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.
“What are you doing, Aunt Mandy?”
Before Mandy could say anything, Chris took her by the shoulders and said unconcernedly, “Shawn, didn’t she make it clear? Her hand slipped.”
“You-”
“She already apologized. What more do you want from her?” Chris continued, “No matter what, I’m still Old Mr. Watsons’ son and a member of this family. You can’t just side with this ugly girl!”
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.
“Wait.”
“Ms. Nichols…”
“I’m the one they’re bullying.” Natalie raised her face slightly, her eyes cold. “Don’t trouble yourself.”
“What?”
The corners of Natalie’s lips tugged up into a curve under Shawn’s 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, “W-What are you trying to do?”
Although Natalie’s fighting skills were average, she could still handle someone like Mandy easily.
The next second, the sharp porcelain piece was pressed against Mandy’s neck.
Mandy was scared out of her wits. She stammered, “Y-You’re… going to kill me? Y-You’re crazy!”
Chris was also afraid, but he did not dare to speak.
Natalie responded, “Depends on my mood.”
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 Natalie’s eyes.
