A Cue for Love novel Chapter 737

Chapter 737 Driven Mad By Jealousy

Everything that had happened at the Nichols residence was covered up subsequently.

Unaware of what had happened, Natalie went shopping for food at the supermarket after leaving Dream.

Ever since the press conference, she stopped wearing the hyper-realistic mask. Instead, she would go out with just an ordinary face mask on. Despite not wearing any makeup and having the mask cover half her face, she still couldn’t hide the natural charm she exuded.

When she was about to pay for her food, a hand blocked her from scanning her phone for payment.

“Hmm?”

Looking up curiously, she saw Shawn’s gentle smile.

“There’s no need to pay. Just take them.”

Natalie was stunned, for she didn’t expect to run into Shawn at the supermarket. Nonetheless, Natalie was still glad to have bumped into a close friend.

“How could I do that? Unless you’re getting my bill for me?” Natalie asked with a smile. “However, given your status, don’t these seem too little?”

Accepting her banter gracefully, Shawn explained, “This isn’t considered a treat since the supermarket belongs to Watsons Group. In fact, the shares Grandpa transferred to you include those of this supermarket coincidentally. Since you’re its major shareholder, it would be weird if you paid for anything.”

Natalie nodded in acknowledgment.

“Don’t tell me that you have never gone through the content of the share transfer agreement?” Shawn asked in surprise.

“Mmm-hmm.” Natalie nodded in embarrassment. “I didn’t… look at it in detail.”

After Max’s health took a turn for the better, he transferred shares of Watsons Group to her. However, all she did was accept them, and she never interfered in the operations of the company. She simply left it aside as if it was merely gift money transferred into her account. Since it was an unexpected windfall, she barely put any thought into it.

“You…” Shawn was at a loss for words. Considering the hefty amount of shares and dividends involved, how could she not take a proper look?

“When Dream was in crisis, didn’t it cross your mind to use the shares of Watsons Group?”

“I did consider it but never did it.” Narrowing her gaze, she explained further, “In the end, it was moot. If Dream couldn’t turn the situation around on its own merits, combining the two companies wouldn’t solve the fundamental problem either. Furthermore, your grandfather gave me the shares with the hope that I could be of assistance to you and not to see me use them to cushion the impact on Dream.”
