Chapter 132 The Inner Thoughts Of Shawn

Walking out of the lounge, Natalie bumped into Chris and Charlie and their respective spouses by the door.

The two couples glared daggers at her as if hoping that their gaze could burn holes through her.

There was a glint in Natalie’s brown eyes as she asked lazily, “Mr. Corden, can I ask you something?”

“Go ahead, Ms. Nichols.”

“Since Old Mr. Watsons’ will has taken effect, what will happen to the portion that I’m supposed to inherit should something untoward happen to me?”

The man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and replied, “According to Old Mr. Watsons’ instructions, the shares under your name will be donated to Chanaea’s charity organizations under you and the Watsons family’s joint names.”

Narrowing her eyes, Natalie nodded satisfactorily. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Did the two gentlemen and their wives hear this loud and clear?”

The two couples’ faces darkened. However, Natalie just turned around and walked off without a second word.

Although these two lame excuses of men have done despicable things, Max is still unwilling to send his own children to jail.

The five percent equity not only makes me an effective shield for Shawn, but it also means that I have to help him out when he’s in trouble.

I have to say: Max, as the head of the Watsons family, is one cunning man.

The inheritance given to me is also apt, making it difficult to refuse.

Shawn interrupted her train of thoughts as he queried, “Natalie, what did Grandpa talk to you about?”

“Grandpa asked me to examine him,” Natalie lied smoothly. “Although the toxins in his body were removed, he still needs to pay attention to his diet and exercise given his age.”

“I see…”

“Why do you ask? What do you think Grandpa told me in private?”

“N-Nothing.”

Shawn’s heart beat wildly.

His feelings for Natalie were overflowing.

Although he tried to contain his feelings and show restraint, he was afraid that Max saw through him and told Natalie about how Shawn truly felt.

Completely unaware of the other man’s feelings, Natalie accompanied Shawn downstairs.

More guests had arrived.

Natalie stood out like a sore thumb as she took her place next to Shawn.

Many wealthy and famous people approached them to exchange pleasantries with Shawn, and the conversation naturally moved onto the topic of Natalie, who always graciously introduced herself.

Shortly after, everyone at the banquet knew the ugly girl with a face full of freckles as Natalie Nichols.

While socializing, Natalie chanced upon her family of three, whom she had not seen for a long time.

I did not expect that they would receive an invitation from Old Mr. Watsons to attend tonight’s banquet.

I haven’t seen them in almost six years…

That middle-aged man with a face full of smiles has probably already forgotten that he has a daughter called Natalie.

“Shawn, I’m going to get a piece of cake.”

“Sure.”

Natalie walked toward the family of three slowly. As she stared at the hypocritical and disgusting man, the hatred in her eyes deepened.

Her mother had loved him with all her heart.

However, he destroyed her happiness, occupied Natalie’s grandfather’s family business, and even had something to do with her grandfather’s death.

Thomas, Yvonne, and their daughter Melissa did not notice her. They felt a cold gaze upon them, but could not identify its source.

Even though Natalie walked right past them, they did not recognize her.

Melissa only paid attention to Natalie because she was Shawn’s partner and, more so, because of Natalie’s unique gown.

After Natalie was a good distance away, she held Yvonne’s arm and said coquettishly, “Mom, that ugly woman is also called Natalie Nichols. She has the same name as that woman…”

Upon hearing this name, Yvonne’s eyes flashed with disdain.

“Melissa, they may have the same name, but they lead entirely different lives. That country bumpkin slept with some guy six years ago and even became pregnant with the man’s child. We have no idea where she is now. How can she be compared to this woman?”
