Chapter 130 Break Free From His Wrist

Belle’s grip on her glass tightened as her eyes glowered with rage. “Do you really think that you’re going

to marry Shawn?”

“Of course.” Natalie swiftly glanced at Belle before looking away again, placing her now-empty glass onto

a passing waiter’s serving plate. “Who else would he marry? You? You’ve known Shawn for so long, but

it seems like you two can never be anything more than friends.”

Upon hearing those words, Belle’s face immediately fell, and the graceful image she had been

maintaining instantly disappeared. “You b*tch! Don’t get so full of yourself!”

Natalie continued with her onslaught. “Why not? If you were in my shoes, you would have said worse

things than I did.”

“You…!”

Belle had been the most pampered child in the house since young. Even as a girl, her status surpassed

even that of her brother. Not once had a person of lower status ever spoken to her in such a manner.

Provoked by Natalie’s words, Belle threw her glass of red wine in the woman’s direction.

Natalie saw her actions and took a step backward, followed by a nimble turn of her body. She dodged

the wine completely and managed to keep her gown spotless.

Instead, the wool carpet on the floor was now dyed red as a result.

Internally, Natalie sneered.

I knew it. These spoilt brats have no other tricks up their sleeves.

Belle’s last-ditch attempt to embarrass Natalie in front of the crowd had failed. Meanwhile, Shawn rushed

over towards them.

“Are you alright, Natalie?” Shawn immediately wrapped an arm around Natalie’s waist, glaring at Belle.

Belle was caught off guard by his sudden appearance.

“Belle! Natalie is an important guest invited by Grandpa and me. What do you think you’re doing?”

Shawn lashed out.

“Shawn, I… I’m just…” Belle knew that her actions were caused by a fit of anger. As she calmed down,

she realized that splashing wine in front of a large crowd was a low blow.

I already set up a trap for her. I shouldn’t have acted so early.

“She didn’t do it on purpose. Her hand slipped,” explained Natalie as she gave Belle a friendly smile. “Am

I right, Ms. Green?”

Knowing that there was no other way to save herself from this awkward situation, Belle reluctantly

agreed with Natalie and put on a smile. “Yes, you’re right.”

Of course, the three of them knew that Belle was lying.

Without sparing Belle another look, Shawn took Natalie’s hand and proceeded toward the second floor of

the hall. “Come on. Grandpa is waiting for you.”

Shawn’s gesture caught the attention of everyone in the banquet hall. Gossiping with each other loudly,

they fixed their gazes on the duo as Shawn and Natalie ascended the stairs.

“What just happened?”

“What’s wrong with Shawn’s beauty standards? Why does he prefer a freckled-faced woman over a

flawless beauty like Belle?”

“Argh! I wouldn’t have gone for laser treatment if I had known he liked freckles!”

“Is that woman going to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Watsons family soon?”

Belle stood rooted to her spot. Her face was drained of color, but anger flared up within her heart.

I’m going to make you suffer a complete defeat and cause your fall from grace tonight, right here at this

banquet. You can stay smug for all you like, but there’s something big coming your way.

After reaching the upper floor, Natalie lightly twisted her wrist to release herself from Shawn’s grasp.

Startled, Shawn said, “I’m sorry for acting so abruptly…”

“Don’t misunderstand.” Natalie gazed into Shawn’s eyes. “My feud with Belle was purely personal. It had

nothing to do with you.”

Natalie’s eyes were clear and bright. Shawn had seen numerous pairs of eyes, but they had all been

filled with desire and greed. This was his first time seeing someone with such a pure gaze.

Natalie had said all those in order to establish her boundaries and keep her distance from him, but

Shawn only grew even more mesmerized by her.

His finger slowly moved upward, and his gaze fell to her jawline. He wanted to rip off the hyper-realistic

mask from her face and see what she truly looked like.
