A Cue for Love novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Invest In You

When Shawn’s finger reached the side of her cheek, Natalie subconsciously took a step back and mumbled, “Shawn, what are you doing?”

Realizing that he had gone overboard, he retracted his hand immediately, staring at Natalie apologetically.

“I’m sorry. I did not ask for your permission and tried to remove your mask…”

“This mask is indeed hideous. But, for now, I cannot remove it and be myself.”

“I know.”

Aaron, the butler from before, spotted the pair lingering at the lounge entrance and approached them. “Mr. Shawn and Ms. Nichols, Mr. Corden has arrived. Old Mr. Watsons and the other family members are all waiting for you.”

He opened the door for Shawn to enter the room, followed by Natalie.

However, as soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Max accompanied by his two sons, Chris and Charlie, along with Chris and Charlie’s own wives.

Max saw Natalie and grinned from ear to ear.

However, the two sons and their wives seemed gloomy all of a sudden.

“Dad, I thought you were announcing your inheritance distribution today. What did you invite this girl over for?”

“He’s right! The people gathered here belong to the Watsons family. What’s an outsider like her doing here?”

Although the two brothers were always at each other’s throats, they would unanimously join forces if it came to dealing with outsiders.

“I invited Natalie over because I included her portion into the distribution of my inheritance,” Max explained as he waved around his walking stick. “Corden, please read the notarized will to them.”

Corden took out the document and started reading.

His words took everyone by surprise.

“Natalie saved my life, and I am giving her what she rightfully deserves. And since Corden is here with us, I will immediately disown whoever dares to question the content of my will.”

At that moment, Chris and Charlie finally swallowed their pride and kept their mouth shut. They knew that it would not be out of character for Max to act on his words and actually send them to jail.

After the meeting, Max asked Natalie to stay behind to talk to him.

“Natalie, do you mind being given so little of my inheritance?”

She shook her head. “I saved you to return a favor on Mr. Jones’ behalf. You really shouldn’t have given me the shares; it’s much too vast of an amount for a normal person like me…”

“It is indeed a vast amount for a normal person. However…” Max’s eyes glittered with confidence. “I have seen various types of people throughout my life, and you… You are not a normal person.

“I hope that you can become my granddaughter-in-law and give Shawn your full support, but I can tell that you are not interested in my grandson. The five percent shares I gave you serve as an investment in you, and as a sort of plea that you will save the Watsons family once more in the future…”
