A Cue for Love Chapter 58 Hyper-realistic Mask The atmosphere in the living room of the Watsons manor felt heavy.
After helping Natalie stand straight, Shawn looked sternly at Mandy.
âWhat are you doing, Aunt Mandy?â
Before Mandy could say anything, Chris took her by the shoulders and said unconcernedly, âShawn, didnât she make it clear? Her hand slipped.â
âYou-â
âShe already apologized. What more do you want from her?â Chris continued, âNo matter what, Iâm still Old Mr. Watsonsâ son and a member of this family. You canât just side with this ugly girl!â
In fact, Chris and Mandy were upset at Natalie for ruining their plans, so they were trying to take it out on her.
Although they knew that Shawn was not a person to mess with, they did not believe that he would really stand against them over such a trivial matter as spilling tea.
Shawn clenched his fists. Just as he was about to step forward, Natalie gripped his hands.
âWait.â
âMs. Nicholsâ¦â
âIâm the one theyâre bullying.â Natalie raised her face slightly, her eyes cold. âDonât trouble yourself.â
âWhat?â
The corners of Natalieâs lips tugged up into a curve under Shawnâs skeptical gaze.
She walked over to the table and picked up a cup. Then, she smashed it and picked up a piece of porcelain before walking toward Mandy.
Mandy was from an affluent background, so she had never encountered such a situation before. She took a few steps back and asked, âW-What are you trying to do?â
Although Natalieâs fighting skills were average, she could still handle someone like Mandy easily.
The next second, the sharp porcelain piece was pressed against Mandyâs neck.
Mandy was scared out of her wits. She stammered, âY-Youâre⦠going to kill me? Y-Youâre crazy!â
Chris was also afraid, but he did not dare to speak.
Natalie responded, âDepends on my mood.â
Though Shawn was also surprised by the turn of events, he did not interfere.
He observed from the sidelines, feeling startled by the coldness and ruthlessness in Natalieâs eyes.
As Natalieâs grip tightened slightly, Mandy quivered with fear.
âDo you know what will happen to you if my hand slips now?â
As soon as Mandy heard her words, she began trembling more violently.
âPlease donât⦠I-I was wrong. I shouldnât have splashed tea at you.â
âYouâre finally speaking like a human?â
âIâm sorry.â
âI canât hear you.â
Natalie exerted more force, causing a trickle of blood to seep out from Mandyâs neck.
Mandy was scared witless.
Soon after, tears rolled down her face like beads.
âIâm sorry. Iâm sorry. I was wrong! I shouldnât have splashed tea and mocked you. Please donât do this.â
When Natalie heard the words she wanted from Mandy, she let go and threw the piece of porcelain on the ground.
âIâm not from the Watsons family, so I wonât go easy on you guys.â
Mandy was so frightened that all her strength left her body. She crumpled to the ground, unable to let out another harsh word.
After that, Natalie stepped over the broken porcelain pieces and turned to leave.
Shawn followed quickly. Without uttering a word, he walked by her side.
âThere are indeed lots of weirdos in the Watsons family,â Natalie lamented and pursed her lips.
If it werenât for the fact that Max is an old friend of Gerald, who treated me with kindness, I wouldnât have involved myself in this matter.
As Shawn looked into Natalieâs soulful eyes, he froze for a moment. He wondered if he was among the weirdos she mentioned.
He opened the passenger door of the Lamborghini for Natalie.
After she got into the car, he went over to the driverâs seat. It was then that he realized there were still tea stains on her face. He took some tissue and handed them to her.
âHere.â
âThanks.â
Natalie flipped open the mirror in the car. However, she did not use the tissue to wipe off the tea on her face.
Instead, she lifted the edge of her freckle-covered hyper-realistic mask by her temples and tore it off her face slowly.
