A Cue for Love Chapter 234
The Strange Manor
In the security guard’s eyes, Natalie’s looks were average, but the calm vibe and strong presence she
exuded made him feel that she was an important person.
At her question, the guards immediately dropped their hands.
Not long after, a man in his fifties with a gray coat approached them in hurried steps. Once he spotted
Natalie, he asked, “Dr. Nichols? Pleasee in. My employer has been waiting for your arrival for a
while now.”
“Right.”
They even knew myst name?
Natalie’s stomach dropped.
As expected, Julian hired someone to break the firewall Xavian had built and discovered my identity.
Instead of waiting for him to ckmail me, I might as well use myself as leverage to negotiate with him
to avoid dragging yton and Xavian into this.
The man introduced himself as the butler of the Todd residence. He continued to lead the way through
the magnificent garden and into the huge, luxurious manor.
The exterior of the manor seemed majestic, while the interior was resplendent. Any nt from the
garden was worth at least a million. All the paintings hung on the walls were done by leading
international artists.
Natalie was astounded by the extravagant decoration.
After walking for a long while, Natalie was starting to feel numb in her feet when she finally reached the
living room in the main house.
The maid approached, carrying some tea and pastries, then set them down on the table. Milton
Cheney, the butler, said with a bow, “I’ll bring my employer over.”
Natalie nodded with acknowledgment as she continued to study her surroundings.
The decorations were luxurious. It should have given off a feeling of being in a bright and open space,
but the entire manor merely gave off a sense of being trapped in a cage. The atmosphere was
depressing, sending chills down her back.
Soon after, footsteps approaching the living room sounded from afar.
Imagining Julian in a wheelchair, she wondered how she could get the dragonblood fruit from him and
retreat safely.
However, as she spun around, the scene in front of her stunned her.
The person approaching wasn’t a sickly, obese middle-aged man as she had expected, but a graceful
woman in herte twenties.
The woman was dressed in a fiery red body-fitting gown, showing off her curvy yet slim figure. A white
fox fur scarf was draped over her shoulders like a shawl. She looked pure and innocent. Those eyes
brightened with joy and surprise the moment she looked up and saw Natalie.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
“You’re Dr. Nichols?” Liliana Hoffman smiled gracefully. “Do you know how long I have been looking for
you? It has been challenging to find you.”
Natalie was taken aback by her words.
Wasn’t it Julian the one who spent a billion to find me? Wasn’t it him who hired a top hacker to attack
Xavian? How can it be this beautifuldy?
“You…”
“Hi, I’m Liliana Hoffman. Just calling me Liliana will do.”
Liliana reached for Natalie’s hand, but Natalie almost flung the former’s hand away the moment her
hand touched hers.
Liliana’s hand was as cold as ice.
Liliana apologized, “Dr. Nichols, I’m sorry. Have I chilled you? I already have Milton prepare some
warm soup for you. Please have some first before we discuss my husband’s condition.”
Husband? So she’s Julian’s wife?
Natalie wasn’t in a rush to see Julian but wanted to familiarize herself with the Todd residence and
everyone there.
From the moment she stepped into the manor, she couldn’t help feeling that something was off about it.
Natalie was led into a luxurious dining room. The table was piled with a variety of delicious dishes.
Liliana filled Natalie’s te with some crab meat. Then she said with a smile, “Dr. Nichols, I know you
have no intention of revealing your identity, but I have been searching for you since a few months back.
I had no choice but to use this method, since you were unwilling to show yourself. But it’s good that you
approached me, or else I’d have to go to Dellmoor myself to invite you personally.”
