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.
