Chapter 69
A murderous glint appeared in Sebastian’s eyes. Had he misunderstood Natalie again?
He spun around to look at her. Her face was calm, her beautiful eyes as still as a frozen lake.
Sebastian’s world tilted. He had wronged her again?
Marshall immediately understood what was happening. Joanna was trying to frame Natalie again.
“Tsk, Joanna. So you knew I was coming for you and hired these two actors, deliberately letting me catch them so you could frame Natalie. How can you be so vicious?” Marshall narrowed his eyes at her.
Joanna was dumbfounded. Those bastards. Utterly useless!
She burst into tears and tried to explain. “Mr. Spencer, it’s not like that, you have to listen to me! They’re the ones who identified Natalie! It has nothing to do with me!”
Queena scoffed. “Identified? When you bought them off, you should have at least given them a picture of Natalie. Then they wouldn’t have mistaken the person, and your little act wouldn’t have fallen apart so easily.”
Joanna glared at Queena. Who is this woman? She’s beautiful. That’s why I want Natalie dead-I’m jealous of her beauty.
“Who are you? This is my home. You have no right to speak here.”
Queena laughed, her stunning face radiant and her eyes glinting with a strange light. “I’m the ‘Natalie’ they’re talking about. The subject of this whole charade. Are you telling me I don’t have the right to speak?”
Joanna shot daggers at her.
As Queena spoke, she flicked a truth charm at one of the men, so fast that no one noticed.
Just then, Marshall swaggered over and kicked the man to the ground. “Talk! Who paid you to hit my family’s bodyguard? If you don’t tell me, I’ll break both your legs.”
The man scrambled up in terror and pointed at Joanna. “It was… it was her! Joanna! She gave us a million dollars and told us to blame Natalie when you found us. We… we gust did it for the money. Please… spare me!”
The man had no idea why he was saying this; he couldn’t control himself.
Joanna was stunned into silence, staring at him. How could he have confessed? He was dead!
Just then, Natalie, who had been silent all this time, walked forward and played a video. It connected to the Scott family’s large digital TV and soon, three figures appeared on screen: Joanna and the two men kneeling before them. Joanna’s voice filled the room. “Here’s a million dollars, for the two of you to split. I have a job for you. Marshall has been investigating his family’s bodyguard incident. When he tracks you down, you will tell him Natalie planned the whole thing. That will not only clear our names but also let me rewrite the story of that night. I want that old hag to admit with her own mouth that I was the one who saved her.”
“Ah!” Joanna’s face turned ashen.
How could this be? How did Natalie get a video?
“No… that’s not me! Natalie, you’re framing me! Why are you doing this to me? Who did you get to fake this video? It looks so real! Are you not happy until you’ve destroyed me? Joanna immediately turned on Natalie, screaming and crying hysterically.
Natalie looked at her twisted, ugly expression and felt sick, taking a step back.
Sebastian also unconsciously took a step back.
Realizing her outburst, Joanna clamped her mouth shut and glared venomously at Natalie. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ
Nathan shot to his feet, furious. “Natalie, how long are you going to cause
trouble? You and Joanna are sisters
