Chapter 722


    Yuna shook her head, the very picture of intoxication. "I''ve really had too much to drink today. Why am I just blurting these things out?"


    Selina watched in awe and amazement.


    Yuna''s performance was worthy of an Oscar. This was nothing short of a legendary performance.


    First. she''d downed some alcohol to give off the impression that she was drunk, then brought up her crush on Tobias. She knew for a fact that Tobias’


    wife was seated right at the table, but she still outrightly challenged her like this in a bid to make Natalie ufortable.


    Then, she made it seem idental when she reminded everyone how she had done Tobias a favor.


    And now she was pretending that she did not know what she had said..


    Selina couldn''t help saying mockingly, "It''s a pity that a certain someone isn''t an actress, really.”


    Everyone could see that Yuna was putting on a show, except for Peter.


    He had so much sympathy for her that his heart was about to melt.


    At Yuna''s words, Peter was reminded of her contribution to saving Tobias. If it weren''t for her, Tobias probably would have lost his life in the ocean


    In that instant, Peter''s hatred and repulsion for Natalie grew.


    "Yuna, l''ve let you down," Peter could not help but say.


    It was all his fault. He was powerless against his own grandson


    Otherwise, he could have forced Tobias and Natalie apart, so Tobias and Yuna could be together.


    “Grandpa, what are you talking about? It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t say so much when I''m drunk." Yuna hurriedly replied.


    The self- me in Peter''s eyes became even heavier.


    Yuna was indeed a sensible girl


    Meanwhile, Yuna''s gaze fell on Natalie, and she said gently, “Natalie, right? I''m really envious of you, you know, envious of the fact that a in girl


    like yourself managed to make Tobias fall for you. You''ve proven to me that a man and woman don''t have to be equals to be in love, as long as the


    woman is skilled enough.”


    Natalie had nothing to say.


    She waspletely speechless.


    Of course she could hear Yuna''s underlying mockery.


    Yuna was mocking her for being a normal girl-next-door, and at the same time saying that she had a few tricks up her sleeve.


    Yet she''d said it in such a gentle way that there was no way to fault her for it. What''s more, Peter was still here, and he almost wanted to ce Yuna


    on a pedestal.


    Natalie''s lips twitched, but she didn''t say anything


    Naturally, Yuna''s words roused Peter''s anger again.


    How could a woman like Natalie, who had nothing to her name, be with someone like Tobias? There was no exnation other than bad intentions


    and using sly tricks.


    This woman was too scheming


    How could a person with such an ordinary background have Tobias wrapped around her finger?


    Peter huffed.


    Yuna suddenly stood up and said, "Grandpa Peter, I think I''ve really had too much to drink. I wouldn''t be saying all this nonsense if I weren''t drunk.


    I''m going to go out for a walk to clear my head."


    "I''ll have a servant apany you. You''re tipsy," Peter said


    Yuna gently nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa Peter."


    Peter immediately ordered one of the servants apany Yuna outside.


    Peter, whose fury had just been sparked by what Yuna had said, was in no mood to continue dining at the moment. He stood up abruptly. "Tobias,


    come to the study with me."


    Tobias'' gaze deepened.


    He took a look at Natalie. who nodded at him.


    Tobias casually straightened Natalie''s top. "I''ll be right back, Natalie.”


    Though he hadn''t said anything about everything that had just happened, he was clear what was going on. It looked like he had to make certain


    things clear to Peter.


    He and Natalie would only be staying here for half a month.


    Even so, he didn''t want Natalie to be upset for even one second.


    After Tobias and Peter left, Selina put down the fork in her hand


    She grimaced at Natalie. "Natalie, we''ve just watched a great show."


    Natalie lifted the corner of her mouth in response.


    Selina pouted. "At least I''ve finally gotten to see what a real b*tch looks like.”


    "Selina, don''t say ridiculous things like that." Cecilia gave her a look.


    Selina stuck out her tongue. "Isn''t that the truth?”


    Cecilia sighed to herself.


    Then, her eyes fell on Natalie. “Natalie, don''t pay her any mind. You know..."


    She wanted to say something, but stopped.

    Cecilia nodded with relief. "Natalie, I''m sorry.”


    Natalie smiled without saying a word


    The truth was that she wasn''t really bothered by it anymore. Now that she''d cleared her doubts, it didn''t matter whether she was in the right or wrong


    She honestly hadn''t taken any of Yuna''s words to heart.


    Cecilia thought that she would''ve felt wronged, because she thought she was still the old Natalie, the one that would kick up a fuss over tiny


    matters.


    But now, she was genuinely not like that anymore.


    As long as she and Tobias were doing well. she could ignore everything else and pay no heed.


    Meanwhile, Natalie’s mobile phone suddenly rang.


    The text was from an unsaved number.


    Natalie thought she''d seen this number before. When she opened the message, she saw that it was from the number that texted her the night before.


    "I''m waiting for you in the garden.”


    The text message was short as usual.


    Natalie''s eyes glinted.


    After a while, she stood up. "Selina, Auntie, you enjoy your meal. I''m going for a walk in the garden."


    "Where are you going, Natalie? Do you need me toe with you?” asked Selina


    Natalie shook her head. "It''s alright, I''m just going to get some fresh air.”


    She wanted to find out why Yuna called her outside and what else she had nned to cause a misunderstanding between her and Tobias.


    When she arrived in the garden, Natalie had already caught sight of Yuna from a distance.


    She was standing together with a servant. When Natalie walked over, Yuna whispered a few words to the servant.


    The servant nced at Natalie and left.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Natalie walked up to Yuna. "Why''d you call me out here?”


    Yuna smiled.


    “Tonight seems to be a little cold.”


    Natalie frowned

    "Can you lend me your phone?" Yuna suddenly asked


    Natalie was confused.


    She stared at Yuna


    Yuna couldn''t have called her over just to borrow her phone, right?


    "Why do you need to borrow my phone?" Natalie looked at Yuna warily.
