Chapter 132
Walking out of the lounge, Natalie bumped into Chris and Charlie and their respective spouses by the
door.
The two couples red 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 askedzily, “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, “ording 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.
“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 twome 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: Mar, 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 apanied Shawn downstairs.
More guests had arrived.
Natalie stood out like a sore thumb as she took her ce 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‘tseen 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, upied 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 shed 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 bepared to this woman?”
