A Cue For Happiness Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Scaring Suitors Away

Just as Gerald finished his sentence, Brandon and Effie looked toward Natalie.

Natalie quickly shot a glance at Gerald and said, “Mr. Jones, it’s not proper for us to talk in the office. Why not we move to the meeting room and continue there?”

Gerald caught on and nodded.

After that, both of them walked to the meeting room, leaving Brandon and Effie looking at each other in puzzlement.

Before Gerald could ask anything, Natalie took off the hyper-realistic mask the moment she closed the door, revealing her bare face. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that, Gerald shook his head and let out a sigh. “Natalie, you’re such a beautiful lady. Why are you disguising yourself?”

“Well, one should always keep a low profile.”

“I don’t understand.” He was worried about the woman in front of her. “You’ll scare the suitors away by doing so.”

“Stop it, Mr. Jones. I’ve heard about you rushing the juniors to get married, but please quit rushing me. Okay?” Natalie rested her head on one hand. “Besides, I’ve been busy taking care of the two little ones at home and have no time to get into a relationship.”

Knowing that she was not someone who could be easily convinced, he dropped the topic and went straight to the point. “Natalie, I’m here to see you today because I need your help to save someone.”

“Who do you want me to save?” she asked.

“The head of the Watsons family, Max Watsons.” The mention of Max put a solemn look on Gerald’s face. “He is an old friend of mine and has always been kind to me. All of a sudden, he becomes ill and bedridden. None of the doctors can cure him. During this period, the wind of change begins to blow in the Watsons family. Max’s children and grandchildren are fighting against each other. All of them hope to see Max die. The famous doctor treating him may be well-versed in medicine, but I’m not sure of the identity of the person who invites that doctor to take care of Max. As I know, you’ve inherited great medical skills from your granddad. I trust you and want you to give it a try.”

Hearing that, Natalie knew there was something suspicious about Max’s illness.

Like the Bowers family, the Watsons family was one of the influential families in Chanaea.

If Max remained unconscious and passed away without stating his will, there would be a dispute in the Watsons family. If that happened, the Watsons family which had been existing for over centuries would be wiped out.

She nodded. “I’ll try, Mr. Jones.”

Gerald nodded. “In terms of payment, I’m going to give you-”

Five years ago, after Natalie gave birth to Xavian and Clayton, Gerald helped her by giving her a legitimate identity and sending her abroad when she was destitute.

He was her savior, the one who gave her a new life.

“Don’t talk about reward. I don’t want that.” Natalie cut him off and looked at Gerald with her bright eyes. “Mr. Jones, three of us survived five years ago because of you. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to cure Max.”

“Thank you, Natalie.” He smiled.

That afternoon, Natalie brought her medical kit and went to the Watsons manor with Yandel.

Before they arrived at the main door, Natalie reminded, “Just tell them you are an excellent doctor and carry on bluffing to attract their attention, Yandel. They may be uncertain about your identity, but they will definitely be afraid of your ability to cure Max and try to stop you. Stall them no matter what, and I’ll sneak in amidst the chaos.”

With a bitter expression, Yandel said, “Boss, can you stop asking me to do such a thing? Have you forgotten I’m the CEO of Dream Company?”

“So what? Is there a problem?”

“Boss, I’ll do anything you ask me to do.”

“Go on then, Yandel!”

In the next second, Natalie kicked him in the butt, sending him stumbling toward the door.

Left with no choice, he put on a smile and walked toward the butler at the entrance. “Good afternoon. I’m invited by Mr. Watsons to treat Old Mr. Watsons.”

Hearing that, the butler became wary. “I’m sorry. I did not receive such an order from Mr. Watsons. You shall not enter.”

The butler’s reaction was within Yandel’s expectation.

He had known that none in the Watsons family was a good person, as all of them wanted Max to die.

However, Natalie was waiting for him to sneak into the manor. Wasting no time, he swung his arm and threw a punch on the butler’s nose.

The butler wailed in pain. “Why did you hit me?”

“Do you not understand my words? I’m here to treat Old Mr. Watsons. If anyone tries to block my way, I’ll eliminate each and every one of them.”

Although Yandel had a baby face, he had good combat skills.

The butler quickly called for support after Yandel hit him. Instantly, a commotion immediately broke out in the Watsons manor.

Noticing Yandel had succeeded at diverting everyone’s attention, Natalie detoured to the rear of the manor and sneaked in through a window.

She had gathered the necessary information beforehand, so she knew that Max’s room was located on the east wing on the second floor.

With some sleeping drug in her hand, she headed straight for the room.

However, the moment she opened the door, there was no one else in the room except for Max, who was lying on the bed.

She hurried to him and placed her fingers on his wrist to check his pulse.

Even though Natalie had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked by her findings. This is so strange!
