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!"
