barely taken two steps when Tracy’s wailing voice rang out from behind. “Brian, help me!”


    Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrobly.


    Natalia gave her a cold, impatient look. “Stop screaming! It’s just a fracture, not a death sentence. If Rachel isn’t found, trust me, I’ll make sure you have a lot more broken bones to cry about.”


    Tracy immediately fell silent, biting her lip to keep from crying any louder.


    But her eyes still searched Brian’s, silently begging for his attention. Without sparing her another nce, Brian signaled to a nearby staff member. “Get her to the hospital.”


    “Brian, aren’t youing with me?”


    “I can’t. There’s something more important I have to take care of.”


    And they both knew exactly what that meant—finding Rachel.
