My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 726

Natalie was taken aback.

Her mind was in a bit of a mess and she could not piece it together for a while.

Yuna said in a low voice, "Grandpa Peter, don't say anything more. Maybe it was an accident on Natalie's part. I was too sensitive. Let's just forget about this..."

Peter glared at her. "An accident? How could she accidentally say something so cruel?!"

What Natalie had said to Yuna was not just cruel, it was absolutely barbaric!

As soon as he thought of what Yuna said Natalie had told her, Peter was enraged.

Meanwhile, Cecilia's gaze subtly shifted.

She asked softly, "What happened, Peter? What did Yuna go through and what did Natalie do?"

Before Peter could say anything, Yuna had already spoken up. "Auntie, it's nothing, nothing at all. Grandpa Peter, let's go."

Yuna tried her best to make herself out to be someone who didn't want to cause trouble, that Peter had dragged her here against her wishes, that she wanted to act like nothing had happened.

The more she acted like this, the more agitated Peter became.

He angrily spat, "Ask your son's woman what happened! She sent a message to Yuna to wait for her in the garden, then mocked Yuna, and even said that she was the matriarch of the Whitlock family! Look at what a woman your son has fallen for!"

Cecilia was slightly stunned.

She subconsciously looked at Yuna, and then at Natalie, with confusion in her eyes.

Natalie... She never felt like Natalie was someone who would do such a thing.

But Yuna?

Could it be that Yuna was lying?

To tell the truth, Cecilia had spent some time with Yuna. She had a relatively good impression of her, especially because the last time they were in Glevania, Yuna had suggested going back to the United States, which made Cecilia feel that Yuna was a sensible girl.

Now, however...

She really could not believe that Yuna could tell a lie like that.

Selina stood up as well, glaring at Yuna with some repulsion. "Grandpa, you've only been listening to what Yuna's been saying from start to finish, right? How do you know she isn't lying? How do you know that what she said is true? Maybe she deliberately did this to frame Natalie, then put on such a pitiful look for you to see!"

"Selina, shut up!" Peter was trembling with fury.

Cecilia quickly pulled Selina over and gave her a warning look. "Selina, don't say anything you shouldn't."

Selina pursed her lips.

"I did nothing of that sort!" A female voice suddenly rang out.

Natalie looked very quiet.

Her gaze fell on Yuna's face. "I didn't ask Yuna to wait for me, and I didn't mention anything about being the matriarch of the Whitlock family."

Yuna seemed as if she had been greatly insulted.

She stared at Natalie incredulously. "So you're saying that I'm lying? Didn't you mock me earlier?"

Natalie seemed to see right through her. "That's exactly what you're doing. Yes, I admit that I mocked you, but only because you called me out there and insulted me. Yuna, there should be a limit to your lies."

Yuna looked like she was going to collapse.

She pointed at Natalie. "Grandpa Peter, how can this woman be like this? I wanted to prevent a conflict from happening in the Whitlock family and just bear with it, but she's pushing all the blame to me. She's turning everything upside down, Grandpa Peter!"

Before this, she had suffered a lot from Peter's scolding.

But she had never felt aggrieved.

After all, it was her fault, and she would accept it.

She undertook all of the beratings that Peter inflicted on her. After all, she could only blame herself.

But now, when it came to the matter between her and Yuna, she had not done anything wrong. It was all lies on Yuna's part, yet Peter was protecting Yuna indiscriminately and did not even give her a chance to explain before forcefully shooing her away...

Natalie suddenly felt a cold disappointment wash over her.

If it weren't for Tobias, Cecilia and Selina, she really would have left immediately.

Natalie took a deep breath.

She looked at Peter, her gaze clear. "Mr. Whitlock, I'll say this one more time. I'm not lying, and I didn't text Yuna. She was the one who texted me, saying that she had something to tell me. When I met up with her, she was the one who insulted me first, which was why I mocked her in return. However, I never said anything about being the matriarch of the Whitlock family."

Peter was already biased against Natalie and on Yuna's side from the beginning. Now that something like this had happened, he was completely in favour of Yuna, and everything that Natalie said was just an excuse.

He furrowed his eyebrows in disgust. "You really are a scheming woman. You're still here trying to protest. Every word you say is a lie. It's one thing for Yuna to let you go because of her generosity, but you're still trying to push the blame to her. You're really a deceitful woman!"

Cecilia could not bear to listen any longer.

Every word Peter said accused Natalie of being vicious and deceitful. Cecilia knew that Natalie had been tolerant towards him all the while.

What Peter said was crossing the line more and more.

Cecilia could not help saying, "Peter, you can't just jump to conclusions like that before the matter has been thoroughly investigated."

Seeing Cecilia had already spoken, Selina could not hold it back any longer either. "That's right, Grandpa. We haven't even properly investigated this, and you're already accusing Natalie of lying. Why can't Yuna be the one lying?"
