Chapter 270: A Cue For Love Chapter 272

A Cue for Love chapter 272 Crossing His Bottom Line Smack! Phoebe was left shocked by the hard slap on her cheek.

Even though Phoebe’s status was nowhere comparable to that of Susan in the Leister family, Winnie and George still adored her a lot since she had good manners, excellent results, and to top it all off, she had outstandingly good looks. No one could believe that this usually obedient lady would do something so outrageous. Needless to say, George and Winnie were the most affected and furious.

“Phoebe, do you know how shameless you are? Do you still want to get married?”

“What exactly do you want?”

Phoebe broke into an uncontrollable sob.

I certainly saw Natalie lying unconscious on the couch. This man was supposed to be sleeping with that wretch. Why did it become me instead?

Since everything had happened so abruptly, Phoebe could not wrap her head around the situation. She knew there was no way she could convince the others with an explanation that even she could not believe.

Now, there’s only one person who can help me. Only Susan knows the truth to this entire matter.

“Susan… Susan…” Phoebe’s eyes were red and swollen as she choked on her words. “You know the truth to this whole incident… Only you can help me now. Please explain it to Dad, Mom, and Grandpa!”

At the mention of her name, Susan was instantly seized by shock and panic. Even the fingers she clenched tightly in her palms have turned white. No way! It shouldn’t have turned out this way! Natalie should be the one who’s sleeping with this lecherous man! She should’ve been the target of all these criticisms! Despite her young age, Susan was very manipulative. She knew she could never admit everything had stemmed from her cunning plan against Natalie. And that naturally meant that there was nothing she could do to salvage Pheobe’s plight. Since things have come this way, Phoebe can only blame herself for not being meticulous enough and thus causing such a mess. With her mind made up, Susan knitted her brows and muttered, “Phoebe, I don’t know what you’re saying. How else can | defend you when you’ve done such a disgraceful act?” Phoebe could not believe that the person, whom she placed utmost trust in, did not speak up for her and even called her disgraceful. After all, she would not be in such a predicament if Susan had not asked her to help set a trap for Natalie. “Susan, we’re cousins after all. How can you do this to me?”

George and Winnie knew their daughter had high standards. There was no way she would look for such an ugly-looking man even if she had wanted a one-night stand. As such, their gazes instinctively landed on Susan after hearing Phoebe’s interrogation. “Susan, do you know something?” Winnie swallowed her pride and earnestly asked since the matter was concerning her daughter’s reputation.

As Susan was targeted and dragged into the mess, discussions exploded among the crowd. Winnie’s sudden question left Susan so shocked that her face went as white as sheet, while she quickly shifted her gaze to avoid any eye contact with anyone. It was as though she was caught red-handed in a crime. “I have no idea what you’re saying. Why would I have anything to do with what Phoebe wants to do?” Wyatt and Joycelyn too were overwhelmed with fury and immediately voiced out their opinions to support their daughter. “Phoebe only has herself to blame for doing such a thing. It’s none of Susan’s business! Don’t you dare throw false accusations at us!”

Phoebe’s eyes were full of resentment as she pinned her eyes on Susan. She treats me so nicely when she wants to plot against Natalie, yet now she’s pushing me to one side and acting innocent? Fine. If that is so, then there’s nothing for me to hold back anymore. Choking on her tears, Phoebe retorted, “It’s Susan. She wants me to frame Ms. Natalie. That’s why she instructed me to drug her and find a man to sleep with her. She’s doing all of that to make Mr. Bowers hate Ms. Natalie so that she will get his attention!” As soon as her words fell, the crowd was in exasperation of how wicked Susan was.

“Susan is still so young, yet she’s so vicious. Whoever marries her in the future will surely suffer her wrath!” “Oh gosh, Roping Phoebe in to execute her evil plan and kicking her one side now that things have gone wrong? What a young lady with an evil heart!” “That’s way too vicious. The Leisters would’ve ruined that lady’s life if this had happened to that lady instead of Phoebe.” Samuel’s handsome face turned dark and grim at this point. His eyes were full of rage and hostility. Sure enough, he felt reassured that Natalie was smart enough and did not fall for these kinds of lowly tricks. That said, he could not sit still after learning about how Susan and Phoebe had plotted such an evil scheme against Natalie.
