My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 727

Yuna said with a pitiful look on her face, "Grandpa Peter, how could I lie? How could a family like mine allow me to tell lies?"

Peter thought the same.

His tone was full of disdain, glowering at Natalie. "We don't need to look any deeper into this, because it's impossible for Yuna to lie. How could someone born into an educated family, like Yuna, lie? As for Natalie..." Peter became even more disdainful. "How good can a woman from a middle-class family like hers be? She's probably a chronic liar. She's no match for Yuna!"

Before this, Peter had indeed done a basic investigation into Natalie's background.

He did not know about the details, but he knew that Natalie was born into a family of commoners at the bottom of the social ladder. Her mother was unemployed, and her father worked at a construction site all year round.

Just as Peter finished speaking, an upstanding figure walked in.

Tobias had clearly heard every single word that Peter had said.

His eyes darkened.

Before Tobias could say anything, Natalie had already spoken.

Her striking gaze landed straight on Peter's face.

Usually, Natalie's tone would carry respect when she spoke to Peter, but this time, it consisted of none.

Peter could insult her all he wanted, but that did not mean he could do the same to James.

James was the best father in the world, and no one was allowed to insult him.

"Mr. Whitlock, does your so- called educated upbringing consist of pushing the blame to someone without even investigating the matter? You liking Yuna and trying to help her is fine, but that doesn't mean that you can frame me for something I didn't do. In fact, insulting and berating me is fine, but why are you bringing my father into this? Is this the way a so-called upper-class person should act?"

"Yes, my father worked a low-level job, a job that you people look down upon, but that doesn't mean that he's a lowbrow. My father had the most integrity in the world."

"Mr. Whitlock, you have no right to insult my father, no right at all!"

Peter could not come back to his senses for a moment.

From the moment he'd met Natalie, she'd always been respectful to him. This was the first time she'd spoken to him so sharply.

Natalie's gaze fell on Yuna this time, and it was filled with thick mockery. "Miss Sherman, from a so-called well-educated family background, who is apparently unable to lie... Yuna, can you swear on your conscience that you're not lying?"

"I swear, I'm not lying!" Yuna immediately replied.

Natalie smirked. "I see. Your oath has made it clear to me just how worthless your conscience and values are, Miss Sherman."

Yuna's face blanched immediately.

"You...!"

"Natalie, you're being insolent!" Peter came back to his senses and bellowed in frustration.

However, Natalie acted as if she had not heard a thing.

As she looked into Yuna's eyes, she slowly approached her. "Miss Sherman, you said that you didn't want to start a conflict in the Whitlock family because of what happened between us, so you did that by crying your eyes out in the garden alone after being wronged until a servant came to look for you?"

"If you didn't want Mr. Whitlock to know, you could have just walked away in silence. I didn't know compromising meant making a fuss until everyone found out. Miss Sherman, you're really putting on a good show!"

"You're being too much!" Yuna was so maddened that her face flushed red.
